You think baby boomers qualify as middle aged? I think the youngest boomer is 55 or so. The median has to be like 65ish.
1964 is the last boomer year. So 59 is the youngest boomer. I know this because I'm turning 60. Wait till Mrs Auditor finds out I’m officially not middle aged.
Also Fuck Michigan.

I just noticed that they are a short one year from tying their longest drought of real or invented championships since at least 1917 - 15 years (41-56 when they were all off defeating Italy, Germany, Japan, keeping Russia on their side of Berlin and showing China who was boss in Korea). All this determining championships based on games actually played, and lack of divisional participation ribbons is cutting into their success rate.

Texas 41
CSU 13
Quinn throws for 248, Arch for 165, 413 in the air. ~70% WR, so call it 289, plus 18 on the ground. WR: 307.

As long as we play OU annually, i dont give a shit if we play aggy every year
Course in the years we don't play, we'll have a steady diet of "ATM clearly would have stomped Texas" , and "Snakey manipulated the schedule for his sip buddies to avoid a beatdown"

Fajitas discussion it is, then! Lulz.
From the Round-Up in Pharr (McAllen Kid, they were the bomb) to the Hyatt. The Fajita Journey:
SpoilerFajitas started to make the leap from the cowboy campfire to commercial success in 1969. Otilia Garza was the owner of the "Round-Up Restaurant" in the city of Pharr, Texas. Pharr is a fairly sizable place on the Rio Grande River, founded in 1910 by Henry Newton Pharr, the former director of the State National Bank of New Iberia, Louisiana, and president of the Louisiana-Rio Grande Sugar Company and the Louisiana-Rio Grande Canal Company. At Garza's restaurant, strips of grilled skirt steak were served on a sizzling platter, with warm flour tortillas and mounds of condiments: pico de gallo (chopped fresh onions, tomatoes, peppers, and cilantro), guacamole, and grated cheese. This is becoming to sound very much like Fajitas!
Garza maintained that she had learned the tradition of grilling skirt steak from her grandmother, also a restaurateur in the much larger city of Reynosa, just across the river in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. Reynosa is a much older and much larger place. It was founded in 1749 and named Villa de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de Reynosa, as a tribute to the town of Reinosa in northern Spain, which was the birthplace of the Viceroy of New Spain at the time.
Sonny Falcon's fajita stand
Photo from The Austin Chronicle & and the Falcon Family.But Garza was not the only one serving this dish. In that same year, a meat market manager from Austin named Sonny Falcon began running commercial fajita/taco stands at fairs and festivals in Texas. Sonny was married to Guadalupe Guajardo, the daughter of Eloy and Soledad Guajardo, Mexican immigrants who ran a market called "Guajardo's Cash Grocery" on 809 Lydia Street in east Austin, between East 7th and East 11th Streets. Their store was one of the few grocery stores catering to the Mexican community in Austin at the time. Sonny liked to experiment with recipes for using the tough skirt steak, with the goal of increasing its sales. He figured that he could attract more business to the family store if he could popularize this affordable cut of meat. All he had to do was to find a way for people to taste it. So, in 1969, Sonny set up his first concession stand at a festival in Kyle, Texas, a town south of Austin along Interstate 35 toward San Antonio. He started calling his skirt steak tacos "Fajitas". He began selling his fajita tacos to crowds of appreciative people at rodeos, fairs, and outdoor festivals throughout Texas.
He may not have invented the dish, but he did invent the name. The shape of the raw shirt steak reminded him of a belt; "Faja" means "belt" in Spanish, "fajita" means "little belt", and voilà, the name Fajita has just been created! Sonny became personally identified with the dish by the late 1970s, when an Austin reporter christened him "The Fajita King".
Mama Ninfa.Meanwhile, in Houston in 1973, Ninfa Rodriguez Laurenzo opened a Tex-Mex restaurant called Ninfa's on 2704 Navigation Boulevard. The restaurant claims that "this is where it all started, where mama Ninfa first stuffed chargrilled sliced beef into a handmade flour tortilla, and launched the national fajita craze".
Ninfa's Restaurant.She indeed built a good restaurant founded in a good bar business and simple, tasty foods of her Rio Grande Valley heritage. This included fajitas, which she called tacos al carbon and tacos a la Ninfa. The restaurant is still there today and Tacos Al Carbon are still on the menu!
While Tex-Mex restaurants like Ninfa's were popularizing fajitas in Houston during the 1970s, Sonny Falcon was cooking them for thousands of people at his concession stands at rodeos, outdoor fairs, and festivals all over Texas. The next big fajita breakthrough came, of all places, from Germany! In 1982, The Hyatt Regency Austin hotel opened on Barton Springs Road. The hotel restaurant had a chef de cuisine, a German by the name of George (Georg) Weidmann. He promptly recognized the commercial potential of the popular local Tex-Mex dish. He put "sizzling fajitas" on the menu of the Hyatt's La Vista restaurant, and soon sales of that dish made it the most profitable restaurant in the Hyatt chain. The "SWB Famous Fajitas" are still on the menu at the Southwest Bistro at the Hyatt today ($30 for two).

I have no doubt that Michigan would have beaten Iowa during the regular season. My point was more about, well, do they beat PSU the following week? That was a tough game on the road in the first place. Just a what-if? given the nonsense of what they actually faced.
I am encouraged to hear that the SEC is likely going to a 9th game by 2026. I don't see how the ACC doesn't follow suit, especially since I'd think that inventory is worth money than the FCS games are. I think the biggest thing that probably gets the ACC off the button, if money can't, is watching the Big 12 get 3 teams in a couple of times while they're getting their ACC champion in and begging that the runner-up also get a consideration. Better be Clemson, FSU or Miami in that 2 spot at 11-2, I'm hoping.
I think you have underestimated the importance the FCS schedule plays as conveyed by the renown philanthropist, Jimbo Fisher:
“I don’t mind playing 8 or 9 conference games, I do believe this: we need to play a (FCS) game,” Fisher said. “I came from that league, (former Florida State head coach) Bobby Bowden came from that league. How do those schools make budget (w/out a big payday game vs. Power 5)? I think you have to trickle the wealth down to those programs, so they can make budget.”
This kind of responsible leadership can lead to surprisingly strong fan support, as shown by the 12th man against UMass:

I dated a girl who was a student there years ago. It is a shithole now and was a shithole then. Just a bland place. I actually like Waco more, and that’s sad.
Waco is a shit hole of epic proportions. It at one point led Texas in Meth related deaths per capita. I too would spend a weekend there before I'd go to College Station.

I love this logic. The deal was done before the super regional at least and the staff and players conspired to get them to the CWS, through to the championship series, win the first game and waited until the final out to pull the rug out from under the fans just to fuck with them. Imagine what that group can do at Texas when they try to win!

My wife was in Spring last weekend visiting her twin sis (no pics). She told me how the aggy BIL made a total ass of himself after they won game 1 by drunkenly screaming, whooping & cursing at the moon from his backyard. He's friends with most of his neighbors & everyone's known him to be a drunken, loud buffoon over the years.
I'm wondering what got destroyed by him throwing it in their pool last night after the loss?
Above Ground?
