  1. Last year I was able to get into Prime and get the Uverse app, which gave me their content. I don’t know if that is still supported or not anymore. The other thing I’m able to do is go directly to the channel app, like espn or whatever, and log in there and it’s asks for the Uverse login. I think between the two above I can stream everything but it’s definitely more of a hassle than just having Direct TV streaming. But we don’t stream remotely very often, and at one time the DTV streaming was glitchy. Dont know if they’ve fixed that now.
  2. He was great Saturday. But to be fair, some past criticism of him was fair. While he has a great arm, great QB play is much more than just a strong arm. McCoy looked better than Ewers early in his career, with a weaker arm. Ewers has a chance this year to become the best QB to ever step on Texas’ campus, at least until Manning next year.
  3. I’m just betting on a change given what happened with the Mavs and stars this year going to Victory+. Yes, and that would have been an option but for the Food Network, TNT and TBS missing (sports). This is an interesting idea. I assume it would work for spurs too? I don’t pay $350, I pay $240 (two tvs), up from $180 just a year ago. AT&T is just pushing price as much as they can until everyone is pushed off the service. With that $240, I also get free Max and a bunch of movie channels (legacy pricing plan). I can’t duplicate what I have, even if I wanted to, and I’m not ready to give up Astros and spurs. And I like the AT&T fiber speeds. If I did give it up, internet would be $90. YTTV would be $72 plus addons $10, ballys would be $20, max would be $15, for a total of $207, and I wouldn’t have movie channels, Astros, Spurs, one remote, one input/channel lineup. So, it cost me $40 to have Uverse with the above advantages. And I ask myself the question: “would we go out one night per month and spend $40 because we didn’t watch Astros, Spurs, movies, etc? Of course we would. So we aren’t spending any more than we would be. Plus, we aren’t poor. What’s so ironic about it all is that we don’t watch national network tv hardly at all except for the Food Network. It’s all sports. It’s nice having a sports fan wife. I recommend it.
  4. The cord cutting thread covers a lot of the comments in here. But the reason I still have Uverse at a terrible price is because I can watch spurs, Astros, Mavs, Rangers, stars and everything else, and do it on one input. If you drop uverse, the internet fee jumps from $65 to $90, taking away some of the savings of jumping to YTTV. Once the spurs and Astros change next year, we switch.
  5. The Georgia game was so bad we started talking about life after football. We dropped network tv because of commercials. If the football commercials are going to be this bad, we may just walk away from the sport.
  6. I don't have time to read all that stuff, but while scrolling, I saw two gold quotes. "Elko has proven to be a program builder. Give him time." - YES, one whole year at Duke. bawaaaaaa. "Burn it all down." - It is impossible to burn something down that was already just burned down. There's nothing but ashes left as it is. bawaaaa.
  7. I know for a fact that respected talent evaluators felt Weigman was very solid coming out of high school with real star potential. I ascribe his problems more to poor coaching than lack of talent.
  8. Less than 24 hours later I still don’t understand how Aggie can screw up yet another game. ND was mostly ass all night. Aggie has some excellent DL and S talent. They have a good QB. They should have scored more than 13, and shouldn’t have given up huge chunks of yardage late. It’s almost like the team is just out of shape.
  9. That is awesome. Mcafee is that friend who you love showing up to the party because he’s loud and obnoxious, and then about 20 minutes later you are looking for a place to hide from him because he gets on your nerves so bad.
  10. Ran across an entitled, rude, selfish prick with no self-awareness today out at the course. He had a custom golf cart and was blaring music so loud from speakers mounted in the back it could be heard hundreds of yards away. All of these jackwagons on the course seem to have similar personalities and even to some extent similar looks. Which Surly golfer did I just hear?
  11. ND is bad but Aggies have some talent on D.
  12. All of these ND penalties are starting to seem like some serious home cooking.
  13. I knew ND sucked. I couldn’t understand the top ten ranking at all.
  14. Great to see the linchpin to the 2024 class get some game time.
  15. Man Wingo is interesting.
  16. There is something special about this Bevo. Can’t quite put my finger on it but he’s got something.
  17. MBatchou of Florida, come on down.
  18. Every time I hear Silas Bolden I think of Sirius Black of Harry Potter. I don’t know why.
  19. Dude always seems to show out.
  20. Love Bert but someone needs to get him a helmet that doesn’t make him look regarded.
  21. If I understand the Cook Beats deal, it was also genius for Cook “to get” headphones for his teammates. Beats gets free advertising every time the Texas team is shown stepping off the bus. Genius move by Beats and Cook. I fully expect Texas to cut that stuff off in the future and sell headphone bus stepping off rights.
  22. There isn’t an expectation of refrigerators conveying. A lot of times people don’t want to take a fridge with them, and I’ll use the fridge as a potential deal negotiating point. Or, just tell people it conveys in the realtor notes.
  23. Not only did he bag $22m, he currently has one of the coolest Longhorn meme gifs out there.
  24. He’s a lughead.
  25. Excuse me sir. It’s called the All Coast Conference.
