  1. 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.
  2. It's Dan somebody.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. I'm here to see SC misery, but I predict Notre Dame will keep SC in the game.
  6. is this the easiest call ever, to take the over? 66 I think.
  7. 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.
  8. 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?
  9. 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?
  10. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Hey, is that black chick standing next to Chris Simms pregnant? Either that or that color makes her look a bit thick.
  14. ..and just like that 17-0 pending extra point.
  15. couple of good plays from 17-0.
  16. Arizona is exposing USC...at some point SC may wake up but not soon enough I think.
  17. Baylor about to make this a game? 4th and one.
  18. dang! What a catch! I think it's pretty cool to wear shirt honoring Leach.
  19. Morton? Craig's grandson?
  20. We all know that the prevent defense is garbage. Are there any coaches out there who feel the same? Iow, doesn't a coach with a brain tell PK, hey just run regular defense out there? Pretend the score is tied.
  21. we didn't deserve to win with the sloppy tackling. I put it all on Pete.
  22. it would help to know if Sanders is playing or not. My neighbor and I coined the this "The year of Sanders" - referencing Deion, his family, and our Sanders. We're not winning by 31. We're not winning by 21....We're winning by 8. Don't know how that came to me but it did. Everybody is going high so I will go low. Texas 24 to OU 16. Texas rushing yards 222. Lots of turnovers in this game, as usual. A more fun tie-breaker would be number of turnovers for both teams combined.
  23. After yesterday, I'm pretty convinced. This team has heart, desire, and they don't let up. At this point, there are only about three things that can stop us from at least making it to the Big12 championship game; injuries, officials, and bad luck. Really concerned about Sanders injury. If he can be back to play the rest of the year other than OU, I will be very pleased. If everybody else in the top 10 loses, we can lose one, win the Big12 game and still be in the playoffs, imo.
  24. Texas 20 OU 13 186 yards rushing
  25. one more FG attempt for Auburn?
