  1. How will it work on away games? I have gone to away games and, to me, it is something special to sing "The Eyes" with the Team after the game, win (preferred) or lose. For me it is a sign of appreciation to the players of a well played game and acknowledgement from the players to the fans/alumni that bothered to make the trip to cheer for and support them.
  2. Sorry, can never be too sure about the folks on Surly!!
  3. Based on what? Know something that everyone else doesn’t know l?
  4. There are 2 plays tonight that if Watson turned his head around he could have had a pick.
  5. That looks like me when I play basketball with much younger guys. They run around so much that they consistently come back into the space that I am defending! I move about 25% of the amount they do but cover them about 75% of the time.
  6. From the thriving metropolis of Hallsville, Texas working from home.... FIGHT!!!
  7. Surely you Surly...so, It's happening!
  8. I have a War issued M1 Carbine and a 1911 .45 as well. Would like to have a Garand one day. My son has a War issue 03 Springfield that was modified in the 1950's for hunting.
  9. Thanks, what you see in the picture is about 1/3 of my collection. I have a hallway and a room upstairs that is full too.
  10. Nice to have family items. My grandfather was a bit on the old side during the war plus he was in the rail industry so he did not get drafted. He did serve in the Texas Guard during the War. I have his garrison cap. He had a brother that served in the Aleutians. I have another great-uncle that served from 1937 through 1962. I have tons of items that was his during and after the War.
  11. Earl has spoken. So shall it be.
  12. Weather will certainly dictate what we do as I will be driving in from Texas. It has already snowed there and we will not be there until late October. Right now the plan is to enter the Park in the Northeast (Silver) Gate and drive to Mammoth Hot Springs where we will spend 2 nights beginning Sunday evening. All day Monday and Tuesday we will do the Northern Loop and then drive to Jackson Hole Tuesday evening. From there we will do the Grand Tetons and the Southern Loop in Yellowstone. I would like to get at least one hike in if possible.
  13. Nice. I did not know that this museum existed. Only a couple of hours away for me too.
  14. Any of you out there collect militaria? If so, what? I collect WWII memorabilia primarily focusing on US named uniforms (100+). In addition to uniforms I have a little bit of everything else including headgear, field gear, manuals, pictures, newspapers, books, patches, medals, etc. Most items are US but I do have some Third Reich stuff. (un)Fortunately I have the space in my house to have it all out on display to see and enjoy.
  15. Just now stumbling across this topic as I spend the bulk of my time in the football forum. As time allows I will go back and read the preceding 20+ pages. Glad that I came across this. I have only been hiking for the last 5 years or so and have only done one multi-day hike (Grand Canyon with some older work buddies) that required sleeping on the ground. Would like to do more and plan on doing so in the near future. My issue is that 99.9% of my hikes I do alone. When I do hike with others it is usually with my girlfriend who is a novice at best. I am 54 years old, a dad, and a grandfather so I hike prepared for just about anything which tends to make my pack much heavier than I need it to be. Since I hike alone there is no load-sharing. Plus, with the flexibility of my job I often hike during off-times when there may not be anyone else on the trail. Most of my hikes have been between 5 to 15 miles long. In the past year I have hiked the following areas/trails: El Malpais Obed: Lilly Bluffs Trail Cumberland Gap: Hensley Settlement Trail and the White Rocks/Sand Cave Trails Buffalo National River: Tyler Bend Area (ticks were horrible), Ponca Wilderness Area (Hemmed-In Falls/Buffalo River) Petrified Forest National Park Saguaro National Park Sedona: Cathedral Rocks and Munds Mountain Wilderness Smoky Mountain NP: Alum Cave, Mt LeConte/Myrtle Point In late October the girlfriend and I are driving from East Texas to the Grand Teton NP and Yellowstone NP. I just hope the weather holds off as I am only driving a 2-wheel drive Silverado. We plan on driving through the parks and doing a daily hike. We will be in Yellowstone for 3 days and the Tetons for 2 days. Any thoughts on some easy to moderate hikes?
  16. I am 54 and I still cannot believe that it is a "thing".
  17. A buddy of mine was an offensive lineman’ for Navy. He flew transport and intel type aircraft.
  18. All of Dutton's enemies were in on the hits. Coincidence that they all happened at the same time. Casey is a warrior. He has the Indians "respect". The Indian lawyer woman put her men on him without Rainwater's approval/knowledge. His driver may have known or was in on it. The Equity lawyer said that it is time to start treating this case like a Middle East case. They bomb things in the Middle East. The Equity people had the hit on Beth. John Dutton was attacked by people employed by Jamie with the help of his dad. His dad got some drunk cellmates to do the hit. They are not pros. The Duttons get revenge. Rip goes wild(er). The Montana cattlemen that were just in Casey's office form a posse and help the Duttons out. In the end Tate gets the ranch. The Duttons win becasue Tate is a Dutton and the Indians win because Tate is half Indian. The land is preserved for all.
  19. Looked like the receiver slipped a bit otherwise the DB would have had to go through the receiver for the pick.
  20. Why does him driving 3-1/2 hours to give the Horns to Guy not surprise me? He is just that kind of a person. Hookem Earl!!
  21. Had to Google. Looks like they wore JT throwback uniforms a few years ago too. Nice.
  22. Yes. Football. Finally. Enjoy it while you can. Will watch. It is football.
  23. Bushes have a tendency to hide some things. I prefer a clear view of what I am getting into.
  24. As a grad transfer I assume he will be a TA. Is he here to school the DB’s or WR’s? Want to know before I sign up for the class.
  25. And does it get better?
