  1. Whenever I think Skenes outkicked his coverage, I remember he’s the best pitcher in the NL.
  2. Dana and may others, tip of the cap for waiting out Jake from Rake Farm.
  3. What’s the criteria? If a 3 year player gets drafted or a player transfers are they counted against the graduation rate? I would like Texas to make better progress, but I’d imagine there’s a large number of transfers/Sark rebuild roster turnoff built into the percentage.
  4. Teo is the trade that hurts the most. Glad he’s not haunting us.
  5. I had about an hour to kill before an appointment. I wanted to buy a ticket in theaters to help the guy out, so I bought a ticket.
  6. Lady Gaga is my generation’s Streisand. The obvious connections and the talent. Hopefully she’ll do enough films to give the comparison justice. Gaga has attended my church. Not really bragging. She was in Houston I for the Super Bowl, probably staying nearby, and it’s the nicest looking church for a few miles.
  7. Is this a good movie? I’m not sure. I watched half in the theater and half at home. I love and support Westerns. I like Viggo. While I appreciate making a subtle, slow paced film revolving around cinematography, it’s painfully devoid of action. Viggo’s character presents as pretty handy, and we get maybe 2-3 minutes of him showing his craft.
  8. Yeah, unfortunately he didn’t get offered good roles or couldn’t pick a good script to save his life. Presumed Innocent let how show his Broadway acting chops.
  9. I saw this thread was bumped, and I opened it hoping the show had been canceled. Nope.
  10. I’ll try to keep this from getting mushy. My wife had a really difficult recovery from surgery earlier this year. It was dire at one point. I promised her puppies to encourage her to get better. She called in her marker in May. They’ve been a blessing. Sure they do puppy things, but they brighten every day. They’ve changed our lives. We get along better. We appreciate things more. Anybody on the fence about getting a dog, please do it. You won’t regret it.
  11. Last round of shots today. Vet says patio restaurants are OK in a week, and they’re park ready in 2 weeks.
  12. As I’ve said before, do whatever the local media asks of you, invite them to your charity socials, do dumb commercials, and it coats you in Kevlar in this soft ass sports town. If you can come up a catch phrase even better. Josh Reddick sucked for much of Astros career, but you still have dumbasses calling into Houston sports talk suggesting the Astros sign him away from the Savannah Bananas. Bregman would be getting drilled with batteries, and LMJ would be getting run off of cheesesteak stands in Philly.
  13. Is the Don Julio Silver ok? T&P for my ranch waters.
  14. Playing baseball interferes with his charity work and filming HEB commercials.
  15. Fucking this. And they don’t keep anything cold. So after you run out of your tablespoon of ice, you’re on your own. I believe Miller Lite is only beer they serve now. Just pretty shitty.
  16. I think many of the preferred walk ons will be scholarship players elsewhere in the near future. Good for them. If I understand Title IV correctly, 20 additional football scholarships would create 20 additional women’s sports scholarships. Again good for them. That said only the Big Ten + SEC + SMU will be able to afford 40 additional full athletic scholarships. I think many Big 12, ACC, and P5 schools will stick at 85.
  17. I would strongly suggest the movie to everyone in the thread. It’s well worth $3.99. Strong Harrison Ford performance, and Raul Julia gives the best performance of his career. Lots of good supporting performances as well. It outclasses the show in every way imaginable.
  18. First episode of fine, but Lisa Kudrow needs to work on her delivery. I keep waiting for her to say, you should be in bed young man! It’s after 9pm.
  19. Ruth Negga is terrifying. Who rides a stationary bike in the dark, raw dog without music or TV?
  20. I gave nice clean options for both parties upthread, and they do this. Oh well, still the best way to spend that tricky 10am to 11am hour.
