  1. That's what I was trying to get at. Switching between the services (me it's Direct TV Stream and Prime) is simple. But the time it takes to load can be annoying.
  2. It depends on the streaming service and device.
  3. I wouldn't bet a $3 dollar bill on that. This is the Cowboys we are talking about. Puro Pinche or not......
  4. Before any conference jumps at an Amazon exclusive deal for some content, they need to see how well the NFL did with it's trial run this most recently completed regular season. Just from logistics point with streaming, I can't see giving Amazon a chunk of the pie is a positive at this point because it's an exclusive platform. I have both Amazon Prime and Direct TV Stream and the thing that makes it more of a pain in the ass vs conventional cable is I can't go jumping from channel to channel to peek in on multiple games. On Alamo Bowl Thursday, I had my Ipad on Amazon Prime watching the Cowboys and the TV on the Alamo Bowl.
  5. It sure is a coincidence though two of the most memorable screw jobs by the Rig 12 Refs have been against Okie State.
  6. When they win like they did last September against us they certainly are until they lose again . But unlike aggy they don’t pretend to be consistent football power. They know they’ve been mediocre for most of their history in both the SWC and Big12. aggy thought they were an elite in the Big12 and they claim a share of the SEC title and the National title when Bama or Georgia wins because they are SEC! SEC! SEC!
  7. Well.... If it's inevitable, I just hope we get to play Tech at home and absolutely dog stomp them. Tech fans have been almost aggy like since they beat us and then topped that off with a win over Ole Miss who they seem to forget lost four of their last five games. Beating TCU on the way out would be a good thing too.
  8. In honor of the NFL playoffs and legends of the past. A Raquel Welch break.
  9. And go eat at the Red Snapper or the original Arturo’s. Panchos for a couple of drinks!
  10. What a comeback. Who is this Chris Beard fellow?
  11. The cartels might move on to smuggling gas stoves and V-8 gas engines.
  12. That's why they've moved on to other man-made stuff and human trafficking.
  13. I would say this is correct. But if they want to have someone taken out or path cleared for their organizations, they will do it to make it look like it doesn't involve them. Going into a McAllen neighborhood like they do in Reynosa won't fly here for obvious reasons. The way they do it is by bribery, buying stash houses in affluent areas, and other stealth like tactics to accomplish their goals. And really I think the bulk of the cartel stuff on the other side of the river that makes the news is happening in Reynosa, Juarez, and Nuevo Laredo. I feel "safe" going over to Nuevo Progresso or Las Flores as we natives still call it as I did decades ago. Always kept my money in my front pocket then and do it now. You don't hear much of stuff going on in Matamoros, Acuna, or Piedres Negras other than the on going immigration non sense. The cartels are involved deeply in all of that and certainly have their base of operations in those towns, but the shooting wars are just not as apparent as in the other above noted border towns.
  14. Have fun at the airport today https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/11/business/faa-outage-flights-grounded.html
  15. KK is going to wait for the aggy job to open in 2024 because he knows aggy is stupid enough to offer it to him.
  16. That fumble non call was a big one though. That Ref crew looked like it was heavily influenced by the home crowd.
  17. Glad to see NDSU lose after the way UIW got shafted with Rig 12 like Ref BS at Fargo during their semi final game
  18. I bet KK is gone either voluntarily or involuntarily with Arizona. He will probably take the year off and end up in the college ranks in 2024. Wonder if aggy will give him a chance once they fire Jimbo next fall?
  19. A rare moment of loyalty in the transfer portal; let's get to the NFL as soon as possible world football is today.
  20. The Plus Store on Saratoga and in Flour Bluff which are the newest ones in the area are as close to the Austin / San Antonio stores as we get. The one that kicks everyone's ass is the new one in New Braunfels! I can't wait to move up that wait in few years to enjoy the better offerings in a whole bunch of different things.
  21. Yeppppp... They own a big piece of land out here on 624 past the high school. They put in all the underground utilities a couple of years ago after sitting on it for years letting a Farmer grow a crop on it and taking advantage of the Ag exemption and paying like a couple thousand bucks on a multimillion dollar piece of property. Go figure. They haven't done anything yet to it although they have signs out there now marketing pad sites for the frontage of the property for restaurants and the such. With something like 5000 new homes in planning stages over the next few years west of US 77/I-69 that should be enough roof tops to get the project going because the lack of roof tops was a reason they slow tracked it after making a big deal they were going to build out here. RIght now they are really focused in getting their stores built and open in the DFW area.
  22. Richard Justice is to aggy for what Bagdad Bob was to Saddam Hussein.
