    guess this is the most current active thread…
     

    Anyone a member at Riverbend sugarland?  Debating between it and Westwood. 

    I was a member at RB for a while.  I got too busy to ever play golf, so cancelled.   It is an old school men's golf club.     If you have a wife that wants to do "country club" stuff, it is an after thought there. 

    Its been quite a while since i played Westwood, but i preferred RB.

  2. From CTJ's spoiler-ed article:  regarding transfers:

    Interior Oline -  How big of a need  "Medium"   The next sentence "This unit is loaded with depth and experience"

    Off Tackle -      How big of a need "Low "  The next sentence "Do not be surprised if the aggies add an offensive tackle transfer during the spring window from what i have heard, they will be looking."

  3. From a Washington Post article after the collapse.   Yes they knew for years and ignored the engineering professors.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1999/12/19/from-why-to-how-at-texas-a38/45ea21bd-f43c-411a-9993-b287c68596f4/

    Pulled the important quote

    "Since the catastrophe, which occurred a week before Thanksgiving, A&M engineering professor Loren D. Lutes has criticized the stack design, noting that a now-retired A&M colleague had argued for years that the design was "fatally flawed," the Dallas Morning News reported recently. Lutes outlined the flaws in an e-mail message to A&M President Ray Bowen shortly after the collapse, according to the newspaper, which obtained a copy of the message.

    Referring to former professor T.J. "Teddy" Hirsch, who retired in the early 1990s, Lutes told Bowen, "Many structural engineering faculty members are well aware of Teddy's unsuccessful attempt to have the design of the stack altered." He said there was a "general agreement" among A&M engineers that "something [is] wrong with the fundamental arrangement of the stack," causing it to be "unstable.""

    Me thinks Ferrari is letting the wrong driver go.

    They didn’t let the wrong driver go, They shouldn't have let either driver go.

    That’s true. But there is also a fundamental culture difference between (most of) the Japanese car companies and the rest of the world.

    Mazda, Honda, Toyota, and Subaru have implemented the world renowned Toyota quality system, and ingrained it into the culture. They are large enough to get the advantage of that quality system.

    I worked in one of the largest non-auto maker companies that implemented the Toyota quality system and it really does make a big difference. It was interesting to see a non Japanese person take over Nissan and basically run their quality into the ground. 

    Do you even IATF 16949 bro?

  6. We have an advantage now, quite a bit of it because of work put in by people on this thread.    I want a decade and 4-5 National championships with what amounts to the same advantage Bama has had for a decade plus.     After that, then we can talk about limits/salary caps etc.   Until then fuck them all - join Texas One.

    We cant have it both ways folks. We cant clown on Barnes for 15 years for sucking dick in the tournament and then cry 

    We most certainly can (I agree with you)

  8. Its a good football move vs Henry getting 9M and Barkley getting 12-14M.   I also like it as it means we are no longer only looking at boyscouts like when Daddy was alive.

    All that being said, it feels gross and hope it is just for one year. And if he snaps his ankle on the last play from scrimmage next year, that wont bother me at all.

    He's raced Yuki a grand total of 6 times, so not exactly a large sample size.  Never mind they're both driving tractors out there.  Last year he scored as many points in 4 races as Yuki scored all season, and he scored those points in 1 race.  I don't think Danny's on top form by any stretch, but I find it hard to crap on anyone's results driving for the bottom 5 teams - they're all shit cars.  

    They raced 7 times last year - 2 times this year, so 9 times.     Also Yuki scored 17 points last year, Ric scored 7 (all at mexico).    Yuki also scored in 4 races when Ric was in the race when he didn't get a point.  

    Yuki has consistently been better.     Ric is closer to losing his seat than he is taking Perez' spot.   Not that Yuki is getting the call up to the big team any time soon either.    I'm no Yuki fan, i think he is quick, but clearly has the emotional maturity of an eggplant.

  11. My wife bought one for the beach house.   As with most things (frozen margarita machine, instapot, fancy espresso/cappuccino machine).  Its fine, works like is should and will be used a whopping .5 times a year.

    That's just sad. 

     

    edit:  the least ridiculous thing in that pic is the yell leaders in their 1950s sweaters.   That's how embarrassed everyone else in that pic should feel.
