  1. Yeah I thought the same as you at first, and then a guy in front of us said it was "Don't get up". I think he was right.
  2. Yep. It was also nice to hear the students chant "Fuck Wyoming" in response to Wyoming's fans chanting "Don't get up" during the Cole injury timeout. Dude, I tried, but I was too slow. Nobody feels worse about that than I do. Trust me on that!
  3. ... and the one lovely young lady on the upper left of the jumbotron who had to keep holding her tube top up ... God bless her. We'll always have tonight. Oh my goodness. She was worth the cost of a ticket all by herself. Oh, and still, as always ... fuck Bob Cole.
  4. This. Yeah even my 17 yo said it's too loud. We were sitting at the bottom of the north end of the west side upper deck and both of our ears are still ringing. And yeah, there's no way for any kind of organic or spontaneous crowd noise or chants to even get started now. Give us a fucking second to breathe.
  5. Just got home from the game. Forst off ... thank God for tube tops. Wow. They are real, and they're spectacular. The jumbotron speakers are still just way too loud for much of the content they're playing on 'em. Even my 17 yo said so. We sat in the north end and our ears are still ringing. The drone show was cool. I just wish I wasn't seeing it as we enter the 4th quarter tied 10-10 with Wyoming.
  6. Alonso's race pace looked really good yesterday, as quick or better than Ferrari & Merc & the rest. Should be interesting to see if Fernando can move up.
  7. Seriously, yep. It's getting stupid. Someone's gonna get killed, but hey, that would make for great TV, right?
  8. Pals, or laps? I dunno how many pals he's done, but I think the last lap at Monza was his 20,000th race lap in F1.
  9. So, on lap 26, Fernando will hit 100,000 km of racing laps in F1. That's just nuts. Enjoy! Yet another on the list of races I really wanna do. Looks like an awesome place to visit.
  10. Yeah, exit of T14 will be more important now. But I do like the normal T16. IIRC that was always a place with some conflict and mistakes. It'd probably be cool if they straight-lined 18-21 instead.
  11. Apparently the Singapore lap will be about 7s quicker this year (and probably this year only). The track has been altered somewhat for construction near the normal T16-19.
  12. Thanks for going out of your way on this. Very helpful! Makes sense, because it didn't appear until it started hitting 100+ every day, which made me think it was just getting 'burnt up'.
  13. @cactusflinthead Heree you can see the grey in the middle that I was talking about before.
  14. Yeah it's definitely an adventure. I just went back out to look at it with what you said in mind. That biggest patch is really grey in the middle and more light brown/yellow just dead looking as you go toward the edges. Pull a leaf and it's grey/black, darker as you go toward the base.
  15. Thanks brother! That's what I was afraid of. Appreciate the help and all of your good info here!
  16. What would you say is causing this? My shaded areas are doing great. This is only in the 2 areas of my yard with pretty much full sun most or all of the day, so I figured the sun was just burning it out. Could it be something else, like bugs, worms, disease, etc? SW Austin. Thanks in advance! thumbnail (1).jfif thumbnail.jfif
  17. OBTW, after we built the pool and had to re-landscape my completely destroyed back yard, I went with SA Palmetto because it's supposed to best the best all-around SA for handling both shade and sun. Haven't been disappointed in the least. It's crushing my old Raleigh SA in the same conditions. Also, any of y'all use Sunday Lawn products? I've been using them for about 18 months now and over that period this is the healthiest my lawn has looked overall in 22 years living here.
  18. This. Water it deeper & less frequently, and cut it long. I schedule a watering night be split into two full cycles to reduce water running off down the street and increase absorption. If I want, for example, 10 minutes total per zone, I do zones 1-9 for 5 minutes each, then repeat the whole thing. I'm watering 2x a week and the only problems I'm having are in the spots with very few hours of shade to no shade at all. Another thing that I've found has helped a ton this year is adjusting my sprinklers to make sure the water is being distributed as evenly as possible. I had my sprinkler system built 20 years ago, so what was left after we built the pool last year needed some work after 20 years of yard work, adding dirt, sodding here and there, women & kids in cars running over the sprinkler by the driveway, etc. We had to replace the back yard sprinkler, so that needed a lot of tweaking as well. This crazy heat has made it obvious exactly where the sprinklers needed work - where there was too little water, too much water, or it was just right. I'm not surly 1%, so I did most of that shit myself. It's a pita, and dirty work, but it's really paid off.
  19. ^Eh ... *strapped Got dammit.
  20. Love the reaction of those little Bama kids to VY there at the end, staring up at him in awe. They know ...
  21. I was watchingn that game in the fire station with the crew. One aggy guy was talking shit with Okie State up 35-7. I said Texas was still gonna win. Watch what VY does, etc. I bet him $20 on Texas down 28. He jumped all over that like it was free money. Best $20 I ever made. Not even close Quinn's a decent-sized guy. VY just dwarfs him there lol.
