  1. I can also see a couple of Raiders "accidentally" plowing Johnny boy over on a sideline run or catch, Mackovic style.
  2. Well if he's scheduled to leave on Southwest, they have no choice, baggage is staying put.
  3. I thought what happened in Vegas stays in Vegas?
  4. Semi-Quickie Version (maybe more in detail tomorrow): Today will be crisper (for once!) and sunny, a brief respite after the weekend's hot soup (about 87° avg. today). Enjoy it. Tomorrow - humidity returns, soupy and warmer again (near 90°). Decent chance of brief shower or two towards nighttime. Wed/Thurs - Humid and warm to start Wed., then rain moves in afternoon. Could be some heavy rain later Wed. into Thurs. morning. Fri - rain moves out, pt. cloudy. Daytime temps for the latter week high 80's, except if/when rain cools things down. In case anyone's asking, the weekend looks very good - clear and really nice, temps don't leave the 70's - both days. Nicest weekend we'll have had since at least last April. So we have another cool front coming in on the heels of another storm Wed. But we also have moisture running up from Hurricane Pamela, which looks to be heading straight for Texas (not to Arizona as is often the case. The leftover moisture should react with the front, stirring up a lot of rain somewhere in Texas. Over us? That's what I'll have to wait on for at least another day, but chances are good most of Texas gets something. Check back in 24.
  5. Bit of an Update: Yeah, it's gonna rain overnight. A few days ago, this little front was supposed to be severe in N. Texas but likely just fizzle out (stop me when you've heard this before) in our southern portion. Last day or so of course that's changed, and we're now likely to get a frontal squall come through between 11 p.m and 3 or so. Should be in and out of here in one swoop, and a rather fast mover at that. But not a long event in one area - maybe 45 mins. The worst of it will be Waco north, where tornadoes and severe weather are more likely (not a given), but definitely chances are worse. The worst of it will be up through OK and KS. Nevertheless there could be areas of potent storms/hail/strong winds in some cells around here. Maybe a severe TS warning in an isolated spot or two, but for most of us this is a frontal sweep with storms that could have heavy if brief rain. Probably some good booms too. But will be gone by wake-up time. That said, we should enjoy a fairly cool day (82°ish) on Monday, but it's not going to last. Humidity sets back in, then we have an interesting thing going on during the week. A pacific hurricane will rain out and move up, interacting with a stronger cold front Tues-Wed. That'll bring a good bit of rain. More on that tomorrow.
  6. There actually have been some feeble attempts over the years to change up, especially when they put on the complete upper deck. I remember there was a big push to alternate ends especially because of the tunnel, and they even tried to sell respective tickets to those ends. But I think so many people switched off or bought secondhand tickets to sit on the traditional sides that it was mixed at best. Eventually as far as I can tell they just gave up andTexas still has the north side of the cotton bowl. I also remember a weak movement to try to make East-West stands, with the dividing lines on the end zone stands. That never worked either. I think people just like the way it's been forever.
  7. Got damn still can't sleep from that VY sweep yesterday around the OU right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. Highly techinical play analysis follows: 1) Alabama was very inconsistent and often sucked on offense. 2) Alabama completely sucked on defense. $9.95
  9. Someone help me out.. there used to be a BBQ place on Westgate just off 290 frontage road, where the Thai Buffet or some such is now, up until the early 90's I think. Their catering was pretty good. As I remember they were a Pok-e-jo's or something that purposely sounded like it. Anyone remember? Thx.
  10. Yeah, but when we say "we're probably gonna suck" we do. Maybe we should predict ties from now on.
  11. Saban's gonna have a coronary and then go out and murder 25 players.
  12. A win here would surely get them into the Liberty Bowl! (But I do have to admit, they're playing a very strong game right now)
  13. Ooh yeah, thanks for the correction. Maybe driving through Waco got him so agitated he shot up luby's in Killeen. Yeah twin peaks is a good call, maybe that should be the name of their field.
  14. You mailed the OP at halftime, didn't you?
  15. Appreciate it, it was between him and the guy that shot up the Luby's. Waco's finest.
  16. I watched the Baylor ground game today just slam through a pretty good West Virginia defense. If their passing attack remains even half as good as it was today they'll be next to impossible to stop, especially with our defense. Playing them in Koresh Memorial Stadium also helps them. I think that'll be our toughest game from this point out.
  17. Good to see this thread back for the 18th time in 20 years. We even used it a lot with Mack (going back to Horn Fans days). I'd say we've had about a 30% success rate. Who doesn't hope we win out? But we're not "destined" to any more than Tom Herman was destined to be a nice guy or Charlie Strong destined to be a coaching genius. I give it about a 20% chance.
