  1. I’m looking forward to seeing Tyler Legacy this season with new HC Beau Trahan. I don’t think they’ll be GREAT, but improved over last year. Their problem is the offensive line. Last year, I believe they had two freshman starting. Hard to believe the lack of talent/depth they have on the OL. If they improve there they will be competitive at least against most teams in their district. QB is Luke Wolf, a senior who isn’t the best thrower, but man is he electric running the ball. I could easily see him moving to WR at the collegiate level. Think he is listed at 6-4 and had on of the fastest 40s on the team. The rest of the position players are talented, but will need to take pressure off of Wolf by making plays. Again, a lot rests on the OL making holes. The defense has a lot coming back including LB Brooks Gallagher. I think the dude had like 900 tackles last year. He isn’t impressive looking, maybe 5-9, 195, but he can play. Add TCU signee Travis Jackson and the D has some talented leadership. They have a lot coming back in the defensive backfield as well. Anyway, looking forward to see what Coach Beau can do.
  2. We were in Campos do Jordão for four days then to wife’s hometown of Bauru. Total of 14 days, mostly in Bauru.
  3. Haha. Well, I think he was suggesting that those games were big and we’d obviously win the others. Wait….or does he think we are going 3-9?!?! NOOOOOOOOOO
  4. I’ve been in Brazil the last few days visiting wife’s family and have stopped to look at watches any chance I get. Obviously most of the “big name” stuff is expensive, but Orient watches are pretty popular here and I have seen plenty. Prices are about the same but the best part is the dates are in Portuguese. I MAY pull the trigger on one just for that unique feature.
  5. When QE signed my sons Spring Game poster, he also put “W” on the Alabama, Tech and ou games. Sooooooo yeah, I’d say he is serious about the season. :)
  6. After a few months of ongoing issues with my 2014 Ford, I decided it was time to move on. Decided on a 2021 Toyota Tundra. 4x4. Leather. Apple Carplay. Whatever else you might need. The only real knock is the gas mileage (actually not that far off from my Ford) but, we still own a 2009 Toyota Matrix (son is driving it now) and she runs fine. After hearing from other Tundra owners I decided that this was the one. I couldn't be happier.
  7. I've got bad news for y'all. I've been to the RRS FIVE times. Here are the years I have attended: 2000: L, 63-14 2001: L, 14-3 2002: L, 35-24 2003: L, 65-13 (scared for 18 years) 2021: L, 55-48 So yeah, I have a little PTSD. I don't remember much about the first four I attended. Definitely the PTSD or maybe the alcohol. I easily saw the worst 4-5 losses in this rivalry's history. Also, I'll go ahead and apologize now... I am planning on attending this year. Sorry.
  8. Hard to forget that game, it was my son's FIRST RRS. We left early as hell from Tyler. Attended Gameday. Walked around the fair a bit. Got yelled at and mildly chased by a deranged homeless woman. Moved pregame from our upper deck seats to down low, never got moved. Watched that nut kick game. Hung out a little more at the fair. All-in-all, the result sucked but it was a day both of us will never forget.
  9. Just awful. Imagine just being on vacation with your family then losing your dad, husband, etc. Really sucks. Hope they recover.
  10. That could be it. I did CLEAN the MAF sensor before and recently had the O2 sensors replaced. Code still comes up. I am going to replace the MAF sensor (found on Amazon for $67) and see what happens. Fingers crossed.
  11. Well, I just took the F150 in about a week ago because it was giving me the P0172 (System Too Rich) code. Mechanic said it was the O2 sensors and changed them out. Code gone. Well, that was a week ago. Now, the same code is back again. Any ideas if it is NOT the O2 sensors? I haven't taken it back to the mechanic, but will do so soon. It was my first time to this place but they have a good reputation. Not sure if they just didn't fix it correctly or there is something else causing this code. I posted before but it is a 2014 F150, 3.5L ecoboost. About 150,000 miles. When I bought it used I remember the O2 sensors were replaced before I bought it, that was in 2018. Def sucks.
  12. Yeah I can't stop looking at them, pricing them online. I've heard nothing but good things about them so when the time comes, Tundra is probably the route I am going. My check engine light just came on again this morning on my Ford after having it worked on. Great.
  13. It's so weird talking about the 2024 but alas, here we are. I don't want to give aggy too much credit, but I think everyone is looking forward to that game. We are going to stomp them. Can't believe Georgia and Florida are coming to DKR...so weird.
  14. Just imagine all the........I mean, yeah, she's a great actor.
  15. Just thought I'd share about this lovely show. If you are looking for something that is easy to watch, has great characters and is a "feel good" show, watch Trying on Apple TV+. I saw a TikTok or something about it a few months ago so the wife and I decided to give it a shot. We are almost done with the first 3 seasons (that is all there is for now) and it is WONDERFUL. HOPEFULLY NO REAL SPOILERS..YOU CAN SEE THIS ON THE TRAILER: The premise is two 30-somethings in London are wanting to have a child, but cannot, so they explore the possibility of adoption. It sounds "deep", but the show really does a beautiful job of taking a serious matter and making it..."light", although it can pull at your heart strings. Esther Smith and Rafe Spall (haven't seen them in anything before) are the two main characters and they are perfect. Their chemistry/humor is charming. The show also has a handful of recurring characters that are wonderful. It reminds me of Ted Lasso in that way. The two sets of parents of the couple, the sister, the brother in law, the best friends, the social worker....all of them are interesting/great in some way. The eps are 35 minutes long and very easy to watch. It is "cleaner" than Ted Lasso, not a lot of cussing, no real sex scenes, etc. if you are wondering. Just like Lasso, this show can make you laugh, cry and everything in between. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this show is and am sad that we are almost through with it. I did see that Season 4 is approved which brings me joy. Y'all check it out.
  16. One of my favorite series of all time if not my favorite. The show made me laugh, cry, smile, gasp, etc. It had it all. Not only that, good luck picking your favorite character. The finale was perfect.

    USMNT 2023

    That game last night was great. It showed just how wide a gap there is right now between the US and mexico. Mexico looked slow and unathletic, we looked VERY fast and VERY athletic. Crazy. I remember not too long ago we would ohh and ahh over 1-2 of our US players playing in Europe. That lineup last night was all European players except for Miles Robinson who plays for Atlanta. It was as close to a World Cup lineup as we could get, except maybe Tyler Adams. Our CBs are the only real question mark on this team. Love seeing it. I CANNOT WAIT for Copa America next year.
  18. I've been in my 2014, Ford F-150, (XLT, 3.5L Ecoboost, 4x4, crew cab) for five years and am trying my best to keep her going. That being said, I've been eyeing some 2019-22 Tundras. Love the look of those, cannot stand the new ones. Would be hard to get away from the Ecoboost though...I love it.
  19. That Thing You Do is wonderful. Prob my favorite movie ever. Definitely fine for 12-13 year olds.
  20. Quinn needs to run more. When we ran what looked like a read option, it literally meant "he's handing off to the RB" and maybe throwing it. QE may have kept that ball 4 times all year. (what it seems like). I don't think you can win consistently in college football anymore without utilizing your QB as another run option. They don't all have to be VY or Mike Vick, but at least be willing to use him. Was it Sark saying "PLEASE DON'T RUN AND GET KILLED" or was Quinn gun shy? As far as 2023: We need to throw the shit outta the ball. hahahahaha. #AustinAirRaid
  21. I watched "RRR" on Netflix not long ago. What a wild ride. Definitely an "Indian" movie and unlike anything I have ever seen. It is a 3 hour movie but didn't really seem that long.
  22. I have a sugar momma (not really, but kind of) that let's me hunt her land 10 min from my house. Finally got a chance to put up a game cam in one spot I saw a lot of sign. This big momma showed up not long ago. Haven't had a chance to go back out and get her. Looks pregnant to me.
  23. My question for the thread: any of y’all have or ever played with any of the AR 12s? I’ve never had the chance but they seem fun as hell. I know there are tons of manufacturers so just seeing if anyone has tried them out.
  24. Question for you all. I saw a Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with 139,000 miles for sale for $25k. Seems a little high, but my question was this: Should I be concerned with the 139k miles? Is reliability on these Jeeps something to worry about? I have enjoyed looking at this thread, y'all are making a strong case for me to get a Jeep!
  25. I thought we were only talking about american football. I do really like Arlo White on the Premier League broadcasts. My most underrated, no one talks about guy on TV? Brock Huard. I think he is really good as a color guy for Fox. No silly bits. Just straight up analysis. Anyone else?
