  1. Yeah they basically sent out the A team and told me they knew they fucked up and would make it right…
  2. Fuck you asshole lol I was trying to knock down a piece of debris with nails sticking out from a tree. They asked if they could interview me and I said no but they still fucking filmed me…
  3. Does any have an Austin newspaper from Monday that I could have with the story on the explosion?
  4. There’s plenty I can see. Which makes me paranoid about what I can’t see. I have a feeling we’ll be going down to studs but holding out hope otherwise. Yeah right now trying to find a 6 month rental that feed to Laurel Mountain Elementary. We have 2 we’re going to look at later today but both want 12 months and insurance won’t cover that…yet (until they know how extensive the damage is). We’re doing as well as can be expected. Wife is handling the kids, they went to school on Monday. We are doing stupid shit like sorting through piles of glass trying to find Legos pieces in my son’s room and trying to repair a broken light saber he just got at Disneyland last month because that what he was most upset about in his 8yo brain. I know it’s dumb but it gave us something to do until insurance finally showed up.
  5. Yeah I’m not a structural engineer but this seems…not good, especially for a 2 story.
  6. I feel so bad for him. Thank goodness he was at church when it happened. Probably the 4 houses around ground zero are all going to be proper fucked.
  7. Sounds like the neighbor I talked to yesterday. From what I’m told, his son basically save the life of the guy that was in the house that blew up. I am super impressed by the young man and am very grateful to them for helping out our neighbor. Apparently he yelled for me while I was pulling out my kids and wife and I told them who I thought was in each house and brought out my fire extinguishers…but I honestly have no memory of that.
  8. Wife and kids are at a hotel where multiple other neighbors are also staying. Men are taking turns posting watch. Got my house boarded up best we can. Insurance adjuster comes by tomorrow and hope to get movers out by end of the week. Still looking for a rental in the area.
  9. Ha, I wish, I can’t drink anymore (reoccurring acute idiopathic pancreatitis) last beer I had was the night of the Texas Bowl when Tom Herman mocked the Mizzou QB backpack dance. That’s a Costco sized Lime Topo Chico bottle.
  10. Hi friend of friend of probably my wife since I’m a giant asshole to most people… Family is not in the hospital so just going to count that as a win and will deal with my losses at a later date.
  11. Waiting to hear back from USAA right now. Wish me luck.
  12. We don’t have natural gas in that area, the only city service is water so just about everyone has a propane tank. We assume that’s what it was but not certain. I’ve met the husband but don’t really know the family. But some of our friends do. It’s not a meth lab, it was a brand new never lived in house, construction subs were going in and out near everyday. The family hadn’t moved it yet but the owner was there when it went up. It’s his car under the rubble. He was taken to the hospital but saw on the news that he’s doing okay. All the houses around front (mine)/back side/side had pretty bad damage. The side one closest to DK Ranch had their side wall collapse and the lady in there was taken to the hospital.
  13. That’s just the blower. The fireplace is around the corner.
  14. Yeah I gave it to the Travis Co Fire earlier today.
  15. That is the neighbors house the explosion happened at 10410.
  16. I was sitting on this couch with my two kids when the front door exploded in.
  17. Yeah it was the house across the street from me. It messed up my house pretty good but my family is safe.
  18. We never played SMU OOC after the SWC broke up and their pay for play death penalty. We never played UH OOC after the whole Bleachergate debacle. I hope/assume likewise we will never play Baylor OOC due to their many issues including the Briles rape scandal. Texas has no need to play more games in Waco or outside of the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. We would benefit with a Houston game but Rice can checks that box for us. I could see us eventually scheduling a home and home with Tech or TCU. I wouldn’t advocate for it personally as neither will excite our fan base, bring many eyeballs, nor help with recruiting, but I could see it being politically expedient to offer it as a goodwill gesture. That being said if we never play another OOC away game in Texas other than Rice, I won’t lose any sleep over it.
  19. Unclear, I assume the half share would be for the length of their proposed TV deal but most of that hasn’t been released publicly. If it was permanently at a half share then I don’t blame them for turning it down. They also are giving Gonzaga a FULL Football share so I could see how that would rub Texas State the wrong way too. It took a decade+ but yes they pretty much brought back TCU and everyone in the Mountain/Pacific Time Zones other than UTEP. Utah/BYU (now in B12), Colorado State/San Diego St (joining P12), New Mexico, UNLV, Wyoming, and Air Force left the WAC to form the MWC leaving behind… TCU (later invited now in B12) Fresno (later invited now in P12) Hawaii (later invited, still in MWC) SJSU (later invited, still in MWC) UTEP (only recently invited to MWC) SMU (rumored but never officially invited, now in ACC) Rice (rumored but never officially invited, now in AAC) Tulsa (see above) Fresno should feel good about themselves, going from shunned to shunner. Utah State and Boise State weren’t in the original 16 team WAC when the MWC split off but obviously their trajectory is great as well.
  20. Rumor going around that Texas State was offered the final spot in the PAC12 at a 50% share and turned them down. PAC12 has been turned down by everyone in the AAC and MWC so they either will have to take New Mexico State at significantly reduced share or Texas State at a full share. https://nevadasportsnet.com/newsletter-daily/murrays-mailbag-why-is-the-pac-12-struggling-to-find-a-required-eighth-football-school
