    That was my expectation . . . maybe I got roped in a page or two back when someone hinted "3rd string".

    Asked about this more.   Was not wearing a green jersey. They are being careful with him more than anything. Coaches feel he has enough experience and will be fine come season.

    I just spent the day walking up massive inclines in San Francisco and barely breaking a sweat. I would fucking smoke Sweat in a 40. I’ve easily still got 4.something speed, folks. 

    I’m still down for the Surlympics. I’ll put a heavy wager on the over on that 40 time. That man bun’s got gray in it, and everyone knows Naruto times start sliding as you approach 50.

    He was recruited to be a career backup. There are worse uses of scholarships than adding a stable backstop to the QB room in this day and age. Sark would seem to agree given they are taking that kid from Cy Fair this cycle.

    This.  And, his grandfather is one of the most influential professors in UT history.  The kid can have 2 scholarships because he satisfies two roles.  I love that he is on the team.

  4. Finishing up our third week in Panama. We spent the day today just walking around and eating. Had two weeks of immersion courses, which were a great overall. Would highly recommend it if you can ever find the time- Casco Antiguo Spanish school. As for the humidity, suck it up and take a couple cold showers each day.

    We spent the majority of our time in Casco Viejo, since that’s where the school is located. 

    We’ve had a couple old fashions at Amarla, per @midtown. The first one was great, the second one was pretty good. Drink a caipirinha at the American Bazaar if you can. 

    Trying to eat pounds of ceviche. So far the best is at a small restaurant next to the school called the snack shack. Get a mojito there.

    Great Peruvian food at Nazca. Get the daily special- it’s $7, or $8 with an app. 

    Get an egg sandwich at Sisu. Get a black coffee at Unido. Don’t think the crazy expensive Geisha coffee is worth it. 

    Ate breakfast at La Compania hotel most mornings, even though we were staying in Albrook. Five of us consistently split empanadas and coffee for $20 or so. Wonderful staff and beautiful hotel.

    Possibly the best, and cheapest, meal that we had was in the fonda at Mercado de San Felipe. Great soup- sancocho. There was also some fish with orange sauce that was great. My kids love getting the fresh juice from the market- plastic jugs full of everything. 

    Spent last weekend in the jungle at Gamboa. Easy trip From the city. Headed to the pearl islands in the morning.Hope to do some fishing and reading- if my kids let me.

    Yeah, that's a 3 hour car ride and then a 30-45 boat ride.  So that's 6-7 hours of travel and the rest of the time is at the islands.  I meant it didn't take a whole day of travel to get there.  If we do it, it's going to be a multi day trip.  It won't be a huge deal as we won't be doing both legs on the same day.

    This is more in line with what I’ve been told that. We’ve got friends that have a place in Panama City and they recommended going to the islands but spending the night. 
    @midtown we will definitely check out the Amarla.

     

  6. So, I'm taking my wife and 3 kids to Panama City.  Doing an immersion course in Casco Viejo for a few weeks. I'm very much a - pick a few things and wing it the rest of the trip - kind of guy.  So, thinking San Blas islands, Peacock Bass fishing, and food.  Lots of food.  Gonna take a hard pass on the whore recommendations above.  Got anything else?
