Thanks. I'll register before the night is over.

Probably a dumb question but how does this work? Does ESPN pick the 10 games and each person picks or does each person pick their 10 games?

To all you folks riding the Metro escalators, please stand to the right. Make sure your wives and kids are aware also.

It's almost football season mofo's!

3 minutes ago, Neonmoon said:Another good part-If Fisher is terminated 'without cause,' he will be paid the full amount remaining on his contract. 25 percent of that would be in a lump sum paid within 60 days of his termination with the remaining balance paid in equal annual payments through Dec. 2027. Fisher would not be required to mitigate the University's payments by seeking new employment and, if Fisher is able to secure another job prior to the end of his contract, the University is not entitled to any offset related to his new employment agreement.
Even on the aggy curve, they got bent over.

More Colt. I'll never forget that run. I think people underestimate how athletic Colt was.
People do. He came right after Vince so it looked different than what we were used to. I don't think anyone appreciates how fast Colt was.

OK I'll bite. We are staying on Georgetown at the Embassy Suites (have 3 kids in tow, needed space and walkable neighborhood for restaurants, etc). Kids are 3, 5 and 7. Getting in late Fri and me and 2 kids are doing the game Saturday. Otherwise staying around Sat afternoon/evening, all day Sunday and probably heading back to NE not too late on Mon. Rec's for must-do with that age group? Air and Space museum is a given. Seeing some of the cool big monuments as well. But what else? Good restaurants to go to with kids that are not far from where we're staying? And also, what is best method for getting to see all the sites with 3 little ones and pushing a stroller? Should we just drive and and park or do public transit?
I would still do Metro because you'll spend a lot more time trying to find a parking space and getting your kids in and out of it than you will getting your kids on and off Metro. Plus, they think trains are cool. If it's a small stroller, it can fold up and go up the escalators. If not, most of the Metros have a working elevator. I raised twins here and we Metro'd everywhere with a big double stroller until they outgrew it. Even with a broken elevator, it was a lot easier to fold it up and haul it up an escalator than dealing with parking.
As far as museums, Natural History is great for kids. The Building museum near Gallery Place was awesome when mine were young but I honestly don't know if that's still the case. Things may have changed when they started charging for admission.
As far as restaurants, I'll let someone else answer that one but Embassy Suites is walkable to a lot.

is it slightly off center like the real thing?

I have a 7 PM train on Saturday night to NYC. Would you locals recommend the rail or an Uber leaving the stadium??
Uber

Not sure if you did something immamac, but my PayPal finally went through.
Order #420 ftw.
-
I don't know much about this stuff but I think the reason my payment isn't going through is because I'm on my Surface Pro using the Edge browser. When I get back home, I'll try logging in from Chrome and see if that works.
-
Well, I tried to pay through both paypal and through card direct and received an unable to log in through Paypal and error paying on the credit card. There's no real error message/code to send so I'll just hang around a bit until you guys have that figured out.

I think Texas could push back on showing high school games. It feels like Deloss totally rolled over on that one and didn't even try to fight.
Non football wise, in the last few years, the network has missed out on preseason basketball games that had a lot of interest. In addition, there doesn't seem to be any interest in showing spring sports outside of softball and baseball. Baseball should be shown live whenever possible and never be taken off the air for a blowout softball game. I'd rather watch some swim meets than another repeat of Texas-USC. I do think they do a good job on volleyball. Not sure about soccer, I can barely stomach watching that.
In football, Lowell Gallindo sucks as a host and as the "go to" host, he's a fucking dork Find another Kaylee Hartung and when they move up, find another one. Don't go back to the dork. I'd like to see a lot more buildup towards the upcoming opponents in football each week. This is a dumb example, but I would talk up every football opponent as being a huge threat to us (a la Mack Brown or Lou Holtz) and focus on key match ups with a really good player or two of the other team. Texas is a knowledgeable football state and there could be a show with a focus on actual X's and O's each week. I'm sure there are a lot more ideas out there that people more qualified than me could emphasize but those are just a few off the top of my head.

Random thought.
Longhorn Network hasn't been what I wanted it to be. This guy, if he has the time, could make that happen. A combination of is being good again in football and him putting some time into the network could make that the weapon I thought it could be.

Sometimes when I read these aggy threads, I kind of feel as though I’m laughing at the autistic kid in the back of the cafeteria that’s repeatedly hitting himself in the head with a full Coke bottle. Anybody ever felt that way before? And if so how did you get past it?
Aggy isn't the autistic kid in the back of the cafeteria. It's the dork who always tries to fit in with the cool kids. He talks about what a badass his navy seal older brother is (his brother really works on a ferry boat). It's the guy at the table, who when the other guys start talking about their girlfriends, he starts talking about his girlfriend who "goes to another school." It's the guy who claims he will fight someone and kick their ass but is nowhere to be seen when that opportunity arises. Aggy is not autistic. He's just a dork who tries too hard to fit in.

I've seen that movie before, everything about it sucks until the last minute or so. Killer ending though..
lulz. I can only watch the last drive of that game. We were so f'ing inept that only the aggy in them prevented them from running away with it. Hell of a defensive job by them in that last drive.

Koppe drank more than a trivial amount of booze last night.

Since they don't want to play us, we should agree and quit talking about it. I'll continue to enjoy beating them in post season sports. Glad we could agree.
-
There are and will be plenty of tickets.
Personally, I wouldn't stay in Georgetown. You can walk places but you won't have good access to the Metro lines. Might want to consider staying in Dupont Circle or even closer to the White House for more walkability to touristy stuff.

In 3 years at A&M this is who Beaty helped A&M land as the primary or secondary recruiter:
Myles Garrett (#2 national recruit)
Speedy Noil (#10 national recruit)
RSJ (#24 national recruit)
Nick Harvey (#60 national recruit)
Frank Iheanacho (#88 national recruit)
Sebastian Larue (#144 national recruit)
Kam Miles (#146 national recruit)
Laquvionte Gonzalez (#156 national recruit)
Daeshon Hall (#177 composite recruit)
Ishmael Wilson (#215 composite recruit)
Kenny Hill (#241 composite recruit)
Nobody in state wants to see Beaty as a position coach at Texas. He will be a problem on the recruiting trail.
Not only can he recruit, he can actually coach our receivers to block. I'd love to have him as WR coach.

+ rep for follow through. Glad you didn't get your pecker shoved on a hot stove.
