Landman
Mrs. Smwhorn and I agree that the writing for the female characters has not been all that great. Speculation is that Pop is going to come up with some magical/great idea that no one else thought of that gets everyone out of the mess they're in currently.

Movies that stuck to or significantly deviated from the book
I started a thread sometime back about All The LIght We Cannot See being made into a movie. The book is awesome and one of the best I've read in a long, long time (and I'm old). I did not see the movie bc of so many negative posts about the movie and how it deviated from the book. It's a great book. If you haven't read it, put it on your list.

2025 Ryder Cup -- Bethpage
And Keegan's been playing every week too. Can't blame him really bc he's been playing great, but not focused solely on the RC like Luke Donald. Not making excuses for Keegan's captaincy decisions, just thinking it is probably better to have a captain who does nothing else (mostly) during his tenure.

Jacksonville/Gainesville
We're (six old guys) renting an Airbnb in Jacksonville. Any suggestions on best ways in and out of Gainesville? We are probably just going to drive in and out on the day of the game. Parking/backroads/pregame suggestions would be much appreciated. I'll hang up and listen.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Good food but ridiculously expensive.

All things going to Columbus for season opener
Worst fans ever. I'm 62. I've been going to Longhorn games since I was 4 (yes, really, parents met at and graduated from Texas). Worse than Arky, which is saying something. After the VY game in Columbus, they were peeing in beer bottles and gatorade bottles and throwing them a Texas fans.

“I’m your huckleberry.” RIP, Val Kilmer
Lots of great movies. The scene between Ice and Mav in Top Gun Maverick, although short, was fucking nails. This is a nice moment. Let's not ruin it. RIP Val.

RIP John Feinstein
https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/44238523/sports-columnist-author-john-feinstein-dies-age-69 Don't really know where to put this one. His book on the Army/Navy rivalry was excellent. Most of his books were excellent.

I'm reading this now. I'm just now to the part where they are starting to try to break out. Trying to be as vague as possible.

Texas at Arkansas- Wednesday, 8pm on ESPN2
I have never rooted for Texas to lose at anything, anytime, ever. I never will. However, if we happen to lose tonight's game, I'm thinking we will have a new MBB coach next season (although I suppose we could have a new one next year even if we happen to win).
