  1. About 50% of the kids at UArk are Greek so if you aren’t in, social scene is tougher. What mine didn’t realize is that a bunch of houses either limited to Arkansas kids only or the pipelines for Texas kids is mainly 6-10 high schools out of the DFW area. And most of their rush is durning the summer and freshmen show up with “pre-bids” before rush even starts so remaining slots for the big ones are limited. (He did get bids from some of the smaller ones but only wanted one from the big 10). Twin brother didn’t give a shit about going Greek and is having a blast…
  2. Mine both went to UArk, the cost was less than what it would have cost going to TT. (One was top 8% at TWCP and the other top 1/4 but couldn’t get into UT as both want to go the business route and had no chance at McCombs… now one is on the Deans list in Supply Chain but the other is going to transfer to TT (where he originally wanted to go before following his twin to UArk) as he hated the social scene at UArk… (Woodlands kids mainly went Greek in Pike and Fiji and both were tossed off campus the past year and it’s tough to go Greek for boys if you aren’t from select Dallas schools)
  3. Canyon Lake would have to add 150’ of level to spill over… but pay attention to local conditions for localized flooding…
  4. So do we need an Iran vs. US war thread?
  5. FYI- his last name should be pronounced “Boo-cow-cuss”
  6. Labas Mikey!
  7. I didn’t ever think to ask them to shuck them for me… Argh…
  8. Best oysters I’ve ever had are from the Normandy coast in France… And vinegar and shallots in place of horseradish cocktail sauce is a killer…
  9. Yup on PSVue…. Only thing that sucks about YTTV is no Astros/Rockets…
  10. Real number is like 57% from Texas. 2 of mine are there studying supply chain and we have never had any issues while there even with Texas Ex stickers on cars… (but I did put a pig decal on the kids cars since they have Texas plates just in case…)
  11. Dammit- been watching the whole game and put it on pause and now ESPN has dropped the link to resume…. Argh

    That was interesting…
  13. Shell is in the middle of something similar in E&P and I’ve heard that the same about BP… (I’m guessing CVX buying Hess is part of their calculation on cutting bodies…)
  14. Date stamp matches a different fire (Eaton one).
  15. Then there was this posted on Twitter showing what looks like a person setting a fire… https://x.com/DogRightGirl/status/1878474726714032446/video/1
  16. I kept feeling like I did during the Washington game - their receivers made every damn catch... Good win! Hookem!

    Never saw the flick but loved the book… Spoiler- not really… E3 has dropped and I loved the post-brunch pool scene . Oh, and the non-bolt-on tits of the ex…

    BBT reminds me of Duane in Larry McMurtry’s Texasville… (but it’s been many years since I read it)
  21. Sipping a coffee and watching the sun rise on Fayette-nam. Gonna be a wonderful football day!
  22. My boys said they won’t be able to see us before the game as they have to camp out for entrance Friday night/Sat morning to get in to see the game. May swing by- I’ll have my orange shirt but hog-dad hat on with 3 moms (no pics) in tow…
  23. I’ve got two of those up there as well… One was top 7% but wanted to go to business school so didn’t even apply to UT as chances were slim/none to get in but “No way I’m even applying to a&m as they are weird…” even though all wife’s family went there (wife was only one in her clan to go somewhere other than a&m). The other kid chose UArk over Tech as he thought Lubbock was a shit hole the cost is about the same with the OOS discount and could room with his twin brother. We’re headed up for the game tomorrow to see both them for the game and weekend - I’m betting both wear UArk gear to the game as they don’t want to get killed in the student section and by chance, give dad crap if we shit the bed on Sat… And i’ll be wearing my burnt orange all weekend… if anyone knows of a good UT tailgate (since it looks like there won’t be a Surly one), let me know via PM…
