  1. Fun fact, kiddo was doing a camp today and one of the guest coaches was Bella Bergmark. Unfortunately today was the only day of the camp that I didn’t drive them.
  2. I like that he has normal hair.
  3. Or they were all otherwise occupied at the moment.
  4. Those are going to be some taaaaallll kids.
  5. So would you guys recommend the “classic” environment at Gregory or the new experience at Moody? She has only been to a couple NCAA games at Stanford (vs. Texas) and a couple at St. Mary’s in the town where we live and maybe a game at Cal she might have gone with a friend.
  6. I want to bring my family (and my younger daughter who played her first year of club) to a combo FB and VB weekend. I know Moody would be a unique experience but I’m wondering if Gregory might be worth it for more of the regular home scene. We have been to a couple of the Stanford games here at PA but I’d love to do a combo weekend. I need her to get hyped on Texas volleyball because right now her favorite player is *gasp* Harper Murray despite me telling her the awesomeness of Maddie Skinner. She asked to watch a Nebraska game on YouTube the other day and you can guess which game I chose to play. Haha.
  7. Even that doesn’t really make sense. They can’t just “take back” their contract with him. If they want to be rid of him they’ll have to buy him out like normal. Or are they expecting him to resign without his severance because he underperformed like some of those idiots suggested Jimbo was going to do out of the goodness of his heart and Aggy Honor.
  8. Yeah. What can I say? I screwed up by living off Riverside immediately in the Freshman year. I lived with my brother but an 18-year-old kid needing a 45-minute bus ride to get to a random assortment of 8am classes was never going to work out well. I just flailed around for the first couple years and went on SchoPro twice. I was just happy to still be in school and not getting beaten with wooden cooking spoons for failing out.
  9. California Bar Exam is evidently no joke at all.
  10. Haha. It’s actually references the least Asian thing ever. I left UT without my degree missing only the Freshman History and Government requirements on my course catalog. So when I signed up for Hornfans I figured I was a Texas Ex minus 6 hours. The career I had didn’t really require a degree so I just didn’t bother. I did end up finishing and graduating 17 years later after I had my first kid. Just to set a good example. So I’m class of 2010 but entered college in 1988. Reading textbooks and writing essays when you’re about to turn 40 sucks.
  11. Motherfucker. I'm Asian and many times I wished I didn't care about sports as much as I do. I'm also the loudest parent at all my daughter's 13U Volleyball tournaments these days. It's a running joke on the team because I'm also the team videographer. So you can imagine the game tapes need a high-volume warning.
  12. I’d imagine a young man could have quite a time going to SMU with $2.5mm in his pocket every year.
  13. I had a semester in 1992 where my books cost more than my tuition for 17 hours.
  14. Haha. Well, my Freshman Orientation was 1988. That line's been around a long time.
  15. That was the quote they gave us during Fteshman orientation day one.
  16. Is this his highlight reel from 1990? The video quality here is worse than my kid’s 13U Volleyball team.
  17. Maybe the real athletic directing is the coaches we’ve alienated along the way.
  18. So there’s not enough people to murder anymore? The concentration of murderers must be Dead Sea salt levels high by now.
  19. Can’t wait for Arch to be in the paddock with Verstappen during Austin F1 and the Aggies losing their shit over the coverage.
  20. As they always say “Texas A&M, everyone’s Superbowl.” If only there was some recent history of all the teams in a conference wanting to kick the ass of a departing member, and failing miserably.
  21. If immamac for some reason decided to migrate Surly to Discord I’d probably have to off myself. I have no idea how that place works. I’m a veteran of everything from dial-up BBSs with ASCII art to AOL Communities to message boards.
  22. Fucking hell. I literally have t-shirts in my closet older than you. I feel old.
  23. Thanks to today’s sponsor, Nord VPN. Hit that like and subscribe button. It really helps out the channel.
  24. Ah. Gotcha. Well thanks for helping where and when it counts. I’m enjoying this era.
