  2. Pull Over! No, it's a cardigan, but thanks for noticing.
  3. FWIW (not much), this guy is transferring to Texas from LSU as a walk on. Might be coming as a TE? Not sure, but might split that Surly Burnt Ends pie another way.
  4. weekend of August 21st.
  5. yes, Tannahill Love is Chef Tim Love's son. it is good weight.
  6. FWIW, Jordon Thomas is up over 270 now.
  7. I refinanced almost exactly a year ago - went from a 30 year at 4.0% to a 15 year at 2.75%. We're happy in the 15 year mortgage and we're happy in our house - not looking to move for at least the next 10 years, and probably more. Does it make sense to refinance again?
  8. Here's a closer look:
  9. I don't know who it is, but Kerstetter would be my guess. He had a nasty black eye a few seasons ago from a fight with Malcolm Roach, and he has a penchant for impulsive personal foul penalties.
  10. Gabe has been my favorite since early in the season. I'm glad he won. I noticed he has a bachelors and masters degree in Mechanical Engineering from UT. Especially nice to see a longhorn win. If you know that Tom's opinion is the only one that matters, and if you know Tom's facial cues (he doesn't exactly have a great poker face), this one wasn't really a mystery. Gabe won comfortably. Odd choice for Shota to take it in a comfort food direction. He's at his best with subtlety and finesse. Dawn just flat out didn't belong. I've been down on Maria as a top half worthy top chef contestant, but she was an awesome sous chef and - for obvious reasons - a particularly good match with Gabe. It did make me chuckle when she advocated against deep frying the head cheese only to have the judges end up saying it wasn't crispy enough. Still, she was clearly a strong net positive for Gabe, as Byron was for Shota. Dawn just doesn't work well giving direction and limited what Jamie could do. I remember reading a post upthread a few days ago that pretty much nailed the sous chef breakdown - prescient. I was worried for Padma. She is getting older, and I thought she might throw out her back carrying Dawn all episode. It really felt like they were searching for ways to find nice things to say to maintain some sense of balance. Again, if you key in on Tom he was not impressed - probably wishing Sara had made it through. Overall not the best season, but any Top Chef is always enjoyable for me. I'm already ready for the next season.
  11. The Vegas season was my favorite. Amazing high end talent that season.
  12. not doubting you, but was curious where you got the info? I googled and couldn't find anything.
  13. thought some of y'all might like a different angle.
  14. The merits/demerits of Bill O'Brien as an offensive coordinator seem to miss the point. O'Brien did not take that job intending to be the offensive coordinator at Alabama for the next 5 years, the same way Doug Marrone does not intend to be the OL coach at Alabama for very long. This is an arrangement where Alabama gets to flex and show that former NFL head coaches are willing to be coordinators/position coaches under Saban, and the O'Briens and Marrones of the world get to kick ass with a massive talent advantage, rehab their images, and position themselves quickly for a better job. The Mannings, by all accounts, are not stupid and naive in this process. Whatever the pros and cons of Alabama, they almost certainly do not think O'Brien will be the offensive coordinator throughout Arch's college playing years and will not be basing their much of their decision on Bill O'Brien's offense.
  15. Sadly, it appears Pierce went to the Grady Little school of managing.
