    A bunch of buddies and me left UT after our freshman year for a trip to Costa Rica. After bumbling around the country for a week, we took a small plane to Golfito and were supposed to meet some guy with a truck to get to some guy's farm on the coast for some reason. That's about as well-planned as the trip was. We pile into the back of his small Izuzu pickup for the 3 hour ride to the farm. We head straight into the jungle and after about 2 hours the skies just opened up. Nightfall, tearing through the jungle, sheets of rain but covered by the camper top. All of a sudden the dumbass driver slams right into a raging flash flooded river. Immediately the truck bolts 90 degrees and we go headfirst down the river in the truck. We all ditch the truck as the camper top fills with water and try our best to get to the riverbank, clutching at logs or anything to get us to the side. It's pitch black; the only thing visible, save for a few fading lights on the truck, is when lightning would flash. I vividly remember seeing my buddy holding on to the truck's windshield wiper at the flash of lightning, water covering him up as we bobbled down the river. Somehow we all made it to the bank in one piece. Truck and all of our gear, food, etc was either trashed or floated downstream. We managed to find a farmer's house not too far away who put us put us up for the night in his barn's attic. Amazing that we all lived.

    So the foreign version of the farmers daughter story eh?

    I re-watched the Maryland game on LHN twice this week.  After watching, I convinced myself that we weren't as bad as I really thought and that despite a slow start, we would still be a decent to good football team this year.  Then I watched the Tulsa game and have been brought back to reality.

    Maybe not the right place for this, but just saw Edith Royals film piece during"Rewind With Tom Herman"....all I can say is it gave me goosebumps, God Bless Edith Royal.

    If it's the 900th win thing, they aired it on LHN during the postgame.

    I think that may be it.  Stumbled into it but do remember 900 being mentioned 1-2 times?

  6. Just saw this on Reddit.

    I just got home from College Station after the game. What could have been a horrible, horrible experience was saved by some gracious kind people. We decided to leave the game early as to avoid traffic and lo and behold we were sitting on two flat tires. Realizing we only had one spare I didn't  know what we could do. Fortunately three strange looking women dressed in Maroon and apparently a milk delivery man approaches and asked if we needed help. I explained our conundrum to them and they said they would be happy to help. The nice Milkman that mediately took out his cell phone and made a call and then they started pushing my vehicle out of the lot saying they were pushing into a tire repair place it was just close by. I was very concerned and confused as we had our two infant children with us and it was cold and damp out. Furthering my concern was the fact that they pushed her car passed a Discount Tire Center and a Goodyear tire center. When I asked about why we didn't stop there they said they had a local repair place it did much better work. After we arrived at this run down tire shop the owner of appeared about 40 minutes later to repair our tires. Just as we are about to leave some very Haggard old woman showed up and stuck a bag of money through the window and said she hoped our children will receive a great education. I'm sure as my infant daughter's get older they will appreciate her gesture and kindness. My experience at that game was beyond all expectations.

     

    Sincerely,

  7. Late to the party, but finally watched aggy game against Clemson. Head a few takeaways

     

    Kelen Mond will not survive the season.

    Although Mond have great statistics on the surface he was basically looking many passes where he was running for his life and just threw it up for grabs.

    It was a very bizarre game that turned on about 12 different plays it could have made it a blowout.

    I think several posters were correct in that Clemson just wanted to get out of there towards the end with no injuries.

    And approximately two more games as the losses keep mounting we'll have a meme for Jimbo Fisher it says don't care got paid.  At which point he will totally lose interest and season will turn into the complete sewer we expected. Cue roller coaster crash.

    And of course as we all know the end of the game featured mini delicious aggy tears
