  1. It’s hard for me to hold parents responsible for not looking deeper into the flood safety procedures of these camps, when just five days ago I made a reservation on the Blanco River in an RV park and never once thought about the flood risk.
  2. Culpable? He’s probably why Finley did it.
  3. Every stupid thing a kid does is a data point about his or her character. Doesn’t necessarily mean they will suck as athletes for their college, but odds are odds.
  4. Did Austin firefighters deploy to Liberty Hill and Georgetown? Because I know for a fact that Round Rock firefighters deployed to Liberty Hill and performed numerous water rescues and evacuations.
  5. I don’t think King George is Rex.
  6. Admit you spent 9 hours crafting your post.
  7. Yes, I mentioned it above somewhere. San Saba is tore up on the east side and the river is still very wide and flowing hard.
  8. San Saba county has a flood warning until 7 pm Tuesday.
  9. Pouring in leander
  10. Just drove thru San Saba. Lots of out of town fire trucks in the area. The San Saba River is swollen big. Floods cut thru on east side of town. And it’s pouring rain a mile east of town. Fortunately it’s moving east.
  11. Do those apps cause the Apple Watch battery to burn down fast? I’m unclear whether it’s turning on the gps, or using gps from the iPhone.
  12. Oh hell no. Scorpio’s the best poster in this site.
  13. Thank you sooo much. This is exactly what I had been trying unsuccessfully to find.
  14. Finally put a poster on ignore that I should have years ago. He’s incredibly unfunny but thinks he is. No more scrolling thru his garbage posts.
  15. Google maps shows 183 closed at the North San Gabriel . Is that not the case?
  16. Good ideas, if I can figure out how to navigate thru 183 or i35 near town. So is 29 still screwed? I can’t find any information.
  17. So we need just a little bit of help. I’m trying to accompany my daughter and grandkids back from the San Angelo area to Round Rock tomorrow. I’m trying to figure out the safest path back, but the problem is that both San Saba and Llano are showing extensive flooding. So I don’t know if it’s clear on 190 east thru San Saba. It seems like 29 thru Llano is toast. Thoughts?
  18. I’m guessing about 50%.
  19. Just had a family member drive from Kingsland to Austin. 71 was fine. 1431 has closed spots.
  20. Does anyone know what’s going on in Liberty Hill? My Son in law is a fireman and has been doing water rescues and evacuations all night. I assume it’s something to do with the north branch of the San Gabriel?
  21. Oh I don’t think he’s low IQ for taking $5m. Very few can pass that up. Hell I’d have taken it too. But, IMO players who are truly great top nfl prospects are confident and focused on getting to the league, and do everything in their power to maximize their odds of getting there. Those types of people are insanely driven and make intelligent decisions. IMO him going to Tech could mean he’s just not one of those guys. He doesn’t have the intelligence overall to be one of those special players. No shame in that. I just think the best of the best think differently and are motivated slightly differently.
  22. Think about the type of player you’re getting at Tech if he’s been money whipped extravagantly to go there of all places. He’s someone who doesn’t care that much about championships. He’s someone who doesn’t care that much or believe that he can be developed into a much better player in college. He’s someone who isn’t thinking about how to properly position himself best for the nfl. He’s taking the short cut of just getting as much money as possible right away and then just assuming the nfl is waiting with open arms. These are low IQ players, jumping at whatever money they can get and probably don’t have the work ethic, focus, or intelligence to really succeed and exceed. I see the whole scenario as a way for Texas to weed out pretenders. Now losing players to LSU, OSU, etc is a different matter. But Tech? Pfffft.
  23. It was said for some time Texas wouldn’t get both Turntine and Ojo. Would you rather have the player who acted like a punk or the one who has a better reputation. Now Sark has to go get another, or flip Lee or Krempin or Rosenrosen.
