    Why would you prefer the #3 class over the #9 class? The goal of recruiting is to fill positions of need, not to “win” the signing day numbers contest. Where a class is ranked is not necessarily more important than the composition of the class. 

    I was speaking in generalities.

  2. It's weird. I follow recruiting quite a bit.  I'd prefer the 247 #3 class over the #9 class.  That being said, there is absolutely no part of me that would be so excited that I'd post it all over social media.  To me, it would be akin to bragging about the point spread of a game.  "Hey look everybody!  Texas is favored by 6.5!  Y'all jealous and wish you were us?"

    Towel racks?  With towels on them?  And you have to replace them when she does laundry?  I don’t want to hear it. We have no less than 10 towels, wet, on the floor ALL. OVER. THE. HOUSE.  Most are on the floor in the bathroom, but a handful will be in the middle of the bedroom floor, living room, hallway, or kitchen. And these aren’t  towels the kids left out. 

     

    Oh, and “I spent all day doing laundry I’m exhausted” means 2-4 loads were transported from the bedroom, washed, dried, and piled on the spare bedroom to be left until I fold them and put them away. 

    Holy cow!  We're married to the same woman

    I'd also like to add the, "I've spent all day folding laundry" complaint.  Perhaps if you didn't pile it (clean laundry) up for weeks at a time, this wouldn't happen.  

    I do my own laundry and it NEVER consists of more than 1/2 a load which is also immediately folded and put up.

  4. Students are watching The Polar Expreszsright now.  Maybe I'm just being a dick, but this movie is horrible.

    The Ref, on the other hand, is great.

  5. Was Kelly the one that originally showed up with her father in Blood v Water?

    New format seems stupid.

    Btw, Nick's edit got a lot more positive at the end.  To me, he kind of came across as a smarmy lawyer at first.  By the finale, I really liked him.

    I wish I hadn’t thrown out my old recruiting lists because I’d give you plenty of names that were Top 250 from every year around Pinkney’s time. We weren’t recruiting very well in the Top 100, but we always got a handful of Top 250 guys.

    I know.  Exaggeration for effect. 

    Btw, I was speaking of the Dallas Morning News lists.  They'd have a Top 100 for area, state, and national.  You'd generally have to get out of the Top 40 or so in the state before you'd see a few Longhorns.

    I liked how she was bragging about how she convinced Nick to take her to the final tribal.  No, you idiot, it's because you will be lucky to get a vote from the jury.

    Even my extremely mild-mannered wife was all over that.  She was all, "You're in the final because you're a B".

  8. The "Angelina" idol was a perfect microcosm as to why she was so hated.

    First of all, she actually didn't find it and had to have help.

    Second, when she couldn't find it she faked an injury.

    Third, she lied about how high she climbed.

    Fourth she used the advantage to try to create fake drama, make Alison look stupid, and somehow boost her individual image to the jury.  I'm not really sure how she thought the latter would work.

  9. I truly feel for y'all.  About 7 years ago, I went to the doctor thinking that I had a pretty severe case of restless legs.  

    I was put on a prescrip that seemed to make the issue better for a few months.  Problem was, I had to raise the dose up a few miligrams every few months.  After I got to the recommended max, I was switched to another med.  This began 4 years of absolute anguish as each med seemed to make everything worse.  Suffice to say it got bad enough that I'd often get an hour of sleep every night, I couldn't sit still long enough to watch a movie, I couldn't be the passenger in a car, etc..  I was truly in hell.  According to the forums at rls.org, the next step for me might have been low doses of opiods - something I absolutely did not want to try.

    So about two years ago to this week, I flushed everything I had down the toilet.  I figured nothing could be worse than what I was going through WITH medication.  Guess what?  After about 2 days, I was completely cured.  I have absolutely no symptoms whatsoever.  Apparently, the meds that were supposed to help were actually antagonizing the issue.

    Point being?  Be very careful with prescrips and short-term fixes.  I hope y'all find peaceful sleep sooner rather than later.  I know how truly awful it is to be completely exhausted and unable to sleep.
