  1. Bump. Headed up that way next weekend for a few days. One day will be tours of the distilleries. Looking for things to do and food recommendations. From my own little research, here is what I got. Thoughts? Additional rec's? To Do: Churchill Downs Louisville Bats game Tour of the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory Muhammad Ali center Restaurants: Biscuit Belly Proof on Main Jack Fry's Decca Doc Crow's Sidebar Against the Grain Repeal Merle's Porch
  2. Must mean we're loaded with future draft picks since none were taken off this roster!!! Right?
  3. I got to assume this is Dusty's last year. Is it a given that Espada is the next manager? What's AJ's contract situation like after this year? (half joking).
  4. Thanks for this. Is there a consensus source for the "rankings"? US News and World Reports? I would be interested in seeing the schools this book considers 1-150.
  5. Why is he not eligible?
  6. As an addition to a 529, I also have a little savings account for nothing in particular that I established when they were born. Could be for study abroad, eventual wedding, grad school, who knows. $100 twice per month (1st & 15th) automatically drafted. When they hit a birthday, I add $10 to that amount. So, when they are 18, I'm contributing $280 twice per month to their savings account. Easy annually adjustments to me, automatic transfers, and it adds up to around $86k for a safety net for them (or you, if needed). You could probably could even get more bang if it was invested in a bonds or something.
  7. The 5 minutes from Hollywood Squares is out there somewhere. Very funny.
  8. Gone at 67. Beware to anyone whoever told the Aristocrats joke.
  9. I guess we're gonna have to give everyone a great, big shitburger.
  10. As long as it is not A&M. I tell people all the time, I would gladly pay full out of state tuition to OU for my kids, versus a full ride to A&M. I detest that place, and their alumni, that much.
  11. I must have been sleeping, but when did schools stop requiring SAT/ACT and what was the reasoning behind it?
  12. SMU has a surprising group of likeable golf alums: Higgs, Payne Stewart (RIP), Hank Kuehne, Colt Knost. And then there's Bryson...
  13. $35 Margarita Day at the Ballpark!!
  14. Guy I was playing golf with said he throws spears of pineapple to his boil. Gets that sweet-salty-spicy thing happening.
  15. Big fan of the actress playing the WSJ editor. Her and the WSJ reporter need a spin-off.
  16. What's the deal with these kids that come on the news saying that they have been accepted at 40+ colleges? Are they really spending $3-$4k on application fees? And god knows how many hours. All to have a brag. Such a Look At Me for the parents and the kids. /oldmanrantover
  17. 5 of 6 down on strikes.
  18. JV strikes out the side in the 1st. Looks gooood.
  19. Thanks. Gonna reserve 2 sacks. Can always peel and freeze tails for etouffee.
  20. Buddy and I are looking to do a boil for our first time next weekend. Where should we procure a sack(s)? He's on the NW side of Houston, so closer is preferred, but we'll go where we need to. Going to have 10 adults, half women. Is 1 sack enough? Any tips for first timers? Purge?
  21. It looked like they were sitting down in the dining room of J-Bar-M in the preview. Outside chairs looked the same too.
  22. Augusta National is one of the most, if not the most, difficult walks in professional golf. No way he tests his leg out there with no tournament conditioning, both mental and physical. Best case scenario is maybe he plays Memorial and makes a judgement on the US Open. Perhaps the Memorial, the Scottish, and The Open. 150th Open at St. Andrews - flat, easy walking course. Honestly. Hilton Head and/or Colonial would be great courses to test things out (relatively flat, distance not at a premium). If he doesn't play The Open, then he may shut it down until The Hero or the Father/Son again. Just my uninformed $0.02.
  23. Alright. There's a MLB thread to discuss Correa going forward. This thread is about the offseason for the 2022 World Series Champion Houston Astros.
