  1. I travel a lot for work, especially on the weekends recently. It seems every city I'm in, I find myself trying to find a bar that has the Texas game on. Instead of combing through various Texas Exes pages, Facebook groups, etc., I'm hoping we can make a master list in this thread. If the mods allow, I'll keep the OP updated when someone adds a city. There are a few I know off the top of my head so I'll get it started. Atlanta: Bada Bings Washington DC: Yard House
  2. I lived in Del Rio for 5 years. Don Marcelino's is the equivalent of Pancho's in that town. It's overrated and just popular because there are 4 of them in a 10 mile radius. For lunch, I'd go to Memo's. The food is on par or better than Don Marcelino's but the setting is what sets it apart. It's tucked away in a neighborhood and easy to miss, and inside they have a wall of windows that overlooks a nearby creek where the locals swim. It was by far my wife and I's favorite place to eat in Del Rio. If you're looking strictly for the best mexican food, then Manuel's is the winner. It's small but popular in town as the "nicest" place to eat in Del Rio. For breakfast, Chinto's has the best tacos in town.
  3. At least we will suck in the comforts of a climate controlled stadium this year, which is nice.
  4. We are currently under contract to sell our home. The prospective buyer had an inspection done and the inspector noted hail damage on the roof. We called our insurance company who sent out an adjuster, who confirmed that the entire roof needed to be replaced. He gave us this estimate: Replacement cost value: $21k Less depreciation recoverable: $6.5k Actual cash value: $14.5k Less deductible: $2.5k Net claim: $12k The adjuster said the insurance would give us an initial check for $12k. Questions I have: 1. Are we only going to get reimbursed for the $12k since that is the net claim? 2. How does depreciation play into this? 3. Do they just pay us $12k and it's up to us to make it happen? Or do we send them an invoice of the work completed and they pay the roofing company?
  5. So who won the Ok St week?
  6. Go fuck yourself
  7. "What a game, huh?" -Tom Herman, probably, after starting his post-game press conference
  8. Brooks was unbearable. I'm usually one that can tune out whoever is in the booth, but his suck fest for KU is off the charts. It was so over the top that I thought maybe before the game the producers told him to be more neutral so he turned it up to 11 to remove any doubt.
  9. I fucking hate his shit eating grin after games like this. "What a game, huh?" Go fuck yourself Tom.
  10. Box scores aside, I agree with the OP. We still can't run the ball consistently, our O-line is allowing way too much pressure on Sam, and our lack of any sort of short yardage game is troubling. I get it, 600 yards, 50 points, etc, but how many drives were kept alive by Sam running for his life? The only reason we won this game is solely due to #11, nothing else.
  11. Also, it doesn't matter how bad we lose. Jerruh will never fire Garrett mid-season.
  12. It all starts up front. Just like yesterday's abortion of a game, our o-line is getting owned, especially in run blocking. We're getting no push.
  13. IIX?
  14. I'm not sure if you're completely against driving, but I've always had good luck getting in and out down MLK or some of the nearby streets. Most people are coming from downtown or other parts north, so coming up/going out from the south is usually smooth sailing. I usually end up parking in someone's lawn over by Madison HS but that might be too much of a trek for your old man.
  15. Didn't there used to be some local number where you could call and narc on litterers? I'd try that because litterers deserve to be shot.
  16. After this game, I think I'm more worried about the offense than the defense. Yeah, we whiffed on a few deep balls and jump balls, but I think our DBs also made some pretty good breaks on the ball and came up with some key INTs. We completely shut down their run game even though we were consistently dropping 7-8 in coverage. I'll take that shit all day. However, the offense looked anemic. Keontay looks slower this year with the weight he put on imo, and I think that is playing a big role in why our offense stumbles at times with him in. RJ hits the hole with a burst that Keontay doesn't have this year. Also, it was obvious WV was crowding the line and playing to stop the run, so why we didn't run more short/mid-level passes baffles me. How many times did we have 3rd and 7+ and it was the first time of that drive that Sam even looked to pass beyond the sticks? It seemed like everything was either a stuffed run or a 30+ yard bomb for an incompletion which led to us having to pass our way out of 3rd and longs. Was TH keeping the playbook tight to not show much for OU? This was the most confusing part of the game for me. If we can get a guaranteed 10 yards every time we pass to Dev in the middle of the field, why not do it more than in needed 3rd down situations? This reminded me of the Shane Buechele years where we were scared to throw in the middle of the field because we knew something bad would happen. I just hope we open it up a little more next week and I think we will. Fuck ou and wv can shove their horns down up their inbred asses.
  17. Yep. Used to see P-51s and F-86s doing BFM in our outer MOAs. What a fucking site to see.
  18. So who won for last week?
  19. What kind of plane and what time frame?
  20. And my name starts with an "A", so clearly I'm the winner.
  21. In class as we speak. Just a few weeks late in announcing. I love it here so far.
  22. I would like to announce to the Surly aviation nerds that I have accepted a job offer from SWA. I'll still be flying the Herk part time as a Reservist. Good bye and good luck.
  23. You can't tell me what to do. Go fuck your face
