  1. So my crazy, annoying, thief of an aunt (trust me....none of you want to see pics) moved from MN to Spring Hill, FL a little over 5 years ago. Since she's lived there she's done nothing but post on FB about how amazing the weather is, the lack of cold/snow, etc. In particular, she loves to chime in when her friends that still live in MN are stuck in a blizzard or arctic blast with posts like "I was sitting on our lanai and just happened to see the forecast. I hope you're all ok and this is just another reason why I fled the state before the law caught up with the dozen or so scams I've been running over the past 30+ years left MN." The past 24 hours her friends are checking in, wanting to know if she's safe or being forced to evacuate. She's chosen the "God is my protector" hurricane preparedness plan. Just giving y'all a heads up in case a pasty white, obese, 66 YO woman with a funny accent ends up on the TV after she's been evacuated from the roof of her house via helicopter.
  2. It wouldn't surprise me to learn she's as much of a chameleon as her brother. My only interactions with her was when she was tagging along w/ Nate so I'd chalk her actions up to a well-rehearsed good cop/bad cop routine.
  3. Brand new home is interesting assuming you get to choose every detail (location, build specs, furnishings, etc). A retirement home for just the 2 of us in an idyllic location that is also energy efficient w/ low ownership costs could do it. I'd also like to know if adult beverages are included in groceries. If so, the potential to make a nice profit investing in high end wine & spirits comes into play.
  4. Nate's younger sister & business partner Sheena is an attorney, FWIW. She's also pretty easy on the eye & routinely played the nice, respectful professional adult to his blustering gas bag routine. She's kept a much lower profile, however, and seems to be in the clear so far.
  5. He handled it the right way. I'm hoping that someone leaks a copy of that letter (I'm sure it went to all conference members) so yakbreath will be forced to address it by the media. Let him squirm under the lights while people question if he's truly mature or professional enough to run the BXII.
  6. Wallace asked about Yormak's comments in Lubbock. "The thing is, I got a letter about sportsmanship from the commissioner earlier that week. I'm guessing he won't be having Thanksgiving dinner with us."
  7. Ed Clemments looking tan, rested and ready fat, drunk and out to lunch.
  8. "Embrace the hate. At some point you've gotta go hunt, you've gotta go punch...." 🤘
  9. And in a GQP debate last week, *8 1/2 of the 10 candidates vowed to support Trump as the Republican candidate EVEN IF CONVICTED of the felony indictments he's facing. *Christie half-raised his hand then tried to call out the absurdity of the predicament.
  10. You just wait until the MAGATs who've taken over all of the school boards across the south adopt Trump's English as THE standard for education going forward.
  11. This is a key year for LJ. This should guarantee his pension eligibility and it will increase if he's on a roster at year's end. Every dime counts.
  12. Fox lies about Gold Star family, claims they had to pay $60K for remains of daughter KIA Fox News should not be allowed on any American military base. Full stop.
  13. Somewhere ol' Freaky Bob is up there and reliving the good ol' days before the producers went soft on him and is letting the female contestants reach down deep into his hundred dollar pocket to fish out that c-note.
  14. Unfortunately due to the drought, Lake Travis is too low for a repeat of this glorious debacle.
  15. Tech needs to bring those unis back.
  16. You're making the argument FOR the programs who have been there since the early inception of the sport and survived when others didn't as a reason for their consideration as a blue blood.
  17. I had the same benefits through Right Management which I found to be quite useful. My coach was great and a lot of the content (on-demand and live webinars) was very useful. My resume writer was probably the weakest link due to her slow response time and lack of true input. In fact, if their resume builder app was better/more intuitive I would have skipped the resume writer altogether. One thing she did provide, however, was my resume in two different Word formats: one for sharing directly with personnel via email, and one to submit via online portals for the AI readers. The differences were subtle-just some formatting and fonts-but are apparently useful in that AI "reads" the text differently than a person and the 2nd version is designed to make more of an impact with the bots. Of course that could all be bullshit and just a way for RM to claim that they're providing 2X the benefits but hey, everything helps I suppose.
  18. Did the BXII just not increase in size? Is your HC, AD, and conference commissioner not chirping that their best days are firmly ahead of them? Tech and the rest all get to enjoy exactly what they've always wanted...a conference without Texas and OU. Enjoy, sandy vag.
  19. And Tech receives ZERO funding from the citizens of this state, right? This reminds me of some dipshit on Baylorfans 15+ years ago claiming Texas had an unfair advantage because his taxes went to funding UT and paying for things like electricity and infrastructure, Texas could divert funds to the athletic department that poor, li'l ol Baylor couldn't match keep up with.
