  1. There's the late holding call that makes no difference. Curious about what this ref saw that he didn't see the rest of the game.

  3. Well, that answers that off-season debate about Livingstone.
  4. This team is not well coached. A lot of stupid shit.
  5. Thinking of that Anakin/Star Wars meme. OSU has 7 pts going into the 4th. We're going to win right? Right?
  6. Could be worse. Could be raining. Could be worse. We could get political ads during the half.
  7. Oh, is that what holding looks like? Just wondering
  8. This is me staring at the bourbon at 9AM
  9. Sorry for tilting at windmills. How 'bout this one. We live a suburb of Dallas called Rowlett. Most places we visit go has us use Bush Turnpike, which is a toll road, to get home. As we get close to our exit off Bush, my wife will exit the highway and drive 4 extra miles to avoid the toll. I've tried to explain benefit/cost to her to no avail. Here's the math --- 1. To continue home on the toll (4 miles) costs 88 cents as we have toll tags and the cost per mile is 22 cents a mile. 2. Taking her route adds 4 extra miles + about 10 minutes of drive time as we go through several lights. If I'm calculating this correctly it costs 60 cents in gas to take this route. Her car gets 20MPG in the city @ $3 a gallon. So, 1/5 of the cost of a gallon of gas. So, she's "saving" 28 cents to drive an extra 4 miles while adding 10 minutes to the trip. BTW, we're not Surly 1 percenters, but we can afford gas. And, before anyone asks, I do usually drive; however, when we have the kids with us, we take her car and she prefers to drive it.
  10. Yes. A. We had a windmill in our farm in Comanche for the garden and cows. It actually came to me late last night that you might be thinking I was referencing the generators. All good.
  11. I'm I'm speaking of the use of windmills in Holland for milling? Am I missing something?
  12. Yeah. That was odd. Not near as odd as putting a 200lb door on rickety branches, and sleeping under it. Other than instant death, what was the possible advantage of trying that? It was only going to block a small percentage of any possible rain. Why not rig it over the roof of a car? That would hold it and keep you dry in the off chance there's another big storm. Also, I previously stated that the bugs would be an auto exit for me. I'm speaking to some of the locales that had non-stop mosquito or other biting flies. You can go ahead and add black mamba in my shelter as a quick out for me.
  13. I think I posted about this years ago, but it's too good to not post again. In 2015 the family and I drove from Knoxville to Phoenix via Texas. When we got to west Texas, the following conversation occurred re: windmills. Her: Why are all these windmills out in the middle of nowhere? Me, not really sure what she meant: Um, I guess it depends on what it's being used for and where the crops are. Her: Wouldn't it make sense to have them near a road or house? Me, still not sure what the hell is going on: I guess it depends. Her: So they haul all the grain to the middle of the field, grind it, then haul it back to the road? Me: Babe. This isn't Holland. Those are for water. Her: Really?
  14. Jatavion Sanders? He was pretty cool.
  15. Yep. That was my least favorite trip to Austin. Didn't really hit until we got home late last night. My wife handled it surprisingly well. My autistic 13 year-old, not so much.
  16. Love your kids folks. One day you're living in Knoxville, TN trying to get your kid to love your alma mater over his mother's (Vols). Next thing you know, you've dropped him off at Texas and come home to an extremely quiet house. I know it'll pass, but right now I'm all, "I should have pushed for UTD" (5 miles away).
  17. Dolly admirer and Vol grad wife not amused.
  18. I think he may have been missing his #1 receiver. At least I think that's what I heard before changing the channel in the 3rd qtr.🤬
  19. The absolute most telling thing about this chart - #61. Look at it aggy. See if you can figure it out.
  20. Speaking of. In Scipio's latest version of his Texas football mag - at least I think it's Scipio - he states that some dude did a study in 2020 where college fans were polled about their biggest rival. I believe Texas was the response for 9; the next closest 3. I'm wracking my brain. What are the 9? aggy arky - LSU? Tech - should be aggy Baylor Houston TCU - should be SMU
  21. I've never watched a single second of BB. That being said, it's rare that I know anything about the contestants anyway. I'll still watch for the beauty of the show.
