  1. I don't want to go on with this forever because it isn't that important, but again, no one is asking Shelley to take the keys to some random house unseen. The point I was trying to make is that Austin is a nice town with nice houses. The Meyers can assume that if they reach a deal that they will be able to find a suitable home at a later date. Yes, the wife will want to be involved in the decision then--hell, I am sure CUM would tell her to just go find the one she wants and let him know when to write the check. But to state that he wouldn't take the job without flying his wife to town to walk inside available property--I just don't believe that. If for no other reason, it creates a spectacle. If nothing else, get on Zillow. And I am married and have a pile of kids. Again, I would assume, as would my wife, that we could find suitable accommodations in a town such as Austin if I had a hundo million in the bank. It keeps coming up that no wife would buy a house sight-unseen. I agree with you completely there. But there is no house buying going on until after the deal. Now in Stillwater--I can see wanting to get a sense of the town. But in Austin--where the brightest stars of Texas live--no need to see if the streets are paved. Sorry to derail this. I just don't believe Saban or Meyer or anyone else with that kind of money says "Wife, I am thinking about taking a multi-million dollar job in one of the top cities in the US. We have to be very careful and keep this on the downlow--but hey, can you reach out to some coked-out real estate agent and ask to be driven around to see some houses? Oh and please tell Karen not to say anything."
  2. So you have to buy a house before you can take a job? When you sign the contract for the head coaching job they also push the real estate documents across the table?
  3. You must not make $12 million a year and have a stay-at-home wife.
  4. Those stupid "so and so's wife is in town looking at real estate on the downlow" posts/insights need to stop. For every coaching hire--not just this one. Urban is a very rich man; could about to be richer. Austin is a very nice town where wealthy people live. His wife does not need to fly down there and look at houses. Without a doubt there are multi-million dollar homes available. This isn't like your uncle Bobby getting an offer to run a bait stand in Kilgore so he sends his sisterwife Betty Lou down to the trailer park to see if there are parking spots available with good shade left for them to jackup the trailer. Rich people will have rich people places to live in Austin. No one send a wife down to look. Stop with that crap.
  5. Sorry, can't catch your drift. I never made it as a wise man.
  6. and if those speakers will work, can I plug them into this receiver and be ok? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-2-0-ch-stereo-receiver-with-bluetooth-black/6187501.p?skuId=6187501 I would like to be able to say "Hey Alexa (to my Alexa), connect to my Iphone and play Nickel Back" and then the sweet tunes come flowing out my ceiling. Doable?
  7. So I checked out my ceiling-mounted speakers. Here is what I found. Phase Technology CI-40 They are all over my house. Two in living room, two in master bath, two In master bedroom, two in office, two in dining room, two on patio. I would really want to connect only the ones in the living room. I have located the wires behind a face plate by the fireplace. Can I just buy a receiver as Buzzrock mentions above and plug these in? What about the circuitry on the backs of the speakers?
  8. thanks CS. That looks awesome but not sure I want to spend that much. Just wanting something to put in the kitchen for wife and I to listen to while making dinner/eating said dinner. What about this? https://www.crutchfield.com/p_714R41PM/Klipsch-Reference-R-41PM.html?tp=72535
  9. Anyone seeing a good black friday deal on a 2.0 system, self-powered (no separate amp). Just want two speakers with good sound to listen to music. No home theater. Must be able to connect to Bluetooth.
  10. Albertsons bought United a couple of years ago. HEB and United had a turf agreement in Lubbock I suspect. When United sold out, then HEB decided to go to the mattresses with the now Albertsons "United." I went into the new HEB Sunday morning. Was a madhouse.
  11. This recipe might seem odd, but it makes excellent biscuits. 2 cups Bisquick 1⁄2 cup sour cream 1⁄2 cup 7-Up or Sprite 1⁄4 cup melted butter Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut the sour cream into your biscuit mix. Stir in 1/2 cup 7 Up. The dough will be very soft, don't worry. Sprinkle additional baking mix on to your counter, about a 1/2 cup seems to work just fine. Knead and fold dough until coated with your baking mix. Pat dough out, (no rolling pin needed) and cut biscuits using a round biscuit/cookie cutter/glass Melt butter in a 9 inch iron skillet or square pan. I stick my pan and butter in the oven for a few minutes. Just a few though, the butter will burn, so watch it. Place cut biscuits on top of melted butter and bake for 12-15 minutes or until brown.
  12. I was thinking the same thing. That Tennessee team had horseshoes up its ass.
  13. Flat surface parking is available if I recall. But I could be wrong; I would call before rolling up in a Free Candy mobile.
  14. Tuscany Suites is great. Short walk/Uber back to the strip. Huge rooms, nice smallish casino, cool craft beer bar. I stayed there a few years ago at the rec of some surly member and was impressed.

  16. Shock. When it wears off, reality sets in.
  17. If you have no other options, the Old El Paso green sauce is better than the red IMO. It makes pretty decent chicken enchiladas. In fact, the recipe on the can is whack (calls for cream cheese), but shit is pretty good yo. Made the Homesick Texan recipe posted above a few weeks ago. It was very, very good.
  18. Any undecided voter that turned on this shit show to help them make a decision turned the channel within 5 minutes of it starting. Trumpers think Trump has won on every issue; those that were already going to vote Democrat think Joe has held his own. All these things do is embarrass our nation.
  19. Fewer... Hot afternoon here in Lubbock. Will be watching by the pool on the south side.
  20. Some great ones already mentioned. A Perfect World (Costner/Eastwood) My Life (Keaton) Big Fish (Time Burton movie) The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill But Came Down a Mountain
