    Obviously an Aggie here. I agree the CFP method is flawed. The closer we get to an NFL model, the better off we all will be. You guys have SOLID wins. You beat our ass like a red-headed stepchild. OU was your bitch. I was pissed we lost. Luckily I only broke a Roku remote and not any personal relationships at the end of that game. With a better system in place, you would obviously be in the CFP. Honestly I would like another shot at you guys. We were outcoached and outplayed. Elko and Reed lost all ability to be leaders during that game. Kudos to your fans for actually showing up. They made the difference. 

    I live firmly in the mix of several houses divided. Fiance and her fam all went to Bama. Except for my future FIL that went to Texas. It helps with perspective.

    Bottom line, you have one of the best teams in college football at this point. Failing early in the season shouldn't be such a weighted factor here. Hell, even the shitty Cowboys have a path to the playoffs.

    Cheers guys. See you next year!

    Yup. All this size, but let’s get in a three point contest with Steph Curry.

    Right now, Wemby is an artist. He can do almost anything on the basketball court, so much so that it is just commonplace for him to do things no one has ever seen. Amazing shit, virtuoso stuff, young Jordan-like. He does things that can't be explained or recreated, regularly. This is all fine for now, and great entertainment. What Wemby needs to be, in order to reach his full potential, is a craftsman: someone who can produce the same product perfectly over and over again. The Wemby go-to move will be utterly unstoppable, and there will be nothing boring about doing it over and over again until the other team has to double (or triple) to stop it--and then the structure of the offense will flow from there. When/if they get there, that version of the Spurs will be absolutely dominant.

    I have renounced my Mavs fandom, for the Spurs.

    Through a set of unusual circumstances, I became a Mavs fan as a young kid living outside of San Antonio the year before David Robinson arrived. I stuck with it as a kid to my detriment, but I enjoyed the rivalry with the Spurs and Dirk's time in Dallas with the one title. I also loved watching Luka play and have stuck with them for decades. But the Luka trade was one of the worst decisions ever by a sports franchise. As I get older, I realize there really isn't any need to be a long suffering fan of a pro sports franchise. Why devote any attention or money to a team that so grossly shoots themselves in the dick.

    We live in the SA area and my kids are Spurs fans. We were at the Rockets game and they were all going crazy for the Spurs and Wemby and I realized it's time to join up. The team's future is insanely bright. Happy to be along for the ride.

    In defense of Biyombo, he’s the freaking fourth string center behind Vic, Kornet and Olynyk. He should be getting Menkge Bateer like minutes. I don’t think they ever thought he’d be any sort of contributor to this team. 

    Mengke contributed by looking big and scary. 

  5. I love Carter Bryant showing a little clutch gene and Dylan Harper looks great---physically ready, fast, crafty, and always under control. It's a small sample size, obviously, but this is looking like a fun season ahead. Add them to what we already have along with lot of contribution from the bench as well--- I think they beat projections on regular season wins and maybe make the playoffs outright. Maybe 52 wins with an exciting style of play, followed by a crushing heart-wrenching defeat against a superior team in the playoffs. Early 90's Fast Breakin' Fiesta vibes. If so, that would be quite an improvement--- sign me up for the ride.

    Keldon is a "spark guy," but incredibly inconsistent. He needs to get better or have his minutes given to Bryant

    I would love to see Bryant get some run this season. Other than Wemby, I haven't been as excited about another rookie's potential since Kawhi. I'd say that Kawhi is basically Bryant's ceiling, but that may be hyperbole. Right now he's basically a raw Richard Jefferson who likes defense and has a motor, which is pretty good.

    Absolutely, he was a rookie, very young and raw last year. I don't think he's going to become the floor general over an off-season, but if he can contribute now is the time to rpicex. The only issue is that if he isn't ready at the start of the season, and he falls on his face, it will hurt his trade value if he's needs to be part of a trade. 

    Hindsight being what it is, it sure would be nice to have Castle now...

    the location of the current arena always baffled me. someone got a hell of kickback

    Cool Schoening Story Bro: I was siting at the bar at the Quarry Chili's right after he got hired by the Spurs. He sat down next to me and was talking with a friend. I didn't know what he looked like but definitely recognized the voice and introduced myself. Had a good chat about the Horns and Spurs and he offered me his Spurs ticket for the game that night. Great guy.

    Why does Patel always look like he ate a whole bag of mushrooms and they are just kicking in

    To me, he looks like he is desperately holding in a massive fart, but he just let out a squeaker.

    i am not a real estate or property dude - if we decide to bring in a surl expert i motion we ask wulaw - but not yet

    the following may be scenery or of interest - what stands out to me:

    - deed date is 1 june 1998, recorded in the texas corporate rolls

    - natural fountains properties is listed as the grantee, camp mystic as the grantor on the 1 june 98 deed date line item

    - the assessment and tax value doubled from 2020-2021 just like travis county

    - 2025 taxes are $112k

    - taxes due to upper guadalupe river authority: $1088, a rate of 0.0117% of assessed value

    - taxes due to kerr county emergency services: $1658, a rate of 0.0178% of assessed value

    it seems they are not getting good value for their atrociously under-priced services

     

     

    the address for natural fountains on this document is the same as camp mystic

    the name "neel bonner" is named as the addressee for natural fountains

    one possibly relevant result for that name is a linkd profile of said name with 40 connects, and owner of a water sprinkler company in houston

    of more interest were the 2 results, and the only 2 results for <"neel bonner" AND "natural fountains">

    the first is a wacko social someone else can deepdive - it may have already been posted here or in the dt thread: https://t.me/s/WaterWatchTruth

    the interesting result is the corporation wiki: https://www.corporationwiki.com/Texas/Hunt/natural-fountains-properties-inc/30067724.aspx

    it shows natural fountains is for profit, was created in 1956, and the eastlands are/were part owners of natural fountains

     

    but as with all rabbit holes, it only leads to more questions, as all of the following corporation notes are not active links:

    image.png.07ceccbcc8106648069a5cf01dd17f3a.png

     

    and last, but actually in the first section of the form, the entry for "zoning" is blank, and the entry for "property use" is blank

    one would think the kerrco assessor would have figured out what to put in those boxes for a camp that is 99 years old and was incorporated 68 years ago

    those boxes would not be blank to ensure various data sweeps from various large corporate and federal entities 'missed' or did not 'flag' this document

     

    so who is <neel bonner>?

    searching <"neel bonner" AND "camp mystic"> yields only 1 result, the wacko telegram social listed above

    was he onsite on the 4th?

    did he die?

    did he survive?

    it's impossible to know, because there is no complete list of the names and only the names of the dead and missing

    so why is this still the case almost 10 days after the atrocity?

     

    and that's where the trail ends.... for now

    One of the campers who died was named Lila Bonner.

    I'm hung up on the fact that a very small group of adults / maybe one adult, took no action at camp mystic on friday night and is responsible for all those deaths 

     

    Well, I'm sure they would make different choices in hindsight.  I think it is worth noting that the owner of Mystic died trying to save campers, as did Jane Ragsdale owner at Heart O' the Hills.

    It’s rooted in a much broader concept. It’s rooted in the idea of kicking down at people you perceive to be “beneath” you.

    This is probably the last worthwhile New Rules segment Bill Maher did before succumbing to insanity.

     

    Bill Maher farts into a brandy snifter so that he can hear himself smarmily describe the top notes of cabbage and a hint of...what is that, lemongrass? Maybe only one person on the planet is more in love with himself.

    The wife and I are moving to an apartment a stone's throw from Brackendridge Park.  Seems to be a nice older area, and the manager pointed out we will be within walking distance to "the Pearl district."   Anybody know of good spots to eat near Brackenridge Park?

    Pete's Tako House on Avenue B

    Augie's BBQ

    Demo's on St. Mary's

    Viet-Nam on Broadway

    Good Time Charlies

    All casual and inexpensive established with solid food close by.

  17. Museum District resident here:

    Nonno's on Richmond over Betelgeuse for pizza, but Rosie Canonball is right around the corner and maybe superior for ambiance

    Italian: DaMarco on Westheimer or Amore on Sherpherd

    Burgers: Trill is popular but Burger Joint should not be overlooked and ambiance wise is better

    Little's Oyster Bar on Shepherd
