    Old enough to have pissed off Akers while I was playing racquetball in Bellmont.

    Old enough to have had an afternoon Statesman paper route.

    My father was a Silver Spur 75 years ago.

    Yeah, so you’re about my age. Compare 6th Street in 1985 to 2005; is that the High Street analogy?

  2. So I don’t know the NBA cap rules near as well as the NFL. I’m of the belief that we now have use of the MLE, which gives us options in free agency for a sharpshooter off the bench, which I think is the #1 roster need at this point.

    Are the MLE and the combine salary of Whitmore and Landale mutually exclusive or does this give us the ability to sign a guy at the MLE AND combine those two for an approximate $11MM second signing?

    We're taking the kids to their first game and I didn't want to risk waiting, so I started working on tickets early to get 5 together. I thought we'd be in the cheap seats, but ended up buying 5 in Club 2, row 15 for a song. Now I can spend the next 2 months mentally preparing my children for the atrocities they're going to witness.

    As long as you aren’t running the townie ghetto of High Street bars to and from, you’ll be fine…

    Agree, though I oddly had a great experience in Fayetteville this past fall.  Wife (TN) grad and son wanted to go to the Arky/Vol game.  I was wearing Longhorn attire and didn't have a single negative interaction during the three hours before the game on and around campus.

    Totally agree; people posting shit about not selling gas and all this other shit are living in a different time. For the record, I’m 58….

    People who say there's "no score" when the score is 0-0 in a sports game.  Not sure why this mildly annoys me, but it does.    No, there *is* a score -- the score just happens to be 0-0.  Yeah, I understand that "no score" is considered shorthand for "there has been no scoring yet," but I still grit my teeth a little when I hear it.  Don't ask me why, because it truly is "trivial."  

    OK, I kind of see your point but if they say ‘we are scoreless at halftime’ you’re OK with that, right?

    The Pitt game was hot as hell, or so it seemed at the time.  Went to the Rice game either last year or the year before at it 100+ at kickoff.

    The bottom photo from the Syracuse game ended up 21-21.  They were a top 10 team the year before and were 2-0 coming into Austin.  They wound up 6-4-1; we were 5-5-1 in Mackovic's second year.  Things are so much better these days.

    That Syracuse game was way hotter than Pitt, though both were miserable. Pearl Jam played an iconic show at South Park Meadow the night of the Pitt game; great weekend!
