    God, I love this photo:

    JAMESSTREET.jpg?fit=1024,1024

    At a Texas Exes fundraiser after DKR's passing, I was the high bidder on this picture framed and signed by Jimmy Street.

    I also have a slightly version of this same picture signed & numbered by DKR.  I found it on sale as the LonghornsLTD website a year before he passed.  I ended up buying another autographed picture of DKR celebrating while being carried off the field after beating Ole Miss in the 1962 Cotton Bowl. I can't find the picture online though...  I have those framed in my gameroom and don't regret that at all.

  2. I decided to mow the yard at 7pm tonight because it's actually shady at this hour in both the front & back.  Knocked it out and weedeated in just over an hour.  Then drank beer in the garage for another 30min with the garage door open.  Lots of folks walking their dogs; wonder if they are judgy?  Oh well.

    Southwest is the McDonalds of the airline world. It’s cheap, quick, easy and you get a lot of value for your money. But you don’t go in expecting to be waited on or receive 5-Star service. There’s no J or F Class, no assigned seating, no lounges and their footprint is pretty minimal. Paying any money for the listed benefits would not work, albeit, there’s nothing else they could really offer without changing their business model. Bags fly free already and changing flights is the most seamless in the business.

    i'm not asking SWA to create a 1st class.  Just they can add some easy low hanging fruit...

  4. I've posted earlier on this thread.  We have the SWA card.  We started with my card, got a ton of points.  Then I referred her in January, got 50k points for her and got the companion pass.  She's used it 2 times for our kids on mini family trips (it's hard to get vacation for both of us right now). 

    One benefit of that is change/cancel flight via SWA is the easiest.  It's basically risk free.  It's so easy to make changes.

    But.... I'm surprised SWA hasn't tried to create a more expensive version to sort of compete with the AMEX.  $250 but you get free wifi, A-list, and more drink tickets?  That's marginal costs to them and they can create stickier credit card customers.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    B&E doesn't have enough good content to pull that off. Half of their shows is Bucky dicking around with random thoughts and Erin trying to spin jokes off of them. I don't think you could fill numerous hours of a call in show about one school. The SEC has 14 inbred fanbases and schools of lesser education as subject matter, not to mention the rampant cheating. 

    Agreed but it's not like the content on a random weekday morning  is any better.

    You can't?  In AppleTV I just click once on the clickpad if a program is on, and it stops.  A timebar appears at the bottom. Plus I can maneuver up/down by time (i.e. skip commercials).  It's kind of rough (not fine-tuned) but once you learn how to work the remote, it does a pretty good job.

    They just recently added DVR to Roku so maybe that is getting rolled out later.

  8. It's great for SEC Network because he is just simulcasting a radio show every day for what 3 hours?  The production costs are small and he's got "live" content.

    I wonder if LHN ever thought of simulcasting Bucky & Erin in the morning?
