Lot going on on that plate. Probably a pot luck dinner.

Getting old sucks
My wife and her mother (94) are in the winding down process now. My MIL is confused about stuff, was talking to my wife yesterday thinking she was her oldest friend and had to be reminded who she was talking to. Her mother is stubborn and proud and so is resistant to being helped but is getting where she won’t take her medication or eat regularly.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Excited for the Arch era to begin at Texas. Season ended about how I expected which is a great season but losing the last game always sucks. I had come to the conclusion early in the year that this was not a NC team, especially on the offensive side. They couldn’t just steamroll teams like 2005 for instance. Felt like that would bite us at some point. Fun season #1 in the SEC. Feel like we gained a little respect from the hillbillies in the conference. And stunted on aggy.

CEO of UHG Shot and Killed in NYC - WTF is wrong with you New York
Agree that Walt's caption over that video is misinformation BS which will get liked and forwarded as if it was fact. But the Doc isn't wrong either.

Getting old sucks
I was in and out of the airport several times in December, at some point, hoisting my backpack onto my shoulder, I wrenched my left shoulder and it's killing me for the last month. Last weekend, while drying my feet after getting out of the shower, something in my left hip let go, and now that's killing me. My right knee will eventually get replaced but for now it's killing me. My left knee that did get replaced feels great. Getting old sucks, what should I do differently?

The Surly Road Cycling Thread
Closer to the ocean = more scenic and probably windier. What’s the prevailing wind direction? May be a crosswind.

Should be beautiful weather on Friday for the drive up to Arlington.

The TX/OU flipping off girl has been absent from all these, but maybe that’s the wrong vibe.

I am doing 20,250 pushups in 2025
In my boot camp class we used to occasionally do the pushup countdown: alternating with a partner, each does 25 pushups, then 24, then 23 etc. down to 1. It’s 320 pushups altogether. Try that a couple times a week.

I am doing 20,250 pushups in 2025
I set a goal in 2010 to run 1000 miles. I made it like on Dec 27 or so, but I pushed through some nagging injuries along the way and honestly my knees never fully recovered. Moral of the story is listen to your body and don’t be a slave to the goal. At one time for me, 50-60 pushups a day wasn’t a huge deal. I would probably struggle with it now day after day.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
So let me get this straight: Texas is the last SECSECSEC team standing in the CFP? how does this square up with the aggy worldview?

2025 Peach Bowl: CFP QF - Texas vs. Arizona State - 12pm on ESPN
I saw that they had that Skycast deal where the view was from above and behind the offense. A little screwy to watch it like that.

The Airplane Fanatic Thread
This is the strangest crash. No idea why the landing gear wasn't extended. Pilot reported a bird strike, declared an emergency and best they could do was land gear up and a clean wing?

Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo
Mack needs to polish his brand after his departure from Chapel Hill, so cozying up in the place of his greatest success, where the TV lights are brighter helps him do that. I feel like he's looking for a spot on the bigger stage with Saban and Urban rather than just chumming around with the Texas BMD crowd. Sark's success with the team and perhaps an NC in the next few years will bring some collateral shine to Mack (in his mind). Not sure he would be in Austin if a Charlie or Herman equivalent was there and the program rolling around in the bottom half of the SEC.

I expect Mack thinks he’s coming back to Austin to help direct the construction of his statue by the stadium.

He doesn’t look fast until you consider the defenders chasing him drop off the field of vision of the TV screen.
