  1. Boyd made a tackle. an optimist here, but 14-0 at the start of the 4th looks pretty good. Another dropped INT. 14-7 final.
  2. Sam, what 6 incompletions in a row? Mensa cannot ignore this entire 2nd half, can he?
  3. Shane was something like 7 for 7 his last game? Sam's shoulder is toast? Is this the true test of Mensa?
  4. add in one of the best modern running backs - without injuries that is.. Peterson - all day and McCoy in the same backfield. For one time ...."hail to the redskins, Hail victory!"
  5. thanks a bunch. I need to call TSA and ask what kind of access they will require. Frozen is the key, no doubt. Coleman has the best reviews for the buck.
  6. ....need recommendations, visiting Texas over the Christmas Holidays, want to bring one back here to Alaska, full of beef and pork. Want to check the cooler as luggage. Alaska Airlines and local airlines beat up every box that comes in the mail. Luggage will be treated about the same.
  7. The home was listed as a 3-2-2, 2306 square feet. The home is a 4-2-2. I knew something was up when we looked at the house. Blame/give credit to the fed. government. Built in 2001, in 2004 there were 3 repos on the street, 2 FHA and one VA. Two were on the correct side of the street, away from the light/noise pollution of the high school. We chose the bigger one, an FHA repo. The inside of the house really is 2725 square feet because there are few houses in any of the Fox and Jacobs Neighborhoods that had the 2703 square foot plan. Ours was one of those. It was a strange floorplan, because the kitchen from the 2703 square foot plan is exactly the same kitchen as the kitchen from the 2132 square foot plan. The 2306 square foot kitchen is a bigger kitchen. I know this because I saw the very few 2703 s. foot homes on realtor.com and compared them to the 2132 s foot plan. I remember asking our realtor in 2004 "Steve, how do we get out of this?" I was worried about a/c and bills for the additional 400 s feet. His response "You don't. You just enjoy the extra square footage." I worried for nothing. Our electric bill went from $140 for a 2-2 apartment to $190 for the house. That heat pump that everybody complains about was very energy efficient, and I watched the electric bill like a hawk for the first 10-12 years. Preparing to sell, I prepped my realtor by giving him a copy of the 2004 appraisal showing 2725 s. feet. I asked him if he was allowed to talk to the appraiser and he said yes, and we didn't hear anything from the appraiser, which was expected. However, the size of anything didn't make a bit of difference when we sold, unless the investor we sold to wants to put two families in there at one time, which is possible. Huge driveway, corner lot, means even more parking available. The home sold for about the same price as a good 3-2-2, imo. There were a lot of complaints from families about the master bedroom location-upstairs. Closing was Friday afternoon. We got plenty of good use out of the house. Today was supposed to be money day. Both mortgage companies say they will not know for sure that they received the wire transfer until tomorrow. We did get our money wired today, a substantial profit, and I paid off credit cards just now. here is the property. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/2500-Brinlee-Branch-Ln_MC-Kinney_TX_75071_M70501-89006?view=qv
  8. If aggy can get in on the strength of beating directional schools and an overrated basketball school, we shouldn't drop...maybe rise if a few above and just below falter. I don't see us moving much either direction. If we somehow win out, the number one thing is that Notre Dame has to lose. Imo, they lose to SC.
  9. Is that hardball...making a person be consistent? You claim warranty is worthless okay....take some cash and you get no warranty. Is that reasonable or not?
  10. Good question. Gives me something else to research. For some reason i thought we switched Freon years ago
  11. And the buyer might be having their side of this convo right now...another showing tomorrow.....almost exact same time.....who shops for a home at 300 pm in late July? Maybe someone who is interested in how well the AC works?
  12. Interesting. I have a hybrid strategy. Tell me how you would react to this..I already researched outside units. Goodman makes a high quality unit. Number 1 in a recent article... I offer to come to table with the 2363 dollars cash....and proof that the Goodman unit.....5 ton heat pump 16 seer outside unit can be bought for that amount. In return since you place 0 value on a HOW....the house comes with no warranty....at all. No counter .....take it or leave it. I think this is a good compromise because i the seller am calling the bluff that warranties are useless. I am saying you can't have it both ways....you can either have cash to buy a unit or you can have a warranty that covers the whole house. If the buyer folds and expresses interest in a warranty I reveal it's more than a one year warranty ...tell length of warranty....and make him choose. Fair?
  13. Correct but I never paid monthly. I paid a one time fee....probably in the 1600 dollar range. I was an existing customer and the company had done a good job covering incidents. Very unusual I believe. This company has done other things like every time you use their service they would give you an extra month of coverage.
  14. The reality is also that because I have taken good care of unit she works just fine. We are a 2 story facing south with a 2 story right next to us. Our unit is in shade in afternoon from the other house. Also most summers I let it get nice and hot upstairs when I am home Lots of mileage left on her. Today we had a showing..245 to 345.outside temp 103 I put therm at 78. I got home at 345 and inside temp upstairs was 78 and downstairs was 74! Working hard and she only has about 2 weeks of crazy heat left..thunderstorms are coming.
  15. To clarify it is 45 dollar fee per incident...warranty works. 2500 because the warranty expires March 2023. The company needed some cash one year and called people who were already customers...they offered about six more years of coverage for a low price..I want to say 1600...prices have gone up ...so I believe retail value of remainder of warranty to be 2500ish.
  16. Got a home for sale. Market has turned to buyers market in last 4 weeks. Incredible remodel done. Good price. In a sellers market I could have gotten by with my 17 year old AC outdoor unit..I have babied the unit..once sometimes twice per year it gets service. I have receipt only for last service in june.... I have big poker chip...home owners warranty expires March 23 I asked my realtor to keep big warranty in back pocket for negotiations. Retail value of how is probably 2500 Recommendations? Be ready with lowball estimates of replacing unit? Inside unit is 9 years old. Works.
  17. In addition to the core work..there is one other thing thing that has helped me...ashiatsu is a woman walking on your back chest legs....good therapist can move muscles....I feel like my ashiatsu lady is a combo of massage and chiro...reminds me I need to schedule one more visit.
  18. yes, subsidized. We will pay $830 per month, utilities included, for a 2 bedroom furnished apartment, on campus. Someone sent me pictures and I will walk about 60 yards to the building. We will need to provide small appliances, utensils, TV, etc. I don't think we're going to have cable TV. I hope not.
  19. about the blocking. How about little number 25 playing fullback and blocking his heart out. Was that Ham Jones? Also, how about Earl catching that long pass against the ags his senior year. That pass was in the air a long time. I had not seen that pass before. I remember the screen pass he caught against the Hogs in 77, but missed the long one against ags.
  20. re: the QB draw against Alabama, that film is an up close version. I remember watching it live and two things: 1. seeing the play on TV it looked like he was even further away from being touched. It seemed as if nobody was near him until the goal line. 2. That was when we were in a desert wasteland of offensive ideas. Akers had basically nothing after his first year when he got lucky with the idea of putting Earl in the I. It was soooo bad that supposedly the assistant coach in the booth recommended the QB draw was denied the credit by Akers. Akers claimed the draw was his idea. It bothered people for years, so much, about how we could produce a top-notch Leon Fuller/David McWilliams led almost all-conference type defense and on offense we looked like we had no coaching. Literally, like coming out of a timeout with a penalty for delay of game offensive coaching. That disparity is what cost Fred bigtime.
  21. no video, I think. Really old school, 1976-78 ish, Texas DB defeats block and flies through the air, hits RB in backfield about 4 yards deep. Legs kind of whip around RBs legs to knock him to the ground. Not a super-hard hit, but sooo incredibly effective. RB falls partially because he was shocked there was a defender that deep in the backfield. Very few tackles made behind the line like that one, I imagine.
