  2. I thought it was fantastic. Not roll on the ground funny, but biting social commentary that sometimes you can only get from a comedian.

    Moody Center

    Maybe this is covered above. If so, apologies. How will season tickets work in the new arena? Will existing season ticket holders (at the Erwin Center) get a chance to pick their new seats according to some process that has already been communicated? I assume they will use the new stadium to extract more money out of season ticket holders in some fashion.
  4. It gradually progressed from feeling like allergies to light flu-like symptoms. Then for a few days I was almost well, before it got worse again for a few more days. Apparently this is pretty common. I continued to work remotely the whole time. Never got a fever or really lost smell or taste. Not too bad all things considered. I would be quite surprised if the vaccine didn't help me at all. But who knows.
  5. FWIW, I'm pretty sure I got Covid at the UT-Louisiana game. My guess is it was the HUGE crowds trying to get to the upper deck, with 10K+ people breathing in the same air going up the escalators. If I were constructing a way for 10K people to all breathe the exact same air, that might be it. Like a Covid assembly line. Fully vaxxed with Moderna back in March. Nobody else in my family got it despite sleeping with my wife for several days and riding in the car with the whole family. Initial at-home test was negative followed by positive test a few days later.
  6. Of course the Nets could win without Kyrie. Because if they traded Kyrie they would get something good in return. The Nets could win a title with any of these lineups: Damian Lillard + James Harden + Joe Harris + Kevin Durant + L. Aldridge Ben Simmons + James Harden + Joe Harris + Kevin Durant + L. Aldridge De'Aaron Fox + James Harden + Joe Harris + Kevin Durant + Tristan Thompson Patty Mills + James Harden + Joe Harris + Kevin Durant + Nikoli Vucevic James Harden + Joe Harris + TJ Warren + Kevin Durant + Myles Turner James Harden + Paul George + Joe Harris + Kevin Durant + L. Aldridge James Harden + Joe Harris + Brandon Ingram + Kevin Durant + L. Aldridge Not that any of the above trades are strategic in any way, but the salaries fit.
  7. Anybody have a stream for the Miami Buffalo game?
  8. Makes me sad that someone on a Texas board wouldn’t know who Lee Travino is. State of Texas sports legend. Dude is hysterical and probably the best golf hustler of all time. He is 5’7 though so probably correct regarding his hoops skillz.
  9. Late to the party on the college rankings, but give me ASU over Texas. Using various online rankings they have: Barry Bonds - #3 MLB all time *Phil Mickelson - #7 PGA all time *James Harden - #32 NBA all time Reggie Jackson - #38 MLB all time (vs) *Kevin Durant - #13 NBA all time Roger Clemons - #15 MLB all time Earl Campbell - #58 NFL all time *Jordan Spieth - #31 PGA all time Ben Crenshaw - #39 PGA all time Rankings are subjective obviously.
  10. My 16 yr old son is immunocompromised. He was scheduled to get his 3rd Pfizer shot on Monday, but completely lost his sense of smell on Sunday. So instead of getting the vax he got a COVID test instead. Positive. Damnit. It has been mild so far, but what a stressful disruption to our lives.
  11. Roger Clemens is somewhere in the 15-35 range in baseball. Durant is at the top end of that range in just about everyone's rankings and is still climbing. And he doesn't juice.
  12. I appreciate this is a Texas Covid forum, but curious y’all’s thoughts on the numbers in Israel. They were the earliest and most thoroughly vaccinated nation by far and are now spiking big time. Deaths have been relatively low but are now starting to pick up as well. Makes me think we could be in for a very rough fall with kids going back to school.
  13. Full disclosure, I was also not high. Don't think it would have helped as I would have just gone to sleep. Also full disclosure, I seem to be in the minority in my love for King Arthur Legend of the Sword. And perhaps that was my problem. I had no idea what I was getting myself into with this movie. I thought I was going to be seeing something more like The Witcher and, you know, less boring.
  14. This movie was really stupid. But sometimes I enjoy really stupid movies like this one.
  15. This movie is in the running for worst movie I have ever seen. So incredibly boring. Pointless slow scene after slow scene. And confusing on top of it all. I’m baffled by the IMDB rating. I think it is a case of people trolling others by rating it highly so they share the misery. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
  16. Is Lillard on the take? Damn.
  17. Great play by Draymond. He has such a high hoops IQ
  18. If Jrue Holiday had played his whole career for the Lakers he would be one of the most popular players in the NBA. He is really freaking good. Lillard needs to quit pouting out there. Bringing the negative energy.
  19. I like the way Jrue Holiday is playing defense. He is really important to this team.
  20. So they devalue the asset they have in the Olympics? If so, dumb.
  21. This is going to be a meme. IMG_1914.MOV
  22. I’m amazed at how poorly NBC is promoting all of this.
  23. Seems like a good way to attract other conferences. Not.
  24. What is the situation with the trail around town lake? Still a shit show? Was thinking of burning an expiring Hyatt night down at the Hyatt Regency.
