  1. My wife’s grandfather was a pitcher for the Longhorns on their 1950 national championship team. Went on to pitch in the minors for the then Milwaukee braves. He had some cool stories of pitching against Eddie Matthews, frank robinson and Mickey mantle.
  2. Players not coming out who are injured could also be an issue.
  3. We were definitely slanting our DL and it was the LBs or nickel backs job on the overhang. Wheeler was really the one blowing it on the zone read, not the DL. On the first ZR TD wheeler took 3 steps the wrong way before realizing the qb was lumbering past him.
  4. Yeah EJ, you're really beating that early bird to the worm at the ungodly hour of 10 til 9...
  5. This describes me to a tee. Friends still played outside and built forts in the woods, but then went inside to play Goldeneye.

    Yeah, that’s truly the difference maker in this discussion, how easy it is to scheme against Shane. Sam is able to force to defenses into situations that are disadvantageous, and he is able to make teams pay for cheating one way or the other run vs pass. Shane can’t force anything on a team. He can’t throw it over a team, so they don’t need to leave their safeties high, he can’t make tons of quick tight throws necessitating teams not blitz, and of course he can’t be used in the run game to keep them honest. He’s just so easily schemable.

    I know he was thrown into a game he wasn’t expecting to be in but has Shane gotten worse over his career? He used to have decent touch and an ok deep ball, today he had one good throw that I can remember (TD to CJ). Even his screen throws were behind the receiver and he overthrew duvernay by 5 feet on a 10 yard throw. He just isn’t good at a single facet imo. Doesn’t read coverage well, won’t or can’t throw over the middle, self sacks, seems to be a poor leader. I can’t really fathom why people ever really preferred him over Sam at any point. Just my two cebts
  9. I’d say they are fairly standard width, though they did take a bit of breaking in. If you have particularly wife feet you might go towards a brand with wider options.
  10. I have a pair of meermin oxfords, and they are beautifully made shoes. For the quality they are a good deal, likely in the same quality range as AE but cost a good bit less
  11. I would suggest something a bit more neutral than the ones you posted. I think those are a bit too overstated. I recommend anything from meermin, and derbies (bluchers) are good as nice but not as formal as oxfords https://meermin.com/in_en/shop/men/classic-collection/bluchers.html These chukka boots are something I’ve wanted for a long time, and I think they walk the line of nice but casual due to the pebbles grain of the leather https://www.herringshoes.co.uk/herring/gosforth-ii-rubber_rubber-soled-chukka-boots/tan-grain

    Is it your opinion he hasn't gotten any better in this winning stretch? I agree its dumb to say he's all better, but it seems obstinate to say he hasn't shown improvement.
  13. I noticed these as well, and it further led me to believe Beck isn't calling plays any more.
  14. Growing up 90s/00s in Austin, it was definitely known as N knocking and that fight chant was used as well. I think kids are going to parrot things they hear older kids say, and that as they get older and gain more perspective, they stop saying those things most of the time. I do believe it is relatively innocuous up until a certain age, when you learn the history of the word and the damage it can cause. Of course, if my parents ever heard me or any of my friends call it N knocking, I would've got reamed.
  15. We've been doing it all wrong! Instead of more money, less wins, why haven't we been doing less money, more wins?!

  17. Yeah, most of these accounts are offered from my company. We market to small banks and credit unions. The APY is usually around 2-3% up to 10-15k, then like .25% from there. Usually you have to just have 12 POS transactions and login to your account online to qualify, so pretty easy.
  18. One piece of advise I will offer is, as much as you can, keep moving. Do not stay bed ridden. Get it up to walk around, even if just for a few steps, every 30-60 minutes. It will make a difference if you keep at it.
  19. well, had one guy out for an estimate, they quoted me 42k for a 210 sq ft room! 200 a sq foot for a porch...
  20. I can attest to this. I used to work in an office building in the Domain until recently, and we shared our garage with the main garage for Rock Rose. Definitely a lot more blacks and hispanics than this flyer wants to admit.
  21. Understood. We'd probably go somewhere middle of the road material wise, flat roof, matching the existing structure, no fireplace. Would attach to where the current back door is and be tied in.
  22. The wife and I are looking to add about a 250 sq ft screened in porch in the backyard of our house. Thinking we'd have electrical to have some ceiling fans and likely keep it pretty simple on build out. Anybody done something like this in the Austin area? Any recs on contractors? Ballpark on price for this type of addition? We're new homeowners so new to the world of home renovations.

  24. Thanks for the replies guys. I hear you about it depends on where you are. My company had some PM roles come open but when talking to anybody doing that currently they haven’t exactly sold it based on their experience... Most likely I won’t pull the trigger to do that work at my current employer. They’ve been all over the place with headcount too. They’ll hire more BAs on one team, than a few months later fire the longer tenured BAs...it seems like everything is just seat of the pants from quarter to quarter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
