  1. We can rebuild him ... We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster.
  2. Manboob hellraiser strikes again. My eyes!
  3. Supposedly it had something to do with their satellite being in line with Earth and the sun - at least so says some football account my 17 yo follows. WTF?
  4. Jesus fuck. Which one of y'all let the Gimp out of his cage again?
  5. LMAO I just looked on Tickpick and the cheapest single right now, 11:30 into the game, is $371.
  6. Gabriel: "If I duck down real low-like, maybe they'll forget I was here".
  7. I've never heard of that. Am I the only one? What would the bench do that would draw a flag and not a warning?
  8. Ball didn't come out til it hit his knee, which was already on the ground. Not a fumble.
  9. Oh BTW, this just in (yesterday) Vowles is a complete fucking dipshit. Fuck that guy.
  10. $500 total, or $500 per ticket seat donation?
  11. Yeah forget it. This is stupid. It's hardly any better than when I went to bed. I can pay this, but I just can't justify this kinda price, even for the best regular season game in any sport. I guess if I'm gonna pay anything near a reasonable price for TX-ou, it'll be by buying season tickets again and selling off the home games. PITA, but this is the only game that it really bothers me to miss. But then again isn't there some UT rule now about selling off tickets?
  12. I'm thinking about just heading up in the a.m. and taking my chances around gametime. Any ideas how much prices typically drop right before the game and just after kickoff?
  13. Any of y'all ever hear the V10 demo car they ran at COTA a couple of years ago? When that thing fired up in the garage, people literally came running to see what it was - OR came running because they knew what it was and didn't wanna miss it. No such reaction to any of the other cars. It's like when they ran Fernando's old Renault. It was all the announcers and fans could talk about all weekend. F1 is really missing a big opportunity. They can still be 'green' and sustainable (at least as sustainable as they are now), be a research testbed, and have cars that get people's hearts racing just by hearing them from a mile away.
  14. So my kid and I were talking about this yesterday. I could be wrong but if you went to, for example, NA V10s running on the latest cutting edge alternative fuels with no ERS, would we not see the following benefits? - significant weight savings, enabling F1 to have ... - smaller cars because of the reduced need for crazy amounts of DF to offset the weight - more nimble cars in and out of slower corners, without the ridiculous, uncatchable snaps of oversteer - great-sounding cars again - a 'green' sustainability effort in the form of alternative fuel and thermal efficiency research, which could be easily marketed and potentially beneficial to the world Seems to me like such a move could fix a lot of what's wrong with F1 these days. Even if you stayed with turbo V6s rather than V10s, the sound would still be better than it is now and the other benefits would remain as well, esp if you lose fuel flow limits. You lose 55kg right off the bat by cutting the ERS. And then there's the ERS cooling. Dunno how much that weighs. Cutting the turbo is probably pretty significant as well, but I dunno how much the turbo and all of its related accessories and piping weigh. You could also get rid of about another 50kg if you bring back refueling and drop the fuel limits. Just sayin'.
  15. My kid starts working out with AJ soon, so I was showing him a lot of old video like this. He loves the old stuff just like we do. It was just better. ETA: Oh yeah, I was at that match. Only time I ever went to that tournament. We did Hermosa a bunch of times though. Fun weekend. Took my family to the Kettle back in June this year. Such a great breakfast.
  16. So, did they get their asses kicked?
  17. Seriously. Hellraiser dbag = dipshit troll.
  18. Your ability to completely miss the point while simultaneously making the point for us is astonishingly impressive. We're jammed in there already, even at 1 butt per seat. The last thing we need is a bunch of sweaty, ugly dudes and fat chicks wedging their way into an already crowded space.
  19. Brent Venables puts his big kart in the small cart lane at the HEB cart corral.
  20. I'm fine with that, but how 'bout let's go where the real weight additions have been made - in the batteries.
  21. I mean, I dgaf if you drink, or if you drink like a girl, or whatever. But nah man, for what tickets go for now, I ain't gettin' squeezed into half of the normal Cotton Bowl space (that's pretty small to begin with) because you can't figure out how to buy tickets. I've been to about 30 of the last 40 TX-ou games and have managed to never buy seats on the wrong end. Weird.
