    Progressive is supposed to be one of the most reasonably priced for young drivers. That's what we have. Much cheaper than the Liberty Mutual coverage we had before. Might be worth it to get a quote.

    If you enjoy being sued, Progressive should definitely be your go to insurance company.

    One left education altogether. Not sure about the other.

    My girlfriend's department lost 10 out of 21 teachers (at a "destination" suburban district) after last year. 9 of those 10 left education altogether while the 10th moved out of the area to another school due a spouse's job change.

    You’d think we were employing a little league coach as our pitching coach. Pierce and Allen both work with the pitchers. Both have worked as pitching coaches before they got to texas.

    I know of a pitching prospect in the Austin area who has Tennessee and A&M firmly above Texas on his list solely because he doesn't want to work with Allen so it's not just random message board posters who think he sucks.

  4. Saw the dudes with the shirts on the concourse before the game, I was going to tell them to make sure they walked down the right field line where the Horns were warming up, but I just let it go. They landed up in Gus' Pavilion behind my seats, pretty vocal the whole game until you know, that inning....buh bye.
    You gotta win 3 now.

    In the top of the 9th, those guys moved down behind the net and just sort of stood in the aisle and started getting into it with the Texas fans around them. One of the event staff guys started walking down the steps presumably to move them out of there and then I guess he decided he doesn’t get paid enough for that shit and turned around and walked back up after he got about halfway down.
  5. I went to the LA Tech baseball forum to see who they might be starting in game 4 and this cracked me up.

    Spoiler

    Texas fans were pretty classy for the most part. Much better than those ass hats at A&M have been at football games.

     
     


    I wish I could say the same for the Louisiana Tech fans who made the trip but at least the ones around us behind their dugout were largely assholes. Their starting pitcher’s brother in particular was a first class prick but he’s also an aggy so that tracks.

  6. That doesn’t seem right to me. Whenever I tell YTTV to record something I get a regular, non-VOD option when I play it back. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to skip commercials.

    This is how it’s always worked for me as well. I can choose the recorded version instead of the VOD version and fast forward.

    Austin and San Antonio should build a huge ass airport on the Comal/Hays line out on 130 somewhere and turn ABIA and SAT into Hobby/Love Fields.

    Will never happen.

    I sure as shit hope this extremely bad idea would never happen. 

  8. With Mike and Maryanne both presumably playing idols next week, the producers are gonna have their work cut out for them to make it look like there’s any chance Romeo is going home if either Jonathan or Lindsey wins immunity.

    She has an idol so the stupid fire making will be the only chance to take her out.

    I think typically idols expire at final five so she'll play it this week and be safe but then can be voted out at final four or sent to firemaking at final three.

  10. Was a great move and makes her a jury favorite but also puts a huge target on her back. It's unlikely she'll win the last immunity challenge. But then my pick just went home so what do I know.

    She seems like the favorite at FTC right now but yeah, it’s tough to see how she gets there without winning her own way there as any of the remaining players are nuts to take her with them. Maybe she’s been practicing making fire all season on the DL.
  11. Wonder if Drea's parting shot at Omar leads to anything. She babbled so much it probably gets lost in the wash though.

    It may put a target on him but it definitely helps him IF he makes the final.

    I like Lindsey but I was disappointed to see Survivor reward someone for being bad at math for the second straight season.

  12. The Reality TV podcast from the Ringer has excellent weekly recaps on Survivor with great strategy discussions and lots of inside info. It’s hosted by Tyson and has weekly guests drawn from previous contestants. One thing pointed out this week about Omar, was that at some point before final tribal, he  to come out of the closet and let the everyone know his influence . The tricky part is timing. 

    With all the handwringing from Survivor fans every year about bitter juries and who was most deserving, it’s funny to hear Tyson talk about how he’s just voting for whichever finalist he likes the most when he’s on the jury.
  13. For fucks sake, I hated that episode. So minorities getting voted off by a tribe where minorities are in the overwhelming majority is now racist. I’ve been a fan of Survivor since the beginning and have watched every season, many more than most. My fandom is being severely tested. 

    Not only did nobody accuse anyone of being racist, Drea and Maryanne explicitly said they weren’t accusing anyone of being racist.
