  1. And also does their conference championship total include those fake B12 football conference titles they put on their stadium, when they tied for the division and didn't even play for the conference championship?
  2. Leaving after it's done is the primary concern to me. I expect that people will arrive in someone staggered fashion throughout the weekend leading up to it, but since Monday is a school/workday I'm guessing a lot of folks will be trying to leave very shortly after the eclipse and get home to be ready for work/school on Tuesday. Gonna take a lot of patience to exit the area Monday evening.
  3. Thanks. We'll be out on the property camping. Didn't really have any plans to go into town. We're 100% self-contained for freshwater, wastewater, heat, cooling, etc. And we'll have plenty of guns as well, if it turns into a zombie apocalypse survival thing, with all of the Fredericksburg tourists scattering into the wilderness searching for food and water.
  4. Clarkson's Farm is great, and I enjoy James May's cooking show. But not so much "our man in ____" I just couldn't get into those. Gonna miss TG/GT for sure.
  5. Intentionally setting up and driving out Horner in the midst of his second run of domination at RBR seems... stupid. I mean, RBR can go suck it, I'd be fine if that team ejected itself from F1 and faded into the mists of racing teams long past. But it sure seems like people that actually like Red Bull, wouldn't want to dump their highly successful team principle.
  6. I actually really liked the C3s. And I bet you could rent a gold chain, just long enough to buy the C8, and then return it. Wife never has to know.
  7. I have a bunch of random stuff, including a set of white national championship highball glasses just like armybrat's upthread. But my most cherished item is an autographed football signed by Darrell Royal, Earl Campbell, Mack Brown, and Ricky Williams. My aggie father-in-law knew the equipment manager at UT back in the '98 timeframe and got them all for me. Earl signed in a massive gold paint pen, it's awesome.
  8. Awesome response in the comments:
  9. Yeah I'd heard that was coming your way. Hang in there! (No, I mean literally, hang in there and try not to slide down a mountainside...)
  10. Just rewatched Part 1 with the family, already have tickets to Part 2 on opening weekend. My body is ready.
  11. State laws govern NIL, the NCAA never can, nor can any other body that the conferences try to put together to standardize it. The states aren't ever going to bother standardizing so only a federal law could, and I doubt we ever see one.
  12. Oh, and for the past few years, Bestop has run a mail-in rebate program in the spring/early summer. Between $100-$150 off with proof of purchase. We got $150 back on ours 3 years ago. So if you end up deciding to go that route, start looking for the rebates to show up in March or April. Hopefully they'll renew the program this year.
  13. Oh I'm sure that Ferrari engineering and "strategy" will still provide the lulz.
  14. I like having both a hard top and a soft top. We usually run the hard top in DEC-FEB, and use the soft top the rest of the year. Aftermarket soft tops run from $1,000 to $2,000. Bestop makes the OEM version that brand new Jeeps ship with, and most folks (including me) recommend sticking with Bestop for aftermarket. This is the one we have, I like the sporty slant-back better than the OG squared back, but it's totally a matter of personal preference. https://www.extremeterrain.com/bestop-trek-nx-glide-soft-top-blk-twill-4dr-0717-jk.html
  15. Wi nøt trei a høliday in Sweden this yër ?
  16. Yeah I get it and that sucks. If we didn't have a "private land" option and I were staring at $1000/night reservations, I'd be really frustrated too. People, man. I hate 'em. (Not y'all of course but, ya know, OTHER people...)
  17. Since rumors broke early, and from credible sources, and were ultimately true-- I don't think it's unreasonable to believe they had more to do with the increase. I'm not sure it's normal for a luxury brand to increase by 12.6% in one day, or even 10% in one day, based solely on an earnings release from a prior quarter...
  18. Ferrari stock jumped 12.6% yesterday, that's something like $9 billion. They also had higher than expected earnings in Q4, but that's not what's drives a 12.6% jump in one day. Just... wow. https://www.investors.com/news/ferrari-bolts-on-earnings-lands-formula-1-legend-lewis-hamilton/#:~:text=Ferrari (RACE),-%24389.45 43.53 12.58&text=Ferrari stock leapt 12.6% Thursday,record high from Dec. 11.
  19. I think it's easy for modern people in our modern world to be a little jaded about occurrences like this. Humankind has built so many cool things, and can model so many cool things, and can simulate so many cool things, and can design so many cool things, that "being dark for a few minutes" might not seem like a big deal. But I try to view it the way humans hundreds or even thousands of years ago would have. This is a highly uncommon extraterrestrial, celestial event. Humans can't make it happen, it's beyond our range, scope, and power. All we can do is observe. That's a pretty powerful feeling, in my opinion. I'm excited about it. It'll be a welcome break from working for the man or arguing about foreign wars or who should start at QB (obviously Chiles should starts). It's a completely natural event so why not enjoy the show for a little bit?
  20. The "Not Formula1" thread is over there ---------> (just kidding, I love rally racing, those guys are nuts)
