  1. It's ok, we can still get the same rate on our auto insurance as Aaron Rodgers.

    His last action was the game vs. Honduras. Has been sidelined since. If his first action back is vs Mexico, I agree, he should have his minutes heavily limited as a super sub kind of role.

    I didn't think Chelsea would have a choice - isn't that the rule? Of course, they can always fake an injury and for CP's long term health, I think sitting this window out would be best.
  4. Abrams wasn't really a PG either. Either way, I'll play along. If we're just picking the best 5 players: TJ, Bradley, KD, Lamarcus, Bamba If we're picking the best 5 players as Longhorns: TJ, Mays or Freeman, Damion, Lamarcus, Mihm
  5. Bottom right, lose the skyline. Basically, the exact same as it currently is, for fucks sake.
  6. When SAS (maybe it was KLM...) ran flights for SxSW, you could get cheap tickets on the opposite flights. If that's any indication, I bet you could do the same here. Though I wonder if Lufthansa and KLM start back their regular service, does BA run special ops flights for F1 anymore? That would be a lot of trans-Atlantic capacity, even for F1 weekend.
  7. For any of you plane spotters in town, there are about to be 4 BA jets on the tarmac at AUS at once. One 787-9 left overnight by the south terminal plus these 3:

    Aaronson, rightfully so, should be going to a top 5 club in a top 5 country and expect to start. He's about to make a McKennie to Juventus kind of move without the "that's surprising" tag associated with it. Him and Pepi are about to make some headlines.

    Richards is going to be a star but CBs are like offensive lineman - they need some seasoning before they're really ready.

    If the keeper doesn't deflect it, it doesn't go in the goal. That's the very definition of an own goal. Hits post. If keeper isn't there, it bounces back into play. But he is there and redirects it back into the post and then it carroms with spin into the goal. Without the keeper there, it's not a goal.

    So Arriola plays 180 minutes.

    Aaronson has turned into an auto-start, it's amazing how quick he has ascended. Both him and Adams have a knack for being in the right place at the right time, just on different ends of the field. A. Robinson, as has been said before but worth repeating, is finally our answer at LB. He doesn't have the attacking prowess that Dest and Yedlin do on the right, but he's pretty damn reliable and dependable. Adams is great at putting out fires, but so is McKennie, Musah, and Busio. It's so great to finally have a midfield that can reliably play the entire pitch. Our CBs still do mind blowing boneheaded things at times. At least it was only one thing this time? We're a work in progress, have yet to play more than 45m straight of solid futbol, still make mistakes and yet sit 2nd in the table. All that with Gergg at the helm. I'll take it.

    That's not awful which is the best we could have hoped for.

    The odds of Gerg (or any coach really) picking the crowd favorite lineup is pretty slim at the international level and if Steffen over Turner is the most egregious thing Gerg does today, I'm going to be bouncing off the walls with joy. But we all know that's not going to happen. Also, that Zeke video makes me miss Ian Darke calling our games.
  16. I guess $1500-$2000 including the materials? I've been chipping away at it since August so it definitely took some time. I've never done a paid for job so all I'm thinking is "can I make enough money to buy another tool" (in this case, being a jointer with a longer bed)? Yup!

  17. It was a bit wobbly so I built any extra brace (not shown) but yea, that thing isn't going to break. Close up of potentially too much clamp game:
  18. Kiddo broke her bed so naturally I built her a new one to her spec - half loft so she can have a reading nook and some storage underneath the bed (8 ft ceilings with a fan, so dimensions were tight). It's not done yet - still have to build her a bank of drawers to slide under the bed but I need some time to relax... This was quite the undertaking. ~$800 worth of rough, clear Alder. A little pink/green tourmaline (her birthstone). A coat of Rubio Monocoat Cornsilk and this is how it ends (along with some in progress pics):
  19. We were young and stupid.

    John Brooks and Pepi on the same team - might have to go get a Wolfsburg jersey. It could serve double duty for Austin FC games.
  21. Fun story - this dude bought my house (we sold to someone who sold to FCB).

    What a perfect photo to encapsulate the shit show that this weekend was

    People get caned for chewing gum in Singapore. Starting Paul fucking Arriola in two highly important matches in a row is a much worse offense, even to fine people of Singapore This choad of a coach should be caned.
  24. I can still think "at least we're not stuck with Jimbo for 50% more" and smile a little. It's the little things.
