  1. Rangers and Longhorns play at the same time tonight. Trying to think if there has ever been a time I had to really think about which to watch. Maybe there was a time during the World Series runs???
  2. I'm extremely lucky in that my wife most of the typical present stuff. She doesn't care for expensive clothes. The only jewelry she wears is wedding ring and occasionally a cheap necklace she got from the kids for mothers day a few years ago. She likes brunch. As long as we go to brunch every couple of weeks she's happy. Today is her birthday. She got a card from me. And she wants me to go pick up a couple of pizzas at a local place for dinner and watch a movie.
  3. Damn. 5 of these games star after 8:30.........
  4. Can't remember the last time week and a half of baseball. Really wish the Astros games weren't blacked out for me though.
  5. I was wondering last night. Do they use the small stadiums that are on campus for like JV and 9th grade football and maybe track meets? I can see how they can use 3 stadiums (Star, Kuykendall and Toyota) if it's just varsity football.
  6. I think most of the high schools have a small stadium on campus as well
  7. That sounds like what what Frisco ISD is trying to do. I know they have issues covering all the classes they need too. Some kids get bussed to a different school for some of them. Don't know if that is because of the school size or just because of how quickly it grew out there. They basically opened a high school almost every year for 10 years. Anyone have a list of what districts pay in or receive from that?
  8. 16:1 (Plano is 14, Frisco is 17) so about the same as other districts close by. I get why some people wouldn't care for such a large school. It's going to be pretty hard for most kids to make varsity. But they also are able to offer a bunch of classes that smaller schools couldn't. I mean, they have an Archery and a Hockey team.
  9. yeah. The high school won't max out for a few more years. Right now, it's the elementary schools. They closed two of them for this school year. Same thing is happening in Plano
  10. Yeah. That's the one. I don't know if it's a law or anything. I don't think it was specifically to be a football powerhouse though. As far as I know, their football is set up like most schools. Varsity, Non varsity and 9th grade The decision on being a 1 HS town predates me, but from the olds I know, I think they just wanted to keep it that way. Part of it was that Allen ISD was pretty much fully build out about a decade ago, so starting about 2 years ago, the student population is getting lower.
  11. I live in Allen and they seem to do pretty good. I go to about 150 different school campuses so I see a pretty broad range, but Allen is the only one where I go to the elementary schools. From what I've seen of McKinney, they do a pretty good job as well.
  12. What will be interesting is that there is another bond for a Fine Arts center on the same ballot.
  13. 1 dead 5 in critical condition right now.
  14. They have three high schools and 4 middle schools right now. If this bond passes, they'll have 5 high schools and 8 or 9 middle schools. Probably do need a second stadium. probably don't need a $95M one though.....
  15. On the bar. Yes if it's like a sports bar or casual type of place. My normal go to is cranberry and vodka. But if I'm at an nicer restaurant I'm ordering an old fashion. or if it's a Mexican place, a mojito
  16. We have a bowl on the entry way where I dump my keys and change and stuff. Went to grab my keys a few weeks ago and one of those fuckers was at the bottom of the bowl.
  17. I agree. Correct me if I am wrong. But, it's also Adolis out right? Adolis is heathy, then Jankowsky to left. Duran to 3rd base? Carter would still be in the minors?
  18. First, I will fully admit with work I haven't been able to keep up as much as I want the last few weeks. But, can someone explain why LeClerc was i. In in such a high leverage situation. Especially knowing that Clase was going to close if they got the lead. And he would be facing the #3 hitter. I just don't get it. I'm not trying to be a dick on this one. I just don't understand the logic
  19. A threesome with both of them. There is like a 90% chance you going to die. But what a way to go out
  20. Okay. Now I need some german deli meats. Anyone know of a place in DFW?
