  1. 31-27 Texas 24 attempts for 230yds
  2. In a typical race, a very low floor can lead to much better aerodynamics for the overall car. The intent of the rule is to make sure teams don't run *too* low - I think I read this was due to the fact that anything that raises that floor during a race (like a bump for example) can cause a rapid loss in downforce that can lead to the driver losing control. Even as a Max fanboy, this seems unfair on this particular weekend - the stewards even said (paraphrasing) "it's probably because we didn't give them enough time to dial things in since we added a sprint race. Oh, and also because this track surface suuuuuuuuuuuucks." I did laugh at this during the interview...
  3. FIFM. Incredibly boring race, er, sprint.
  4. The track surface is, frankly, embarrassing.
  5. Damn @wood, I'm sorry and congrats? Sounds like you won't forget this weekend, at least. We bailed again on enduring the COTA logistical shitshow, so will be watching the broadcasts somewhere well-air conditioned. There's a local British pub in RR that we may check out for a few of the sessions at least.
  6. I'm so gotdamned hungry right now. I hate all of you.
  7. We got AHS as part of a home purchase ~12 years back, and we've kept renewing it since then. We've replaced microwaves, a dishwasher, and several water heaters. We've gotten repairs on our HVAC multiple times. With all of that, I'd say we are about breaking even. I actually plan to cancel them this fall/winter though. 2 big reasons: - you have to use their contractors for repairs, and they are never quick. When your AC goes out in the Texas summer, 3/4/5 days of waiting for someone to even come look, just doesn't cut it. -their coverage for AC coolant replacement is just stupid. They pay something like $10 a pound...and the actual cost is more like $100 a pound. The rest, lf course, comes out of my pocket. And finally, I've just had enough of them band-aiding our AC units every summer with no thought of replacing them (regardless of how much screaming we do). I keep thinking 'surely this will be the year that it completely dies and they have to replace it'...but it never happens.
  8. Also allows them to say they *want* to keep him, and avoid coming to terms with the fact that they can't *afford* to not keep him.
  9. 52-13, Horns. 415 yards passing.
  10. I feel like we're living parallel lives. Our 2016 Silverado was stolen, and we have a 20 year old suburban that is no longer reliable. With an admitted GM bias, we looked at Ford, Dodge, GMC, and Chevy when looking for a replacement. Ended up with another Chevy anyway - a Silverado High Country with the 3.0 babymax. We felt the interior was on the same level as the other higher-end options, and the new entertainment screen is much larger than the previous gen. Babymax is like 400hp/500lbft and still gets 30mpg on the highway. No complaints at all - though we're only 8k miles in.
  11. Wait...are we actually allowed to score 2 goals in a single game? A win is a win!!!!
  12. 48-20, Horns win. 255 yards rushing
  13. First game to attend this year. Our friend's tailgate is on the southside, but I'm hoping our walk will take us by so I can see some of you heathens in the wild...
  14. I worked at a Weinerschnitzel for 1 hour back in college. Walked out after the training video and never looked back. Come to think of it, after 30+ years of interest, they probably owe me tens of dollars since I never picked up a paycheck. Actually, shit, maybe they still have me on the schedule and they keep wondering why this asshole keeps missing his shifts.
  15. So, games where we dominate time of possession, we can't win or even score. But if you give us <40%, we'll eek one out...
  16. Map to tailgate party not showing for some reason... We haven't gone the last few years, as we got tired of the traffic and logistics bullshit (refer to thread topic)....but I think we may go this year. I'll be looking for those stubhub options as it gets closer, likely...
  17. 48-21, good guys win. Kansas has 360 yards of offense
  18. I didn't say it was a logical fear.
  19. Mobile QBs will always scare me. I'm still scarred from the beat down BYU gave us a few years back (what's that? Oh, Taysom scored another rushing TD while I was typing that?). That said, this year's D will still be able to limit them.
  20. Chicos was definitely fantastic drunk food. Not sure my stomach could handle it anymore!
  21. I mean, if you put all that stuff aside, there's nothing left in this post. Or most of their posts for that matter.
  22. Texas Tech. First Longhorn game for me...1993?...was a loss to Tech. I still have nightmares of the fat plains bitch in front of us, who had her own words to "Texas Fight". They included the words "jump up and bite my ass", which she would scream, while "dancing" and pointing to the acres of blubbery ass that was her backside.
  23. Just some burgers on the bullseye. Painted with rendered fat from the last brisket, salt and pepper, sear on ‘riot’ setting.
  24. Texas 45 Wyoming 13 260 yards for the RBs
