  1. Probably not a popular opinion but think, as an "outsider" it's easy to ask - Where would Texas have been in the 2000's with a different coach? And part of that is naming the different coach. It's too easy to say he stayed too long etc... but his record is pretty darn good including a MNC. Obviously he had some huge blowout losses against rivals but a whole lot of schools would take his record over who they had. Trying hard to remember who else was available back in 1997 and not coming up with a lot. You can always wish you hired Saban instead of MSu grabbing him around that time but he was not well known. Stoops was actually the "hot" assistant but he was still at Florida when Brown was hired. Not coming up with a lot of names that would have been a better choice in 1997. 

    All of the above in the poll is an acceptable answer to me

    Will you watch the movie?  Do you remember Chappaquidick?  How did you view it then?  What about now?

    I thought then and I think now, that there are few acts by a politician that I consider more disqualifying than what Kennedy did.  I was stunned and disgusted that he continued to have a political career.

    One the more interesting parodies was National Lampoon in early 70's. VW had run some sort of commercial that showed a VW Beetle floating on water. Lampoon created a parody that said something like "If Ted Kennedy drove a VW he would be president". VW sued and won..

  3. It was tremendous and that's from someone who lived the original movie. This rocked because of the cast and because they did it live - I was amazed how well they were without a net amd how a lot of the songs sounded almost the same as the album.  The choreography was amazing.

  4. One more from 1968...  I was too young to remember it but 1968 was just an bitch of a year. Literally you never knew what was going happen from month to month.

  5. 20 years ago on Labor day weekend. Dropped over to Grand National at Auburn on a spur of the moment - need to play some golf. Walked on and shot 81 from the blues. Don;t remember anything spectacualr but obviously I didn't screw up either. Wish I could play that well now but time marches on.

    Went to Home Depot.  They didn't have any either.  I'm going to have to change every fucking recessed light in the house to a new band now.  Furk.

    Try Costco - and they also have a replacement LED fixture that goes into an old screw in bulg slot.  Sold in multiples.  Finally - did the Bulb shop on Burnet close yet.. If you are Austin and they are open - go there

    Pulling into a gas station where all the pumps are occupied and two or three of them have vehicles sitting there not getting gas and no person around.  If it's busy have the curtesy to move your vehicle before going insides to get your mad dog 20/20

    Yes....Grrr......  Not wanting to get arrested so I really have to resist grabbing some pliers and pulling a valve stem.
