  1. I was still the weekend sports producer at KTRK. My night off and I dropped everything, went to work, and watched the live satellite feed while the entire city melted down.
  2. Loving it. My kids are pausing the show while in progress and taking time to explain things to me, which is helpful. After five or ten minutes, when they’re done arguing over their explanations, we move on. Great show but it’s like watching a football game with unlimited replays.
  3. My oldest receives two days of excused absences from her high school for college visits. We had to cut a college visit short yesterday and haul ass home because her softball coach replied to her email that if she missed practice Tuesday afternoon he couldn't guarantee that she'd start or play this Friday - on Senior Night.
  4. Sooner women spit the bit against Indiana. What do sooner parents tell their children that could possibly get their hopes up this high?
  5. Maybe she’s still confused and frustrated by her “feelings,” a la Sheryl Swoopes.
  6. Can someone recommend a good groomer in Dallas? Picked up my dog on Saturday and she had been nicked up and down her chest and belly. Fired them on the soot.
  7. Congrats to former Longhorn LB Aaron Babino for being named Athletic Director and Head Football Coach at Cameron Yoe. 🤘

    RIP Mort

    Very nice man. I was fortunate to have crossed paths with him a few times while I was working for ABC Sports or freelancing for ESPN back in the day. He loved to talk shop. Years later I bumped into him at O’Hare when I was in Chicago taking a deposition. Again, loved talking about his work and was very interested in why I left television and with what I was doing then. A genuinely good person. RIP
  9. I know that the percentage of wins in Omaha and national titles have fallen off the table since pierce took over. I've seen enough.
  10. Making it to Omaha isn’t our standard. Winning in Omaha and bringing home national titles is the threshold. Don’t compromise.
  11. Bend it Like Beckham The Goodbye Girl Truly, Madly, Deeply
  12. All your first round picks will soon belong to Syracuse.
  13. I cut ATT Uverse this week and picked up YTTV. The first item of business is to figure out a path to Space City Home Network l that doesn't involve Fubo or DirectTV. Anything else I need to know?
  14. Just one pull off the slots away from a carton of Pall Malls and helping Brent Venables do God's work.
  15. 49'ers win on Sunday and Kyle Shanahan exits on top and takes the UCLA job. A reverse Jim Harbaugh.
  16. I can get on board with trying this in some format; however, it's not like the Premiership where teams don't spend money or don't spend it wisely. Relegation might be the result of circumstances beyond the control of most of the schools and kids that would be subject to it.
  17. My oldest is in computer engineering at UTD and is working his ass off. Texas Instruments started it and is still heavily involved with the program. He loves it and after a few years in the real world, I doubt anyone is going to give a shit about the "D" next to "UT" on his diploma. It's all about talent and ability.
  18. Biology. Ditto! We'll look into it counting AP credits and course availability, but I'm 100% certain that Liberal Arts isn't where she wants to land or risk being stuck. She's got burnt orange glasses on right now and as much as I want another Texas Ex around the house, it's not my first choice (or decision). thanks.
