  1. Does Chirinos often/always catch Verlander? The catcher platoon as seemed weird to me, but I don't follow the 'stros on a nightly basis either. Thanks, I'll hang up and listen.
  2. I'm centralizing on Unifi gear, so this never got installed. Priced to move - reviews are really good, recording kept on-site (no requirement for cloud), PoE cameras included. Everything you need for a whole-house system. System is in Austin, cash only, can meet to exchange. https://austin.craigslist.org/ele/d/austin-reolink-rlk8-420d4-5mp-outdoor/7003281489.html
  3. You know, I watch a lot of football. Have for a very long time. I'm an athlete, and watch a ton of sports. And there are times when I realize I don't know a goddamnmed thing about the game of football at a technical level. I know all the words in the above post, but I've never seen them put in this particular order, and I have no idea what you're talking about :). Thanks for bringing the heat ... maybe I can learn something.
  4. To be clear, Dr. Beeper is talking about closetojumping. CTJ is smart, incredibly football-savvy, and connected to this program in ways that 99.9% of us are not. However, he was 100% dead-ass fucking wrong about Sam, and he hasn't said shit about it.
  5. I'm taking the younger kiddo (5), so I'd like to be decently close so that the walk when we leave isn't brutal (because I'll certainly be carrying her). LBJ Library lot would be baller. I can meet you during the day Saturday basically any time. No idea what the market value is for this?
  6. I remember being fucking FURIOUS after we ran him on 3rd down ... lol. Love that kid.
  7. That's a fantastic cut, especially with Isbell's intro. I wish the sound on the chorus was a little better.
  8. I also got a little unlucky with the first few songs of hers that I heard. I'm well aware of my own musical tastes; I prefer some pace, some volume, and some movement to my music. The breathy, trying-to-be-super-emotional stuff doesn't get it done for me. A few of her lower-key songs were what I heard early, and it just didn't click. Imagine my surprise to hear Raise Hell or Hard Way Home. Then during the middle of the whole "migrant crisis" (sarcastic emphasis mine), The Joke made it clear that I'd made a mistake, as I hurriedly returned to explore more of her discography. So fucking good ...
  9. Every time I watch a Highwomen clip, I come away more and more impressed with Brandi Carlile. I know I"m a little late to this game with her, but no what the arrangement is or how the harmony is structured, I hear her voice first. She just carries that group of four ultra-accomplished women. That's not a slight to the other three, just taking notice of something.
  10. Those things cause you to hit thin lob wedges at the heads of the very nice members that are hosting you at local country clubs.
  11. Arrowhead might be the most fun I've ever had on a golf course. I have a picture of my dad and I on what I think is the teebox of the hole AFTER the one in your second pic, PH. That golf course was absolutely stunning, and in great shape, AND at altitude. I love seeing post pictures - it's clearly unmistakable. I really need to go back out there ...
  12. I love you man, but you think too much :). (miss you in Austin BTW).
  13. Hahahahahahahahaha ... hey @chitwood I fucking told you so. Fuck, I just want Butler to stay the same, because changes to that place remind me that I'm getting older. Progress is inevitable. First they came for Armadillo World Headquarters, but I was too young. Then the Black Cat burned down, but I didn't go to 6th all that often. But Butler Park is a step too far. 8 and 9 are the best holes out there. Burn down that shittastic 3rd hole if you want - the back corner of that lot will hold a food truck pavilion and music lounge, and you can insert another 60-yard hold between 8 tee and the putting green, or even just do away with the putting green and use the space for another hole. But. It doesn't matter. In two years, the new operators are going to complain to the city that the current configuration of land (i.e. golf course) is too difficult to run profitably, and recommend that the city investigate other ways to use the property. And two years after that, we'll have more condos. I LIKE condos. Our urban density is still shit, even after the 10-year boom. We can't magically make more space for highways and we refuse to put light rail to the university or to the airport (you know, where people actually GO), so our traffic is going to continue to suck. Making the urban core more dense is our biggest remaining weapon. But does it have to be THIS LOT that we put more condos on?
  14. I never got why so many on here criticized him for this. I mean I guess because this is Texas board and he's at OU. But I don't want my QB to go out there and start taking unnecessary hits. Fuck that. This is a QBs game. You don't win without one so I want mine standing up to play. I also want one smart enough to know this and to avoid them when possible. After the noisy yellers and downright idiots are filtered out, most of us here are pretty complimentary of Kyler's skill set and achievements. He clearly wins, and he's clearly freakishly talented. He didn't start well with us 6 years ago, and he deserves some shit for that, but his on-field results speak for themselves. Mayfield chokes on cock by choice. Fuck him.
  15. Now analyze him if he played for texas. Ready? First throw was off the back foot and largely luck that he got it out in front of the LB to his man; If I'm an TX fan I'm worried about that throwing mentality, but gunslingers gonna gunsling I guess. The last throw was really damn nice, dime down the sideline. Props for that one. In balance, in rhythm, on target and on time.
  16. Totally agree with this entire post. He and Mayfield seem to be jackass peas in a pod, but I can't deny the talent.

  18. DDD can golf his fucking ball (don't let him try and convince you otherwise). Nice playing, old man.
  19. God it's fun when you play good golf. Played Plum Creek this morning, 35-39/74. Birdied 7-8-9, and lipped out two others on the back. Couple of lazy bogeys to finish, but just a real solid round. Met three great guys, sun was out, just perfect.
  20. I swear facts are hard for some people. Thank you for typing this out. I don't care about the ENG-SWE match or what their players get paid (well, actually I do but I'm just a softie liberal who cares about equal opportunity), but on this point there's no factual reason why the USMNT should be paid more than the USWNT. Our Men's team sucks ass, and our women's team are playing for two WCs in three attempts, plus a four of the six gold medals ever awarded in Women's soccer in the Olympics. The Men are bumbling chucklefucks that can't posses a goddamn ball (not you CP, you're awesome), and the women define their sport.
