  1. Does Fubo have Austin local ABC channel, KVUE? In some places on their website it says yes, but others it just has a generic ABC channel.
  2. So we are about to drop U-Verse and unless I'm missing something, there is going to be no way to watch the Astros any more unless they appear on a normal broadcast channel. Space City Network isn't available except for DirectTV stream, which we probably don't want. Am I missing an option that isn't too expensive? I'm leaning to YTTV and guess I could pay for something else on top of that. The wife wants her Astros.
  3. I tried that already. Given where I'm located in Leander, every channel comes in fine except for CBS. So I need something higher and outside.
  4. Cross posting from the other thread regarding OTA antennas. Does anyone know someone in Austin that could install an outdoor antenna on the second story of the house and tie into an existing coax cable that runs into all the rooms of the house? Also, what is DirectTV stream looking like these days? I'm dropping U-Verse for most likely YTTV but would consider Directv streaming too I guess.
  5. Does anyone know a person in Austin that could install a TV antenna on the outdoor second story of our house? I have coax run to each room already but the person would I assume tie into the coax line in the attic. I could probably figure it out and do it myself, but I just don't want to mess with it.
  6. What’s the story with all these sketchy sites? Aren’t they just infecting your computer with malware so they can steal your banking login information? What is their business model, if not that? I’m once again doing my annual cord cutter analysis. As probably the last U-Verse customer in the Southwest United States, I have forfeited the right to make fun of my dead parents anymore for keeping their rotary dial phone well into the 1990’s. The prices on U-Verse have now reached a $85-100 per month premium vs other alternatives like Hulu+ and YTTV, with the only advantages now down to having Astros, Rangers, Stars, Mavs, Spurs, and all other networks on an easy clickable remote. Any other non-Uverse option loses Astros. The other teams could be purchased separately from a different service if necessary, or are already free, like Stars on Victory+. So until I read that YTTV could have Fox go dark, I was getting ready to turn off U-Verse this week. Now I’ll wait until next week.
  7. Where did he put the antenna? Hoa rules in our subdivision prohibit outdoor antennas, and our roof decking is metal backed, making attic placement impossible too.
  8. It’s not a horrible order and it’s a tough task. I’ve seen most of these players live many times over the years. The few things that pop out to me: Westbrook is too low on the list. One of the best cover corners and hitters at Texas. Deshon Elliott too high. Raymond Claiborne too low. Vaccaro too high.
  9. I can’t find the article. I do remember his analysis was on nationwide voting patterns, not just swing states. And the irregularity had to do with the uniformity of gains across all voting zones. Look this is tin foil hat stuff but it was an interesting article. I pay attention to math.
  10. Texas football and basketball game threads became a serious threat to my mental health. I finally learned to stay the hell out of there as much as possible.
  11. Somewhere months ago there was a credible article about some mathematician who did a statistical analysis of the voting patterns across the country and concluded the odds were something like a billion to one that type of voting patterns would have happened. I laughed at Magats who questioned the 2020 election, but with Elon and Russia firmly backing Trump, the possibility of fraud in the 2024 election is certainly not zero.
  12. Texas 20 OSU 17 combined Arch yards 251.
  13. True story. I took my wife on a booze cruise in the Bahamas when she was about 7 months pregnant. Obviously no alcohol for her. She wanted to go, so…..
  14. The directing of this series is spectacular. It’s really good.
  15. My wife and I are just fed up with buying clothes. These days the best stuff isn’t in stores, and if it is, not in your size. The stuff in the internet comes in and either doesn’t fit right or has something about it that makes it a no go. It’s just gotten ridiculous. We used to never return merchandise but now we are having to do it all the time. Damn I wish the retail clothing industry would have survived.
  16. I also think that when Sark takes his long ball shots it will have a stronger impact than under Quinn. With Quinn, opponents knew there was a chance he would miss the open receiver sometimes, so they would take more chances with the safeties. Defenses will have to respect the long ball more with Arch and that will open up running lanes and short passing opportunities. I would look for Texas to complete a 45+ yard pass in the 1st quarter, and then settle in to a steady diet of running and short pass plays.
  17. I keep going back and forth on this game: Reasons to win 1. Arch will be better than Quin, even with less experience, imo, and brings mobility to the pocket to help with big plays and to minimize bad plays like sacks. This is huge. 2. The defense has a ton of talent, and some depth. 3. OSU has a bigger re-build than Texas. Reasons to lose 1. OL injuires. 2. Winning in Columbus is tough. 3. A ton of talent was lost to the NFL and the new guys are a bit unproven. 4. Sometimes Sark gets too cute or too repetitive with his offensive strategy. So basically it comes down to how much of a re-build OSU has vs Texas. If they struggle to plug their losses more than Texas does theirs, OSU will win. I'm expecting a 20-17 game. I just don't know who ends up on top.
  18. One of my biggest pet peeves ever is looking up the start time of a tv program and whatever resource I’m looking at doesn’t specify the time zone of the listing. Drives me insane. Happens all the time, including most recently with a site listing the PGA tour championship tv times.
  19. What are you blabbering on about? Seriously. You are sounding like a complete idiot right now. I follow CTJ’s comments closely not only because I’ve met him in real life but because he usually has insights not well known by the usual message board idiot. He’s also usually pretty good about identifying in advance when he’s just guessing or pulling stuff out his ass. The fact that a bunch of morons on IT are upset is a badge of honor. Quit being a giant pussy.
  20. I can never hear the word “stuff” without thinking of this quote.
  21. My guess is two cuts happen and about May next year we all are bitching about 4% inflation.
  22. No, the Fed has become politicized. The cut is happening whether it should happen or not.
  23. Well this is a bit awkward. Here is who I was thinking about as a comparison. Took me awhile to realize it. I’m sure there will be a lot of debate about this, but the slightly hunched over running style with the leg movement is what reminded me. couldn’t embed. https://youtu.be/b_bAKdDWjFQ?si=D7QuDcbfTft_STfq
