LMAO. Watching Neidermeyer get his ass kicked never gets old.

Stupid aggy. Yeah I appreciate actual military history, but aggy ain't my go-to when I want a fix, for obvious reasons. In Texas, the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg is the place to go. ETA: Some of you probably remember it as the Admiral Nimitz museum. Chester Nimitz was from Fredericksburg and later became a pivotal figure in the War in the Pacific. He didn't attend UT, but in 1985 when the USPS created a stamp in his honor, there was a big ceremony at the old, much smaller museum for the commemoration. The museum's curators needed a color guard to present the colors that day, and they didn't go to the Corps of Cadets. Instead they chose the UT NROTC color guard, of which I happened to be a member at the time, to do the honors. We showed up to a crowd of WW2 Navy and Marine Corps veterans and their families who treated us like rock stars ... despite the fact that none of us had ever done anything remotely meaningful the way they had. We were all just in awe and were honored to be there. Probably the coolest thing I was ever involved with as a Midshipman. :gettingalittledustyinhere: /csb

LMAO that you have to request to join in order to reply, so the aggys there are still clueless about who that song is about.

How would this have not been evident in practice long before taking the field against the Domers? Narrator: It probably was evident but, sadly for aggy, CW's still their best option.

Good to hear the new PA guy is better. It was a low bar. So, now that our long national nightmare is finally over, in what way is the new guy better? More reserved, no silly attention-seeking affectations, more brevity & simplicity?

Replay was shittastic last year as well.

- Go Brandie! -Taylor Sander reminds me so much of Scott Ayakatubby. About the same size. Very athletic and mobile for his size. Similar look and demeanor. Thunderous, heavy, pure arm swing. - Even with a broken foot and playing in shoes & socks, Taylor Crabb is still one of the 2 or 3 best players on the beach. Unreal. Freak.

Hey didn't one of y'all mention something about the Texas Stars moving to the Moody Center? Any word on that?

Yeah that shit is prolly why my SSN is out there on the dark web.

Yep. He reminds me so much of when VY was getting started here. I was telling my kid yesterday about how when VY would step on the field, the whole team suddenly played a little faster and hit a little harder. I might be imagining things, and I'm not trying to take anything away from Quinn in any way, but that's what I see when Arch is out there. That said, Ewers should still start. Like @Hate said above, it's a good plan, and it's working great. This is The Way. This is not a 'VY vs Mock' type of situation.

"No one wants Arch". LMFAO. Perfect.

I did the same. Stuck at a wedding. But it wasn't just the stat line ... it was how utterly and completely lost he looked on every single pass play, and how hopelessly bewildered Elko looked on the sidelines. Wow. Watching Weigman take one read and chunk the ball ob or miles from the receiver - over and over and over was just epic stuff. We got better production from Arch on 6 attempts than aggy got from 30.

Pretty cool how they had no traffic control at either end of COTA Blvd, too, amiright? Such a shitshow.

A friend who couldn't go today gave my kid and I tickets, so it was cool to see Ferrari get the F1/WEC wins today. And it sucked to be able to see less than half of the track. Wasn't, too, too hot, so we had that goin' for us. WTF was going on with those 2 hypercars banging down the back straight, and which drivers were involved? I assumed there would be a penalty since the inside car pushed the outside car almost into the armco. Was there?

He wasn't talking about this year. There are a lot of reasons to be very optimistic about AM's future. They gave up on this car before the break. All in on next year's car, with a lot of new engineering talent, a new factory, and a new wind tunnel ... and hopefully Newey as the cherry on top.

My boy and I were talking about how cool it is to see Ferrari win at Monza, and also win in WEC on the same day. And yeah, we were also talking about Piastri. That kid has it.

They didn't say, but I assume that was why. As soon as MAG nailed his sidepod I fugured he was done. Or was that Hulk who hit him?

Yeah & I didn't see anything wrong with Piastri's move. Looked very clean to me. Nobody should expect Paistri to roll right over, esp when he's starting on the front row. That situation was nothing like what happened earlier in the season.

That was a rumor that some F1 media outlets have debunked.

So in addition to closing at least half of the track, apparently COTA also kicked paying customers out of the T15 GS because there was a concert coming up in the Amphitheater. Can't have any freeloadin' race fans hearing a note or two of the concert without paying! Just another in a long list of giant middle fingers COTA has given to racing fans.

IIRC he had to step out of any significant car development roles as soon as he announced he was leaving, and was even told which areas he was allowed to stand in, etc. TBF, that's SOP in these suituations. So yeah, I think RBR's performance could already be showing the effects of his absence, but who knows? I've heard that his contract ends today, so I expect an announcement of some sort soon, probably at the beginning of the next GP weekend. Add in what hawndoh said, which could be true as well, and don't forget that RBR hasn't just lost Newey. They've lost a lot of engineering talent over the last couple of years.

After their unfortunate chase down the wrong rabbit hole, AM is done developing that car. If you see any new parts on it the rest of the way, they're likely testing them for next year.

Yep, quoting myself ... I've been told in response to this question that Vowles even admitted it at the start of the year that Logan got practically no seat time. He did a couple of FP1s for Williams in 2022, the Young Driver Test that year, and then his day and a half of pre-season testing and that was it.

Yeah I posted the same thing on another board. Amazing swing since 111 degrees not long ago.

Looking at the test time that the young drivers in some teams get these days in older cars, and how much it helps them prepare for what's ahead, I wonder how much of that seat time Logan did or did not get with Williams before moving into that seat. If he was missing that seat time, I wonder what could have been for him if he'd gotten it. Too bad he was stuck in such a cash-strapped team.
