    So you’re building premium seats in the end zone? You guys have more money than god. OSU, TCU, KSU all tore down or completely rebuilt the press box side to add premium. Surely you guys can afford to do the same while keeping the exterior character consistent. USC is doing it in a historic landmark. Put some of that LHN loot and BMD funds to do it right. Don’t go frankenaggy. The stadium at OU is a bit of a frankenstein too. Be the change.

     

    There’s already an east side club and north end zone club. This is next evolution. 

    Having had field seats for last years Texas vs USC game I can say that was a kickass experience. 

    Texas would be foolish to close in south end zone and not have some sort of club.

  2. My house gets all of the street runoff and it pools in front of our driveway and on street directly in front of our house.

    There are no gutters on our street that would allow me to even sweep/blow water into.

    The city is kind of like "tough shit" we won't help. (we have called 311 and had them come out)

    Any ideas? I am considering/looking to find some preform concrete barriers (just to extend out of curb and block at least worst of it) but all that frankly does is back it up to neighbors house which is kind of a dick move.

    I am unsure if I could pay someone to come out and somehow slope the street in front of house differently to direct rainwater to street.

    Thanks in advance for ideas/help.

    preemptive yes I am sure that after all of surly takes a run at my mom I could lay her in front of house and water would flow directly into her well of souls.

    Also to those that are fortunate to get time away by offering to do something for her like fill up on gas... How long before I can start doing that? We're 2 years deep and she insists on going EVERYWHERE with me. Even when she was sick, she insisted she'd come to the store with me but just stay in the car because she doesn't feel like she could handle walking through the store. I ask what the point of that would be and I just get that look and a "but I want to be with you!"

    Start letting epic farts out in the car, make the stench so eye watering, nose hair burning bad she doesn't want to be near you. That'll make it stop.

    cause when you kick someone's ass who was asking for it, you want to make sure to stay behind to render aid?

     

    don't start no shit, won't be no shit.  drunk fuckhead caused the situation.  sucks that he died.  it's not like the coach was looking to punch someone.  fuckhead created the situation.  the coach responded.

    If you hear someone's melon hit a concrete curb and then they are lying lifeless or not moving, you might want to check and see if they are still breathing yes.

    I agree that the drunk guy was acting the fool, not sure how people that were in a car were in that much jeopardy from him however. News reports say the drunk guy knocked on the other guy's window, nothing is saying he attacked the car/tried to force his way in etc

    The coach got out, followed the other dude to the sidewalk and then hit him hard enough to slam him into curb basically causing him to be brain dead. Not sure how much "shit" the tourist really started that would warrant that response.

    After reading I do not agree with your cliff notes. The drunk who was causing a mess and punched a neighbor deserved to have his ass beat. Sadly he dies. 

    Terrible luck for the coach.

    Fair. New information came to light as to inebriated state of uber requestor. 

    Regardless leaving car and punching someone then fleeing scene and failing to render aid is not a good look.

    Yes and No. But in support of this, I DO think we over-complicate things sometimes when talking about offensive play-calling/scheming in the NFL and the Power 5 D1 level. You want good, great coordinators and minds, but if you don't have the right QB, or the right pigs and horses around the "ehh ok" QB etc... (and etc... and etc...), even the good coordinators are going to be made to look like a fool sometimes. 

     

    I think people underestimated how big of a total rebuild this was that Herman walked into, and how, outside of WR, poor of shape this offensive roster was left in. 

    I agree was rebuild BUT Herman also lost two games because he and staff completely overlooked opponent: Maryland - no film study, lots of terrible formations, play calls etc & TT - that goofy ass play on the 1 yd line where Sam faked around and stuff instead of just smash mouthing the ball (shit hand it to Poona if you want to get cute like that)

    Herman needs to take every opponent seriously and realize he cannot sleep on anyone. I don't think he was prepared for how hated UT is by teams that play them and how teams get up for them. No one hates UH, it's just another game.

  7. Congrats to POLL! Super happy for all involved there. My son played there when we lived in Houston. Great times, great facilities and I am glad to see them making it to LLWS.

    I wouldn't be shocked to see the team  from POLL next year make it as well. They are stacked.

    Right, but back then it wasn't illegal for a Congress person to take advantage of information gleaned from the office. 

    Regardless it is using their office for personal gain in a manner that if their constituents did would land them in jail.

    Congress has set themselves above the law in a number of ways: maintaining own insurance plans vs Obamacare, insider trading, sexual harassment practices/rules enforcement.

    Across the board a collection of hypocrites and scumbags. They are the equivalent of police. There may be a couple of good ones but they all enforce the "Blue Line" within the ranks.
