  1. Coaches' poll has always been a legitimate championship, regardless of whether it was awarded before or after the bowls. Same for the AP.
  2. I've stuck with USAA for 25 years because their service was excellent. I've recently heard their service is suffering, I haven't had any claims in over two years so I couldn't tell you, but one things for sure is the prices just keep skyrocketing. From reading this thread, sounds like I need to look into GEICO and Progressive... It's currently 3 cars, about to be another one with a new 16yo driver, one homestead, one rental house. There's also an RV and a boat but USAA already farms out those to Progressive anyway.
  3. And why not-- another pic from PINS when my buddy with a 1972 Winnebago joined us. I have no idea why the picture quality is so bad on this one. Looks like it was taken in 1975 rather than 2012 or whatever.
  4. I've posted some pics of this before, either here or the other place, but here's a pic of the Airstream out on PINS, probably about a decade ago. Beach was a lot cleaner last week, maybe the cleanest I've ever seen it.
  5. Same thing here. Back in 2007 I saw a picture of someone camping in an Airstream directly on PINS. We were about to have our first kid, and we'd been tent-camping for years, but I figured there might be a better way. I've always loved vintagey stuff and mid-century-modern stuff and was fixated on vintage campers. There are lots of cool Shastas and other white-box canned hams, but my eye was always drawn to the Airstream. So I did a little research, convinced my wife using that picture of the Airstream, and in June of 2008, drove to Birmingham, AL to pick up my hard luck but survivor 1963 Airstream Overlander. I restored it, then we outgrew it, but the idea is still alive and we still go as often as we can. Anyway, that picture above is about 4.8 miles down the beach. It wasn't all that busy and we had probably close to a quarter mile all to ourselves. We hung out there for a few days, then we popped off the top and the doors of the Jeep and took it another 15 miles down one afternoon and let the kids look for shells. They drove most of it, the 15yo with a learner's permit was in heaven.
  6. Ell O fucking Ell. "We stole him right out from under their noses. Kirby's all about culture. He's coming here because he is one of us!" One, week, later... He's not one of us. He only visited once. He was probably going to go somewhere else anyway.
  7. Graham Norton is the tits. That's a fun show to watch.
  8. Ha! John Wick as a metahuman. Might not have been a bad movie if it were sold that way! Agreed. Cavill's Superman in the Snyder cut of JL was so much better as a character, than in all of the other movies. He was finally who I'd wanted him to be, all along. Or at least a lot closer.
  9. I didn't hate the Snyderverse and I actually thought the Snyder cut of Justice League turned it into a solid, coherent, entertaining movie. It just wasn't very FUN. And MoS and BvS weren't very fun. Superman 1978 was fun. Batman 1989 was fun. And this new Superman movie is fun. I'm really excited to see what Gunn and the DC crew can do with a new DCU. I want to see Batman in this world, with Gunn's vision. I already love what I've seen of Green Lantern and Mr. Terrific. I want to see where else he can take us.
  10. PINS last week
  11. By far my favorite Coen Bros. movie.
  12. Still have yet to break 100 at my house in NW Travis. If the below holds true, it won't have broken 100 so far this entire year, all the way into August. I can't recall that ever happening before.
  13. Might be true, but as I vaguely recall Mackovic's offset language included media gigs. He got paid some paltry sum from ESPN for a hot minute, and we got to pay him slightly less.
  14. Many coaching contracts are written such that the buyout is offset by whatever amount the former coach earns doing another job. But not aggie contracts, no sir. They are 100% guar-an-teed!
  15. Sweetwater Oyster Bar in Cedar Park has an 11-6 happy hour Mon -Sat, with $1 gulf oysters and $3 east coast oysters. Limit is 1 dozen per person on the gulf oysters. https://sweetwateroysterbar.com/
  16. FAFO. If you think Russia is so grand, put your money where your mouth is and move there. This guy's a hero and should be commended. Everyone who agrees with him should follow his lead and do the same.
  17. Hobbits like to get high on weed, it's the orcs that love their vodka.
  18. Mr. Terrific was great. And I loved the quick glimpse we caught of the exterior of the Justice Gang's Hall of Justice.
  19. Anyway I'm good with trailers. I like to know what's coming and I like to see the previews in full sound and glory on the big screen. I don't like pre-movie commercials, straight up product advertisements. And none of the Alamo Drafthouse locations I've ever been to, have shown those (aside from promoting their own theaters/merch that is).
  20. Yeah my 15yo son had similar issues, until he got his first girlfriend right at the end of the schoolyear. Now he's gaming a lot less and he's become a workout fiend (dad, I actually have ABS, check this out!). Also, he now showers daily and brushes his teeth at least 3x per day! Just a maturity issue for him, and he's finally coming around.
  21. Wow the ags are jumping right into decommit season a little earlier than normal this year.
  22. In a strange coincidence, there was also a Mr. Gatti's there at Rockwood and Anderson Lane.
  23. Reed's not as much of a problem as their mysterious o-line which should be good but is continuously shitty.
  24. My now-senior wouldn't even talk to us about any type of major or any potential college until January or February. She was paralyzed with fear because she had no clue what she might want to do, and couldn't imagine herself in a college environment and so wouldn't allow herself to even think about it. We finally just took her on a couple of campus visits and that's when she could finally see herself on a campus as a college student, and it has opened her up to some possibilities. Tough part for me is, she's going to be auto-admit to UT but for various reasons she doesn't really want to go to there. So I find myself on this thread looking at other options.
