  1. Sweet return. Near the end it looks like there are at least 20 players for each team on the field. Amazing he made it through.
  2. About 10 years ago I finally came to the realization that the Cowboys had become the Raiders with Jerry taking the role of Al Davis. Entertaining from time to time but never will be a real threat for winning consistently. I still watch the games if nothing else is going on and even hope that they win but I have no expectations whatsoever. Really like Dak and hope that his career doesn't end up being wasted. Last night when they opted for a 58 yard FG down by 25 rather than going for it was my signal it was time to turn the TV off. At least the horns have been disappointing for a decade also so I have that going for me.
  3. Went to the Stanford vs OK State Fiesta Bowl several years ago (my 9 year old at the time was a big Andrew Luck fan) While there walking through the concourse saw Jim Plunkett taking a pic with an elementary aged OK State fan holding a sign that said, "My dad's secretary went to Stanford". Pretty funny visual as the kid surely had no idea who Plunkett was and Plunkett had full failed smile.
  4. anybody else remember these NC State girls from back in the day...
  5. ChiTown and Urb photo
  6. that sucks
  7. So, my son has football game scheduled for Friday night in Beaumont. Any thoughts of how likely that may be?
  8. So La Joya has two 6A high schools (LJHS and LJJuarez-Lincoln) and also a 5A (LJ Palmview) high school. The town's population shows to be around 4,500 people. How is that possible?
  9. Hopefully when baseball season ends, globe life will stop sponsoring this and it will die an abrupt death.
  10. 60% 80% 100% of those girls can no longer gain acceptance to the 40 acres so the daily talent parade will unfortunately be lost for the foreseeable future. I, for one, do not think this makes us a better university on the balance. and 2,3,1,4,5
  11. Back in the day, MNF was the highlight of the football week. It's certainly lost some magic but we'll always have Cosell and Dandy Don.
  12. You lost me right here. ha ha It's like you've never been here before
  13. That's great. Is she a January 2021 entry or an auto admit for Fall 2021? I didn't think they were "accepting" Fall 2021 yet. Either way congrats!!
  14. Crazy if they really only have 30ish players. Back in day we'd have at least 45-50 on Varsity and an equal amount on JV.
  15. Grew up in Brownwood. I saw that the HC has been on quarantine the last couple of weeks after the local radio guy (Dallas Huston) tested Covid positive a day after having interviewed Coach Burnett. I think HC has continued to test negative but wanted to stay away from the team for the full 14 days. The interim has been the DC, they have failed to reach 200 yards of offense in either of the last two games. HC and DC were friends of mine in HS. The QB is a sophomore and is the son of the DC who has been the interim the last 2 weeks. Seems like a mess. I feel bad for them. The district was expected to be tough this year but Alvarado and Stephenville and obviously Brownwood seem to be down a little. Burnet (non-district) is next.
  16. Had lunch with a friend yesterday who told me that his daughter who is a college Freshman (not UT) tested positive last Friday. She and her roommate and suitemates have been hanging out with 4 or 5 others for the last few weeks. Mid-week last week (Sept 1st or 2nd) one of the guys started having symptoms and tested positive. The rest of the group got tested (no symptoms) and all but one tested positive. Now they have all been moved to the "isolation" apartments on campus where they continue to hang out, do virtual class and have meals delivered to them multiple times per day. The original guy who tested positive is still the only one with any symptoms. None of the others would have been tested had the first one not had symptoms and tested positive. Strangely the positive cases are isolated for 10 days or 3 days after symptoms cease (whichever is longer) but the negative case is isolated for 14 days.
  17. I'm planning on testing out Sling for their 3 day free trial. Having said that, I am unclear on whether it will include LHN in the basic orange package or if I need to add the "sports extra" package. Any sling users in Texas that can verify if I need the "sports extra" package or not?
  18. The Chilito says hi I have also been a decades long fan of the Mexican Pizza from the Bell. Will definitely go get one before they disappear. [csb] in college (30ish years ago) one night at half time of a game at the Erwin Center my buddy hit a half court shot and the prize was a $100 taco bell gift certificate. After the game 4 of us went to Taco Bell. When we found out that the gift certificate was a "use it all at once" type deal we were undaunted. This was in the time of the 49 cent tacos, 59 cent bean burritos and 89 cent chilitos. We finished it all but I didn't shit right for a month. My normal Taco Bell intake probably cut in half immediately after that night and I bet I've gone less than 1x per year for the last 25 years. [/csb]
  19. 15% price cut on current bike in advance of new version roll out. https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/08/tech/peloton-new-products/index.html Beginning Wednesday, its core bike will cost $1,895 — a $350 reduction — with the monthly financing rate dropping $9 to $49 a month. With a slightly more attractive price point, Peloton (PTON) wants to maintain its blockbuster year and enlist new members even as gyms across the United States reopen. Peloton is also moving upscale with a new model, called the Bike+. For $2,495, the new bike has a larger screen to stream its classes, enhanced speakers and a new feature that automatically changes the resistance depending on the teacher's instructors. The screen can also be titled so customers can do complete workouts on the floor for its new total workout classes. A new, full-body workout class that includes the bike and weights launches September 15. Existing members can trade in their working bikes for a $700 credit to use on the Bike+.
  20. Had a fletcher's and fried okra for lunch today. Pretty nice Friday if you ask me. The mustard packet was definitely Heinz. A beer in a wax cup and a snaggletooth meth head to make fun of would have taken things to 11.
