  1. And if the internet is to be believed, was too stupid to learn the playbook.
  2. It looks like the Schotty Cowboys are prioritizing character with their draft picks, hopefully not to the detriment of talent.
  3. Which makes it even more stunning the Cowboys didn’t take him in the first round.
  4. Thanks. I have several specific family example about how the Mayo Clinic has saved lives in our family many times. Part of me is just thinking to relocate there for three or four months, as opposed to doing Anderson. Tough call.
  5. Because it’s awesome!
  6. Hes undersized.
  7. Good kid, but too small. Bad pick.
  8. Watch them reach for Scataboo.
  9. So I have to ask an uncomfortable question that hopefully doesn't upset anyone. I’m doing some treatment planning for the future. I’ve been using the Mayo Clinic for my medical care for years. Mayo is the absolute gold standard for medical facilities. It’s incredible for many many reasons. However, we may need better proximity for care in the future. It relates to the particular procedures that need to be done. That leaves MD Anderson as a potential natural alternative choice to Mayo. However, I have a highly respected medical relative that cautioned me against using MD Anderson for cancer care due to the particular philosophy and approach they often use for cancer treatment, and the fact they sometimes are too cavalier about doing research oriented treatments. It’s the same reason Lance Armstrong chose a facility other than MD Anderson for his cancer treatment. Thoughts on MD Anderson? I know it’s highly respected, but see above concerns. Does anyone have relatives with deep cancer treatment experience who can provide a perspective on MD Anderson?
  10. Sure, for y’all amateur talent evaluators, I’m sure it’s not shocking.
  11. let’s revisit this in 18-24 months.
  12. Judkins before Henderson is shocking. Unless Henderson has some sort of personality issue, that’s a mistake imo.
  13. So, Quinn at times was a very frustrating QB for Texas. He definitely didn’t live up to his recruiting ranking. However…… He’s currently projected to be the SEVENTH QB taken. This is stunning to me. I’ve flipped. I’m now declaring that Quinn will be the steal of the entire NFL draft.
  14. Well, this is the second Dallas GM this year to not get enough for a move made.
  15. Yes!
  16. 250k fans attending the draft is just about the biggest Idiocracy thing ever.
  17. Out of state kids don’t have any idea what sort of weird little world they are entering in College Station. That’s why A&M gets them. Of in-state kids, most understand the Aggie Factor, but those that live in proximity to College Station, like Katy, or have Aggie relatives, will still give the school a shot, until realizing once they get there that the people and culture are weird.
  18. Every year UT gives the “two out of three” will be gone speech. Did it for my class in 1982. And yes they graded on a curve back then too. They purposely made/make the tests very difficult to separate those that truly understand the material from those that can only memorize formula usage.
  19. It was pretty cool. Very old ruins and while a lot of the structures are rubble some of the buildings are still partially intact.
  20. Last night was the Dallas team I was used to seeing. They were contesting the puck way better, showed much more hustle, outshot them, and played much better defense in front of the net. They still gave up too many breakaway shots on goal, but Colorado is really fast, so I guess that’s expected to some extent. Great win. More importantly, great watch.
  21. Hell ya! I was a Bengals fan all the way until 1981 and Boobies were a critical part of my youth.
  22. With only 10 days and wanting to also do Crete, you may not be able to do what we did, but it worked great. We went from Paros to Crete, and that required a ferry change in Santorini. So we reserved one of the best hotel views for one night and went in to Santorini for one afternoon and back out to Crete the next day. It gave us time to see both major towns on Santorini, eat dinner on the water for sunset, and have an incredible view from our hotel room. We avoided most of the crowds this way. Worked great. We stayed in Heraklion on Crete for the sole reason that we could get both to the west side and east side of the island easily. That ended up working fine. If you have no interest in activities on the east side, I would stay in chania or somewhere on the west side, particularly if the beaches and/or major hikes are important. Greece was awesome. One of our favorites trips. edit. Accidently typed crete instead of Santorini when describing the two towns.
