  1. You, or your coworker, is full of shit. Guessing it’s just you.
  2. Some of us have been consistently attending games since the 70’s and 80’s. Nothing will ever compare to that UH game because of the circumstances that led up to it. Mizzou came closest but it was definitely not the same.
  3. Yup. I mentioned before that I knew him pretty well but it was mainly around junior high age. We didn’t hang out much in high school. I do remember being around him a little the summer before our freshman year at UT. Went to some fraternity parties together, drank a beer or 2 in his room at Castilian and stuff like that. Once school started though I don’t really have any recollection of him. Anyway he was completely normal. Good athlete and student, popular, etc.
  4. So for all 5 of us here on the board that aren’t lawyers this means what? They know he did it but don’t have a body/evidence and don’t want him posting bond on the 2 original charges?
  5. Supposedly their 6 or 7 year old daughter showed up to school Monday morning and told her teacher that “dad hit mommy last night and now she is missing” and that’s how the police first got involved. I knew Brad pretty well especially around junior high age. We graduated the same class in high school but by then we didn’t really hang out all that much. Brad went to Texas also but I pretty much never saw him after the summer of our freshman year. He may have dropped out/transferred I really don’t know. Brad’s older brother Bart was a part owner of Tarpon Inn down here. Brad’s sister Britt was smoking hot (no pics) in high school. She married a Kleberg. That’s all I’ve got.
  6. Just stay away from the hotels they are still ridiculously overpriced. If you can come down with another couple or 2 the condos and houses are a great deal.
  7. Where are you watching the game?
  8. This is a bit overboard even for you. OU sucks. Grow a pair.
  9. Port A is overbuilt and real estate prices are finally dropping here. Glad you are happy with your sale. Short term rentals have come way down too so if you do decide to come down you will find good prices. For example, my wife’s 3 bedroom condo at island moorings is renting for about 250 a night. It was double that or more just a year ago.
  10. There aren’t any bars in Port A. Ive never tried watching a game there, but the outdoor bar there at Palmilla has good TVs. I was there last night and they had live music. It was also overrun with families and kids so we left. If the weather is nice I’d probably watch the game at sip yard.
  11. A few people have brought it up recently in this thread - for 95% of the people the surge/wind isn’t the problem it’s the aftermath with no power and water. The debris everywhere. The smell. It’s fucking miserable. For close to a month or more. After Harvey I came back home to Port A 2 days after landfall but stayed most nights in Corpus where there was power. I was lucky and was able to find a place to stay. That’s one of the hardest (and most expensive) things to do and I imagine it will be much harder in Florida as it’s a more densely populated area.
  12. Spring Break is typically a great time to fish but if you choose Costa Rica you will want to book all your stuff as soon as possible as it gets crowded and prices are higher. You’ll want to go to either Los Suenos/Jaco or Quepos/Manuel Antonio. They are only about an hour drive from each other and boats from both marinas fish the same areas so it doesn’t matter a whole lot which one you choose. Los Suenos has a nice Marriott property with a decent golf course or you can choose a house/condo on the resort property. You can also stay in Jaco which is a 15 minute drive and there are all kinds of lodging options there. My main dislike of Los Suenos is that it doesn’t really feel like you are in Costa Rica it’s more like being in some resort in Florida or somewhere. Quepos marina has a few condos available on site (95% sure they will already be booked) so you likely will need to stay in a house, condo, or hotel in Manuel Antonio which is a 5-15 minute drive. Mostly inshore or offshore fishing? Great charters are available in both places and I can point you to the right boats. My boat is in Quepos and I’d be happy to take y’all out offshore fishing for a day. I’ll be there all of December through April.
  13. They run a tournament out of there that boats from CR and Guatemala travel for. A friend was going to fish it, but he found out that you have to go in and out of the port at high tide only. So some boats do go there. Figured it was sort of a marina that would at least have some smaller boats available. Weird. The fishing is good, too.
  14. @midtownI can’t believe there wasn’t anyone to take you fishing. Maybe because it was the off-season. We just got back from CR and might have stayed a week longer but the rains were starting to be half day to all day events. But the fishing was amazing, sailfish jumping in the boat, best September any of the locals can remember.
  15. Seems like they got the spot wrong on every play in that series. The RB run I think it was Wisner seemed like they spotted it too close to the goal line.
  16. Vacuum seal for the win. Fish lasts a lot longer.
  17. He is my pledge brothers son. His dad wasn’t a bad athlete but I’m shocked at how good his kid is.
  18. I’ve only been up to that area once and it was years ago so I’m not any help. Just be aware that is about a 6 hour drive.
  19. They are employees of the corporation. Insurance is issued to the owner/company. Captain has nothing to do with it, but most insurance requires a licensed captain rated for the vessel size.
  20. This. I’m positive they told me last year when I tried to exit to get something out of my car that I couldn’t be able to come back in.
  21. Location/land value is a huge chunk of it. I know the current and previous owners. That place is a gold mine, does ok during the off-season and then prints money for 4-5 months a year.
  22. Yeah I didn’t go there much either maybe a few times a year. But they actually had fairly decent food and a ribeye steak dinner that was good. I’m not in town and have really heard nothing yet about what is going to happen to the place. I have friends going there tonight to try to find out what the future plans are. Selling it as is seems to make the most sense to me - it’s worth a really nice chunk of change assuming they own the land. Last time Virginia’s sold it was for 18 million or something like that. Moby’s isn’t worth as much since it’s not on the water but they are going to get paid well.
  23. Just lost another restaurant. Moby Dick’s will be closing permanently Sep. 14th I’m assuming it will be sold and re-open as a new restaurant.
