    I wish it was easier to find photos of players from long ago. I always feel like we don’t recognize them enough in this thread, but you can’t find the photos online.

    This is the correct answer. You only shoot as an absolute last resort. Going out guns blazing-- what if your rifle shot kills a neighbor's kid asleep in their bed?

    At the very least use a shotgun and not a rifle.

     

    Also paint gun "bullets" hitting a house I imagine would sound nothing like real bullets.

    I imagine most people don't know what real bullets hitting their house sounds like.

    Could someone outside shooting a paintball gun be mistaken for someone shooting a .22? I believe so.

     Bobby Layne was a real quarterback.  He was drafted pick 3 in the first round of his draft.  He had over 26,000 passing yards in the NFL and had a 63.4 passer rating.  At UT most of his passing records weren't broken before the 90's.  

    This. Bobby Layne is in the fucking HOF: https://www.profootballhof.com/players/bobby-layne/

    He certainly qualifies as top 5 all time.

    Wild. Was the gate being lowered or adjusted, or did it just give way? Not that it matters, really. 

    I believe those are Bear Trap crest gates where valves are used to control the filling or emptying of a chamber which is utilized to raise or lower the gate utilizing hydrostatic pressure.

    Typically there is a pin system along the top which has to be removed to allow the gate to collapse in the down position. That isn't what happened here.

    It looks like the upstream bearings gave out and the whole gate rotated and flipped. You can see the upstream gate leaf break loose and float downstream. The downstream leaf looks like it remained hinged and submerged causing the noticeable turbulence.

  6. Agree Flemings is really good

    3 Forks was amazing the last time I was there (10 years ago)

    *Perry's has an amazing pork chop but I've never tried their steak

    There's always Ruth's Chris if you like your steak broiled in butter

    Haven't been to The Hoffbrau in forever but they were always solid

    The Original New Orleans Po-boy and Gumbo Shop on east Cesar Chavez is solid.  Owned by a former mardi gras indian (his suit was on display last time I went) , used to be a trailer across cboys on s congress, then was a divey place on east 1st?, now a dive on east Cesar.  Always been solid food and crazy during Mardi Gras time.

    FYI: It's a dive on E 12th now

  8. I'm going to presume everyone already knows about Tacodeli Torchy's (not my favorites, but very popular).

    Papalote is really good (Alambres for the win), has multiple locations, and a great lunch special. 

    El Chilito is solid and also has multiple locations. 

    Rosita's Al Pastor is just fucking great.

  9. A few I haven't seen mentioned: Hut's makes a pretty good burger; P'Terry’s is consistently good; & I've always liked Hatcreek
