    Colorado locals hating Texans and out of state property owners has been a thing forever.  I remember complaints going back to the early 80s when my family first bought property there. The proliferation of short term rentals has exacerbated the problem, so I can certainly understand them being pissed about not being able to live in the towns they work in while staring at $10 to 50 million dollar giant houses that stay empty 90% of the time or all the condos that are short term rentals.

    There are still some cool mountain places that are affordable.  If I was looking for a place in CO at today's prices, I would consider something in or around Salida.  But most of the resort towns have gotten stupid expensive. I am actually looking now at Montana.  Found a place in Whitefish that could be perfect. On the verge of permanently noping out of Texas summers.

     

    I have some friends that are leaving Colorado and moving to Montana.  It's beautiful there but, damn, the winters are rough.  The winters in Colorado aren't bad at all...definitely not what I was expecting when I moved here.  I moved here to escape the heat and haven't returned since.  The hottest it gets where I live is 80 degrees and I bitch about THAT heat.  Lol!!!  

    A lot of the resort towns are now putting restrictions on short term leasing your house, which isn't doing anybody any damn good because the locals can't afford the houses anymore.  I live in Evergreen and you can still get houses for semi-reasonable prices.  From here you have access to Denver (35 minutes away) or skiing/snowboarding (35 minutes away).  Conifer is also a pretty good option as you can get more for your money, have easy access to Denver and ski resorts, and it is beautiful with easy winters.

    I've never understood why people from Colorado seem so angry. This is true for the little pussy in this thread, but also for Buffs fans in general - there's a lot of weird anger in that fanbase. They always seem pissed off and combative with a weird chip on their shoulder. 

    Colorado as a place seems so nice and laid back. Every lawyer in my firm who lands a national client moves to our Denver office and immediately starts phoning it in. They WFH at their "mountain house" and let the junior partners do all the work. They know they've got it made so why sweat it out on the bayou?

    The weather in CO is pleasant if you don't mind the cold (and it's miles better than Houston in any case), cost of living is modest compared to CA and NY, there's great skiing and hiking, great breweries, weed is legal, etc. etc. etc. 

    So why so angry all the time? 

    I folded my law firm and moved my family to the top of a mountain in Colorado many years ago...from Houston.  It was the greatest decision I ever made.  The people are generally laid back; however, the influx of people moving here definitely gets the locals unruly because the price of real estate is getting too high and the hiking trails are getting crowded.  My closest neighbor is from Dallas and the first thing we both did when we moved here was get Colorado license plates.  My wife and I both got real estate licenses to make some extra retirement money and I make more money now than I did practicing law for 24 years...and most of my clients are from out of state.  Back to the point: the people here are actually really cool and laid back but they want to keep the state's vibe like that, which is getting increasingly harder to do.

    Finally can tell my aggy story. 
     

    Have a good insight into this kids recruitment and I’m still laughing about his visit to aggy. Dude gets his player host (I’ll let y’all find who that is) and since it was midweek the host has to go to class, Livingstone gets invited to attend class as well but the player host was extremely late, got kicked out of class and went back to his dorm to smoke weed until practice while leaving Livingstone in the class. 

    Livingstone sits through this dudes underwater bb stacking class or whatever and goes to the football facility by his lonesome for practice to see if he can even find his host. He still can’t, but he proceeds to listen to Jimbo and Petrino mother fuck each other and their players for the next two hours. Just pure hatred between those two, the only people they hate more than each other is their players, all of them. Kid leaves a day early and aggy doesn’t understand why…

    On the flip side, the whole family can’t brag enough on Jackson and how much they love him. I think he’s gonna be a beast, welcome to the 40 kid!

    Hahahahahahahaha.  That is fucking hilarious.  How do you screw up a visit THAT bad?

    Many Texans are absolutely scared of cold weather. 

    I live at the top of a mountain in Colorado and I will take -20 degrees with 8' of snow over the Texas heat any day of the week.  I haven't been back to Texas since I left because the heat would kill me now.  I remember when I moved back to Texas after living in San Diego, CA for 6 years...it was friggin painful.

    Beartooth Highway is indeed spectacularly beautiful and breathtaking, but as I recall the road was fairly wide, well kept, and had guardrails most/all of the way.

    One of the most unnerving trips I recall was Mt. Evans road.  It's billed as the highest paved road in North America and takes you to the top of a 14er.  The road was narrow, not in great shape in places, but most disconcerting was being above the treeline with no guardrails.  The steep drops with no rails or trees between you, the edge, and the bottom was nerve wracking.  However, the view form the top was spectacular and worth the drive nonetheless.

    I live about 25 minutes from Mt Evans.  Even though I live at the top of a mountain and am used to driving them, that drive to the top of Mt Evans still makes my stomach turn.  I still think Red Mountain Pass on the Million Dollar Highway is worse...no guardrails and your tires are a couple of feet away from the drop off.

    Shot in the dark here, maybe it’s Chris Steele. Height, skin tone, arm size, and lack of tattoos all matchup. He recently had a few cloudy crystal ball picks put in. The only holes in this theory are that he already used all 5 OVs I think, and his 247 page indicates he’s announcing at an All American game, not Wednesday. But it’s possible he’s moved up his time frame and this is an UOV.

    It looks like Mykael Wright to me.  Correct size, number, skin tone, Cali defensive player, and has an offer.

    Two California dudes talking about a secret visitor/commit is obviously referring to another California dude. #ShockTheWorld

    Maybe the "shock" is a flip from Mycah Pittman or Mykael Wright.
