  1. That's such an extreme exception, I don't even know what to say. Do you need the 480 counter examples of kids who miraculously ended up at Katy/ Aledo/ Westlake who didn't grow up there?
  2. 1975 Masters. ChiChi Rodriguez and caddy.
  3. I admittedly enjoyed it. Was texting back forth with oldest son, who does golf and I said I was entertained, as an ode to Maximus imploring the crowd. His reply- "Damn, that's high praise from you."
  4. I've watched more golf in the past 3 days than the rest of my life combined. Don't know any of the personalities/ missteps by players except that this tourney title has eluded McIlroy. It was highly entertaining and was wanting more playoff holes, but it's very cool that he got the win. As a reminder, Dale Earnhardt took 20 attempts to win the Daytona500...and later died there.
  5. It blew away all of your grass!!! ( glad y'all are safe!!!)
  6. Wait we can call those in? I thought that was just a rivals joke in sports.
  7. I'm not whining. I'm describing what is going on with big time college football. The colleges are basically a front. The current product, if he will, has virtually nothing to do with the original intent of having student athletes who represented a school.
  8. UIL is defanged. There is absolutely recruiting going on in Texas high school sports. They allegedly do not allow it. If they were serious about it, they would make any student athlete who didn't attend that school or it's junior high feeders sit out one year in order to be eligible. And that would only be a first step. Also, to be clear, I'm not discrediting amateurism. I was making fun of how the NCAA hid behind it for years.
  9. The people who run college football, just like the folks who ran pro boxing; although I do believe college football or whatever iteration we have 25 years from now will remain popular. The shenanigans will continue to impact the game on the field.
  10. To clarify, I meant Amateurism as an ingredient in the recent future. It was a red herring in the pursuit of "purity" or "sanctity of sport. Yes, there are still student athletes, but not as much in this realm any more. I'd also posit the pursuit of academics in general serves the same purpose with regard to bigtime college football/ hoops. Both the NBA and NFL should have true minor leagues and they know it, but that toothpaste ain't exactly jumping back in the tube.
  11. So Tennessee's RC never offered for 2025 is what they're saying? Of course they are. Regardless of the institutions involved , the coaches, or the players; I'm here for the upheaval of the business of college football. Y'all fucked it up; and it's headed the way of pro boxing. All because of the desire for controlling money and some idiotic pursuit of amateurism. The revenue sharing plan ain't gonna do jack shit to set things straight either.
  12. I was adopted at age 4. My adoptive father left our family when I was 9. Fuck both of em. Family is who loves ya, and vice-versa. I agree with Inka saying fuck the paperwork.

    NBA History

    Fuck the Celtics and cry-baby ass Danny fucking Ainge.
  14. Haven't seen one of these in about 2 years. It's a solid scotch( strong) ale.
  15. I have been given realistic hope for more grandkids. Both my son and his wife are smart AF with regard to book smarts, both having their Masters. They have had 2 children and we were told they are done. Totally cool. Their choice. Accept my blessings. We love the grandbabies to death! Then a few days ago, wife tells me the only "birth control" they are using is one of those rings that detects when ovulation occurs, among other health measures. I just started laughing in disbelief and smiling in genuine happiness, "We're gonna have a third grandkid!!!" They call people who use those methods, "Parents."
  16. Jackie ain't comin out!!!
  17. Yeah, well... they blew it twice.
  18. They older you get, they stay the same age.
  19. Maybe Cubans Mavs fully funded the WNBA. Did you consider that? No. There's no fucking way they were a "loss-leader" in Cuban's financial profile.
  20. Impeccable timing!!!
  21. 3 fouls in :09 was insane. You're not supposed to notice that shit.
  22. Fla with the bitchassedness l
