    $36 for that tray is pre-covid pricing here in Fort Worth. Good for them and for you.
  2. Gospel truth since Dart Bowl closed. RIP.
  3. Bobby Wuensch and Mike Dean were my heroes on that '69 team. RIP to a great player.
  4. September 5. Having watched the 1972 Olympics and this tragedy unfold, this film shows a side that I never thought about, namely the broadcast crew and all the workers who had the monumental task as a sports crew to broadcast live coverage of the terrorist kidnapping of the Israeli Olympic squad. The actual live footage of Jim McKay's broadcast brought back memories of when I first heard his words letting the world know about the slaughter. Peter Skarsgaard as Roone Arledge and John Magaro as Geoffrey Mason are outstanding. September 5 is much more tense and definitely shorter than Spielberg's Munich.
  5. Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat. Excellent doc detailing the killing of Prime Minister of the Congo Patrice Lumumba. Excellent footage of some jazz greats highlight the historical recordings of Cold War activity between US, USSR, Belgium, and the Congo. Oscar nominated for best doc in 2024.
  6. Set the bar for all future Televangelists and Megachurch preachers he did. Obviously figured if he couldn't fleece the flock of followers and lemmings that drank his koolaid, he'd give it a shot with Uncle Sam to see if the return on billing paid out. They can't say yes if you don't ask idea that EVERY shyster Elmer Gantry wannabe uses. As far as the series goes, being quarantined with COVID it made for a nice day to binge all six episodes. Without attempting to validate historical correctness, it was worth the time spent to watch it.
  7. Especially in the SEC. While our top two running backs will return and Arch will start, Flood will have to work a miracle to coach a decent OL to allow the playmakers to have space/time to do their work. Georgia and Ohio State exposed the line forcing Quinn and the offense into a one dimensional unit. The offense was able to perform well enough against defenses with less talent than top rated teams, but this next year might not be able to be so fortunate. Guess we'll know something pretty quickly since the opener is at the Shoe in Columbus in September.
  8. Kurt Gibson 1988 WS home run VY 4th and 5 2006 Rose Bowl Secretariat 1972 Belmont Stakes Buzz Lightyear-to infinity and beyond. Infinity represents a concept that is boundless, endless, and infinite. It is a concept that goes beyond the limits of human understanding, and it represents the unknown and the unexplored. Beyond refers to a place or state that is far away from a given point. It is a word that suggests that there is more to explore, discover, and achieve. Beyond represents a world that is yet to be explored, and it is a concept that Surly members have been fascinated with since Thujone first began creating the masterpieces he is now famous for . Yep, this monumentally historical return belongs on this list. May it be so.
  9. The fact that his subject and verbs actually make complete sentences when he speaks after the Drew Kelson hit in 2005 is amazing. His interviews on KTCK during the regular season are good commentary.
  10. Right on both of these. Two slices of brisket, two pork ribs, and a drink for $42. No line at 10:45am last Friday. But by 11:30, 20 deep.
  11. Is that like Aggy turditions? Asking for an Aggy neighbor.

    I have a HS reunion in Corpus in September and will check out the Calallen rec. Vera's was an easy trip from CC that was done regularly-never disappointed.
  13. Yep-that carriage just turned into a pumpkin and the clock struck midnight here in the CST for USC.
  14. It's working-all of us noticed in between yawns while trying to stay awake in this game. Sneaky bastards those announcers are.
  15. Fear not-only 20 more minutes until Basketball Wives comes on VH1.
  16. I'll see your two naps and raise you an earth moving bm. In other news, beach volleyball is now on the Fanduel Sports Network.
  17. For wagering purposes obviously knowing whoever they play will win.
  18. The clock management in the 6-man UIL championship game was better than the first half of this abortion.
  19. I was thinking Groundhog Day, except without the laughs. Bill Murray>Elko/Riley.
  20. If your first change is to move to Fort Worth, I can help you.
