  1. Cool. I can tell a hits close to home story. I was a young whippersnapper working my first company convention in Minneapolis circa 1997. Next to my booth was Carl Eller. For 8+ hours, I listened to Viking fan after Viking fan praise Eller. It got old. At the end of the day, my dumbass walked up to him and asked him how it felt to be on the field during the Hail Mary. He immediately blew his top and yelled that Pearson committed PI. I laughed, which pissed him off. He started to come at me before several folks calmed him down. I survived. That may have been the last time I talked shit to someone that could have snapped me in two.
  2. Sorry. Out of town yesterday. So, the issue disappeared. To answer a couple of questions, There is no evidence of a leak except for both times the aforementioned had occurred. That's what's weird. ZERO plumbing issues - leaks, flushing, or clogs - except the two times when all hell broke loose. And now... It's gone. I'm perplexed by the lack of warning signs like slowly draining water or water stains.
  3. I got excited for a sec thinking Raycom was back. Oh well, I'll just watch HSE.
  4. Per the toilets, the water backs up when flushed as if they're clogged. This has only happened twice in 8 years here. Both times when we had the ceiling leak from the draining bathtub. I'm not sure about your second question. Essentially, when draining the bathtub, water pours through the ceiling and onto the downstairs floor. It's more than a drip. I'd estimate about 10% of what was in the tub, so some of it is draining properly. The only time either toilet has clogged OR the ceiling has leaked has been during these two incidents.
  5. Two weeks ago, the upstairs bathroom tub basically drained right through the ceiling, into the kitchen floor. Neither toilet (upstairs) would flush. I thought it might be the roof plumbing vent based on what I read. The plumbers acted like I was crazy and, instead, blew the drain out from upstairs stating that it might have been someone trying to flush baby wipes down the toilet. Nobody in my house does this, but I didn't want to argue. The fix worked up until just now. Same thing with the ceiling leak and nonworking toilets. Any ideas? It's not the main line. Downstairs is fine. Before eating more money, I'd like to have an idea about what it could be. Odd that there's no lead-up -ie slower flushes or mini clogs. It just suddenly happens. Thanks in advance.
  6. Lol. I'm guessing you know about the Phil Fulmer/Shoney's story, yes?
  7. Told my wife, the challenge will be suited for Sav since it's obvious she's gone. Same thing with the challenge about 3 weeks ago. You know Ozzy's all, "Put me in coach!"
  8. Gonna be fun. My wife is a TN grad; son is a current freshman at UT-Austin. I'd say about 90% of my closest friends are grads from either school. When living there for 20 years, my dream was to see Texas play in Neyland.
  9. September 26th. The day I've been waiting for since 1995. Hell yeah!
  10. My, out of left field, theory is that Savannah wins and is one of the two on Season 50. I can't imagine anyone else being that hot of a commodity from this season. Kind of figured snake bite guy would be the other. Again, just a guess.
  11. I'm still confused about what happened. Didn't Sage just put herself in a hypothetical 2-3 in the next vote?
  12. I can't even get my son to walk from his dorm to the new stadium, which is far closer than the distance I walked to The Drum. Three years ago, I thought it'd be damn near impossible to get in the building. Lame.
  13. Quick ? Was there a military angle in the book? It's been about a thousand years since I read it (It).
  14. So Tech is the '85 Bears?
  15. Agree. And ain't nobody beating OKC anytime soon anyway.
  16. Aren't they quarantined?
  17. True, but I'll always love this time of year. Pony up.
  18. James Madison huh? Christ on a cracker. If putting a deserving, 3 loss team in front of a 2 loss team is just a bridge too far, then why the fuck are there three, 2 loss teams in front of 1 loss BYU?
  19. The Wire. Took my college sweetheart on our first date to see Schindler's List. I thought it was a regular WWII movie. It's in my Top 5; however, I've only seen it that one time. As a teacher, I can't do "kids in pain or dying" scenes.
  20. Really starting to dislike Sage quite a bit. I can't stand her facial expressions, and I can't stand the "backstabbing is fun when I do it, but if it happens to me... It's just not fair!" Take Pavarti. Backstabbing snake. When the tides turned, she considered it part of the game and happily moved on.
  21. Lol. Billy Sims was the first person I thought of as well.
  22. Interesting. Per ESPN, we got four 5-star players. Iirc, two from GA; two from FL. Since my time on the 40 mostly sucked from a football standpoint - RRR aside - I think my biggest thrill was when we landed Lovell Pinckney out of DC. I couldn't believe my mighty Longhorns pulled the 56th or so ranked player AND he wasn't even a Texan.
  23. And it'll suck because you know all kinds of strings will be pulled next year when the SEC has a bunch of deserving 3 loss teams.
  24. In or out, something needs to get fixed because Texas and the SEC is about to start devouring itself next year. IMO, next year's schedule for TX is even more difficult. If you're going to drop 3-loss teams, the SEC might be down to 2 teams in next year.
