  2. Thought this may be of interest to the history buffs from the one and only Craig Way. Top 10 of all time. No better source than Craig Way, the state’s preeminent high school expert. He did his usual spectacular job of calling the two 6A state football championships. I asked him where the Chaps rank all-time in his personal list of the top classification champions. Way picked 2019 Galena Park North Shore as his β€œmost complete team ever” with its back-to-back state championship, followed in order by the 2015 Katy team that had β€œperhaps the best high school football defense ever in 6A," this year’s Westlake team with its β€œincredible defense and explosive and maturing offense," followed by 2016 Lake Travis and its β€œbest offense of the highest classification” and Kyler Murray’s final 2014 Allen squad that three-peated. His next five are Cedric Benson’s three-peating Rebels of Midland Lee in 2000, 2006 Southlake Carroll for Todd Dodge’s fourth title in five seasons, Jessie Armstead and Dallas Carter’s 1988 team, Jerod Douglas and the 1993 Converse Judson team, and a tie between the 1991 Odessa Permian club that beat Priest Holmes’ San Antonio Marshall and the β€œgreat goshamighty, Joe Friday” John Tyler club in 1994 that had the β€œgreatest finish ever in a playoff game." https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/2021/01/19/kirk-bohls-chaps-among-best-high-school-state-football-champions-ever/4221144001/
  3. Drive failure, power failure ? Always considering one for backup for reasons as you state. Chromebooks do have USB ports, right ?
  4. Don't disagree, but Klubnik also injured. Great game ! Congrats to @TreatyOak and the 'Chap Nation. Westlake had a quarterback who completed all but two of his 20 passes Saturday even though Todd Dodge said the junior didn’t throw a pass all week because of a banged-up shoulder, courtesy of a rugged game against two-time defending state champion Galena Park North Shore the week before. https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/2021/01/17/high-school-football-westlake-lays-claim-most-complete-team/4196050001/
  5. Saban at halftime to Maria Taylor "Need to stop big plays on defense. There is no scoreboard in this game"
  6. If you do not view the Baseball Forum, below tweet is courtesy of @Horny Bull. Would think softball will have similar schedule. The second entry is from a poster on the OU Softball Forum. ACCsoftball schedule plans:Max of 50 game season - 8 conf. weekends all w/ 4-game series + 3-team pods at select sites in place of ACC/B1G Challenge = 38 ACC games -Up to 12 non-conference games allowedI think SEC is doing something similar.I've read that the Big 10 is doing conference only.Anxious to hear what Big 12 is doing https://www.dirtburglars.com/forum/sports-forums/athletics/other-sports/594115-2020-2021-sooner-softball
  7. Pierce's contract expires in 2022. Normally, you do not want a coach to enter into the final year of his contract without an extension. But, Covid will have to be considered and the effect it will have on this and future seasons. Meaning how may games will be played, competition, etc. In Lobo's posts above it seems this season will not be normal. Meaning it may be difficult to determine progress unless there is a repeat of the 27-27 season in 2019. Last year's team started 14-3 (won Ark, Lost to LSU, Mizzou, Az, swept a weak Fullerton team which finished the season at 4-12). Pierce's resume includes a regular season B12 title and a trip to Omaha (0-2) in 2018. tl;dr: Pierce may be the "Teflon Don" of college baseball. Not enough evidence to convict. CDC may have a difficult decision.
  8. Sark's press conf prior to ND game. Very articulate and professional. Doesn't drink water every 2 min. At 12:43 discusses offense recruiting philosophy.
  9. Just like the baseball hire.
  10. Miss St players celebrating the fight in the locker room. Disgraceful !
  11. Good points. icymi, the Thamel column from the Urban thread. Full article is worth the read. https://sports.yahoo.com/as-college-football-coaching-changes-urban-meyer-isnt-only-one-who-could-jump-to-nfl-022802330.html Why would the NFL have more appeal than a job like Texas or USC? Few jobs in sports promise to change as precipitously as college football coaching in the next 12 months. The absolute control that so many of these coaches coveted is now waning, with the transfer portal, one-time transfer exemption and Name Image and Likeness rules all shifting the power away from the coaches. This isn’t an endorsement or indictment of that shift, just acknowledging facts.
  12. Keep patience and the holiday spirit, my friend. πŸ™‚ Would appreciate a brief comparison/opinion of ATTVNow vs Uverse, cost, content, etc. Thanks !
  13. His younger brother, Terry Don, became the AD at Clemson and hired an unproven wide receivers coach named Dabo Swinney.
  14. https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-factory-reset-windows-10 Have you considered a Reset (link above) ? May be best to backup your files and choose the option to clean everything. I see the computer originally came with Win7. Some users upgrading from Win7 found it best to use the below method. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Another option is to create Win10 installation media on a USB drive, wipe the drive, and install. Your HP may have Recovery software installed to wipe the drive. This is effective to eliminate malware. There is other free software available online to wipe the drive like DBAN. This method can be used if you upgrade to SSD. IT is not my forte, but have had no problems using these methods. If you previously upgraded to Win10, your license is digitally embeded in BIOS so no problem with activation.
  15. The deal includes franchise locations in Arizona, Kansas, Missouri, and Virginia, along with six Houston-area locales: Copperfield at 7250 Highway 6 North; MacGregor at 2400 B S. MacGregor Way; Tidwell at 13010 North West Freeway; Kingwood at 4360 Kingwood Dr.; Stafford at 11445 Fountain Lake Dr.; and Creekside at 8510 Creekside Forest Dr. https://www.chron.com/food/article/Luby-s-franchise-Fuddruckers-Black-Titan-Holdings-15807777.php
  16. "Hope springs eternal" Perhaps they will be able to franchise some of the Luby's to save me and @Brisketexan πŸ™‚ Houston-based Luby's, Inc. on Wednesday announced that it will franchise 13 of its Fuddruckers stores, including several locations in Houston. Luby's, Inc. has entered into an agreement with Black Titan Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of food service entrepreneur and president of Black Titan Investment Corporation, Nicholas M. Perkins https://www.chron.com/food/article/Luby-s-franchise-Fuddruckers-Black-Titan-Holdings-15807777.php
  17. https://www.medicaidplanningassistance.org/medicaid-eligibility-texas/#:~:text=2020 Texas Medicaid Long Term Care Eligibility for,%244%2C698 %2F month 2 more rows Check the above. Also, consider consulting an Elder Law Attorney. Can't recall Surly Attorneys that specialize, hopefully @TwiceHorn knows. @hornian ?
  18. πŸ™‚πŸ™‚πŸ™‚ I am older but went thru same dilemma. Keep that F-150 for a few more years. You'll miss it ! πŸ™‚
  19. True 'dat ! He has done a great job, announced today that UTSA will play SMU in the Frisco Bowl, 19 Dec. BON is looking for clicks. https://thefriscobowl.com/smu-and-utsa-selected-to-play-in-2020-tropical-smoothie-cafe-frisco-bowl/
  20. Larry Hill one of the best coaches in the State. Chaps should win but SV will not beat themselves.
  21. Nice ! What is your team's record ? May have to add you to the list of candidates.
  22. https://www.barkingcarnival.com/2020/12/7/22160352/fred-akers-passes-away Stephen Ross, BC, posted a great vid of a celebration for Coach Akers last year before the LSU game. Interviews with many former players. Must see. Don't miss Robert Brewer at 6:53 or Doug Shankle at 8:25. (anyone know how to embed vimeo vids, would be great. may need a vimeo acct ?)
  23. https://big12sports.com/news/2020/12/6/big-12-football-coaches-teleconference-week-14.aspx He did the B12 Teleconference yesterday (1:32:30) though that can be done in isolation. When other head coaches have been diagnosed with Covid it was announced. However, Mensa may be different.
  24. No personal experience, but may want to check edmunds.com, nhtsa.gov for recalls, car and driver, and other sites for reviews. I did see a Consumer Reports article awhile back(don't have link) that reliability was not the highest for the 2020 Acadia and Chevy Traverse. Great looking vehicle !
  25. RIP, Fred ! Luv ya' Coach ! https://www.kvue.com/article/news/investigations/defenders/defenders-coach-fred-akers-family-visits-nursing-homes/269-f139246c-2d5b-49e7-9342-a7fb8f7c18e9 Fred had Alzheimers. Above story from KVUE in Aug details his family's plight to visit him due to COVID. Excerpt but please click on the story. Great vid/interview. He thrived there, interacting with others – and she visited every day. Then COVID-19 changed everything. The facility where he was staying went on lockdown, cut out activities and kept residents safely inside their rooms. Diane Akers' daily visits were limited to window visits through glass. β€œHe didn't understand why his hand had to be on a piece of glass, why he couldn't feel anyone. Then he got disinterested because he couldn't feel the human touch, the hug, any of it. So it made him not talk at all,” she said. β€œIt's like solitary confinement,” said Leslie Akers. β€œIt was killing him.”
