  1. ...and Brando is cheering the runner down the field!
  2. defense will have to win the game. Too bad we can't call a decent short pass on 3rd and 3.
  3. well, we finally get to see the backup now.
  4. things were looking pretty decent until that half inning. 5 innings left to make up another deficit.
  5. so far so good for the Rangers. Doesn't matter a whole lot, but the Rangers pitcher has about 15 pitches less than the Astros' starter as he leaves.
  6. The question will be can I incorporate the USA Rail Pass into seeing the remainder of the 50 states that I have not seen? If it can work in the span of 2 summers, that would be amazing, and worth the trouble. I arrive in San Antonio on May 26. I will try to finish off the states I have not seen in the northeast part of the country first. The new teaching job should start around August 1, so plenty of time to get the 30 day pass completed between the end of May and August 1.
  7. Mack ties somebody at 280 wins. Mack would be oldest coach to make CFP, correct?
  8. In the words of the late, great Billy Packer. "This game is ovah!"
  9. Hell no. NBC, I looked it up and it's Dan Hicks. Give him props though, he married Hannah Storm. Been married as long as I have, since 1994.
  10. Collinsworth doesn't sound like his dad. He sounds like that extremely boring NBC golf announcer, can't place his name. He's the guy who was so boring he made Johnny Miller sound exciting. Garrett sounds like he's delivery a eulogy on the latest Dallas Cowboys loss, and he's happy to tell you how many ways the Cowboys lost the game.
  11. this is why we can't have nice things. We are not allowed to root for one of the most despised programs in our history, Notre Dame, just because we see a bunch of OU and Tech alums on the other side. I predict a USC victory.
  12. I'm here to see SC misery, but I predict Notre Dame will keep SC in the game.
  13. is this the easiest call ever, to take the over? 66 I think.
  14. new to the travel bug, outside of my three times a year travel to Alaska and back to Texas. After teaching six years in the Alaska bush and saving money for retirement like nobody's business, I have finally figured out what I plan to do next. All of the flying on little planes in rural Alaska has made me realize I am pretty good at roughing it. Coached cross-country this year and the middle school boys won district! Go wolves! I made the boys and girls yell at the end of every practice and it was loads of fun. We traveled to two villages and the big town. I look pretty old and at one of the villages the host principal looked at me and asked if I brought an air mattress and I said "nope, it's only one night, don't need it". He couldn't believe it, but I did just fine with only a sleeping bag on a hard classroom floor. I'm the same guy that is cheap enough to refuse to pay for a night in a motel in the summer in Anchorage. This summer I was on my way up here to my local village, and chose to rent a car instead of getting a night in a motel. I did the usual grocery shopping like a crazy man during the day and spent the night in a grocery store parking lot in the rent-a-car. Worked like a charm with the exception of a street sweeper that woke me up at about 2:00 a.m. So, I am going to travel in the roughest way possible the Amtrak. Found a website, a couple that are frequent Amtrak riders. My first summer I will travel without the wife, because she is a stick in the mud, and I plan to find the lay of the land without her the first year. Will buy the USA Rail pass, which is good for 30 days. 10 segments. Regular price is $500, and the travel couple claim it goes on sale about once or twice a year. Best thing of all is Amtrak allows unlimited food to be brought onto the train. They had a funny story the other day about some industrious Boy Scouts getting a pizza ordered to the train station as they were traveling. The USA Rail pass is only for coach. Anybody have any experience with the Amtrak Guest Rewards® Preferred Mastercard? The travel couple claim they recently bought roomettes for their entire year. They say they paid retail price for 2 roomettes and got 5 roomettes free. I finally cashed in on my frequent Alaska points this year, and got the new credit card with 62,000 points. I immediately bought my trips for the year with the points and am still building points. I can use the remainder of my Alaska points to fly to a good starting point for a train trip, like Chicago. If this works like I hope, the summer of 24 will help me get closer to my 50 states goal. I want to "save the best for last" by making North Dakota my last state to visit. I won't make it in 24, but maybe 25. I just need to make sure I stay out of North Dakota before then. Should be pretty easily accomplished.
  15. I feel like I just came out of a coma, I think. Are you telling me the Rangers, coached by one of the best managers in baseball, has a chance to make all of us remember 2011 again, and then finally put that post-season nightmare to bed?
  16. So, Tim Beck's CC team? Isn't he one of the yahoos we hated as OC, who couldn't get anything going for us at all?
  17. we're losing one more, and OU is losing one more, maybe 2.

    3rd and 9

    Somebody already mentioned this I guess, but it was the fake injury that stopped our momentum. Why do we let stuff like that affect us, but we do.
  19. The only problem with the idea of us going unbeaten the rest of the way is the Big 12 refs, and possibly injuries. The Big12 refs will know that we have to win every game, so they will push it, no doubt. The reality is we need to win every game by two TDs, so we can eliminate the refs from the equation.
