  1. I know this has been mentioned before... but the next motto *should* be - Fuck around and find out.
  2. Y'all get back in the club, it's all over with...
  3. The legal name is 'The Woodlands'. I seem to remember seeing Spring on some mail addressed to me a few times,though.
  4. Years ago, I worked for a guy who would talk about going to the woodlands to visit in-laws. I would always illicit a WTF look from me. It took a few times of him mentioning it to realize it was indeed 'The Woodlands'. I ended up living there for 8 years at some point.
  5. Obligatory... Fuck the Big XII. Looks like pollsters had some sense about the situation. Re: Craig Way Before the big TV contracts for college football, you pretty much were stuck listening to the Esso\Exxon Radio Network sponsored radio broadcasts. I grew up listening to Frank Fallon on Saturday nights in the fall. I consider Fallon to be one of the GOATs. Schoening and Way are in that same realm. Way calls UT games like he is calling a High School Championship game. He pretty much keeps any bias he has in check. The only time that *I* have heard him have a 'WTF' moment was the 2015 Okie State game. I can get why people might turn him off from 10-12, but when it is game time, we are fortunate to have him calling it from our broadcast booth.
  6. I will still watch Batman. I remember when they cast Keaton as Batman, there was a bit of a rhubarb about it. He was good enough for me for *that* movie. That being said, BR and the rest from that time frame are not worth the time at all.
  7. No one cares...
  8. Just stumbled on this thread. The MJ rookie card stings. Had a chance to buy it or a Joe Montana RC... who knew. Still have the Montana RC. Any of y'all buy or sell? I have some RCs like Jerry Rice, Earl Campbell... 84 Topps with Marino, Dickerson, Elway RCs, 89 Score with Barry Sanders, Aikman RCs First year of Hoops smattering of other brands and odd collections First Beckett for Basketball with MJ on the cover. I always hear about E-bay as the way to go as far as selling. Seems like shops only care about flavor of the month type stuff. BTW...used to have an decent collection of baseball cards but my ex tossed them in the bottom of a storage room which was eventually flooded. Brett and Yount RCs that I bought as a kid were in there.
  9. Again...
  10. The Carrie Underwood version...man. My wife's maternal grandmother was a devout Southern Baptist, every time the door is open she was in church, lady. This was her favorite hymn. In the winter of 94, I moved my family of four to the Colorado Apartments on Lake Austin Blvd from Waco, Texas. This was so I could get an undergrad degree at Texas. My wife was the main bread winner making around 20K a year at the time. Her grandmother, Nanny H., was pretty much our benefactor. She sent my daughters money and when things were underwater, she covered us. When we moved from the Colorado to Brackenridge Apts (from a 2 to 3 bedroom) she bought us a washer and dryer and continued to cover us when necessary. A few years later, I graduated and within two weeks of me landing a permanent job, she passed away. Every time we look back on that experience, we always say 'Thank God for Nanny H.' My daughters honored her by playing this hymn at their weddings. I still tear up every time I hear this song or anytime I play it and say 'Thank God for Nanny H.' As you were...
  11. Texas, given its size and land area, has over two times the amount of Bigfoot sightings, btw. https://www.bfro.net/GDB/default.asp
  12. Go back to Jersey, sonny. This is the City of the Angels and you haven't got any wings.
  13. The Vanished = the plague.
  14. Remember when he broke the record. What a moment. My FIL followed his Minor(Jacksonville, Fla) and Major League field religiously. He corresponded with Aaron and he(FIL) had a signed framed letter hanging in the pool room for decades.
  15. Landing K9i would be awesome.
  16. I feel like we are Andy Dufresne and we have spent 11 years crawling threw the sewage drains and we can see light... at least until football season starts.
  17. Aggy reminds me of when Daingerfield won state in 83. Daingerfield beat Robinson 22-0 in Area. It was the closest game that the Tigers played on their way to the state championship. At the State Championship game, there were a couple of Robinson kids walking around with a banner in the stands basically proclaiming Robinson should be number 2 in the state because they only lost by 22.
  18. Alluded to earlier in the thread... the world needs to take a time out and watch this. Lots of 'feel good' moments and themes throughout. Thanks for all the recs!
  19. Lasorda was one of my favorite baseball personalities. He was great for the Dodgers and MLB in general. RIP.
  20. Up yours, Jobu.
  21. Seger is still a staple for me. Great date music back in the day.
  22. My grandpa taught me how to hit, catch and throw. I went and saw this about a year after he passed. It took me a few minutes to collect myself before I could leave the theater. Leave not a kind word unspoken or a good intention undone.
  23. Welllll...FUCK!!!! Ladies and Gentlemen, it has been real. May God have mercy on our souls. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
