    We have a big group going to the game. Between 10-20 people at any given time. Any thoughts on where to go from 10 PM to 1 AM? Would like to roam as a group and hit 2-3 different bars / venues. Thinking Sazerac and French 75 as bookends. Thoughts?

    Herding a group of 10-20 drunk people through New Orleans late at night sounds like my personal hell.

    We're heading down to Plantersville from Tulsa tomorrow to spend the holiday at my folks' place.  Up until two days ago, we were planning to drive.  My wife saw on Tuesday that rain was forecast for pretty much the whole drive down.  She stresses about driving in the rain to an unhealthy extent, so she decides that she wants to fly down to IAH and rent a car.    

    My internal monologue when thinking about flying on the weekend before Christmas:

    A cool $1500 for airfare, rental car, and paying for two full sized checked bags to take the gifts we had already wrapped.

    Peace on Earth is pricy this year.

    Just got this about a minute ago...

     

     
     
    Thank you for your loyalty and support of Texas Athletics. Your passion is unmatched and has directly helped elevate our football program to its first College Football Playoff Semifinal appearance. The future has never looked brighter for our Longhorns, and you have been with us along the way all season long.  
     
    We received your request for tickets to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game on January 8 in Houston. The demand for tickets from our donors and season ticket holders was the most in Texas Athletics history with over 33,000 ticket requests, and that doesn’t even include the demand from our nearly 20,000 UT students with the Big Ticket.
     
    Congratulations!!! We are excited to inform you that should Texas advance to the National Championship Game, we will be able to fulfill your request based on your ticket request and priority limits. We will notify you of your seat location and price by January 4 when we charge your card on file. Ticket prices for the National Championship Game will range from $650-$1,700 and all seats will be filled as best available in loyalty rank order. 
     
    Mobile tickets for the College Football Playoff National Championship Game will be sent via e-mail by January 5.
     
    We greatly appreciate you for supporting Texas Athletics, and we hope you have a wonderful New Year!

    That's a pretty big increase from last year. The most expensive ticket at SoFi was $1,175 and the club amenities there are a lot nicer than NRG.

    Wife was 42 when she had her 2nd. So probably on the border line. It's her last if I have anything to say about it.

    I did it weird. My oldest (daughter) is 25. And I thought I was done until I got married. The Oldest boy is 10. And I thought we were done. #3 is definitely a wow we still got it baby.

    Craziness..she has joked around about wanting a daughter. I told her to get a dog.

    Get snipped.

    You gotta be a fucking idiot moron cretin jackass imbecile dunce of the absolute highest level to have an “oops” baby this day and age. what a fucking regard

     

    You're making an assumption that it's an oops. There's guys out there that see having multiple children with multiple women as some sort of status symbol of virility and manliness.

    Charter flights, the abbott buses were being impounded. Impound the jets next !

     

    This shit is such a scam to line the pockets of bus and, now, charter airplane vendors all the while Abbott can crow to the Fox News crowd about being tough on immigration. Imagine what could be done if this waste of money and resources was redirected towards humanitarian aid.

    Statistically being a nurse is more dangerous than being a cop, and my license can get taken away for forgetting to write something down. 

    Fuck cops. 

    Start beating your patients to a bloody pulp and shooting their dogs. Problem solved.

    What is it about Scottsdale? I’m not huge into bars and things at this point. Both Scottsdale and chandler seem to be the same distance to work. What is the biggest difference? Found a couple badass rent houses in chandler for year one to get my feet wet. 

    Stassney did a great job summarizing it. I will add that Chandler is a lot more family and since you're a single dude, you're going to be surrounded by people that are at a different stage in life than you are. Keep it relatively centrally located in Scottsdale and you're going to encounter a lot more singles or at least folks that don't have soccer practice in the morning. It's also a much easier drive to the things to do in Central PHX like Suns games, D'Backs games and the good restaurants/bars.

    Because there aren't enough flights to get 30K+ people from the Seattle area New Orleans.  And regardless, with that kind of time and cost commitment, you have a significant chunk that will keep their powder dry for Houston in case they win.  I will be surprised if uppers in UW allotment aren't at or below face by kick. 

    Not all Washington fans live in Seattle just like not all Texas fans live in Austin.

    What was the crowd like at the game last year ?

    I think the Sugar Bowl as a CFP game is going to have a slightly different draw than the Alamo Bowl.

    Yeah, best wishes to her for a speedy recovery.

    The reality of this is that med mal suits in Texas are so difficult and expensive to prosecute that absent a painful early death or lifetime disability, with attendant loss of income and care cost, this probably isn't a very attractive case.

    Yeah, this is the direction I was going in with the question regarding age.

    If I somehow run into him in New Orleans, I need to find a way to tell him he's a fucking horrible person, embarrassment to the state of Texas, and an all around pussy without getting yelled at by my wife and friends.  They don't like it when I voice my opinions after multiple drinks in public, but god dammit, it will be so warranted.

    He feeds off the hate. Seriously, he gets off to it. Heckling him just reinforces to him that he's owning the libs. The best thing to do is just ignore him and act like he doesn't exist.

    Would be greatly appreciated if anyone has a recommendation on an attorney in the Central Texas area (the family is in San Antonio) that specializes in medical malpractice. 

    Brief background: my aunt had replacement knee surgery and the hospital staff, admittedly, botched the wound care following the procedure. Now she's back in the hospital going through multiple surgeries trying to flush the necrotic wound two months later. Total shitshow of an operation. 

    Any direction I can offer them at this point would be very helpful. 

    How old is your aunt?

    This dude is an  athlete AND he shops at Dillards. Bjork would do well to listen to him. 

    That's got to be a troll job. The only thing he could have done to make it better is swap out Kohl's for Dillard's, but they're both probably about the same these days.

    I haven’t been to dirty 6th at night in 15+ years. I almost want to just to experience it based on this thread and see what it has devolved to.

    I was in Austin for a conference back in late 2020 after things had fully reopened. Since it was a conference with a bunch of co-workers I went ahead and stayed at the hotel instead of with my family like I normally do. My wife also joined me because she is friends with some of the people I worked with at that time.

    Long story short, despite my warnings and protests, a big group of us end up on dirty 6th one night. Walking around earlier in the night around 9p was totally fine. Around midnight, I told my wife it was time to get back to the hotel. Stepping out of the bar, we were immediately greeted by the sound of gunshots and throngs of folks that were looking for a little more than a craft cocktail. We put our heads down and walked as quickly as we could back to the JW Marriott. It felt even more unsafe than Bourbon St. At least in NO, the cops have a visible presence and don't fuck around when someone gets out of line.

    You can live in Peoria out by the 303 and its not bad.  Glendale up by T Bird and its cool.  I'm not talking Westgate or Grand.

    Respectfully disagree. The West Valley is shitty unless you moved from the Midwest and think Red Robin is fine dining. I have never found anything redeeming west of the 17 and that comes from someone who is a PHX stan.
