  1. Emma Norsgaard puts me on my big chain ring, if you catch my drift. She could derail my derailleur, put the Alp in my 'd Huez etc ... wink wink, nudge nudge know what I mean?
  2. Pogacar is surely going to attack at some point. The question is when. Kwiatkowski surely has the stage win at this point
  3. Pogacar's girlfriend is cute. She's a professional cyclist, too, and extremely fit.
  4. There is unrest in the forest Trouble with the trees For the fans want more commitments And the recruits ignore their pleas
  5. If Texas has the kind of season Sark thinks it is going to have, recruits will be banging down the door.
  6. Looks like Pog picked up about 8 seconds on Jonas. What an epic stage.
  7. SIAP: Ewers, Worthy forecast to go in 1st round: Quinn Ewers, Xavier Worthy included in recent ESPN first-round mock draft - On3
  8. Seven days, 77,239 thousand steps. Outside, in the heat, at 61 years of age. Saw my resting pulse hit 49 BPM briefly in the middle of the night. Fitbit is a cruel mistress.
  9. [Lee Corso gif] NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND!!! [/Lee Corso Gif]
  10. I was very impressed with Hindley today. I could see him winning the tour one day. He's got to become a better TT rider, but he's a mountain goat and a half.
  11. I had a long talk with a guy who has 40,000 different T-shirt designs for sale on Ebay and Etsy. He lives in Georgetown. The artists for the shirts are in Morocco (of all places) and they steal whatever they want from wherever they want ---- Disney designs/characters etc... They give no shits about U.S. federal trademarks, let alone state trademarks. They design and print the shirts in Morocco. They are untraceable and unreachable for all intents and purposes. All he and his wife do is take delivery at their storage warehouse and ship them. He told me they're selling about 1500 T-shirts per day. Let Plonsky try to go after the Moroccans.
  12. Auto insurance rates up an average of almost 24 percent across Texas last year: "There’s a good bet that we haven’t seen anything quite like this, because if you’re having 24% increases, those can be pretty intolerable. And then when you look at, you know, you look at some of the insurers, the numbers are even larger. So if you take GEICO, which is one of the leading auto insurers, their average rates were up 54%. Allstate, another top provider, 38%, and Farmers 32%. So that’s just to give you a little bit of a picture of what’s going on." https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/car-insurance-rates-highest-annual-increase-20-years/
  13. As a huge fan of Saag Paneer, I welcome our new Indian overlords.
  14. Remember how when Ehlinger was our QB on every Longhorn football broadcast they'd always show the photo of him as a 3-year old doing the Hook 'em Horns gesture? I could see these photos of Gipson and JJR being the same thing. If they play together it will be on every single broadcast.
  15. Just watched Interstellar, the Christopher Nolan film starring Matthew M. What a mind bender. Nolan is a merchant of awe. If you haven't seen it, see it!
  16. Looking at all the teams he played for in the NFL reminded me a bit of a man named Steve Wright, who played in 101 games as an offensive lineman in the NFL, for five different teams over 10 seasons. He played for Bear Bryant at Alabama, then for Vince Lombardi in Green Bay, with Fran Tarkenton as a NY Giant etc.. Anyway, after his NFL career he wrote a book called "I'd Rather be Wright: Memoirs of an Itinerant Tackle". It's one of the best, most hilarious books about pro football you'll ever read. I would think that Jacques' Smith's book would be just as good. Weird note: The NFL Walter Payton award trophy is modeled after Steve Wright.
