  1. I thought that looked pretty inadvertent. I mean yes it was a hard fall, but it didn’t look like he undercut him on purpose to me.
  2. Bears come away with a clutch win tonight for drew’s 400th win. Kendall brown and James akinjo are fun to watch.
  3. Ok whatever mild crush I had on jay Wright is dead. Incessant bitching to refs and fouling down by twenty?? Embarrassing.
  4. Our defense is stifling. Total dominance. Disappointed in offense especially offensive boards. Haven’t looked at the stats but seemed not good.
  5. That’s the perfect age to bring one! I would offer to take a shift holding but my courtside seats might be kind of dangerous for a newborn. /humblebrag
  6. Merry Christmas to me! My husband left with the kids yesterday to go skiing and I’ll fly up tomorrow after watching my bears crush Villanova today in courtside seats! Even if we lose, I win escaping a 15 hour car ride with my five angels!
  7. I have never heard of anyone hating him, ever. I worked at the Texas sports hall of fame in college and he was universally respected. I planned the magazine release party one year!
  8. This had me rolling. Tell me you’re a xennial without telling me you’re a xennial.
  9. Yes, a complete gut to football recruits save jalen pitre.
  10. Oh yeah that Dartmouth kid has been great. Today was his first TD. OL has obviously improved.
  11. It’s an incredible feeling for someone who had a single conference win all 4 years I was there! Then blissgate the year after I graduated.
  12. I can’t think of any new impact players other than this backup qb who redshirted last year. Well and the kicker (who had negative impact).
  13. Reddit is saying it’s not against the rules in cfb to call timeout when you don’t have any. Refs are supposed to know how many they have and ignore the request if none remain. Had no idea.
  14. I'm not big on getting gifts, but I do love shopping, and my girlfriends often ask me to pass along their wish list items to their husbands, so I thought one of you guys might want to take a look at what 30-40ish basic bitches are asking for this Christmas. For the hi-tech hottie the new iphone stainless steel apple watch band (bracelet or mesh) a legit power bank a mechanical keyboard Samsung frame tv a hotspot from a different carrier than the one she has service with For the outdoorsy gal these towels from her favorite national park are a neat memento as would be this scratch-off poster this incredible new book of photos from my friend Earl Nottingham's 30 year career as Texas Parks and Wildlife photographer trekking poles have been super clutch for me as my knees start hurting on descent whilst hiking a fancy hoodie butterfly garden kit For the workout warrior Theragun or knockoff these super soft and flattering vuori joggers for lounging nice socks like Feetures for a stocking stuffer or my favorite ski socks apple watch 6 has all the fancy health metrics (oxygenation, sleep, etc) apple+ subscription (or something similar) For the sexy librarian a new novel (Here i'm not much help as I have become extremely picky, really disliking the last several authors my friends have raved about like Kristin Hannah, Celeste Ng, Laura Dave, etc. The last book I remember recommending was The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, and it was more that the premise was innovative and interesting and less that I was like, 'Wow this is a really great book.' I reread some classics with my kids in high school last year like Adventures of Huck Finn, Little Women, and Native Son and it made me regret every other book I've read lately. George Saunders's Tenth of December is several years old, but I really enjoyed that collection of short stories. a first edition of a beloved book a subscription to a magazine like NYT, the Atlantic, or Texas Monthly a membership to the Story Bound Society, a book subscription curated by my favorite book shop, Fabled in Waco. (I would be the guardian profile.) For the foodie a new cookbook (My girlfriends and I all love The Defined Dish, she also has a new cookbook coming out right after Christmas you can preorder, Ina Garten's Modern Comfort Food, or a Jamie Oliver book would be good.) not a cookbook but any foodie will love Gastro Obscura. a treat from Goldbelly (note that many restaurants, like Snow's bbq, ship directly themselves. and that's a better choice if available) an expensive olive oil or truffle oil a subscription to NYTCooking or Fine Cooking a nice cutting board For the fashionista a gift card to House of Colour to find out what her best colors are (this is a lot of fun and actually a great investment and can save money by teaching her what looks best, not an MLM a real franchise) a Dyson hair dryer Ugg slippers an everyday pendant to wear (inexpensive, moderate, expensive, wow) Note: if you're gonna spend >$100 i would invite your special lady friend to shop with you. No one will be disappointed to hear "let's go find something sparkly." For anyone something sweet or sentimental, personal to her (like a Cameo from Jared Butler, or a Cowtown Clay mail order kit, or a custom ornament with her childhood home) a weighted blanket a pretty planter with plant a graphic t-shirt patio lights or a fire pit eberjey pajamas a masterclass subscription the perfect t-shirt
  15. Have I been pronouncing bilas wrong? It’s bill-us?
  16. Oh yeah it was baboontyme. I think I got to know him on trivia crack.
  17. Great game. I finally convinced husband to look into going to Bahamas next year for thanksgiving and now I find out Baylor is playing in Vegas next year instead which will be better basketball I guess but not as appealing locale. Who is the sparty fan I used to spar on the old site with?
  18. @lchorn I’m a fundraiser—HMU if you want to give to some well-deserving teachers a year end bonus!
  19. You’d have to give exactly at 7am on Tuesday 11/30 to be eligible for the match on Facebook.
  20. Any recs for our beach trip with friends next summer? All-inclusive adults only resorts (I prefer to stay at hotels and eat locally, but with this group I agree all-inclusive is much better) Shortish flights (<4 hours) from Dallas or Houston (bonus if direct from Austin) 5 diamond or above--we've liked Secrets Maroma, rooms were great, but I liked about 75% of the food there so don't want to go lower quality than Secrets Maroma no chance or low chance of saragassum What I'm finding from google is that the last two requirements are mutually exclusive (not a lot of highly rated all-inclusives to choose from on the west side of isla or cozumel). Any ideas?
