  1. I’m in a playoff pool where the participants pick a lineup at each stage with the caveat being you can only select a player one time. This is only my second year playing in a pool like this, so I’m interested in hearing/discussing any strategy. There are multiple layers of complexity when selecting a lineup (e.g., likelihood of generating fantasy points vs. not advancing, probability of scoring more points in the earlier rounds vs. the conference championship or Super Bowl, saving a player who ends up not advancing). Has anyone done one of these playoff pools?
  2. This makes me feel better about giving up 2nd.
  3. Make that coffee to go
  4. Don’t you mean Hawaiian Punch?
  5. I considered going with Georgia (one of my nephews graduated from there); however, I wanted a chance at 1st.
  6. BottleRock just announced the 2023 lineup. Looking forward (at first glance) to RHCP, Duran, Pumpkins, Wu, Sheryl Crow, Japanese Breakfast, Mike Campbell, Los Lobos, and War. Any recommendations on the rest of the lineup?
  7. TCU or Georgia? Four players have a chance to finish in the money with three having a shot at 1st, depending on the picks.
  8. My wife and I got married in Austin on November 5, 2005 (her father was diagnosed with cancer, so we chose Baylor weekend), so we had been married for only a couple of months. She and I had tickets to the game; however, she got a horrible cold a day before we our flight to LA. The next day she didn’t feel any better (couldn’t even get out of bed) and knew she wouldn’t be able to go. I said “Sorry, baby” and left for the airport. She would have done the same thing. csb…In 2020, when there were no sports during the early part of the pandemic, she and I watched the game like it was live. We were yelling and cheering throughout. Our kids thought we were crazy.
  9. Not many weather issues in Oakland. Don’t keep anything of value in your rental car.
  10. The Tavern Bowl at House Park
  11. Would Georgia beat 2004 USC? How about the 85 Bears?
  12. I’m doing a re-watch, as well. Just finished the episode in which Henri was introduced.
  13. I’m still recovering from our drive from Houston to Oakland.
  14. Looks like 4 people have a chance to finish in the money (1st or 2nd) Jameslaw Quinn Ewer’s Haircut Me MNLonghorn (best possible finish is 2nd) If we all pick Georgia and they win, it will be James and me finishing 1-2. Let the game of wits begin!
  15. And the party seats
  16. Nothin burps like bacon
  17. Who doesn’t like Shawshank? Are you an ex-con?
  18. I’m a man (52!), so I don’t expect anything other than new Longhorns clothes that I pre-approved. My wife likes skull jewelry, so I bought her this amulet and necklace:
  19. All I took from the post was that CHIEF and his wife ate each other out when times were tough. Admittedly, I’ve been drinking since 2 so my comprehension skills are limited at the moment.
  20. She dates losers, not assholes. I would like to point out that she is a very nice and kind person. She was just raised in an environment where she was given everything she wanted.
  21. My wife has an aunt and uncle who have done very well in radio (they own 30+ radio stations). Their daughter, late 30s, has been living off them since graduating college. Although she has a job now (prestigious yet low-paying), her NYC apartment is paid for by her parents (she moved out of her parent’s home about 8 years ago), she gets money put into her account every month, and all leisure travel is covered. Super smart person; however, she lives in an alternate reality compared to others. My wife’s other cousins who live in the area are always asking them for money and expect them to pay for family vacations.
  22. In 10 years, The Rock will do a re-make of The Terminator
  23. We’re going to be in town for the holidays and want to take the kids to their first Longhorns basketball game. Closer to the floor, the better.
