  1. I'll take them if you still have them. Me and the family are flying cross country the last week of Jan. PM sent.
  2. There are still tickets available for the Exes tailgate - I think it is $30 which includes food and beer. It will be in the Green lot. Link is: https://www.universe.com/events/texas-vs-wvu-tailgate-bus-tickets-QG9BR0?utm_campaign=Washington+DC+Chapter+9-11-19&utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Buy+tailgate+and+bus+tickets+here!&utm_term=20190913_7588016_317430127 They have chartered three buses from DC. The Green lot is right by the stadium and it will be filled with tailgaters. Bought tickets to the Exes tailgate last time but the trailer broke down on the way to Morgantown so no tailgate in '17. We ran into another group of Texas folks and they let us join them and shared their food. This year, we'll be driving in from Northern VA and we're hoping to get there around noon for the 3:30 game. My son and his two roommates are planning on bringing their own grill and we'll be cooking something up. Any Surly folks out there are welcome to join us. We'll share what we have, or if you have something you want to throw on the grill you're more than welcome. For anyone driving, WVU is still selling parking passes for the Green lot for $40. From there, it's a short walk up to the stadium
  3. I hope they hedge the shit out of that because the Redskins are terrible.
  4. We went two years ago. No issues - everyone super friendly. Of course my son is a junior there and was with us wearing his WVU stuff so we might have gotten a pass! Even then, none of the Texas fans I spoke with had anything negative to report. In general, I've always found the WV people to be really nice and friendly. I don't think there is the level of hate for UT as other schools such as Pitt. Even OU is higher on the hate level than us after what went down with Mayfield a few years ago. The DC Texas Exes will be tailgaiting in the Green lot right by the stadium.
  5. Hey @immamac. Just got an email saying my account has been locked due to 5 failed sign ins. I was on tapa at the time and wasn't trying to sign in - was already signed in. Went back to my laptop and was still logged in there too. I didn't click the password reset link in the email for fear it would give my computer the AIDS. Seems everything is fine with my account even though the email says I can't log back in until this afternoon.
  6. I see that Chumley has found employment after his run on Pawn Stars.
  7. Bottom line is they would still aggy it up.
  8. Les is the best. You missed your chance though - he's done a fan challenge in the past (can't post the link but it's Season 7 - ep 1). Would love for him to start making episodes again.
  9. That said, what items would you choose to bring with you? Seems they give every team a machete and usually a fire starter these days, so I would go with bug netting if anywhere in the tropics/jungle. Seeing those people getting eaten alive by the bugs makes me want to stay inside. I know lots of people go with a pot but I figure I could find something to use in its place (coconut shell, bamboo, etc...). Fishing line rarely seems to work. (Although the duct tape one seemed to be pretty useful too.)
  10. Don't get me wrong as I actually like the show, but there are lots of stories out there from past contestants showing how the show is not exactly "hands off". https://www.nickiswift.com/19882/reasons-naked-afraid-totally-fake/
  11. I believe his dad played basketball for aggy. That being said, he's been to our campus multiple times. Also - he's only going to be a junior - so class of 2021.
  12. You can't use an SAT test result to qualify for MENSA unless it was taken before 1994. SAT is an aptitude test - not an IQ test.
  13. I would assume it would be similar to senor Lampkin when he couldn't get into UT and was therefore released once school started to sign with OU.
  14. Apparently Tate Martell is on an official visit to West VA. https://247sports.com/Article/Tate-Martell-Transfer-West-Virginia-Ohio-State-visit-127772341/
  15. Got my 5 in today just before the snow hit. Looking at 5-10 inches so my neighborhood trails will be off limits for the next week or so. Have a treadmill but hate running more than 3 miles on it. Going to be a long next few days of running inside.
  16. Never done a marathon. For that matter I've never really had the desire to do one (assuming I could even get in shape to run one!). Could probably do a half marathon if I set my mind to it. I think the Paris half marathon would be pretty cool. The 10 miler I am training for goes from Mt Vernon (George Washington's house - not small East Texas town) up to Old Town Alexandria along the Potomac. It slightly downhill for the first two miles then relatively flat for the rest of the race. One hill with about a mile to go. Of course I'm not setting any speed records on any of my runs.
  17. So I have been lurking on this thread for quite some time and want to thank everyone for the motivation it has given me over the last few months. Was living a really unhealthy lifestyle - no exercise, eating and drinking way too much. Back in the fall I got motivated and started running again. Over the last 10 years, I would try to exercise, but it never really lasted for one reason or another (mostly just due to laziness). So far it has stuck (4 months now). At the same time, I pretty much cut out out the booze (was drinking about a bottle of wine every night) and started watching what I eat (I work at home so just cutting out the snacking during the day has helped tremendously). So fast forward 4 months, I'm down 35 pounds to 200 and would like to lose another 15-20 pounds. Went to the doctor for standard lab tests and the results were already a ton better than the last time I went in. Anyways, running has always been my preferred choice of exercise. I've started a runners thread on the Hobbies board. Anyone else out there running to lose weight or get/stay in shape I'd love to hear from you over there.
  18. So after following the Body transformation thread for quite some time, I decided it was time to get off my ass last fall and start running again. For the last 10 years or so, I would take it up again, drop it for various reasons (laziness being the main one). My weight ballooned up due to my affinity for alcohol and food with no significant exercise. So anyways, been running for about 4 months now. My goal for the new year is to log 1000 miles. I'm currently averaging between 20-25 miles a week going 5 days a week. Would like to get into shape to run a 10 mile race in April. Figured I would start a thread to provide encouragement and motivation for any runners out there and to discuss any topics related to running. Anyone else have any goals for the year?
  19. I'm sure IF you can get through they'll gladly change things for you. Couple of options you might try - send a DM through twitter. They're usually very responsive and can take care of stuff like this. Also try 800-446-7834. Its a number they sometimes put into service during overloaded call center volume. Lastly, if that doesn't wok, try SKYPE and call one of their international reservation centers (e.g. Australia, NZ, Hong Kong etc...) I've done this to book award travel that US call centers couldn't see so they might be able to cancel out the first flight for you. Good luck. Here is a link to overseas call centers: https://www.aa.com/i18n/customer-service/contact-american/reservations-and-ticket-changes.jsp
  20. Just a quick endorsement here. I had Irwin design me a WVU one for my son when he started school there last year. It turned out awesome - my son gets tons of compliments on it. Highly recommend!
