    Appeal it. Several of my kids' friends were capped, appealed, and then got in.

     

     

    Thanks. As of now that is our plan. She has some other great options, but UT is most likely where her twin ends up. She was 5/5 on acceptances, so she’s just emotional at the moment.

    I dropped from a 2.6 to a 2.2. That's some legit bullshit ~18% change in 'cap.

     

    I'm living proof that low handicaps and hosel-tovs can co-exist. Ask several on this thread. Downrange and hard right is not a safe place to stand, esp when I'm first warming up.

    15% drop sir.

  3. What everyone said.  Wife and I have been to Ireland two of the last three summers and drove.  You get used to it quickly.  Roundabouts are awesome, but I do recommend checking out the youtube videos.  Common sense, but it helped to see it.

    Side Note-

    Jan. 18th or 25th is what I was told by Council/Mayor's staff.  Half a Saturday to sit and listen to what these fuckers want to do about using more bond money on homeless issues.  And as usual, I'll bring up maybe spending some of it on mental health/addiction services, partnering with UT School of Social Work, and partnering with Central Health.  And as usual, they'll say we need to find more unused bond money for buying more real estate.  For just $500,000, UT can get a match grant at 3:1 and put $2mm and 50 students deployed as case workers on 200 homeless with recorded histories of violence and mental illness.  APD said they'd send officers with the case workers for security and the meetings can take place either on campus or downtown because those cops see this as a much better use of their time and being proactive kinda helps with crime.  But as usual, the Mayor won't hear of it.  He won't give the state money for something the state should be doing for Austin.  I tried explaining, yes it's technically going to the state, but it's UT School of Social Work.  

    This fucking imbecile.  He is in a race to the bottom. 

    That is really disappointing.

    Thought you lived in Hickory...

    On a related note, I did play basketball in a couple of the gyms used in the movie.  Some of those gyms were still used by junior highs when I was there in the 80s.  Also watched some of the filming when I was a senior in high school.

  6. Grew up in Sheridan, Indiana, population around 2,000.  About 45 minutes to Indianapolis, but might as well be a different country.  Got out as soon as I could, and no way I could live there again.  Been in Austin since 1991.  I'm sure there are other small towns I could live in that would be awesome, but not that one.

    You should never be going back to the tee. When in doubt, you should be hitting provisionals off the tee (they’re free if you don’t need them).

     

    If you’re not playing by the rules, there’s no reason to keep your handicap, as it’s illegitimate and you’re cheating if you use it in a tourney

    While technically true, if you aren’t playing stroke and distance on OB or lost balls, you are giving yourself a lower handicap than what you should, so I wouldn’t view that as cheating in a tourney. It’s a vanity handicap, the exact opposite of sandbagging. 
     

    Also, when I’m playing with friends and I have a lost ball or an OB that I didn’t hit a provisional for (due to a miscalculation of where the ball went), I’m certainly not headed back to the tee to re-tee (unless big money involved and my ball may count). 

  8. Player I thought the top 6% was set by grades at end of junior year. I didn’t think they went back and looked at it again. Am I wrong?

     

    I ask because my daughter missed it by 3 spots based on grades at end of junior year, and I thought that was it for auto admit. 

  9. My son just got admitted into Cockrell. He is pumped. He hears from MIT tomorrow, and is admitted into Michigan State and Colorado School of Mines so far. His twin sister is waiting to hear from the College of Liberal Arts at UT, and is admitted to Hendrix, Trinity and Willamette so far.

    I did Dallas to dumas and then dumas to ft Collins by hitting i25 in raton, nm. Each was about 6 hours iirc. 
    Austin to Amarillo I’m guessing would be 9-10 hours?

    Austin to Amarillo is about 7-8 with minimal stops and good weather.

    played a 4 hour session yest  

    was a card rack that manged to still lose money. 

    early on called a UTG $15 raise with AsTx, as the BB when there were 4 callers. flop was low spade, low spade, 8x. it checks around. turn is Ks,   I check, UTG makes it $20, 3 callers including me.    Qs on river, I check,  last to act goes all in ($56)with Js, I call, everyone folds.   

    called another $10 raise by BB with 3 callers with T8. flop comes 6-4-3, I check, BB bets $10, 2 callers and I call just to float 1 card.  comes a full rainbow 7. 

    BB bets out $20 and everyone calls.  Ive got a double gutter, so fuck it.   river is the 9.    I  lead for $40..... no one fucking calls.   That bet size shouldnt have scared everyone off unless the whole world had nothing. 

    I have 89 on the button, call a UTG $10 raise with 3 others, comes 5-6d-7d. checks to me, I bet $15... everyone folds. 

    The same guy I felted with the nut flush only has $15 left and shoves, gets 3 callers, including me as UTG with 2-2.     2 on the flop, It checks around. 9 on the turn, I bet $15, only 1 caller.  river is another 9.    I bet $20..... and  A9 just smooth calls. 

    As BB I call a $15 MP bet with AJ,   flop is 5-7-5. I lead out for $15. original raiser calls, all else fold. Turn is J. 

    I check call $20.  river is an A.   I leadout for $30,  and A7 folds faceup. 

    and the craziest one,  I get AA early position. Make it $15, get only 1 caller.  flop is As-7s-X.  I bet $15, he calls.  turn is a 7.  I check, hoping he has a 7.... he checks behind. 

    river is the case A.  fuck.    I bet out $25  he thinks a while, and folds.    sigh. 

    all those decent wins and i lose  $150 on a bomb pot  where the top board is TTT, and bottom board is J-J-9. 

    I am early position with QQ,  first to acts bets $25,  I call to see whats going on. For some reason, MP shoves, it folds around to me. so I know this guy doesnt have both boards.  I call and he shows KT.... we all know what the bottom turn card was right.... yeah the 3 outer K.  and the river throws my 2 outer up on the top fking board.    Pay him off. 

    the big killer was me having QQ again. Im UTG, I limp because 4 guys to my left normally raise... nope. 5 callers to a KQT rainbow flop.   SB bets $10, I call, so do 3 others.  I only called here because I sure as hell am not blowing almost any J off the hand, and obviously no one is putting me on a set of queens.  turn is relative low brick but putting a backdoor flush draw out.   

    SB bets $21.   I raise to $60.  folds to SB who takes a really long time, and makes it $165.     He is easily capable of doing this with a combo J flush draw, Top 2, and especially if he turned a set. And the chances of AJ are nil, absolutely nil, this player raises any ace pre-flop every fucking time he's dealt one.    

    I take a bit and decide I am going to make him pay for the draw and  shove... he snaps and rolls over J9 of course.   no 10 outer for me.   -$325 on that hand.   I do make back a lot of it.   finish the session down $80. 

    Did you play early afternoon on Sunday?
