That is very strange. I have known folks who went undergrad at one school and then Grad or Whatever Professional Degree at another and have more of an affiliation or affection with the later. Even a few who went to aggy for undergrad and UT for Grad or Med/Pharmacy/ Law School. You would never know they were aggy if they didn't tell you or see their undergrad diploma on the wall. Any self respecting person who went to UT for both undergrad and grad school would need to have their heads examined if they joined the cult of aggy, IMO. I don't care if they were trying to impress and keep a lady happy if she is aggy. I'd go to a game with her, but never in the world would I wear aggy shit to make myself feel like I'm part of the cult for one day.
Exactly. I wear burnt orange 90% of the time as a TexasEx and Texas resident of 30 years. Wear bright orange when it’s appropriate (OSU playing anyone but Texas) since I am an alumni. Fuck OU and anyone that roots for the Sooners if they graduated from another school. Same for Aggy. -
My wife's boss is an Oklahoma State grad for both his Bachelors and Masters degrees, but wears nothing but OU clothes/hats/etc... He's explained how it works, but I cannot for the life of me understand his logic at all behind his loyalty (or lack there of).
Your wife’s boss is an idiot. I grew up in the state, got my undergrad from OSU before coming to The University for my MS. No self-respecting OSU grad would be caught dead in Crimson and cream. -

Met with his "staff"....
While my knowledge of Texas Legislature rules is not comprehensive, I believe they can’t file shit in a special session unless Abbot puts it on the session call agenda prior to starting the session. So regardless of anything else, they can’t file it in the current session, and Abbott can shut this down in any subsequent special session until the 2023 regular Legislature. -

SWA had a rough week. With their computer issues Monday/Tuesday they has a ton of displaced passengers. My wife was trying to get home from OKC to AUS. The only reason she didn’t spend the night at HOU sleeping in the airport Tuesday night is because I called her and told her NOT to get on her flight that was delayed past her connection. Then it took two days to get her home.

I have a buddy who can't fit his customized half ton truck in the garage because it's too short. He had to hire someone to extend the garage at the expense of the mudroom. Standard is too small.
Also be aware of your water heater; had another buddy try to do this but couldn't extend because his water heater was there. Great example of where going tankless would have helped as well.
Previous owner built a steel workbench and shelves in my garage. If I want an F-150 i will have to rip them out to get in the bay. Add the length now. -

I’m a SWA fanboy. A-list plus, companion pass, fly into alternative airports to stay on SWA. Today their system outage stranded my wife at OKC and she can’t get home until Thursday. And the only reason she’s at my in-laws house in OKC instead of stranded in Houston without a connection tonight is me calling her and telling her not to get on a plane. Rethinking my position.

Pretty good video. Trying to sell you on his $500 boots, but well done and he know what he’s talking about.

I mean is she worse than our local politicians. At least she is honest about being a cam whore while Adler, et al just pretend ?
That’s the key, though. Her proponents don’t know her history. I talked to some R movers and shakers yesterday who think she’s the future of the party in Travis County. Given their position in the culture wars, they would run the other way if they knew what this board knows. -
T-Mo language acts like it will be ongoing. They mention that after the first year they may move YTTV to your T-Mo bill to continue get the discount. This was in response to the customer annoyance at the prospect of having to do this process again in a year.
YTTV language reads like it's just for a year.
Reads to me that T-Mo and YTTV struck a deal for 1 year, but T-Mo intends to keep doing it...we'll see if that changes in a year.
Although depending on the promotion, various T-Mo plans currently gives away free Hulu (legacy Sprint program), Netflix, Amazon Prime (older but active promotion), and now YTTV discount to replace their short lived streaming product. I imagine some of this will get consolidated at they continue the merger process.
The answer is likely buried in this thread, but is LHN available on YTTV? -
