    A&M + 4 schools that routinely beat A&M's ass up and down the field. Probably a deliberate selection, unfortunately.

    Agreed, it's obvious they just want to chalk up his commitment as a "win" against us and the other rivals.

    A therapist will absolutely help. I had a full blown ‘I’m having a massive heart attack’ right after college in the early 90s. I went to see someone and just the words ‘you have a lot of shit going on...this is ok and ‘not uncommon’ helped me tremendously. I had a few years after that but always went back to this encounter and sure enough at the time had way too much going on and was jacked up on caffeine and smoking cigs...had to chill the hell out...all the media, devices and info pounding us now does not help...have to step away at times and breathe.

    I think i'll shop around to try a therapist out to get some good ole CBT to see if that helps. It's probably too expensive per session to go through with it all the way for my health care budget but I could at least try 3 or so sessions to see if it seems like it could help. Why not now for "mental health awareness month"..

    @cactusflinthead: The psychedelic -assisted  therapy stuff sounds very interesting. If I knew of someone around DFW that could do that I would give it a try. I would give anything a try!

    @Bogeywon: I can relate to the wife not completely understanding what we're going through. I've asked my wife to drive on a couple of occasions on long trips because there's something about driving a car in heavy traffic for hours on end that doesn't mix well with someone with anxiety. On one occasion she got upset with me over something unrelated and she threw it in my face that she "wasn't my chauffeur" which kind of hurt. Other than that she's been very supportive when I'm feeling really bad but you wouldn't say something like that if you truly felt the physical symptoms that a full blown anxiety attack can bring.

  3. I'm sure no one remembers but I had a scare with my heart after some chest pain and fainting back in March. Had it fully checked out and the doctors say my heart is in good condition but the whole ordeal gave me anxiety symptoms. I felt this anxiety from March till mid April and then it went away for about three weeks but now for the past 3 weeks it has come back. The doc originally gave me some Klonopin to take on an as needed basis which I did take on a few occasions but I am/was hesitant to do this unless it was a severe anxiety attack because I don't want to become dependent on them. I finally went back to the doc a few weeks ago and to tell him how the specialists checks went and to see what he thought I should do about the anxiety. He prescribed Zoloft so I've been taking 50 mg (1/2 pill) everyday for the past two weeks. I do feel like it gives me a "boost" for a few hours after taking it but it doesn't prevent the symptoms from coming on later in the day. Hell just this weekend I took the half of a pill around noon and while I was at Pluckers at around 3 PM for lunch I had a full blown anxiety attack. 

    My question to you guys is how many people here have experience with SSRI's and how long it takes for them to really take effect? Do they make you feel "normal" the entire day? Any stories of stopping them after extended use and any withdrawal symptoms? Any issues with being on SSRI's and performing intense cardio? I played basketball a few times after I started taking Zoloft and I feel like I get a little dizzy when I'm done playing. 

    Another question is do you guys think that speaking to a therapist would help? I feel like I know nothing very stressful is going on around me so if I know that it's happening for no good reason now than how can someone "talk me out" of these weird physical symptoms? I could be at home watching movies all weekend and feel the anxiety related symptoms with nothing triggering it so how can I talk that away? 

  4. Most people agree that Herman was a good OC at Ohio State therefore one would assume that he knows how to evaluate an OC. If this is true and if he still keeps Beck then that means he thinks that Beck has what it takes to succeed and likely thinks that the offensive ineptitude is due to the players and not the play calling.

  5. Where's the best store to purchase a cheap little chromebook? My 8 year old wants a laptop for his birthday (TODAY) so I need to drop by the store and pick one up on my way home today. I don't want to spend more than $200 on one since it's just for the little guy to mess around on. Walmart, Best Buy, Target? Thanks!

    I also got an extra charcoal grate so I can lay them in a crisscross pattern, which keeps the charcoal/wood from slipping through the grates too quickly.  Hoping that gets me a bit more time off a bag of charcoal.

    I did the same a while back and it works very well for those very reasons.

  7. I missed one of my kid's soccer games for a UT game once and we got blown out so I felt double bad for being a terrible dad. Just so you know that it can be a blessing in disguise if you don't watch it.

    Which won't be the case anymore because we are going to rape blow u. 

  8. I also finally enjoyed an episode. It just felt different like they were actually building up to something over the season instead of just giving me a rollercoaster ride within one episode. I thought the interaction with Fiona was going to turn out differently. I figured Richard would start talking to her and realize the potential and want to turn his company into working on AI stuff powered by his technology. Alternatively I also thought maybe Fiona would try to hack into Richard's stuff while he worked next to her. 

  9. Does a little leakage through the door perimeter really noticeably affect temperatures within the smoker? That's so hard to believe. 

    Edit: Nevermind, I see someone on here said they used about 1/3 less charcoal. I guess it helps more with efficiency over a long smoke than it does with affecting the temperatures at the meat. 

  10. Could you let me know what momentum is, when it starts, how it trends, and the exact moment at which it ends and when it is regained?

     

    Momentum equals mass times velocity. It is a vector so it has both magnitude and direction. It starts as soon as mass and velocity are both nonzero. It trends in the direction of acceleration which is the derivative of velocity with respect to time. The exact moment it ends is when mass or velocity become zero. It is regained when both mass and velocity are nonzero.

  11. Lulz that’s such a ridiculous comparison by Chip. They’re not even similar. Quan was way quicker and much more agile laterally, while Duvernay is a straight line burner. 
    Just in case anyone forgot, Chip has 0 actual knowledge about football. 


    Not to mention Quan’s best quality was his hands and never dropping a pass. Dev has never shown that quality. Not saying he doesn’t have it he just hasn’t shown it.
  12. You might recall that injuries to Colt McCoy received while running the ball on designed plays ended a special season or two for us. Maybe even every season he started outside of 2008. 


    You might also recall that we had no running game and Colt McCoy had to use his legs and short passing game instead to simulate one.
