  1. "Actually, Big 12 Presidents and Chancellors that make up the Big 12 Board of Directors later learned that Bowlsby had been warned. First by former Oklahoma State University athletic director Mike Holder and then later new Oklahoma State University President Dr. Kayse Shrum had warned Bowlsby that the University of Oklahoma was contemplating a move to the SEC.
    Bowlsby’s response reportedly was that he slept well at night knowing that Oklahoma and Texas loved the Big 12 and would never leave. "



    In case there was any question remaining if Bowlsby should have seen this coming.

  2. I have a kid on the autism spectrum that turns 24 next month. Echo above comment - private schools aren't set up for any student that challenges the system. You need a public school and their SpecEd resources and programs. Send me a PM if you want to talk to someone who has been (and is) where you are.

  3. I’ve got a couple of WSR 1.75 getting dusty on my shelf. If this is your game in Austin hit me with a trade offer. Will also be in DFW in a couple of weeks. Looking for comparable value, YMMV.

  4. retail here on eagle rare is $29.99, buffalo trace is $24.99 (or cheaper) and stagg, jr, if you can find it, is $49.99, so i can see a restaurant honoring those prices (or the wholesale version) a little bit more than liquor store secondary.  outside of pappy or btac, i've found it's almost always worth it to order the allocated pours at restaurants that offer them.

    Saw a Stagg Jr in the wild yesterday. For the low low price of $149.99 it could be yours!
  5. What I can’t figure out is since the cable providers control the high speed broadband why haven’t they just jacked the price through the roof yet.

    To an extent they have. I took my parents off the local cable provider that was screwing them on tv service, and put then on a streaming provider. Had to pay a $40 "tax" for their internet service upgrade to the cable guys for the privilege. They still came out over $100 / month to the good.
  6. Check out the Sewell dealerships in Dallas. Not sure each one doesn't install dealer options but the Subaru dealership didn't. 

    Sewell also owns the Jaguar and Land Rover dealers in N Austin. If you are in the market for something they sell you should go there. Friend's husband works there, they are top notch.

  7. Strongly recommend starting with the first book. Beyond the fact it’s 100% worth it, the books do three things better than the series:
    1. Miller is such a great character and while Thomas Jane did him justice, it’s so much better in the books.
    2. The life in the Belt is much more built out and explored and helps to understand why they hate the inners so much.  For example: the belters all grow up in zero and micro gravity, so they are literally a foot taller than the inners and have all these heath problems, but also are just naturals in space.  The tv show is limited in that it was shot in gravity. The book creates a rich world where there is no “up” or “down” you are either on the float or not.
    3. There’s more back store on Mars that will make the last three books make much more sense.

    I just started the book series. Halfway through book 2. Absolutely agree that the books (so far) are awesome.
  8. I grew up north of the Red River, and there were a handful of small towns that were notorious speed traps. About 20 years ago, in a rare example of the Oklahoma Legislature doing something smart, they passed a law that stated:

    1. If more than 30% of a town's revenue came from ticket fees, or
    2. More than 50% of speeding tickets were less than 10 mph over the speed limit

    Then the town forfeited all of their ticket revenue.
