I'm kind of surprised Wagner isn't ranked in 5A. They're 9-1 with the only loss to Judson, 35-28. They've outscored their opponents this year 609-85.

To be fair, nobody in the league s playing any defense so far this year. The scoring is crazy.

A 42 club was started in Lampasas. They're going to meet weekly on Thursdays starting around 6:30pm. It'll be at the Hwy 281 Café & Dance Hall. It's the old AmVet building behind Dairy Queen.

hahaha Lebron with 2 missed FTs and a missed jumper to lose it. Good Game. Thanks.

I have no idea if that link up there works. My phone is freaking out with poor LTE reception. And the timeout to edit a post is stupidly short. Trying again:

A link to a presentation with this project on it was found and posted on SSP, then quickly removed from the source. This was captured, though: http://i64.tinypic.com/ok9x6a.jpg The thinking is that it's the half block parking lot at 7th & San Jacinto.

Spencer just said that some of the computers are showing 11 more inches from now till Sunday in the Hill Country/Llano area.

@llanoflash Text it to your email, then save the file. Then upload it to youtube.

What's with all this timid BS?

There are always going to be empty spaces in the student sections unless we oversell tickets. Everyone stands and just crams down as close as they can. There could be as many bodies as there are seats, and there will still be open spaces of bleachers. I have no idea how you fix that.

Was The Eyes just a tad slower today?

They did a much better job getting the band onto the field and into their pregame show. No long pauses that ruin the atmosphere. So, I must have been onto something when CDC saw my tweet, although a bunch of sunshine pumpers shat on me. Also liked having the band mic'd up.

I've stayed out of this because I've been fighting this stupid judge and his BS for years. But I have a life and could not keep up with the fight. It's complete crap. They have nothing other than to cry racism. And they knew that would work in Austin. It's pretty pathetic. And Menchaca is NOT Spanish. It is Basque. It was originally spelled Mentxaka. Let's just rename it that. So to say Manchac (French) is wrong, but Menchaca (Spanish?) is right, is stupid. The Basque region lies between both countries. There are influences from both. Was it named after an Indian word? Was it named with French influence from settlers traveling from Louisiana? Yes, that happened. New Orleans to Galveston, and there are newspaper ads for wagon rides into Central Texas with a stop in Manchaca. Some say it can mean "rear entry" or somesuch. If you're coming up from the south, it's kind of like the backdoor to Austin. There was a 1700s fort in Louisiana with the name Manchac. There are many possibilities. That's the point. People like RollLeft say those arguments are all weak. So is the case for Menchaca! It's all based on lore, not fact. When both sides have relatively weak arguments, just leave it alone. Go with local history. They did this same BS when they changed Manchaca Elementary (named after the community) to Menchaca Elementary. It was a PC move back then, and this is just the next step. The city sent letters to the businesses along Manchaca Rd seeking support or opposition. Of the responses they got back, people were overwhelmingly against the change. City council didn't care. Why bother asking if you're just going to ignore your constituents anyway? It's going to be really funny when Menchaca Road intersects with Old Manchaca Road, switches to Manchaca Road further south outside the city, ends in Mancahca, TX which has Manchaca Springs and Menchaca Elementary. Seems very Austin.

Good to know. I'd maybe split one with my friend, but you're right about valuable stomach space.

Did anyone try the funnel cake bacon queso burger last year? Where exactly is it located? I could tell from some Youtube videos that it's in the Midway, but I'm trying to narrow it down in case I want to try it.

I've never played this way. I think I've heard someone mention something similar to this. In tournaments, there's no forced bid. I played in Hallettsville this weekend. On Saturday, I drew another perfect hand. That's my 2nd in less than 6 months. Crazy. This time it was all of the treys. I won the bid for 84 and led the 3/6. Ha. Saturday had 73 teams. I played with the newly-famous 9 year old girl that's played State twice. It's crazy how you can actually watch her getting better with every game. She's going to be amazing after some more seasoning. She already plays backwards, knows when to throw count to set, holds the right dominoes to set opponents in an 84 bid, etc. She needs work on bidding more aggressively. Once she gets that down...watch out! We went 2-3 Friday night. Two losses were 7-6. We had a positive mark differential on the night. On Saturday, we went 2-3 in the morning with a -1 differential. Got in the championship bracket where it's best 2 of 3 each round. We were late returning from lunch and got docked our first game of Round 1. I was upset for her, but didn't let her know. She'd freeze up. We won the first game we played, then were down 6-4 in the 2nd game. She says, "it's ok we still have the 3rd game if we lose." I had to explain that we forfeited the first game, and this was do-or-die right now. That next hand, the bid came around to her and she overbids a 31 with a 32. Confidently. We win that and win the next 2 hands to take the match. That was so awesome to witness. We lost in the 2nd round in 2 games to two older, very good players from East Texas. lost the first game 8-5 because I went 84 down 6-5. Had 5 trumps, the double ace and a naked 0/6. I felt we wouldn't win the game, so I took the chance. Opponent held the 6/5 till the end. My partner held the 6/4, but it wasn't enough. We lost the 2nd game going away. Great time!

I've gained a bit of weight back the last 3 days. Last Friday I was about 325. Today I'm 327.6. I broke down some at the TCU game and again Sunday night. At the game, I had a Stubb's BBQ sandwich (with bun and sauce). After the game I went to Maudie's and got 3 cheese enchiladas and ate a bunch of chips and some of those chicken flautas. Sunday night I went to HEB. I made a Keto casserole, but also had 2 Butterfinger cups (like Reese's cups) and a pint of Halo Top ice cream. I finished off the casserole Monday night. I started water fasting again Tuesday morning. I'm trying a 24 hour soft dry fast today to see how it goes. I haven't had anything to drink since 8am. I did shower & brush my teeth, thus the soft fast. On those carb days this weekend, I gained about a pound a day. Today, 24 hours into my water fast, I gained .2 - as always.

Some asshole near me is so anti-Ehlinger, that he spent the 2nd half loudly cheering for him to get hurt or throw a Pick 6. He was cheering for TCU to tackle us and to score on offense. He said if we lost, we could bench Sam. He was also arguing with his buddy that the Colin Johnson TD was just a bad throw prayer that was answered, and that Texas didn't deserve to win the game. WTF is wrong with some of our fans?
