  1. A bigger bummer is if it gets in the Gulf and affects anywhere from Baton Rouge westward on Sept 6th or 7th
  2. Nope, they don't put you under. I've had three, and for my first one they didn't even use a local anesthetic. Worst pain I've ever experienced by far. The last two used a local anesthetic, and it made a world of difference, but it is still a very unpleasant pain in the ass.
  3. What goes in to selection of a course for the qualifying rounds, and does the USGA provide any input into the course setup at the qualifying courses? It seems you would want the qualifying courses to be set up with the same philosophy as the US Open course, to produce qualifiers whose game is more suited to US Open setups. Just curious, because that one Florida qualifier had a cut line at -11, and several other qualifiers had lots of players deep under par.
  4. Well, you know, Friend of Dorthys and whatnot...
  5. Mm, good catch! But you can't blame the reporter. After all - ejected, injected, ejaculated are all terms that Aggy use interchangibly.
  6. New Northgate Bar Bursts Onto Scene and Puts the Cock in Craft Cocktails By Benjamin Dover benjamin.dover@theeagle.com May 15, 2019 Howdy, Aggies! Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock lately, surely you’ve heard about “Mason’s Jar” – College Station’s white-hot new venue that has injected some real stuff into Northgate’s otherwise flaccid food and drink scene.
  7. I was Joan of Arc in my former life
  8. Oh man, bumping this thread because I just learned that tv commentator and former cyclist Paul Sherwen has died. His analyses were always spot on and really made broadcasts come to life. https://olympics.nbcsports.com/2018/12/02/paul-sherwen/?utm_tags=nbcsemail1000&mi_u=0D6A6B46-ECEB-4175-A131-0CFD29CEF248
  9. I was at that game, sitting a few rows behind the Drake bench. Miserable game. Then somehow in our final game that year we turned around and beat a #7 Okie State team led by Thurman Thomas in one of the coldest and windiest games I've ever attended.
  10. These lake levels aren't unprecedented. Yes, demand is higher than the last time it was this high ('06-'07?) - but I would hope this was not unforeseen and some sort of multi-day/week flaw in our water system that has just been glossed over.

    I read that they actually have protested the fine. Not sure of their justification though...
  12. Not an INT. Commentators are terrible - no careful analysis of the replay. The guy was not in control, the ball hit the ground first, while he was securing it. Then he wrapped up possession.
  13. At Petra, Jordan I somehow got caught up in an adventurous moment and decided to accept a rather sketchy Bedouin's offer for a clearly not sanctioned off-path "hike" out of the park on foot to the south, and to some nearby areas with good views into Petra. After a few kilometers of nice level walking, the hike turned into some really serious rock climbing going up, up, up. Now, truly in the middle of nowhere, after scrambling up a particularly steep climb and having an extremely close call with falling backwards to my death due to not being used to the weight of my backpack, I was glad for my guide's offer to let him to tote my backpack the rest of the way. But the most dangerous moment was when we came to a crevasse/gorge and had to jump across it. No way down at this point. So, the only choice is to jump across and keep going up. I told him I didn't think I could make it. It was only about 8-ft which seems easy until you do it with no runup and just a push-off to get from one side of the cliff to the other. He said to jump and grab for his arm, and he would make sure I didn't fall. Missing this jump would result in falling a couple hundred feet to a painful death wedged between some cracks in the rock, and obviously with no help close by. I took what can only be described as a leap of faith. He grabbed me just like he said, in a moment totally out of my control or physical ability to make it on my own. We sat on a rock ledge for 10 minutes while I got my heart rate back down and stopped my involuntary shaking.
  14. Has anyone been tracking the Grove at Shoal Creek mixed-use development project? http://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/the-grove-at-shoal-creek-project-approved-after-three-years/1182605087 https://thegroveatx.com/ Prime piece of land. Will it be successful?
  15. In my head I always translate it to Carlos y Queso's as a play on words. But come to think of it, Carlos y Queso's could be a pretty sweet concept to revive a struggling brand!
  16. or Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray?
  17. Yeah, right! I remember the story, but reading that again just stokes the fire of Baylor hatred! (also a downer: the linked story also included the news of Iowa State discontinuing baseball and men's swimming)
