  1. The sculpture cost around $300,000 to install and was funded by private donors, according to Allison Johnson, director of community engagement for the Pease Park Conservancy. Most of the funds came from the Tejemos Foundation. H-E-B and the William Knox Holt Foundation also donated money for the project. KUT article -- Pease Park Troll
  2. Did you ever figure out who defaced your fence?

    That would be an interesting and very Austin encounter: "Hey man, wanna hear my band's new single?"
  4. Whatever happened to a shift of ~ 1/3 APD patrol officers to more capable mental health professionals?
  5. Modern roster management isn't for guys like Tony Bennett. I'm not sure it's for Tom Izzo, either, among others.
  6. He's gotta stand for something. Well, maybe not.
  7. Not sure how I feel about the celebration, but hey, a win is a win.
  8. Based on what I'm seeing, I'd take my chances with UVa.
  9. Yeah, I called it wrong from the first angle. Carry on.
  10. 1982 was a WS championship though. Ya think? Maybe that was my point?
  11. Yeah, that's a good point. No 2011 tourney, no Shaka, ever.
  12. Well, I don't want to come across as cocky, but neither of these teams is very scary.
  13. It's a silly argument, but I'd say RT's first season is a wash with the previous year. Prior to that, UTEP was sub-500. After that, they were over 500. Improvment. Whatever, the point is he wasn't as bad as some would have us believe. AGAIN, not Texas worthy, and I'm not arguing otherwise, but here comes the cavalry.
  14. They went 11-20 prior to him arriving. His record there: 8-21 17-15 12-12 That's improvement. Even considering Tim Floyd's last year (15-17), that's improvement. Monumental? No.
  15. *not saying RT is "Texas good" RT improved Fresno State and UTEP. Facts.

    I'm a dinosaur. I attended year 1 and volunteered year 2. I got put on "Security" (which is hilarious). I had the brilliant idea to suggest we offer van service to attendees who might have been overserved. I spent the whole weekend driving Michael Corcoran around in a Chevy van.
  17. They're not loaded. Drury Inn would be a stretch.
  18. in b4 Derka uses "disingenuous" again.
