  1. For years I would book a hotel stay at the Westin on the east side, free parking and shuttle to the airport. Sometimes I would book a room and not even spend the night. Anyhow they cut that shit out.

     

    Any other options/hacks yall have found?

    There should really be no question that Texas A&M football has one of the best home field advantages in the conference. The Aggies have the largest stadium in the conference, and they have consistently performed much better at home than they have on the road, even if the overall record hasn't been the same as a place like Georgia or Alabama.

     

     

     

    AI says they are .42 winning percentage on the road vs SEC, and .52 at home.  Winning .52 at home....yea, best home field advantages.  At least Graham doesnt have to worry about his sheep not fact checking him.

    Vasher was better than Huff and Ross in my opinion.  I think Barron was too.  Earl Thomas was better than all of them but only had the one outstanding year.

    Nathan Vasher give me a break!

    I use Shreveport as my home airport.

    I have been on multiple flights with Tim Brando and have set next to him several times and have talked sports from on the flight.  Despite the opinion of him on here (all not entirely wrong) and what he gets caught up saying on the broadcast, he does speak favorably about Texas on a personal level.

    Back when he was still alive, I shared a few flights with Eddie Robinson, the former HC at Grambling University.  He was one of the nicest persons I have ever met.  He would often invite Grambling alums or students to an event that he was going to.

    I sat next to the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson several times and exchanged small talk.  The last time was about a week before he was elected as Speaker.  Haven't seen him since for obvious reasons.

    Shared a flight with former President Jimmy Carter coming back from South Africa.  Once airborne, he walked through the plane introducing himself and shaking everyone's hand.

    Have sat next to former MLB player and HoFer Lee Smith a few times as well.

    I did not know Tim Brando was from Shreveport.  I too fly out of Shreveport often when I am headed to the East Coast. 

    Oh, and top stay on topic, I think Johntay practiced yesterday.

    I always wonder what the point of these is. Shit was cheaper 34 years ago? You don't say. Shit was also cheaper in 1957 than it was in 1991. Crazy.

    But a 32" Sony WEGA 600 pound TV cost $1500 back then.

    Is that video flipped? Or was it shot in England?

    And yeah, the motorcyclist is either dead, or want to be dead when he gets the bill.

     

    I never understood speeders who weaving in and out of traffic. A BMW almost almost hit me over the weekend. He probably got within 3 feet of me going 20+ miles over the speed limit. Idiot was racing an Audi.

    Dang, an Audi that wasnt in the shop?  That is wild.

    Early 90's were even worse.

    Everyone looked like Mike Alstott

    Truth. 

    Also, it made me google PGs senior year (1992) and went to the wiki page.  Any of you edit wiki pages?  The team went 6-5 that year with only about 15-20 players on the team and 3 coaches. Not bad! 😂

    looks like the snoopy dog 

    All black people look the same?  That's Derrick Rose. However, I am looking at it on my phone and it could also be Owen Wilson.
