    There was reports when he transferred here that he didn't see eye to eye with UGA medical staff regarding the injury he had in 2022. He felt they wanted him to play hurt, they questioned his toughness

    Not toughness. Commitment to his reality.

  2. Not gonna say negative shit but whatever you can imagine with Ad's condition that would cause teams to skip may be why he is dropping. No word on attitude. Sucks but he has to do better.

    Just when I was starting to hate the Chiefs again -- after enjoying the Chiefs with Derrick, Priest and Jamaal -- they re-start the Longhorn pipeline.

    Guess I may starting secretly rooting again.

    No love for Omenihu? Shiiit. That's lame.

    My daughter is applying to be a lifeguard at the neighborhood pools. Hopefully it works out well

    Don't they have to get certified still? I had to be a certified lifeguard for a job I had back in the day teaching sailing at a summer camp. I swim like a fish, but holy shit that course was brutal. I guess I was 15 when I did the course, it was not something I would have done if I knew what it took. I only did it because I got to drive a motorboat around all day, swim and teach sailing.

    anybody got the vax stats for the southern turnstiles   border? I'm going to guess they aren't very high

    Anybody got the IQ for this douchebag poster? I am going to guess they aren't very high.

    So, the total storage capacity of Lake Travis is just under two MILLION acre feet.  Excavation has varying costs -- can be as low as a few thousand an acre foot, to $20k per acre foot, and maybe more depending on topography.  Let's go with a conservative number like $10k per acre foot.  AND, you have to have someplace to dispose of all that removed earth/rocks (let's be clear, it's mostly rocks in Lake Travis, which is MUCH harder to excavate.

    Let's say we wanted to add 10% to the LT capacity -- that's 200,000 a.f..  The excavation cost alone, at $10k a.f., would be $2 billion.  And that's before we've paid a penny to haul the rock away, much less paid for a place to haul it TO (200k a.f.....means that if LCRA bought 10,000 acres of land (a pretty big purchase), it would have to cover that land in spoil/rock TWENTY FEET HIGH.

    Large-scale excavation of a reservoir -- large enough to make a difference -- just isn't a cost-effective venture.

    That's it. Turn Ranger loose and give them a year, they will do some damage. The real question is how do you pay for the haul off and where the hell do you put that much dirt? It will never happen.

    My theory is that in the past 20 years 49 other states have been sending their crueler inhabitants to Texas. So no matter what the locals do, there's always another dollop of assholes moving in, buying hats and lone star decor. Howdy you guyss.

    Dad of one of the kids on my sons baseball team was this guy. Fully decked out in patriotic or Texas centric gear everytime I see him. Talking to him one day he was gushing on Texas and shitting on a bunch of other states. I figured he was a lifer Texan that grew up on a rural farm/ranch the way he acted. Turns out he just moved to Texas in '22 from Southern California where he was born and raised. Yeehaaw there fakeass cowboy.
