  1. Leaving the bench a few seconds early to go to the locker room or shake hands isn’t a suspension, right? The rule wording is specifically around leaving the bench during a fight.
  2. The pace stats have been startlingly consistent since Shaka has been at Texas...the 2017 team played a little faster on offense but that's arguably attributable to turning the ball over all the time, so I'm not sure that was the intent.
  3. I don’t have a dog in the fight, but Texas played slooooooow last year...316th nationally in tempo. So, evaluating the defense with raw PPG is a pretty poor way to do it. i do think the defense was good last year and think it will be again.
  4. The backcourt is young and the best perimeter defender with the only real game experience at Kansas can't shoot. So there are question marks. Lot of talent, though.
  5. How much does it change the odds for the Wynn rules of “you’ll get 6/5 and like it”?
  6. Yeah, that's crazy. Last year the Warriors were a 3/1 favorite to win the Finals series, this year they're 10/1 and climbing.
  7. He hit a buzzer beater to win in Allen Fieldhouse against a very good KU team, too. Might have been the first of the Texas/SWC teams to get a win there on that shot (if my memory is right).
  8. I wound up at Chuy's for lunch. Not that anybody thinks it's good, but when did it go from below average to totally sucking? The salsa tasted like diced tomatoes.
  9. Well, there you go. 6 makes a lot more sense than double digits.
  10. OU -12 in the RRS is stupid. That will be under a touchdown by kickoff.
  11. You're not missing anything. Oklahoma table games suck balls.
  12. They aren’t discounted by much ever, but BBQ Outfitters usually deals a little on Memorial Day weekend.
  13. This one should be popular. Jimmy V week is basically a time where we show enough respect for cancer that we pretend he wasn’t a slimy douchebag.
  14. Shaw is awesome. You’ve had worse teeth cleanings that a vasectomy from him.
  15. My son is 9 (first year of kid pitch) and has finally stopped having the insta-reaction to get out of the way. Stood in and took two like a GD man this weekend (one against a kid that threw pretty hard) and tried to turn into one other inside one. I was bursting with pride.
  16. I haven't been back since it reopened either, but I share your opinion on there being "better" options.
  17. With your preflop raise, if he's got A-6, A-Q, or A-8 (gross), he might be hoping you have a boat you "can't fold". A couple would be in your range and follow the betting pattern...Q-Q, 6-6. Without a really good read, I think we're beat and have to fold.
  18. Same Suzi's as Anderson/Shoal Creek?
  19. We're not really doing it wrong, the technology is just in its infancy. We're currently carrying around cells phones that look like briefcases, but we'll eventually get to the smart phone. The city driving stuff that we're struggling to solve mostly applies to interstate driving too, we're just very early in the learning/implementation of figuring this stuff out.
  20. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0755VJ33G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I got that guy and love it.
  21. I'm a pretty serious dad about coaching my boy, and it's select baseball...so we're trying to win. But the most important thing he's going to take from sports is handling adversity. How in the hell am I supposed to guide him through that if I'm making excuses and protesting when he gets bet or bitching about balls and strike calls if a kid fans him (which happens all the time...dads are insane about this)?
  22. I liked Waterstreet that was in the building that's now been Sam's Boat for a decade plus. That part of town had no options like it then. You could do a decent piece of fresh fish and a wedge salad for like 8 bucks, and it was close to my office. Still is actually but different office/company.
  23. Didn't even know it was closed, haven't been in forever. That was the site of my first date with the wife, circa 2001.
  24. Good thing they caught him. This guy screams weirdo going on a killing spree.
