2025 Thread of the Rains
These Hill Country rain events are hard to predict, especially when they involve tropical systems that come in from the south through Mexico. Some of th early models had the heaviest rains happening further south and west in the Concan/Uvalde/Leakey area. In fact I went to bed Thursday evening expecting just that to not only wake up early Friday to all the horrible news breaking just to the north of the area. This system was supposed to kick out the region yesterday and here it is today flooding areas further east this morning. Same thing with Harvey back in 2017 that was supposed to do the classic hit the coast and head toward the San Antonio area and then it curved Northeast and stalled more like an old frontal boundary and did itās thing to the Houston area. I think the best Mets can put a forecast out there, but weather systems and patterns have a mind of their own.

Getting old sucks
Was recently diagnosed with my first skin cancer a couple of weeks ago. Just a spot on my thigh, but nothing serious. They were able to burn it off instead of taking out a chunk of skin, but now Iāll have to vigilant with more routine skin checks and protecting myself better outdoors for prolonged periods. None the less when you hear the C word and you are 53, it makes you take pause.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Graham is also a forever student at South Carolina. I can see him cashing in on aggy. Their fan base slurps up Billy Liucciās drivel.

Texas BBQ
Great lunch alternative! Whatās funny about that Cooperās price is chopped is supposed to be the cheaper option. The sliced version must be $40 per pound. Pass, and I mean huge pass especially at Coopers.

Texas BBQ
Are these BBQ joints owned by aggy alums or boosters? If so they need to update Smolik's in Mathis because it's now owned by Greeks who own the U&I Restaurant and Nikos among others in Corpus. I don't think they are aggy, but who knows? And even under the previous owners, it was decent BBQ. But it's not destination place exactly other than being off I-37. Personally you go the Butters in Sinton for much better BBQ.

You havenāt been to the Burnt Bean I see? Talk about slow and inefficient. Speaking of linesā¦. How fast does the line move at Leroy & Lewis? Itās been on my try list for awhile and I will up that way in a few weeks and want to give a try finally.- Realignment talk not going away
I never understood how that gap was facilitated and allowed to be overlooked.- Realignment talk not going away
Early 80ās. Made the jump to 1-AA right after they won their last national title in D2 in 1982. That was also Jim Wackerās last year at SWT.- Steve Sarkisian is fucking awesome
Your second paragraph is great observation. Of course the big money donors voices are still heard, but they and a clueless BOR and Admin are not micromanaging the ship like they did in they did under Deloss and certainly in the period between Deloss and Del Conte. CDC was given a standing order to do what he needed to do to right the ship not only with the football program, but others too.- Steve Sarkisian is fucking awesome
All of this! This is why Iām a Sark fan. You can read into this interview as well as others he is humbled to be the Head Coach of the University of Texas and heās not taking it for granted. He wants to be a generational type coach much like Saban and he has every tool at his disposal to do this. Most of us who are around Sarks age have been through the dumps or might be currently going through them like I am with the layoff thing. Then something happens and maybe unexpectedly on the good side to get you out of that situation and with time you look back and see where you where you were at and where you are now and donāt want to go back to that low point. Sark has a good thing going in Austin and doesnāt want to go back.- Realignment talk not going away
Yep. To think some of us have seen Texas State grow from a DII school to now a member of what was or is a power conference (donāt know if they still have that status?). Crazy how much things have changed in San Marcos.- Tell Me About Texas a&m

I heard the family was at odds, but this really filled in the details or at least some them. Certainly there is more I bet Hopefully this doesnāt end horribly.- Family Cruise with 18 Year Old Kids (June 2026)
Iām not a cruise fan after doing a few in the Caribbean/Mexico. BUT I would make an exception for doing a Mediterranean and Scandinavia cruise in the future. Upside with those two destinations is you make stops at Ports almost everyday save maybe one for a āday at seaā. And the ship will arrive early and leave late due to the proximity of the next Port or even overnight. This gives you ample time to explore on your own vs taking packaged excursions.- Lump Charcoal
B&B was acquired by Duraflame in 2021. That might be the answer. But HEB to the rescue. Iāve used the Mesquite version and it burns nicely https://www.heb.com/product-detail/central-market-oak-lump-charcoal/1633408- 2025 College World Series
Has to be Pig. Two choke jobs for them vs one for aggy.- 2025 College World Series
- 2025 UIL Athletic Agenda and Proposals-
This thread went Surly. From Menās Volleyball to Chicken nuggets. Never mind the UIL did nothing to revert back to old split division playoff format for football so those of us in 5A and below can get rid of some of these ridiculous district set ups Please hurry up football season.- Air India B787 crash
This is the first 787 to go down in the thirteen years itās been operational. Which is remarkable considering the scrutiny both the 787 and 737 Max have received. But this might be due to the fact many of long haul flights are using older Boeing models or Airbus.- ESPN College GameDay location
Iām waiting for aggy and the rest of the SEC media parrots to come out of the wood work who were taking shots at us for not moving this game to prime time on Sunday night. - Texas BBQ
