  1. Cliff must’ve loved that veto comp. I don’t know how he kept from being distracted the whole time.
  2. Lol I brought this point up to my wife and i definitely got a look. Her over the top girl power act was kinda grating to me, but apparently saying it out loud means you’re totally against women’s empowerment.
  3. My brother is the only person I really know that did the whole commissioned officer thing, but based on that, almost all the posts here and especially this one are totally accurate.
  4. $50 for PlayStation Vue with their sports package solves all these problems.
  5. Sweat is a goddamn giant. That dude is going to be a freak.
  6. Anyone have any experience with these or the Insignias? Looking for a new tv and that’s a great price.
  7. At 28, I’ve had an interesting experience with UT quarterbacks. The first season I ever really watched college football was when i was 12-13, watching us win the rose bowl against Michigan. From then I was “hooked”, if you will. Watched the whole 04-05 season as a HS freshman and won many bets against wannabe Aggies about us winning games and the NC that season. Not sure any athlete could bring the amount of joy VY gave me that year. Solidified that I wanted to go to UT (outside of the academic rep of course) Fast forward and colt was the QB my freshman year at UT. 3rd and whatever was almost never in doubt with that dude, and we ride he and Shipley to the NC game. I’ll always have a great fondness for colt especially after my next three years had GG, case, and a smattering if non-concussed David ash. Looking at it now, though, if we were to win an NC after all the shit we’ve been through the last 10 years, if Sam were to win an NC he very well may jump to the top of my list. While he as an individual may not be the automatic 3rd down converter (unless shirt yardage) like colt or VY were, he has that trait of being able to get everyone so jacked up that his team won’t let him down and we haven’t had that kind of confidence since 09. Consider that he also didn’t have the teams that VY or Colt did around him and to me it’s all the more impressive. Plus, I love the cocky attitude, I guess.
  8. I have several friends and a brother in law that live in NO that have been saying pretty much all weekend this was a big nothing burger. Obviously some areas got some water but man, they (national news etc) talked about this sucker like it was going to Harvey all over N.O.
  9. For a second I read this as “high BBQ IQ” and i actually agreed with you.
  10. Any idea how things would be looking for a Friday day trip to Galveston? No rain in the forecast so far
  11. These Dallas dudes really love Samples
  12. We had a housekeeper/babysitter type that used to make grilled cheese like that for my brother and me when we were kids. My palette was not yet refined enough to know any difference, all I know is that she made some bad ass grilled cheeses sandwiches. On another note, the DQ in my town would put a couple of pickle slices on top of their bread in the grilled cheese before they put it in the paper sandwich bag. I’m not sure if all DQs did this or if it was just my town, but that buttered bread soaked with a little bit of pickle juice right on top, almost always right in the middle, is one of those cherished things from my childhood that i don’t think I’ll ever be able to shake.
  13. I’ve come to the conclusion that no one in this house knows what they are doing at all. That was some really bad game play
  14. My LaTech buddy said I should take it as a joke, and that he’s definitely wasted after hosting his golf tournament today. Apparently he made fun of LSU last year after his tournament. Regardless, I don’t think that’s something you want to say about Sam. He chose poorly.
  15. Your first paragraph is more or less true, from my experience last year right around this time. Tons of Asians, but they mostly just clog up the main touristy path so you can avoid them if you don’t go full blown idiot tourist. What we found was key was staying in Firostefani, about a ten min walk south of Fira. Still great restaurants within a minute or two walk, much less crowded, and the walk to Fira to catch a bus to Oia was like ten minutes. Oia was crowded but still pretty neat, there’s a great book store there Amoudi Bay was also pretty cool to check out but maybe not worth the trek. Otherwise, we rented a four wheeler to hit the black beach and that was pleasant. We also did a daytime catamaran that basically just turns into a booze cruise with swimming stops and lunch, which was probably my favorite activity of our whole trip. I’m glad we went, because we went to Naxos next which was very laid back so it was nice to do a little bit of both.
  16. Fuckin eh right? Dere you Americans go wit yer trumps America, lettin a club from canada win the whole darn thing huh!
  17. Then you have east Texas where everyone is more or less cool with each other as long as you can say “903!” (similar to SEC chants now that I think about it), and everyone kinda just wishes they were closer to Dallas. I grew up never thinking I’d want to move to Houston, that it sucked, etc. Living here now, though, i love it.
  18. Pretty sure that was referenced when referring to Looneys injury. Edit: Im an idiot
  19. Tried this for lunch today... this thing was like a damn burrito. Seriously, it was substantial. It was fucking delicious, but it would not be in any regular rotation for me. Would be great after a night of drinking. Doublewide indeed.
  20. Thanks. Saw that thread after I posted here. My brother has some various, random connections through which he heard the singer’s issue was H, and the the bassist apparently too.
  21. So what’s the word about Turnpike splitting up? Lead singer and bassist both strung out on H? I was going to go to their show in Houston a couple weeks ago but they cancelled. Sad i didn’t see them at the rodeo.
  22. Someone find youdunnf’dup and ask him if the warriors still need Durant or not
