  1. My Longhorn dad, class of 57, passed away on March 2nd. Today would've been his 93rd birthday. I'm gonna be selfish and say they won it for him. Great job bringing home the trophy ladies!
  2. Blinn is in Brenham, not Bryan/College Station. It's owned by the people of Washington County. They play their home games in Brenham ISD's stadium. The Blinn in Bryan is a satellite campus and only exists because Brazos County is too cheap to build their own community college. They had a private juco for a while, but that went bust. Blinn stepped in to fill the gap temporarily while Brazos County was supposed to develop their own, but they never did. Blinn was fine with it because they charge everyone on that campus "out of county" tuition and get more money from the state because they could count those students in enrollment. So in short, no, aggyland cannot count any of the Blinn NCs or Scam Newton as their own.
  3. We've had flooding all around Washington County and a 10 year old girl was swept away by flood waters while walking home from school. A Brenham Police Officer was also swept away while trying to rescue her, but they were able to get him out. As of 9pm, the girl was still missing. Very sad.
  4. I got called an asshole this weekend after recounting the time I helped the Round Rock Express come from behind to win a game. It's the bottom of the 8th inning and Round Rock had runners on 2nd & 3rd trailing by one run with 2 outs. Their offense had been dead the whole game and a lot of the fans had already left making the ballpark pretty quiet. Our seats were right behind first base and you could easily hear all of the chatter on the field. Round Rock batter pops up a super high shot that was gonna come down right behind the first base bag for an easy out, and the baserunners were off on contact because it was 2 outs already. I watched the ball and when it got about halfway back down, I started yelling "No, no, no, no, I got it, I got it, mine" really loudly, and to my complete surprise, the first baseman stopped tracking the ball and looked back for whoever was calling him off. By the time the ball hit the ground, the runner on 3rd had already scored to tie it, and the runner from 2nd had rounded 3rd and was heading home to take the lead. EVERYBODY left in the stadium looked directly at me, I guess trying to process what just happened. The first baseman looked at me like I just shot his dog. The Express shut down the other team in the top of the 9th and turned an almost certain loss into a win because of my big mouth.
  5. My college roommate's parents' house was just a couple of miles from the site. Lucky for them, the hills in that area protected them from the brunt of the blast. His mom told me that the walls on the house bowed in and then wobbled before settling back into place. She also said it blew out decades of dust that she didn't know was there. My dad and older brother both stepped outside of their respective workplaces to see the giant mushroom cloud. As my dad was leaving his building there were ceiling tiles and all sorts of things that were mounted to the walls that were falling down like a scene in a movie.
  6. Your honor, in my defense, I was drunk the entire weekend. Plus, I lost my abacus.
  7. The Brenham salt dome explosion that killed three and injured 21 others also happened 43 years ago last week. There would've been a lot more victims if it had happened in a more populated area. A worker from the oil & gas company responsible for the blast stopped a school bus full of kids from driving through the valley where the explosion happened just minutes before.
  8. Back in 1995 I was going North on 281 in downtown San Antonio almost to the I-10 West exit, but not in the exit lane. At that point on the freeway, it's elevated because there are surface streets that cross underneath it. I notice someone coming up on me way faster than what was safe in my rearview mirror and he jerks into the exit lane right before he's about to hit me. My guess is that he was either trying to pass me or changed his mind about exiting because he tried zipping back into my lane in front of me. He misjudged his speed and cashed into the retaining wall right at the "V" that divides the exit and other lanes, and popping right over the edge and down to the street below. There was no way that I could stop or go back to render aid. The next day I saw news footage of the wreck and his car looked like a crushed beer can. I also saw a small plane crash into a field outside of the SA airport and the pilot died in that one too.
  9. Jeez. Some of those idiots were penciling themselves into the Elite 8 and calling their season a complete failure if they don't. Why? They've won 3 more games and have only 4 less loses than a disappointing Texas team that's on the bubble. They aren't anywhere near an upper tier team. If they deserve a 4 seed, we deserve no less than a 6 seed. It never, ever changes with those morons.
  10. I was on the ESPN App. It just showed up in my listings now that the game is over. WTF?
  11. I have SEC+ and Hulu Live with SEC Network and it still didn't show up on my listings.
  12. His dad was our OC my soph and jr years in high school in the mid 80s. One day Bill Boy rolled up to visit one of our practices in a Cadillac convertible with the top down and his wife/girlfriend was wearing a big fur coat when it was about 80 degrees. We were all like, "what the hell is going on here?"
  13. I have one of those boxes somewhere in my memorabilia collection. I packed it all away when I moved and haven't seen it since. That was in 2003.
  14. Probably coincidence, but the location where the Black Hawk started tracking from was the home of a Saudi Cultural Attaché.
  15. Holy shit! I didn't realize that was her half sister. I have a crazy, long distance (like really long distance) connection to all of this. Robyn Lively was in Teen Witch with my buddy Lee. He only had a small part in the movie, but he was on the movie poster and VHS cover. His family actually owned my childhood home before my parents bought the house from his parents. Sorry for the thread hijack, but it really is a small world.
