    I'm stating the obvious, and I know it won't happen, but aggy losing tonight would be pretty choice.

    As lulzy as that would be, it wouldn't be conducive to maximum rollercoaster momentum.

    I know, but as a native Houstonian, I recall a few trips to Astroworld where the Texas Cyclone was DOA. 

     

    Plus, the rollercoaster thing is just as great when it happens within the confines of the season opener itself---from the highs of pimp cane to the wheels coming off with a last minute UCLA victory last year. 

     

    /but as a Longhorn with self-awareness, I know the recent pain of losing a season opener with a new coach.  I'm just wishing that agony on aggy.

  2. Reviving this thread for Labor Day weekend.  Cooking for 30 or so for dinner on Saturday night.  Driving down to central Texas on Friday with WSM and PBC on a hitch carrier.  Unloading and starting the fire on on the WSM to cook a brisket and pork shoulder overnight.  Cooking three racks of baby backs and a chicken the next morning.  Sausage goes on last.  My first time using Stubbs briquettes and first time transporting the cookers.  Wish me luck.

    If someone asks Herman about it in the postgame presser he’s going to go apeshit on them and it’ll be glorious.

    That is the most uninteresting story about a $600 trip to a strip club I have read.

    I finally got some local channels from DirecTV Now, but they're all from Paducah, Kentucky, which is strange because I'm located in East Texas.

    The upside is that when that soccer team was trapped in that cave in Thailand, there was no shortage of expert commentary on being trapped in caves.  Most seemed to survive on the food and liquor they left behind the last time they were trapped in a cave

    I'm in east Texas, and the only local I get on Vue is CBS.  But the streaming quality is laggy as hell.  OTA is way better. Everything else on Vue streams fine.  So I assume it's on the local CBS affiliate's end.

    If I run this into that Magic and dime the amp, will I sound like Neil?

    I'm not sure if you need any pedals to sound like Neil with the Magic.  More often than not, I run it with a telecaster into the Bright channel, with the Bright on 5, the Normal on about 9, and the Tone around 8.  After 3 on the Volume knob of the channel you're using, it's very distorted and compressed.  Running the volume up just makes it more compressed.

     

    This is the video that sold me on it.  The amp builder is playing guitar.  He runs through Cinnamon Girl when he switches to the LP about half way through.  Only difference between mine and the one in the video is a Weber 12A125 in mine and a Celestion Blue in the video.

  6. A little impromptu family photo.  Some have been posted before, but this is what I have whittled it down to over the last thirty years.  No fancy music room since the kids were born.

  7. Was in one of those fraternaties back in the day.  Still keep in touch regularly with one other guy.  But he remains a good friend and stuff.  So there's that.  The rest of it was fun.  Stuff.

    There is something satisfying about watching that blue line fill in on a 17:38 Franklin’s Tower!

    Yes, it is.  What's equally as satisfying is the little valleys before that Franklin's Tower peak and thereafter.  Gots to have that tension before the release, and so forth. :) 

    Definitely want to listen to that show again soon.  The list looks great.

  9. Read about this on TOS and finally got around to watching it tonight on Hulu.  I was pretty pleased.  I grew up playing tennis as a kid in the era of Conners, McEnroe, et al., and this movie really took me back.  Lots of detail.  Felt like the old matches.  Last match was about half an hour in the movie, which seemed like it lasted forever like those matches did.

    Not disappointed in the least, and this had great potential for disappointment (I suspected).

    Been a few years since I've been to a game in Austin.  Anybody know what the best option as far as parking is?  We don't mind walking a little bit from either west or north campus.  Or maybe parking somewhere far and taking an uber to campus?

    Been a few years for us as well, but there's a parking garage on 17th and Colorado that runs about $20.  Not a bad walk to the stadium, but just far enough so that you can exit onto Colorado after the game and drive away from the traffic pretty easily.

    Been in 13 for 7 seasons. It’s a lot of fun. Lots of normal ass people. 

    I ended up snagging two in Section 14, Row 20 when Seatgeek had a coupon that saved me $60 or so.
