  1. They are pretty intact although they were inundated almost to the ceiling. The inundation itself wasnt the problem. The river crested pretty rapidly, filling up the cabins, and then fell rapidly and the water draining out of the cabins sucked all the remaining girls out the doors and windows.
  2. These aren't lake houses, they are river houses on hill country rivers well-known to flash flood. Yes, everybody wants to be on the water. On a lake, great. But on a river like that its not that fucking hard to figure it out. We know a lot about geology and hydrology and meteorology in this day and age. The evidence is all over the place of what has happened before -- water shaped all the river valleys. There are no lakes above that location to catch floodwaters. NPR said the other day the the Guad was the most deadly river in the U.S. It should not surprise anyone that this would happen eventually.
  3. Now that I've cooled down, its true that there are a sprinkling of kids at these summer camps that come from extreme privilege, but for the vast majority it is a generational tradition and is filled with ranch girls and others from self-made, pillar-of-the-community families
  4. no. The camp is haunted. It should become a memorial
  5. The parents of all the other campers I know are the same, highly involved with their children
  6. I have coached every team my kids have played on. In fact I've basically been Mr. Mom for a couple years. Wife is a surgeon. I didn't have a part in the decision to send our daughter to Mystic. My wife went there and met all of her best friends there. All their daughters were there. Thankfully ours survived but not all of them did. Try again.
  7. Stop with this shit. “My guess” is hilariously wrong. I don’t want to get in a pissing match and I don’t want to tell the story now but my daughter was there and I just spent the following 4 days out there with about a dozen of the other campers of all ages/cabins.
  8. And when you’re coming off a great first season as HC and have NIL aligned behind you
  9. Can I poop in someone else’s hand this time?
  10. Borba sucks ass. Quit looking at season stats you nerds. He was pathetic in important situations. (As were Gaspo and Flores down the stretch) I think a healthy A Rod could make us proud at 3b
  11. With other forms of air defense not cutting it against drone swarms, I bet the Ukrainians roll out interceptor drones they design/produce domestically before we know it
  12. I love the R2D2 noises the house geckos make when it rains
  13. He ended the season strong at the plate and I was looking forward to seeing if he would take a step next year. Surprises me a bit
  14. I think we bring in a corner infielder, SS, OF, C, and a couple of proven pitchers
  15. Flores needs to move to 3b and we bring in a SS via the portal
  16. I love these, have two and have bought others as gifts. First part of my morning routine https://1zpresso.coffee/
  17. I consider that a great job considering the pieces they had to work with
  18. We need better play at 3B, SS, and lose C, 1B and an OF. Development of younger guys (or true freshmen coming in) could answer a couple of those spots. I do expect us to go to the portal to fill the others. I don't think it will be a "whoever is best" approach in the portal, I think we put feelers out for specific guys around the country Schloss sees as a fit. More than likely from mid major programs. We have lots of arms and are developing them really well, but wouldn't surprise me to bring in another proven arm in the portal either. I expect us to improve and thats saying a lot given our phenomenal regular season this year. Lol at shaking up the coaching staff after finishing #2 overall, or that hitting coaching was the problem
  19. I can't find a replay now, but when I saw it yesterday I didn't see anything dirty. If you're lying on the ground in front of the base, your chest may get spiked.
  20. I hope Borba tears it up for Abilene Christian or somebody next season. Hook em
  21. I thought Ruger’s kill shot was going to be so lethal they went ahead and changed their name
