  1. I was engineering so mine was the spot at 26th & Speedway...
  2. I was at the 2000 Super Regionals when we hosted Penn St, I believe and won only to be 2 & BBQ in the CWS...
  3. You trying to fence stolen goods? Incan matrimonial head masks?
  4. Was this before Super Regionals? ie, the winner of the 6 team regional made it to the CWS? 48 teams making the tourney...
  5. Definitely wait until game time for the 2nd game. And Council Bluffs is a super short drive. My 1st year in 2002, we stayed in Omaha but ate lunch at one of the casinos in Council Bluffs (and we gambled of course). I think it was the Harrahs. It turns out that the Miami Hurricanes were having their team meal at the casino too at the buffet. It was our impression that the team, players, coaches were all staying at the casino. Classic Miami.
  6. I prefer this method because what if the teams we are playing are better than the teams in the other half? The winner in the other half isn't playing our teams so let's reset and do best of 3.
  7. Kendall Rogers had them as his team to win it all. They are good.
  8. I haven't gotten over that 9th inning in game 1 when we brought in Taylor Jungmann.... He had a great game2 but we pissed away game1...
  9. Today, the CWS is basically an 8 team Regionals/Super Regionals. We have 2 4-team double-elimination "Regionals" going on separate from one another. And then the 2 winners play in a best 2-of-3 "Super Regionals". Since 2003, you can actually lose 2 times and still win it all.... And I really like the setup now. It might have been posted before, but Augie's 1st title in 2002 was the last year of the winner take all title game. We entered that game against South Carolina with 0 losses in the 4-team double elimination set up with wins over Rice, Stanford 2-times. That was also the last year the CWS finals were on CBS (all the other games leading up were on espn).

    Tesla

    I also don't know why Tesla is trying to do this on their own. Focus on the cars and the batteries. Let Google/Waymo, Tesla (although they might be warming up with Waymo) figure it out and then license it.

    Tesla

    I think what is mostly likely is we might see autonomous driving car only zones like in downtown areas. If all of the cars on the same OS then there are fewer variables of the other vehicles. You still have dipshits on foot though...
  12. Agreed. We stayed at Guadalupe National Park 16 years ago and did that and McKitrick Canyon. The Peak wasn't that bad. The Canyon was very hard because it's so long. I don't know if there really is an ending point. At some point we said, that's it let's head back...
  13. This is from the year Rice won it all (and knocked us off) but David Pierce was an assistant on that Rice team.... just sayin' This
  14. In 2004 I had gradated from grad school so we could afford to fly. But we flew to Kansas City and rented a car from there. We booked last second with a Southwest voucher back when you could buy vouchers from people (since we booked last minute we had to go Southwest). But SWA didn't have an Austin to Omaha flight back then. Rosenblatt was a treasure. I want to take my oldest to CWS but work is crazy right now. Sombitch.
  15. I went for the 1st weekend in 2003 & 2004. I was in grad school then but worked in a research lab. I rented a car and we left after I got out of work that day. Like 5pm. Drove through the night. Slept in a McDonald's parking lot in Kansas. Made it to Omaha in time to check in our hotel, grab a styrofoam cooler and beers and make it for Texas' opening game against Miami. Which we won. Then hit up Council Bluffs for gambling. Good times. We made it to the 1st game the next day (no Texas) and then left after it and drove home. I think we got home Sunday night around 2am. I remember listening to WOAI and the Spurs beat the Nets that night for their 2nd NBA Title... I'm sure the rental car company was shocked since we drove from Austin to Omaha and only had the rental from 5pm on Friday to when they opened on Monday morning. We put over 1700 miles in a weekend.
  16. Are we getting close to the season where it's too hot for the snakes?
  17. I've heard Dr. Drew talk about it. I'm not surprised they both went out the same way. Sounds like a lot of doctors are mixing pain killers with sleeping drugs and it's a dangerous combo (I'm not a doctor, if I butchered that seek your medical professional).
  18. Glass lenses. Day 1 not even on the beach...
  19. I was an undergrad when they opened that Wendy's. And it was a big deal b/c before then there were no franchises in there. No CFA or Taco Bell. Wendys was the 1st...
  20. What's wrong with his teeth? He never opens his mouth when he smiles. Even in his Linkedin profile pic...
  21. I have the Wayfarer piano black ones... Last summer we got to Port Royal in Port Aransas and about an hour after getting in the room we are loading up for the beach. As we are walking from the parking lot/garage, my sunglasses fall off my head and shatter one of the lenses. Day 1. And this is what you need sunglasses for... Fortunately I have a back up pair of old Oakleys in my SUV and used those. One benefit of the Ray Bans is you can pop new lenses in. It's a bit of a bitch but doable.
  22. Speaking of cord cutters, what antenna do you guys recommend?

    This is an awesome writeup! Thanks for the update. My friend owns a 2 bedroom/2 bath condo on the top floor overlooking both the pool and ocean but mostly viewing/directed towards the pool. When we went last summer, we spent all of our time at the beach, the pool, or our room. We were there 3 nights and didn't venture out to eat; just made food at the condo. But this year we are going 6 nights and plan to do more stuff...
  24. 1st week in with Directv Now and I'm really happy. I'm also happy with the Roku Ultra. I actually like it more than my Fire Stick. Still don't know why Amazon hasn't added a volume button and tv power button... My kids have yet to even turn on DTV Now. They use the apps like Cartoon Network (which I think needs my DTV Now at&t account to fully unlock).
  25. I noticed that as well. And I was wondering if my DTV Now would eat up my data. I can't get 1000mbps down b/c of my distance to their box. But I wonder if I can get the unlimited data plan...
