  1. Shit, we have a 20yr old and a 17yr old...with a soon-to-be-16yr old about to be added. We've been on USAA forever, but now I'm wondering if we should be shopping around...
  2. Yeah, sorry my sarcasm overloaded my ability to express myself clearly. I think their overall winning PCT is better, but I think we actually have the same # of wins over P5 opponents. During (arguably) our worst decade, like, ever.
  3. You (Russia) wouldn't know how to execute a "precision" strike even if it was a legitimate target. Also, stay the fuck out of your neighbors house, and you won't have to worry about shooting into his kid's bedroom.
  4. Must be wins vs non-P5, right? What else could it be?
  5. taco cabana bean and cheese breakfast tacos after a night of...well, anything...
  6. Koulibaly and Sterling both looked good. Thiago is immortal. Looked a little vulnerable against the fast break. Felt very familiar to pass the ball all over the final third and not see goals as a result. [edit] Oh, and for God's sake, please spend some time on set pieces (corner kicks) this week...
  7. ESPN (yeah, I know, consider the source) is claiming Barca are looking into other options. The implication being that Kounde is headed our way.
  8. Slam 2 purples then head to Dallas (the club) before they hit...
  9. I don't have the self-propelled, but with my mower, I did have a spare battery die after a few years already. Went to buy a new (improved, higher amp-hour) battery and charger, and ended up picking up a whole new mower with battery and charger for only a few dollars more. Now I use the new mower on the yard, and the old mower on the rougher weeds & low brush in non-landscaped areas. It's insane how much abuse that old mower has taken... I'm all in on the Ryobi 40v offerings...
  10. <whisper>Also, their best full year in the SEC was still their first...</whisper> 🤣
  11. lol...sure, sure. "lets go do something we've only done once this century (win 11 games)...and like 4 times in our entire existence...and we'll see how things look"
  12. Bonus for you, Jet Black. You guys look like idiots all the time!
  13. Anyone have a good resource for becoming an expat? Would be looking at retiring/semi-retiring, either in EU (where the wife has a dual citizenship), or in UK (where I can get a dual citizenship)... Yes, i can google that myself, just hoping someone on here has actual experience and can share some wisdom...
  14. Grew up in a military family, and we moved every 3-4 years when I was growing up. There is an awkward time when you're the new guy/girl, but there's also a sense of excitement being the new guy/girl. Was definitely a net positive - so many skills and experiences that help as an adult - whether it is learning how to get to know people, or just having experienced living in different places. You have cool stories that no one else has, and you learn how to tell them as well. Definitely different now, with snapchat/instagram/etc...seems like that would make it easier...but, as an old, I really have no idea...
  15. Signed Omari Hutchinson, 18yr old mid/winger from Arsenal. Can't say I know much about him. https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/young-forward-hutchinson-joins-chelsea
  16. And they'd have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those pesky kids sips powers-that-be sabanic-overlord-worshippers NCAA-cheaters rules!
  17. Texas record against Kansas since 1996 (which includes, arguably, the worst decade in Texas football history): 18-2 (~89% win). Texas 8&4 record against Kansas since 1996: 7-1 (~89% win) I hate that we lost to Kansas, but sure, aggy, go ahead and crow about it as if you're superior...
  18. This isn't great news to start a Friday...
  19. Agreed. I don't want to bring in an aging star, as I would rather focus on young talent on the upswing...but, I sure can't complain about Thiago, fwiw. I'm beginning to twitch a bit just in general...would like to see us close on at least some of these fantastic names we keep hearing...
  20. Good read, @956 Worldwide - thanks for posting. Regardless of their efforts, the Russian economy is only temporarily "healthy", and will be hurting - hopefully soon. However, it is concerning that, by the time sanctions really start to bite, we'll be entering winter, and Europe will get desperate for fuel to heat their homes.
  21. Back to them "winning every game they don't play", I love that they believe they would have multiple undefeated or 1-loss seasons if only they were still in the big12...
  22. ? For those of us stuck working...do tell?
  23. Was drinking at a friend's place last night, and he also had an aggy friend over. Things I 'learned': 1. "A&M would curbstomp Texas if they played right now." (I mentioned that UT has had a rough decade, but we played Arkansas about as close as they (ATM) did just last year...) 2. "Texas needs to see how many classes like this (2023) they can pull in before they move to the SEC. They'll need at least 3 this good in a row to have a chance to compete. That's why Texas and OU are delaying the move as long as they can." (I mentioned their best year was their first in the SEC, and he said that was "only because of Jonny...and Arch isn't Jonny.") 3. "Texas fans have unreasonable expectations, and Sark will be fired when they can't win a game in year one in the SEC...if he's even around that long." (I agreed that, if our coach can't win a game in any year, he'd be fired...and that didn't seem unreasonable to me.)
