  1. 84 year-old FIL is voting for Trump.  Why, in his words...

    • Trump is a successful businessman and will do a better job managing the economy.
    • Biden (and now Harris) will take all of our money with their tax changes
    • Trump's position on immigration
    • Trump is a Christian
    • Judicial appointments
    • Trump tells it "like it is" about the media bias

    I do not engage whenever he brings any of it up.  Not worth it, as we are not going to change each other's mind.  SMH

  2. I am looking for a new primary care physician (PCP) in the Austin Area.  I live NW, and am willing to drive to the right person.

    I neglected to visit my "normal" PCP for a couple of years and the are now treating me like a new patient, of which he no longer accepts.  For my annual physical last year, I went to a random doc and it was "so so" but I got all the blood work.  

    What say you, SurlyHorns?

    Maybe Sark has learned something...if you ain't rubbin' you ain't racin'.  Kirby Smart is going apeshit for 90% of the game, almost every play.  and you can guarandamtee it is working on these sons of bitches.

    Kirby Smart is a clown.  He has some fool on staff who is responsible for pulling at his belt to keep him off the field.  I do not care how good of a football coach he is, he's a stinking clown.

    The NFL doesn't even have full time professional refs. 

    This. 

    And the NFL does not have a playoff system and/or incentive structure that influences conferences to properly "stack" teams to maximize playoff and bowl opportunities.  The new playoff system motivates the SEC and B1G to have the top-4 to top-6 or so of its teams all at the same record/level/etc. for as long as possible.

    She will be fine. Might be good for her. A lot of the world lives like they do in Cuba. Flying around the globe at night is a great reminder of that. 

    Kiddo (JR @ GWU) just got back from 2.5 months in Northern Uganda building an add on for a refugee shelter. yeah it was rough a bit, more on her colleagues than her, but they managed.

     

    I do not disagree w/ you, but I cannot help but be a little worried.  That's what parents do.  I do not want to deter her from going, but want to make sure she is aware of what is going on there.  She is.  

    In fact, doing something like that might actually be good for me :)

  6. Daughter #1 (UT undergrad) teaches MS in the Bronx.  Completed her masters at Hunter College in NYC and recently was awarded a 1-week study abroad in...  Cuba.  They have a Cuban professor sponsor, but...  Not like that person will magically keep power on 24 hours a day and help with fresh water.  It does not happen until Feb, but I must admit that I am a tad nervous.

    This might be right, but it hasn't aged well in this thread.

    It definitely did not age well.  Nor did I expect what happened in the 2nd half.  I'm somewhat optimistic for what could follow...

  8. My brother has been insisting that Tomlin is the problem.  Not convinced of that yet, but hiring of Arthur Smith surprised me.  I cannot tell if he’s bad or if he has a bad roster to deal with.  I feel like we are seeing PIckens peak years being squandered.

    I went to Pitt with Teryl Austin, the Steelers DC and I am amazed that he has not yet started to get some heat. This defense is so not clutch.

    Been “not clutch” for many years.  Steelers need around a 14 point lead heading into the 4th quarter for a “guaranteed” win.  Seems like they always give up long drives late in the 4th.

    Even given that completion I’m not sure that Wilson is really the answer to what ails the Steelers.

    I hope I am mistaken but, I think the offensive line problems are still too big.

    Tend to agree that the OL has struggled for a few years.  

    Problem tonight looks like shitty tackling.

    Doubtful. Y’all’s fanbase needs a lifetime supply of Ozempic. Fat, stupid, and drunk redneck morons. Worst fanbase I’ve ever seen at DKR. Y’all made Bama look fantastic.

    Ohio State and West Virginia say, "Hello."  That said, it could be a 3-way tie...
