  1. For a second I was impressed that you made it 38 seconds, but not after I found out it was about a movie and not sex.
  2. LHN has a ton of non football games/events that are awesome to watch. Basketball (men and women), baseball, volleyball, and softball are all awesome to watch. I will pay for it to watch all of those sports until I no longer can.
  3. Every town that comes close to meeting your needs will have crowds, there’s no getting away from the crowds in the summer. Estes Park is great simply because it is right by RMNP. Other than that it is extremely touristy, redneck touristy in my opinion. It feels like no one actually lives there but just drive in to provide amenities for the tourist. At least the other towns you can tell people live there. Crested Butte would be perfect for you if it’s not too far away. It has almost everything you’re looking for, especially if you add in Gunnison. Aspen would be a really good option. It’s more upscale but definitely has what you want. Buena Vista would be a good place to go that’s not near as touristy as other towns but it’s not right up against a mountain like the more popular towns.
  4. Texas 20 Bama 31 437 yards
  5. Seeding by using an actual grass planter. Using a Bermuda mixture but not positive what it is without having the info in front of me. In far north Texas. Don’t need it playable until February.
  6. Seeding bare ground. Going to eat overawed it at the recommendation of the seed.
  7. I reached out to Pat Green’s manager to inquire about getting him to come perform at a fundraising benefit for a non-profit that I run. He was not willing to work with us in any way to make it happen. Eventually got him booked for a date. Then the asshole turns around and books a concert literally a block from where our event was to be held a week before our event. That concert is free to attend, I had to cancel our event because who would pay to come to ours when they can see him a week earlier for free? So fuck that guy. Still don’t have anyone else booked.
  8. Texas 55 Rice 3 Ewers 256 passing yards and 7 rushing yards
  9. I take a shower before taking a bath.
  10. Under this thought process you could do 12 scholarships for position players and 8 just for pitchers.
  11. The 11.7 scholarships for baseball has to be the dumbest NCAA rule there is. It should be 20.
  12. Just something temporary to get grass growing while the old sprinkler system is broken.
  13. He was a terrible signing from the beginning.
  14. I run a little league baseball organization. This summer we were able to pay to have our fields leveled for the first time in decades. We also hired a company to fix the sprinkler system at the fields that has not been used in 10 years. The company has been working on the sprinkler system for about 4 weeks now but continues to run into problems. We are running out of time as we need to plant the new grass and start watering in the next couple of weeks. So now I'm trying to figure out how to set up a system to water our fields after planting. We have a typical water faucet behind home plate on each field. We also have a 2" hose attachment in the middle of the complex. Does anyone have any good ideas on how to do this? The biggest issue is our high school sized field that is 350 in center field, thankfully it has a second faucet in left field. My best plan so far is to buy as many of the tripod sprinklers at Lowes as I need and run 3/4" hoses to them from the faucets. On my smallest field just 1 sprinkler would work. My second smallest I would likely need to sprinklers. The two bigger fields would need multiple of these sprinklers. Could I run a hose from a faucet and put a 4 way splitter on it, attach timers to each outgoing hose from there and run the four hoses out to sprinklers all set to go off at different times? I would need to water multiple times per day so would need to be able to put everything on a timer. Thanks for any ideas or help.
  15. The youth baseball league I run is not allowed in the Little League organization because our facilities are not up to standard. Even if we could join we wouldn’t have another Little League organization within 2 hours of us. Since I took over we have gone from 201 kids to 267 last year and 312 this year. I even kicked a couple of teams out of the league during that time frame because they wanted to be a select team in a rec league. We’ve had a lot of kids coming back to the league from select ball. Have also picked up 4 teams from neighboring small towns because their leagues have closed down. I hate that so many kids are leaving the leagues to join select ball and never getting a chance to play All Stars or represent their towns.
  16. Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls also has a replica of the Liberty Bell displayed on campus. aggy’s is nothing special.
  17. I would happily give the actress who played Collins 50% of everything I own but only after a couple of years of marriage.
  18. Or he might have gotten killed in the projects after failing out of high school.
  19. Even if that’s the only reason they took him in it was still a huge benefit for Oher. Do you think that he was better off with them not taking him in?
  20. Still doesn’t take away from the fact that they did take him in. Are you insinuating that they should not have done that? People do good deeds for selfish reasons every day, that doesn’t take away the good that was done.
  21. Anyone who has unnaturally colored hair. Not necessarily unnatural to them but for humans. I’ve never met a person with pink, blue, green, purple, etc. hair that I liked.
  22. I see an exception for Sooner and aggy assholes but maybe I interpret the Bible a little different than you.
  23. You’re right on that but the point still stands, until then the majority of the country didn’t know what a conservatorship was. That was also a very recent legal battle.
  24. I’ve only seen the movie and read articles on this so don’t know what the books say. Lol at people bashing the Tuohy’s for helping him at all. They didn’t have to do anything. It’s facts that he was better off in their care than out of their care as a high school student. Who gives a shit if their motive was to get him to Ole Miss, he was still much better off under their roof. He also was not chosen at random from the thousands of kids in Memphis that likely need help. He went to their kid’s private school, that’s why he was chosen. I’m sure he stood out among the student population there in more ways than one. The Tuohy’s may be self centered assholes but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they were in this case. There’s any easy explanation for why they would call it an adoption instead of a conservatorship in the public realm, the vast majority of the public had no idea what a conservatorship was before this story came out. Either way they had a legal obligation to him. In the end all that really matters is how they treated him. Did they truly treat him as family? Did they do what was best for him? Did they use their position as his conservators to take advantage of him? Those are the only questions that matter in this story. So far Oher’s side of the story is all over the place while the Tuohys have a pretty solid story. We will find out if that holds up.
  25. It has to be a 4+ year extension for it to matter. It doesn’t have to be 4 more guaranteed years. The guaranteed years is the most important thing.
