  1. They moved into the gas station? I hadn't even noticed the Indian/Sri Lankan place had closed. Yeah. Less than 5 mins for me also. That place has actually housed some decent restaurants. The original Vn Bistro was there.
  2. Go to Boudros and let the kids fill up on tableside Guacamole.
  3. with the horse collar miss and the in bounds call...give it to VT damn it
  4. Thinking about Black Crowes at Tobin Center in November. I've never seen them, and I feel like they are band I should see at least once. It's a mice small venue.
  5. Lots of dudes at that concert. Man the show in Austin in 91? Good times.
  6. Mom and her family are from Hondo. We celebrated the life of one of my cousins today, so my brothers and I swung by Alvarez, which is about a block from where my mom grew up. Was going to save this for the game tomorrow, but had to have a taste. Really, really, good. I like Dzuiks. If you like Parisa, try the stuff at Alvarez as well.
  7. The fashion scene almost made me turn it off. So damn stupid.
  8. He's one of my student's this year. The Brennan team has been fun to watch these past 3 years, and they should make another run. All of my student's know I love college sports, but I'm not going to talk to him about his recruiting and decisions too much. I wear a Michigan State Basketball shirt frequently on college days (brother went there and I'm looking at their Athletic Leadership Masters Program). I need to get some Texas Bball shirts.
  9. I hope your kid is having a blast. I think Stratford was up in Dallas with us for the Texas Cup. We didn't end up playing each other. In my time playing and coaching, I don't think I've ever had someone try it, and not love it. Just a great and challenging sport. My sarcasm meter may be off, but here is a little guide. One of our stud basketball players came to watch last week, and when he saw me at school he said, "it was fun to watch, but you need to teach me about it" 1. One whistle - Ordinary foul like knocking the players arm or pusing them down when they have the ball. Offense keeps the ball and has a free pass. The need to pass it quickly, or make it live by "popping the ball" (tossing it up or dropping it) 2. Two whistles- Turnover, Offensive Foul (like basketball charging) , or Ball Under. The ball ball is going the other way 3. Multiple whistles - Ejection. Grabbing our pulling someone back. Impeeding someone (like a basketball blocking foul) Someone needs to go out for 20 seconds, and offense is man up. Enjoy it. My boys, 11 and 9, started playing 2 summers ago. If they keep it up, they will be so much better then I ever was since they are starting so early.
  10. Alvarez Food Mart in Hondo makes a good one. Last time I went to the Frio I stopped and got some from Dziuks and then stopped in Hondo at Alvarez. I like them both.
  11. Still watching the Texas game. (Had to coach today). Need to watch this one later. But based on how we looked against Kennesaw State…. not too surprised.
  12. That's awesome that he is getting a start. It's such a nice change of pace for swimmers. Headed up to Dallas tomorrow morning to play in a tournament against some of the usual powers. Marcus, Flower Mound, Highland Park, Southlake Carrol, Foster, Strake Jesuit, Hebron....etc. We did it last year and gained some valuable experience heading into District Play.
  13. UIL Season 3 Kicked off this past week. Here in SA we had our first big scrimmage weekend at Northside ISD. With the growth of club polo in SA, High School game play should really improve this year. I'm really lucky to coach and train kids at one of the best aquatics facilities in the country. We had 5 pools going from 8 AM to 5 PM today.
  14. I went back to edit the format. When I see Rolling Stones - Satisfaction, well I hear Satisfaction : )
  15. exclusion = defense ejection for 20 seconds. Sort of like hockey. Player goes into a penalty "box" and the offense is up one man for a short time. Some of us old school water polo players think its weird that the commentators say "power play", but if that makes it easier for newbies to undertand then I'm ok with it.
  16. Tough loss for the women. They were really executing well throught the game. A couple of really nice 6 on 5 goals and they were gettin the Ausies excluded a lot. I really didn't like the last time out exection. They didn't seem to do much. They should have at least been driving to draw an exclusion and extend the shot clock, but they seemed to crap out when the initial play fell apart. Go get the bronze ladies!
