  1. Apparently Stoops had a hand in designing this inflatable Boomer mascot I saw at Rally House a few weeks ago.
  2. As a current OK resident...
  3. I swear he grimaced a couple of times in the video, and HE'S AT A HOSPITAL! Proof that he's been playing hurt!
  4. It explains a lot about MAGA world in general. I hate to say it, but I saw this firsthand with my Dad. For whatever reason, he was unable to get into the Houston Fire Dept in the early 70's. In his 22 year old brain, "his" spot was given to someone "not as qualified" because of "affirmative action." I heard that refrain a LOT while growing up in his house. My Dad matured over the years and went on to great success in another career, but that one rejection in early adulthood bent his brain on this issue. When MAGA went full-on grievance politics, that DEI issue resonated with the bent piece of his brain and sucked him in. So my Dad, Charlie Kirk, and millions of other (mostly) white people who didn't get exactly what they wanted from life in their formative years found an easy scapegoat for that disappointment and aligned with a movement that gave permission to their anger and distrust. At least that's my theory.
  5. I think Vandy is on the verge of getting high on their own supply and comes out of that stretch 0-3.
  6. Our sweet Penny has had the deck stacked against her for the past five years. We’ve been managing her idiopathic epilepsy since October 2020 and other than that, she’s been pretty healthy physically if not neurologically. For the past few months, we’ve been noticing some weakness in her hind legs and a tendency to fall over while playing. Vet has been keeping an eye on it and today we got the diagnosis that she has Degenerative Myelopathy - a spinal cord disease that progresses a lot like ALS. We’ve probably got less than a year with her. She’ll get tons of treats and hugs and all the playtime she can handle. Here she is having fun with her frisbee on Thursday. IMG_0299.mov
  7. My grandmother went to Church with Strech’s parents. In 2004 she asked a favor from Strech and then presented me with a ball signed by Biggio, Bagwell, and Berkman. It is one of my most prized possessions, and I love that Strech was involved in getting it to me.
  8. Bracamonte has consistently represented this organization well. Hat tip to a real one.
  9. We are dumb and don’t deserve to win ever again.
  10. HBP, 1B, HR same same
  11. Lesssss gooooooo!
  12. Can we rally with the season on the line?
  13. As long as it isn’t the Astros (which it won’t be) it’s not sad at all.
  14. Framber is bleeding millions.
  15. Limp dick start to this series. Get’em tomorrow.
  16. Not much fight tonight. Sigh.
  17. On the back porch with steaks on the grill. FIGHT!
  18. Man... y'all crazy, but I like you. This is how we set ourselves up for unrealistic expectations and ruin our Saturday experience. When we "need" to do something that has only happened 9 times in the 131-season history of this program (and five of those happened before 1917) to "prove" something, we are going to have a bad time. Hell, we've only scored more than 60 points 30 times in the history of this program. That's fewer than once every four seasons.
  19. Playoffs start today. If you (Espada) treat it differently, you're wrong.
  20. So at worst we will be tied with the M’s at the start of this weekend. Nut-cuttin’ time.
  21. You wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts... There is nothing wrong with the Astro medical and training staff. Shit happens.
