  1. Past hour
  2. Caught the first two last night and was also interested to see them confirm that Arlen is a Dallas suburb. I said above that I considered Arlen to be Allen and McMaynerbury to be McKinney. It lines up well with them being fine for a decade or so and Arlen is no longer a small town exurb but full metroplex suburb. I’m happy to see it back.
  3. Didn't you hear that if illegals hadn't voted in 2024, Trump would have won Texas 95-5. It's outrageous that Texas has so many democrat congress members. Criminal.
  4. We have and he wants to go to an in state public school for that reason, unfortunately there’s only one worthwhile state school in Texas and he’s got a better chance to get into Cal and UCSB than UT. Crazy.
  5. 100% this. Your major matters. If you want to "find yourself" do that shit on your own dime. To his credit, that is why the oldest boy is doing ROTC and the Guard. He found it, did the vetting, and joined up. He's also in the biz school and knows what it's going to take. He's money-motivated and the transformation from HS to now is amazing Daughter going to a much more expensive, private school. Her grades are phenomenal, so the aid package is strong but she's also going to have to juggle school, athletics, and will probably be an RA for at least two years to cut the housing cost down. We talk often and openly about finances with the kids. Not to guilt them into anything, but explain the reality of every decision.
  6. Hopefully we can get Brooks plenty of snaps in the 3 games after tOSU.
  7. It took months for Mike to hire PRT. So I don’t expect a quick hire
  8. Gotta respect the man, he loves baseball
  9. I feel like misanthropy can be misinterpreted as cockiness. But just because a guy hates everyone doesn't mean he doesn't hate himself too. Maybe every time Sydney lashes out, its a cry for help.
  10. What he lacks in self confidence he makes up for in self awareness.
  11. TIL I learned that I'm now ~5 years older than Flaco was when the Texas Tornadoes were formed. dammit.
  12. I see more Gundy in it, even if Gundy is usually has less energy when talking down his team. But yeah, Dillingham is the right attitude for a Big 12 coach who wants to win consistently. I think ASU really got a good one in him, and he'll probably stick around no matter how much success he has.
  13. I didn't realize this until living in SA and South Texas but you're right.
  14. Abbott is playing games with America's democracy. It's a very bad path that we could go down if Texas, CA, NY, etc start fully rigging the districts to produce a result. Yes this has always happened to some extent but it was kept in check by the courts to stay somewhat reasonable. We could very well see a scenario where these states change their districts but then Trump physically denies the CA/NY Dems from taking their congressional seats in early '27 because he will call them fake congressmen. He will definitely threaten to do so.
  15. “At least they can polish the fenders…”
  16. Was it booze related? Bobby said something about these guys “needing to take care of their bodies”.
  17. More Chris Gilbert Home visit. Wish I knew how to make the pic larger.
  18. G650

  19. Yeah, even with his relative struggles against Oklahoma, Mack was 7-9 in those games.
  20. Great venue. Great downtown area. Great weather. The product on the field is almost a non-factor.
  21. Maybe his brain is still damaged from that physical annihilation last November.
  22. It's called Vanaprastha in the Vedic tradition, leaving behind the constant striving and going "into the woods" to get deeper. There too you will find cheese and kolaches.
