    He's made an NFL roster for 3 years and has a shot at more. After never having played the position. Hardly an indictment on his TE abilities. More of an indictment on Mack and Charlie's QB roster management and ability to maximize someone's value.

    I remember Henry Shelton, but not any Melton.
  3. Wiler77
    Because it makes no sense. Even as a joke.
  4. Wiler77
    I don't get why that is a crazy stat. There are several thousand tigers in the wild. Am I missing a joke?
  5. Wiler77
    True. And I went back and looked at the stat. 97% of the players that stayed 4 years received their degree. I assume it's worded like that because there were some transfers along the way. Iverson was his first player to declare early for the NBA draft.
  6. Wiler77
    LOL. Literally every move he made, other than the multiple draft picks, free agent signings, and successful trades you cited that set up an NBA Championship and 6 straight conference finals.

    I just went and found the box score. 211 total shots taken in 45 minutes. That's one shot every 12.8 seconds. Holy shit

    1990 was also the year of LMU vs LSU. 148-141 LSU win in overtime. I used to have this game on VHS and would pop it in every now and then to watch.

    I know us Texas fans have a huge "what if" around Colt going down, but man, we've got nothing on Hoya fans. 1982 featured the errant pass to James Worthy with the Hoyas down 1 and with only something like 20 seconds left. Who knows if they make the shot, but they gift-wrapped that win for Dean's 1st NT. And BTW, Dean's 2nd and last NT was helped by Chris Webber's "time out". In 1985, it took probably the closest we're ever seen to a "perfect game" on a basketball floor by Villanova to deny Georgetown b2b titles. The fact that 1985 was Thompson's last Final Four trip is what amazes me.

    He had a hell of a 12-15 year run from the early 80's to the Iverson/Harrington teams. Always liked watching them play, although I'm not sure I particularly rooted for them. I read something this morning that said 97% of his players stayed for 4 years and graduated. Much respect.

    LOL at the current person in 1st place in her group doesn't really look like she even works out--she just has big tits.

    After googling "Bulletproof song", it turns out there is a song by that name, that also happens to be the song playing in the video above. The audio on the video isn't all that good, but the lyrics being played say "this time maybe I'll be bulletproof".

    No shit. Sub a Shepherd mix for your your lab and it's my story, too. Except he was throwing up and having explosive diarrhea at the same time. Real fun.

    I work at AMD. I have for a long time. The fortune I've left on the table makes me sick. 20-30% swings in 2 weeks was a way of life for years and years. I've certainly made out pretty well in the past 2 years, selling years of stock grants at $30, $40, $50, and earlier this week sold at $80. But about 4 years ago, when the stock was still in the $2.50 range, I was ready to pull the trigger on 20k shares in my own personal investment account. I talked myself out of it because I know our internal roadmaps and I knew about a pretty major announcement that was going to be made that I knew would make the stock jump quickly. Even though my plan was for a long-term play due to what I knew was finally going to be a successful product lineup, my conscience told me it wasn't ok. The only thing that allows me to sleep at night is the knowledge that I probably would have sold those shares when they with $10 anyway.

    What about Pedernales Falls? Is there any water there this time of year? I know you need to reserve day passes, but curious if it's even worth the trip.
  16. Wiler77
    why? edit: nevermind, i'm a dumbass
  17. Wiler77
    Did Dana confirm that?

    Not sure what the expected outcome was supposed to be. Or maybe not expected, but hopeful outcome

    Sheeeiiiiiit, between tickets, food/beer, and babysitter, it's a $100+ investment for my wife and I to see a movie in a theater. $20 is an absolute no brainer for me. I get that seeing it on a big screen is a different experience, and actually watching a movie at home without the kids awake to bother me requires me to stay up well past my bedtime, but the economics of going to see a new release at a theater doesn't work for me except for 1-2 times a year.

    Same here. Well, actually I was scheduled the 2nd week of Jan. but had a scheduling mixup with my wife. Rescheduled to March Madness. There was a scheduling snafu at the Dr. office so rescheduled for April. Office closed, so rescheduled again to first week of July. My wife was convinced the universe was telling us we needed another baby. I disagreed. Got snipped before July 4th and was back running again 10 days later. Dr. Trotter in Austin did great work.

    Had a good view of it last night in Driftwood. It helps that you are looking away from the city. I could make it out with naked eye, so finding it with binoculars was easy. Even my wife commented "ok that was cool. Thanks for making me see it." You don't have to go on a road trip to get a good view.

    LOL, sorry to get your hopes up. I just live near there. Perhaps I should say "go-to brewery". Like having a home golf course.
  23. Wiler77
    +Rep for the Twisted X glass. That's my home brewery

    Ended up going with watermelon, cucumber, tomatoes, feta, mint, and lime juice. It did not suck.

    Put the Fritos on top of the dog and them take it to the Steel Shank thread
