    For some sure, but for most including us it was a second home we split time between. The ones you feel for are the business owners. The island was built with only a couple of large corporate owned establishments, everything else is locally owned including people who own multiple stores, restaurants, etc. 

    We were there last year.  It definitely had the feel of a country town with its two lane main drag and all the mom and pop joints.  Very sad. 

  2. Not really. I will give him a ton of credit for not turning the ball over so far this season and for not taking any horrible sacks tonight but he made like one nice throw in 4 quarters. He will (probably) need to be better against Tech if Quinn can't go. 

    I am saying we asked him to take care of the ball and not take sacks. Yes, there were moments where he threw the ball and I said Ewers makes that or is on time.

    There is a reason why Card is 2nd string and I do realize that.

  3. Way is the way….
    Loved the fight in this team tonight. As others have said we would have stayed down at 10 down in the past. Card is no Ewers but he did everything that was asked of him. Can’t get down on this kid at all. The other QB was a beast. We threw the house at him and still made plays.

    This hits way to close to home these days.  My Dad died unexpectedly a couple of month's ago and I am working on getting things settled for my Mom.  Basically, making sure everyone gets what they need to transfer items to my mom and close out accounts.  Snail mail and Fax are the main way the majority of folks I have dealt with do business.

  5. Got a couple of inches in the 78640 last night.  Got hit with a couple of systems.  The first one was pretty intense and caused some street flooding around a couple of construction areas.  Some of the run off was serious enough that they closed the road.

    Loved him as a kid watching Inside the NFL with Nick Buoniconti.  This was before the ESPN nightly (and hourly) highlights during game day, when the only time you got a recap of Sunday's games was Inside the NFL.

    or... Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell giving a recap of the weekend during half time.  I was allowed to stay up until after I heard Cosell give the summation on the past weekend.

    RIP.

    Johnny Unitas was my favorite back then.  When he passed I felt it.  The Colts were my favorite team for a while.  I lived in Kentucky and there were no Bengals then.  I saw a Houston Chronicle sportswriter who grew up in Waco write an article and felt the same way.  It was kind of an era.  Len Dawson was part of that era.

     

    I am just old enough to remember Unitas play.  I was a fan mainly based on what my grandpa told me about him.

  8. Dudes like Roschon are always my favorite.  He does what is best for the team and then excels after the move.  Hopefully he is 100% soon.  Can't wait to see what he does at the next level.

  9. Parents overreacting or behaving badly at youth sporting events has been going on since the advent of youth sports.

    I remember when I was walking to the baseball field getting ready to play a game - some East Texas equivalent of Little League.  A game had just wrapped up when I saw a mother of a ball player slap her son for, basically in her words... not striking out the last batter he faced to win the game.

    My sister-in-law has lots of stories about parents getting out of control stemming from her days as a soccer mom for club teams in the Dallas area.  So bad at times they banned the parents from matches.

    Then there are the Moms I used to see wearing their kids letter jackets in The Woodlands.  WTF.  I bring this up to point out how wrapped up parents get into what their kids are doing

    My oldest granddaughter is active in club ball and school sports.  She played in basketball tournament for her Junior High Team and there was an asshole parent in the stands acting like he was at Rupp Arena when the girls would go to the free throw line.  There's that and then watching her play club ball where the whining about the officiating is pretty consistent.  I have to distance myself from where the parents(yep, my own family) sit at these games.

    Bottom line... Mom's and Dad's, your time for athletic glory days have passed.  Sit down and shut up and let the kids play the game.  Don't put your failed dreams and expectations on your kids.  It is their time.  Treat the officials with respect no matter how bad you think they are.  Treat the coaches with respect no matter how bad you think they are or how biased they are against your kid.  If you think you can do a better job then sign up.

    I say this as someone who has been a player, coach and umpire(part of coaching duties).

  10. People that don't under stand the left on yellow\red concept when there is no arrow.  

    Assert your presence and pull forward into the intersection on the green light you fuck face.  You have the right of way when on coming traffic stops.
