  1. Went to Friday's KSU game with my son and parents and had a blast. COVID protocol is great, probably overly cautious, even. Parents and I are fully vaxxed, but if not I still would have felt comfortable. My folks showed up about 1.5 hours ahead of first pitch and were 3rd in line for walk up tix. Box office said they sold only a limited number of four-seat packs, so keep that in mind. our seats ($14) were behind home plate, about 4 or 5 rows down from Craig Way, so it was cool to hear him call the game as it was happening. We were 3 or 4 rows up from a gaggle of scouts, so that was cool too. Lines were non-existent for beer, food, and restrooms. If we'd leave to do one of those things after the last out of the inning, we'd be back in our seats by first pitch of the next. Food trucks are there, but fewer than before (and Poke e Joes was closed). But Amy's was open, which was what my son cared about anyway. The craft beer trailer was open, so I bought an $11 Electric Jellyfish because i was in an "this is awesome, its just money" mood. But regular domestics are $5 up until the national anthem, so getting there early for tix is a bonus. Honestly, it was pretty awesome being in an enthusiastic, energetic stadium that is at 25% capacity. Everything was so easy. Enjoy the game.

    Who will be at the attacking CM in the After Times? Lleget isnt quality on this senior side. Mckennie?
  11. damn. this was good and therapeutic. derka needs to replace galindo on LHN fucking immediately.
  12. The two leagues our son has been playing with have been suspended because they use city fields and are not currently having a season. (one of them is actually starting an "underground" season, but apparently not taking any more kids at this time). Son is a 9 year old, 3rd grader. Hits very well (typically clean up); short stop glove and arm. "Gets" the nuances of baseball. (If any of that matters). Just wondering if any of your kids teams are trying to fill up some roster spots because there just still isn't that many leagues out there quite yet. And its either this or Barça Academy, which I'd rather not have to pay for just yet. Thanks for any help.
  13. Their Italian pils is spot on and everything else is top of the tier 2 quality breweries in austin. Their lagers are very well made.
  14. Its gonna suck for the 5 seed that has to match up against Izzo in the first round

    Question about the 23s olympic roster (qualifying vs olympic competition) Is it like US Basketball where the bigger stars join the squad later for the actual olympic competition after quals since they will all be on summer break? If i was pulisic or gio or dest or mckinnie or adams or seargent or whea, I mean, I'd like a chance at some international hardware, but I'm not sure if the squads named for qualifying are mostly set for the summer too. Its been so long since we've played in an olympics that i can't really remember the rules ... and back then we didn't even have the full side youth talent for that to even be a real discussion. I think i remember that a team can have a couple of overage players as well.
  16. We gotta invite him back to hang that 2019 NIT CHAMPS banner though. Texas is still the reigning #69 after all!
  17. teachers sometimes have to go to HEB or put gas in their vehicles or not having any childcare options through grandparents have to send their kids to daycare and school.
  18. I thought i'd read somewhere not to take pain relievers at the risk of dampening the effectiveness of the vaccine.
  19. Thats not true at all (look around the league, no one's asking for the 90-91 Runnin Rebels, but some offensive philosophy would be nice). And especially not with this talent. We can't even break a shitty 3-2 zone with a couple of backdoor cuts. Our 3s just get further away.
  20. the only way we won't have shaka back next year is if a more glamorous bball school comes calling. Here's our number Georgetown. Call us maybe?
