  1. No way I'm paying those rates. The skeleton can't even grip the gears.
  2. Aggy game could be Colorado Big 12 championship vs. Simms. Just need to sub Manning earlier in the game than Mack did with Applewhite. And don't rough the punter...
  3. So now fans that have nothing to do with aggy or their opponent not only go to a game, but also post about the wonderful experience. They need to go to the Texas game, wear Texas gear, and then let's see what they post.
  4. So then what coach and program is he talking about?
  5. it wasn't always private. The neighborhood voted to make the streets private a number of years ago, but well after the light was installed.
  6. Or only 2 drives. But yeah, I get what you are saying. Dual threat would have helped. Mobility and the ability to roll out would have helped.
  7. Yep. My bad.
  8. and no rain in over a month. Need something tropical (not hurricane) to come this way.
  9. Aggy math??
  10. Yeah. Quit taking away lanes and roads. We can't adequately maintain the parks we have. But let's create more.
  11. View to a Kill is by far the best James Bond movie.
  12. Shocking that something with essentially a tarp for a cover did not make it through a hurricane.
  13. I find this surprising given the number of hurricanes and tropical storms that have hit that area over the years.
  14. What do these idiots think will happen to housing cost when the cheap labor goes away?
  15. a big bag of dicks is Venables best loved meal he gobbles them down
  16. No. For those you need to start at Austin and draw a line east and west (right/left or side to side, your preference). Make sure and use a different color crayon than the north/south line to avoid confusion. Everything below the line is South Texas and everything above it is North Texas. Except for Commerce. That's East Texas as previously explained.
  17. Yeah, retrofitting is absolutely cost prohibitive. But for new developments, it's not as simple as adding the electric to the mix. Completely separate trench - water, wastewater, storm, gas, and electric/telecom all have their own trenches, for the most part. Some areas you can have gas and electric in the same trench. Typical new subdivision will run you $5000-7500 per lot for gas and electric/telecom install, depending on if rock or dirt. And then there are the fees most electric providers charge on top of that - typically another $4-5000 per lot. But talking with Austin Energy a couple of years ago after the snow storm and then the ice storm, they estimated over $25k per house to take NW Hills underground...
  18. Lines are pretty much buried in all new developments now, regardless of neighborhood location. Most of the utilities require it.
  19. Tend to agree, though Tanya Tucker - Texas (When I Die) might be worth a shot.
  20. Still trying to figure out how the crowd was able to figure out the Texas Fight chant for so many years, but now all of a sudden we need field mike dude to start it. And the PA announcing first down...Texas...and the crowd is to respond Fight is very Bayloresque. They do this because it's about all they have to celebrate. We shouldn't.
  21. Brent Venables gets daiquiris from the Eskimo Hut...
  22. the rollercoaster in the background is perfection.
  23. Brent Venables eats his own dingleberries. Brent Venables thinks Graham Harmon is an outstanding sports journalist.
  24. Walked into the Broken Spoke on a mid-week night around 35 years ago with my now wife and some friends to have a couple of beers. Maybe 20 people in the entire place and no band. After about an hour in walks Willie, Kris, Doug Sahm, and a couple of others I don't remember. They proceeded to play for about 3 hours, asking what we wanted to hear. Epic night.
