  1. Doge Balbay had his moments, but we havent had a pure stud PG since DJ imo. Rowan looks the part, lets hope he is in the vein of Mcclung from Gtown, then Tech, he owned us for like 4-5 games in a row. Colonel Rowan from Hubbard's Message to Garcia is a military legend who is credited with saving Cuba by getting a note in an oilskin pouch to the leader of the insurgents. Mckinley asked for a volunteer and Rowan stepped up. Great , short read about leadership and initiative that should be in every salesman's library. CSB.
  2. BJ Tyler, Travis Mays, Terrence Rencher, TJ Ford, DJ Aug could all handle the ball like a PG and score it. Coleman was spotty, Jacovan Brown inconsistent, both are more recent, but not in the class of the previous guys. Doge Balbay had his moments, but we havent had a pure stud PG since DJ imo.
  3. I'm a big Pulp Fiction fan. IMO this movie set the standard for the out of chronological-order story line. To me, many of the QT films have a bit of noir like feel to them, similar to Nightcrawler. PF also gave new life to Travolta, who went on to do Get Shorty not long after, though PF dwarfed GS in $$. People forget the budget for PF was only $6-$8M iirc, however Miramax did pick it up.

    The judge said something like “you’re moving around a lot for someone who was laid up for several months “
  5. Nope, i worked in college but not at the BB. I was at Texas 88-92 and played on the ‘90 national champ team.
  6. 86" this year recorded along AL gulf coast this year.
  7. That tram in Palm Springs you reference is no joke. IIRC, its the fastest ascent for the amount of elevation it captures. My daughter and I took it several years ago while in PS for a family wedding. We left the others at the Marriott by pool getting sun while we hiked in a decent amount of snow. We went from the pool to snow and back to the pool in about 4 hours.
  8. Ive seen that more this year than ususal, it's the Derrick Johnson chop, ala RRR, reincarnate, to a full blown punch. Later In same game, Tucker makes a 46 yarder look like a PAT.
  9. Did you think : 1. Riley went to Westwood? 2. Ucla is that big of a draw for a guy like CW? 3 you has confused?
  10. Iirc, Rex HAs a foot fetish, got outed somehow, don’t really recall but couldn’t have been too bad , as he’s got a good gig.

    Throw in a stoning and you got yourself a regular Pakistan/India/Afghan/Pennsyltucky
  12. cont'd..... Another nice thing about that Park Station complex is the free bus stops right outside the door. We skied Canyons until 4 sharp one year and didn’t want to make my wife come pick us up, so we took the lift from Canyons Base to bus stop…less than 15 mins later we are in the unit, not bad. No reservations required this year for Park City lift tickets but there are other restrictions ,so do your homework.
  13. We have been to Park City the last 3 years as a family, wife doesn’t ski, so the location of our condo was pretty much #1 priority, as she wanted stuff to do during the day. When we started going there, our kids were 10-14 and we put them in ski school the first 2 trips. It was great for me as I got to single ski a couple days in a row, which is wonderful if you can do it…though I must say watching your kids ‘get it’ is pretty gratifying as well. One of the reasons people go to PC imo is the family friendly environment, ski school and customer service. PC is top notch in my book and I have skied Mammoth, Purgatory, Steamboat, Vail, Alta and a couple other CO resorts on Younglife trips in HS. When you book Ski School through Park City, your package will include lunch and rentals through Legacy Sports. They do a great job of fitting, adjustments if needed etc.. plan on picking your gear up the day before SS starts, usually after 2 pm. IMO, trying to cram it in the morning of will be a huge stresser. You can store Skis and Poles in a locker if you want, back up stairs (Legacy Sports is down the stairs directly across from ticket booth at base), as you exit the main entrance from Legacy sports. Skis are awkward for kids, but it does teach them about hardwork. I would suggest lockers and leave the lessons for later. Park City base has plenty of options for food, but I think it shuts down in the early evening, so plan accordingly if you stay right at the base. The parking is pretty good if you plan on driving, they have a good system for drop offs and two decent size parking lots if you plan on driving to ski each day. Park City does have an extensive free bus system, but we didn’t take it much. As far as places to stay, we stayed directly across the street from the PC base our first year in a less expensive condo. I forget the name, but it was older, had cheap windows and we would not recommend that place. For our first time, it was fine as the wife and kids had no previous experience. We just needed to be able to walk to the base each day. At night we had great views of the mountain until it got too dark, and it was cool knowing the mountain was right there. Here is the downside of staying at the base…it is noisy. PC base is pretty active after 4pm with deliveries, garbage and buses etc..running non-stop….so keep that in mind. From the base, it is walkable to town but with kids, not ideal, who really wants to do that…its probably less a mile to town from the base, but then its another ½-1 mile up and down main street and all the cool side streets, plus you are walking “up” main st at a slight grade, so plan on good winter walking boots, no tennis shoes. The last 2 years we have stayed at Park Station Conds. We have thoroughly enjoyed this complex. This would be my recommendation. It is priced reasonably well for PC. It is literally at the base of Main st, could not be more convenient to EVERYTHING. One day we walked back from the PC base after dropping our skis in the locker (me and kids couldn’t get hold of my wife, we had called it a day a little earlier than we thought). We walked in Ski boots, not ideal , but not the crazy far either. Park Station has 2 and 3 bedroom units, a little dated but the location is great. Nice large outdoor hottub and plenty of parking. We walked in to town each night for dinner, drinks , shopping. The wife loved it, she would drop us off at the base by 9 and head back to the condo, less than 5-8 min drive, then do her thing, read a book, coffee, shop, lunch, nap, dinner prep and then pick us up at 4:15-4;30 back at the drop off. This year we are skiing Feb 26-Mar 3 (Our mardi gras break). We are staying literally at the Town Lift. We are paying a lot more, but we wanted to see what this unit/complex was like and we wont be doing ski school. There is literally a ski shop on the ground floor (underground parking for renters) where we have our gear reserved, and then step out of the shop and your on the Town Lift, literally. There is also a diner (Bridge Café) right there as well. This will be the best location we have stayed at thus far, so im curious to see how we like it. Down a short stone staircase from the Town Lift is main st and allthe shopping, eating etc.. Park Station to the town lift is about 200 yards, if youre following me, so Park Station condos and the town lift are close to one another as well, we just wanted to step up in quality of the unit, ski in ski out….we’ll see if the extra $$ is worth the extra convenience. We have 2-3 other families skiing with us this year, though everyone is staying different places (Montage in DV for 2 groups and Town lift condos for the other party, down the street from us)…we will likely not mess with the PC base this year as we can take Town Lift up and then traverse to the canyons and back, again no ski school and Pay Day lift gets crowded.
  14. I will have some Intel for you this evening ,have 3 kids and have done PC 3years in a row; going wheels up now

    Only thing I can think of is, Jamie wanted to be a Cowboy like his 'dad', John. He was doing everything he thought John wanted, only to have John decide his fate. John told him the family needed a lawyer, so he applied to Harvard unbeknownst to Jaime and basically forced him off the ranch to Boston. He never got close to John like he needed/wanted. There is resentment deep down that he didnt get the life experiences the other 2 brothers did. And John has not come to his defense when the sister blames him for the mom's death.
  16. Quarter
  17. B/c offer list was Kansas, smu and miss valley st
  18. Sixteen Candles, while getting Christmas stuff out of the attic for the wifey...had to stop and watch a good part of it..so good, I wonder whatever happened to the stud Jake, seemed like a poor man's Matt Dillon. Anthony Michael Hall was great. Cant beat a John Hughes movie to take me back to the 80's. Pretty in Pink, About Last Night, B-Club et al
  19. Yeah , a couple good scenes were the glow in the dark condom shots and then when we wakes up and opens the door to the "jazzercise" session with the blanket wrapped around him.

    Lloyd and Rip were in a bar in a different part of the MT. They heard Walker singing and turned around to see him holding court in an Adairs looking joint. So they tied him up and brought him back to the Y. They confronted Kasey about it (John may have gotten involved too) and the decision was made to keep him. Walker said something about he couldn't leave MT b/c of his parole officer or some such.
  21. Look for the Dodge 1 ton, Any train stations out there ?
  22. Yeah, Im reading those tweets as he didnt want any part of the SEC, tried to get the admin to reconsider. Throw in the scheduling issues OU has made public the last couple years and throw in the officiating bias this season....i think he said adios mofos
  23. Should have posted this earlier. the boys lost to BYU in the final 3-1. We had wins over JMU, TAMU, the Cuse, UCF and UNC before falling to the Cougars in the stadium Sat evening. The fields/complex in Foley AL was in great shape, there were easy 2-3 dozen schools represented for men and womens collegiate club soccer. There was an open division and a championship division. I played/won the title in '90, but this current governing body only recognizes titles since they took over. To my knowledge, Texas has won one other title in '95 for mens collegiate club soccer.
  24. It's been since the 90's that I sat down to watch the whole movie. I saw redux last night....the scene at the bridge seemed drawn out from what I remember. Perhaps they added some scenes their, like when they crawl through the trench and step on that guy before passing the 4 black guys squatting.
  25. No way. This staff ain’t fucking around collecting a check. we’ll turnover 37 guys like TN did. Ewers come on down. Brock may see playing time and come too, maybe. Hasn’t played this year and bama’s OL is their weakest in saban era.
