    There are a shitload of BYU grads in Austin these days. Many of my BYU grade work friends traveled, too. Record low for beer sales, I suspect.

    I do not disagree w/ you, but I cannot help but be a little worried. That's what parents do. I do not want to deter her from going, but want to make sure she is aware of what is going on there. She is. In fact, doing something like that might actually be good for me

    Daughter #1 (UT undergrad) teaches MS in the Bronx. Completed her masters at Hunter College in NYC and recently was awarded a 1-week study abroad in... Cuba. They have a Cuban professor sponsor, but... Not like that person will magically keep power on 24 hours a day and help with fresh water. It does not happen until Feb, but I must admit that I am a tad nervous.

    It definitely did not age well. Nor did I expect what happened in the 2nd half. I'm somewhat optimistic for what could follow...

    Wow.

    Man. Seems like Collinsworth is the president of the Russ Wilson fan club.

    My brother has been insisting that Tomlin is the problem. Not convinced of that yet, but hiring of Arthur Smith surprised me. I cannot tell if he’s bad or if he has a bad roster to deal with. I feel like we are seeing PIckens peak years being squandered.

    Been “not clutch” for many years. Steelers need around a 14 point lead heading into the 4th quarter for a “guaranteed” win. Seems like they always give up long drives late in the 4th.

    Tend to agree that the OL has struggled for a few years. Problem tonight looks like shitty tackling.
  10. boilerhorn
    Lots of missed tackles on the latest NYJ drive. Gonna be a long season if the Jets turn it around w/ Rodgers, who is so miserable
  11. boilerhorn
    I hope Rodgers gets sacked 10 times and throws 3 INT. I am a Steelers fan (both parents born in Pittsburgh) and a Rodgers disliker.

    Funny, the guy who covers UGA for the Atlanta paper, Chip Towers, has Texas at 10. He had them at #1 last week. https://collegepolltracker.com/football/pollster/chip-towers/2024/week-9

    Ohio State and West Virginia say, "Hello." That said, it could be a 3-way tie...

    So-so videos I took... EDIT - crud - need to figure out how to embed videos from my iphone. Here's a snip. And another.

    I was near Burnet/45th and got to see them approach and circle around 4 times (over Mopac) and then saw the final approach at around 1000 feet (prob higher, but what do know) down Lamar. It was awesome.
  17. boilerhorn
    My exact reaction.

    What I saw: Ewers did not step up and was in auto-check-down mode. That made the OL look a little worse than it was. All of that has already been said. Also, I think that Wisner's drop was huge. If caught, that's a TD and totally changes the complexion of the game. O gets more confidence, etc.

    All week, radio and podcasters were asking, "What happens if Georgia gets its 2nd loss?" and "What happens if Bama/Tenn gets its 2nd loss?" and "Does a 3-loss SEC team get into the playoff?" Questions like that and ref-conference affiliation will result in comments and concerns of competence vs. influence vs. malice. There is too much money at stake - esp. in a playoff situation - to allow too many of your conference teams to fall out of the top-12. That aside, the refs influenced both the Texas/UGA game and the Tenn/Bama game. Texas lost on its own - refs did not tip the scale, despite their thumb being there. Oh, and Kirby Smart is a clown.

    Malice or incompetence?
  21. boilerhorn
    Another targeting 0- this one missed
  22. boilerhorn
    You did not read my edit. Regardless, nevermind. I’m grumpy and we’ve shot ourselves in the foot.
  23. boilerhorn
    Agree, but the call should have never occurred in the first place. That’s the corruption angle and SEC office… Or incompetence. Do not attribute to malice which can easily be attributed to incompetence.
  24. boilerhorn
    Goodness - I did not realize until now how much disdain I have for Kirby Smart and the SEC office influence in game outcome.
  25. boilerhorn
    Would have been 45 yards of penalties against Texas
