  1. they had the greatest uniforms in the NFL and one of the worst owners. I was a season ticket holder after college and going to games were great - except the fucking ingress and egress into the Dome because Bud fucking Adams and the Oilers would not allow tailgating. So everyone tried to time their arrival in time for kickoff. Which meant half the stadium never saw kickoff because of the huge traffic fuck up. Same way for after the game. I'm not a McNair fan at all, but they have created an A+ tailgate environment. Getting in an out of a Texas game is a breeze because of that. Plus the team had Bum and Earl fricking Campbell, and a cast of characters - Dante, Mauck, Stabler, etc. Dante threw Dale Robertson (Houston Post sportswriter) out of the team locker room at fall camp - literally threw him through the door - great stuff. Saw The Snake down at least ten drinks at the Bennigans at Baybrook Mall the might before a game one-time. Just sat there by himself and got blasted. He lived in Nassau Bay on the water at the time. He also owned his own bar later near Almeda Mall - The Diamondback Saloon. Went to an impromptu party in some field one night with thousands of Oilers fans after a road victory. To this day I have no idea where it was. A radio station hosted it. Just grabbed a girl and we drove down some dirt road and until we found it and started partying. Danced on the tables of Sam's Place the night they beat the Steelers in the wildcard game with Matthews and John Schumacher. Also went to The Men's Club with Shumacher and Gregg Bingham one night. Bingham had on shorts so they would not let him in, so he went out to his car and found a pair of sweats in the trunk. This was after we all attended the Bill Williams Capon Dinner (another great event in Houston that is no longer around).
  2. Parkway today. Over two dozen shrimp on that bad boy. It was as good as advertised
  3. Both pitchers in that inning where Furman Palladins two years ago.
  4. No shit. It’s the best ballpark in college baseball
  5. Williams ranked #64 in MLB draft projection - has some great stuff.

    yes, and his picture looks exactly like what a crazy fuck who would kill his kids and himself would look like.

    Rice President announced he is retiring in 2022. Wish he would recuse himself from the baseball hire. Hallmark would be the best hire with Childress in the mix. Lance looks to be going to HBU which would be great for them - maybe he can raise some money and get them lights on their field.
  8. was going to post this. Other small museums of art worth seeing - The Barnes Collection in Philly, The Frick Pittsburgh, The Phillips Collection in DC, The Spy Museum in DC - not art but a cool museum.
  9. I don't think you guys understand 1. the draw of George Strait in Texas and 2. the pent up demand for live festivals after a year of COVID bull shit
  10. he was also fantastic in Seems Like Old Times with Chevy and Goldie, and also in The Lonely Guy with Steve Martin.
  11. going to Bludorn tonight. An must haves from those tat have been there?
  12. Closed years ago. Moose out front should have told ya
  13. instead of PF/Gatlinburg, head to Western NC. Lots of mountains to hike, can still do SMNP, and lots of trout in the rivers.
  14. second moderna on Tuesday. Sore arm, but not as bad as shot #1. Felt a little mixed up yesterday afternoon (24 hours after). Then the wife had me hanging drapes in our garage apartment which was about 80 degrees. Got a good sweat going, then a shower, two Tylenol, and good nights sleep. Woke this morning feeling like a champ. Scotch-Irish genes FTMFW
  15. they make the best baseball cleats. Will be interesting to see if their basketball shoes take off with the Kawhi deal they have.
  16. they are fantastic
  17. I spent many a night in Gilley's in my high school years (before UC) and college years (after (UC). Great call on recognizing the locals who made it into the movie. Always love Bud's first trip to Gilley's as they walk up and guys are getting thrown out for fighting. That was a nightly deal - it was a rough place pre UC. Also remember Johnny Lee's club down Spencer Highway (I think that s where it was), and Cowboy where Pam and Bud end up dancing. We would always showu p for Gilley beer night - cheap beer for college students during the summer months. Pretty sure it was either Shiner or Texas Pride rebranded.
  18. PSA - If you haven't read American Tabloid, then immediately stop what you are doing, purchase it and start reading. Just a fantastic book.
  19. watched The Gordon Lightfoot doc - pretty entertaining, The back story on the recording of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was mind blowing. No one in the band and ever seen the music until the day they recorded. Drummer didn't even know what to do so Gordon said he would give him a nod when he needed to come in. Song wasn't even planned to be recorded that day but they had extra time left in the studio. The recording you hear was their first take. They tried to do other takes but they never sounded as good.
  20. and the Oilers won the 60,61 AFL Championship and lost the 62 and 67 AFL Championships.
  21. Son got a Sous Vide kit for Christmas. Yesterday we grabbed a couple NY Strips for a test drive. Pretty damn good
