    anyone else’s soon to be senior drag ass all summer on their essays and narrowing down colleges/visits? Apparently it’s also too tough for them to even pull up a virtual drone campus tour on youtube, who knew.

    Mine did.  First day of senior English - the teacher made them write their college essay.

    I got a kid who just graduated UT Nursing (all 4 years) and then one of my twins is headed to UTSA this fall on CAP with designs on either Economics or McCombs if he can pull off that trick. He had plenty of other options but he was pretty much ride or die with Texas (his nickname on his HS baseball team was Bevo)  We live in DFW and seems like a lot of CAP kids up here try to land UTA but he was deadset on being closer to the mothership

    The Texas school of liberal arts just recently added a BS in Economics which is more math focused and is available for CAP students.

    I'm not sure on the CAP program details, I just know about it from someone else that was offered it. She's not sure if she wants to spend her freshman year at one school and then transfer to UT only to be behind yet again in making friends and missing out on the freshman experience in Austin. I get it. It mirrors her freshman year of high school that was disjointed for the personal reasons I discussed above. She missed out on making some friends but bounced back in that department. I was honest with her about my UT experience that also started out elsewhere and then made me a bit behind on making friends. Her mother had the opposite experience with all 4 years on campus. So I get it. I think if it is where she really wants to be then it's a good option but honestly, she's such a smart kid and very determined so she'll do fine wherever she goes. 

    My daughter did the CAP at UTSA.  All three of her roommates were on the same program.  She lived with two out of the three in Austin for the remainder of their schooling and stayed friends with the other.  All four graduated from Texas in May.

    I didn't know a Scissor Tailed Fly Catcher existed until last week. 

    State bird of Oklahoma.

    To keep it relevant.  OU and Gout sucks!

    I listen to SRV all the time.  In fact, my ringtone and alarm is Pride and Joy.

    Watching him play takes all of the songs to another level.  He was so bad ass.

  6. One of my first albums.

    Only saw him once when he and Elton did the dualing pianos tour. 

    Will be watching the doc when the wife returns from Hawaii.

  7. Stopped at Reese Bros Barbecue in Thursday on the way to Baffin Bay.  Got there right at Noon and there were 4 people in line.

    Brisket tacos, poblano mac and cheese, herbed slaw.  Everything was great.   Not shown - half pound each of brisket and carnitas and four tortillas.   Brisket tacos before heard out for a day of fishing is the way to go.

    Swung by 2M Smokehouse on the way home, but the line at 11:00 was too long.   Probably 20 folks.

  8. Two really good goals with Uzuni contributing on both.  His first goal was a master class on his to burn defenders right up the middle.  

  9. Rubio and Uzuni are starting.  Not sure who will be the striker.  Uzuni could be LW or Rubio at attacking mid again.  Since Uzuni can't actually locate the LW, I'd rather see him up top and Owen at LW.

    I'll probably fall asleep before the game even starts. 

    ¡listos!

    My stay at the north rim cabins is one of my favorite national park experiences. So peaceful and quiet, especially compared to the south rim zoo.

    Agreed.  The wife and I camped at the north rim 28 years ago.  The experience was wonderful and the lodge was amazing.

    Interestingly, one of the park rangers noted that there was little to no preventive controlled burns and that the whole place would be wiped out with a real wildfire.

    does anyone understand how the fuck calves work and why are they constantly in pain right now?    fuck.

    I take magnesium glycinate at night to help with calf cramps while sleeping.

    Understanding fuck calves is probably more apropos for TexAgs.

    Agreed that Jonas and Tadej look closer than ever, minus that TT performance. 

    The stage prior, Tadej made an attack and Jonas responded.  After the race, Jonas noted that he had his best ever one-minute performance and that he is more explosive now.  Just wondering if that new explosiveness comes the cost of his ability to recover.  Something kept him from putting in the TT that was expected. 

  14. Interesting starting lineup with Uzuni and Rubio up top.  I suspect Rubio will be in an attacking mid role as opposed to dual strikers.

    ¡Listos!

    This is going to be Uzuni's breakout match.

    It's literally bbq. It is just mixed in with the most delicious rice in the world. 

    Tomato, طـَما َطـِم

    I make brisket fried rice but don't consider it barbecue.  It's fried rice with smoked meat.
