  1. Yup I'm fine with heat. But absolutely loathe the cold. Lake trash for life.
  2. It's pure fan fic so of course it plays well with the ags. That's their jam.
  3. The ags were as happy as anyone else to dump the little sisters of the SWC and move to the B12. They were desperately trying to move to the SEC at that time but couldn't without Texas. Their revisionist history that it was mean old Texas that killed the SWC is... baffling. The modern economics of televised college football is what killed the SWC, and most certainly would have killed the B8 as well if the 4 SWC schools hadn't joined them to form the B12. As for the B12, Texas didn't ruin it, Texas saved it. In the 2010 realignment it was Nebraska and Colorado departures that weakened it, but Texas propped it up and saved it by agreeing to equal revenue sharing and by pushing the media partners for better deals. In the realignment of 2011 it was the ags and Mizzou departure that weakened it, but again Texas propped it up. The proof is in the pudding, if Texas had REALLY wanted to leave, Texas easily could have. All options were open in 2011-- PAC, B1G, or SEC. Just as all options were open in 2021. It wasn't until the media contracts got so incredibly lopsided in favor of the B1G and the SEC that Texas knew it couldn't keep up by staying in the B12, that any decision to move was made. And geographically, the SEC made the most sense, plus it's the only place OU was welcome, and so the ultimate outcome was obvious. Plenty of us have been saying since 2011 that Texas was eventually going to have to join the SEC. Anyway, TL;DR-- texags posters are dumb They're going to be so disappointed when they find that the SEC is just an athletics affiliation and that Texas joining isn't going to change much of anything, other than scheduling among 16 rather than 14 schools. Oh, well, and the fact that they'll have to return to actually playing us every year and losing their accustomed 2/3 of the time.
  4. I did Scout Camp at Lost Pines for 3 years, back then only really wealthy troops considered leaving the district for merit badge camp. High Adventure camps were different, but just for merit badge camps, it was Lost Pines or maybe Tahauya. My son's troop, on the other hand, has done the mountains in Colorado and New Mexico the past two years to miss out on the heat and misery. Lucky bastages. This year they're doing Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, in fact they're there right now. It's definitely going to be warmer and way more humid, but still nothing like the inferno that is Bastrop in the summer.
  5. I haven't worn pants since March 2020.

    Pizza

    Ha! Sounds like many of my experiences with the stoned-to-the-bejeezus crew at Conan's, yet I still love that place. And yeah I meant Mesa/Spicewood Springs. I had good experiences with that one.
  8. Joke's on you-- the fake train is as real-built as it's ever gonna be, with your real money.

    Pizza

    I used to get pizza from the Brooklyn Pie Co. location on Far West and thought it was pretty good.
  10. There are already about ten threads for that but I'm sure our resident Chicken Littles and Ledge Jumpers will show up soon and reassure us of just how much our lives suck.
  11. Top 3 then. Solved.
  12. Well there you have it. Guess the meme won't be expiring this year.
  13. Ooof. I've almost clipped it a few times at Garner as well. How's the Frio moving upstream from the dance pavilion?
  14. Wow, congrats to Augustus, aggie08, and bizzle if he's still around. This year's ags look different to me. I wouldn't be shocked to see them win the whole thing. As someone said above, they have a deep lineup and just enough pitching. Now I'm off to use my "ags haven't finished top 4 in any major sport since Prohibition" meme while I still can!
  15. JFC Ferrari. Terrible terrible weekend. Happy for Fred anyway, and Ricciardo probably woulda finished a couple of places higher without the questionable 5s penalty runoff.
  16. That's their failure, not yours. You shouldn't have to ask, they should be asking you. Otherwise, looks great.
  17. We'll know Old Austin is truly dead when the Chili's at 45th and Lamar closes. At that point, just shut the city down.
  18. Yeah I really liked it as well. Not an every week kind of place for us but we went as often as we could.
  19. She looks good, I love that color combination.
  20. Yuki does himself no favors by acting like a total psycho on the radio. I'd be extremely concerned about his maturity as well.
  21. I dig it.
  22. I sure hope you all checked in as safe from today's Rainpocalypse in Austin!
