ATTN: SHEEPFUCKERS (Week 15 2025)
My first game at Kyle Field was in 1981, when I attended as a LHB member. We watched the "corp of cadets" parade from our busses, and I remember thinking, this has to be some of the most backward, dumbest looking sobs that i have ever seen. Marching in, riding donkeys - holy shit these hayseeds. This was the same year that the aggy "officer" drew his sword on the SMU cheerleader and the LHB marched into aggy stadium holding little cocktail swords. Aggy fans noticed and started raining boos on us - we just smiled and basically did not give any fs. Longorns were victorious that day - 21-13. Hook 'em and stomp a mud hole in their asses. \m/

Road Trip - Athens (UGA)
True. But this group has the Steel Shank thread and Vic Mackey’s Friends Food thread. Preaching to the choir so to speak.

Road Trip - Athens (UGA)
Like others have said, the aquarium, Coca Cola Museum and Chattanooga would be the best places to visit. I used to call on medical device manufacturers in Chattanooga and always loved visiting the area. Chattanooga was the site for some major Civil War battles: The battle for Chattanooga and Missionary Ridge/Lookout Mountain. Lots of park areas with historical significance. For food recs, Jim N Nicks has good BBQ and homemade sides and there are several locations in Atlanta Metro - www.jimnnicks.com. And The Varsity has good chili dogs/burgers. The location near Georgia Tech is the original location and largest.

My kids loved this crap also. My brother and I called it "cherry vomit" when we were growing up.

July 4th Hill Country Flooding Tragedy
Platform with barges and cranes are starting to dredge the river at Ingram Dam. There are some search & rescue teams standing by. Not sure if that means there are remains they expect to find. The dredging crew has remove quite a bit of gravel and rocks on the island just west of the dam and they are also clearing our lots of dirt and rocks below the dam.

The cotton bowl is a shit hole
Sorry that some of ya'll had to go through the squatters. Sneaking in the game is a time honored tradition for some, but squatters suck. The Cotton Bowl was a shit hole the first time I went in 1964 to watch the Cowboys and the Dr. Frank Ryan led Cleveland Browns. I remember we has to park in someone's yard and my dad was hoping our car would still be there (it was). I also remember a kid about my age (6 years old at the time) asked my dad for a light for his cigarette and told my dad that he was Bob Hayes cousin. The Cowboys lost that day and I do remember crappy burgers for lunch with wax cup coke (no ice and with plastic cover on the lid) and after the game, El Chico mexican food next to the Cotton Bowl.

July 4th Hill Country Flooding Tragedy
I think it is Cile and one other adult. I may be wrong, but I think there are still two missing.

July 4th Hill Country Flooding Tragedy
Sadly, you are correct. I have talked with numerous first responders and the last two victims of the flood are probably under tons of gravel and rock that came down the river during the flood. Even when they found remains, it was typically a body part. The debris and rock in the flood tore apart people and animals in the churning water. RIP.

Thank you Inka. Call me when you plan on coming out.

July 4th Hill Country Flooding Tragedy
I believe that your response is reasonable and I tend to agree with you. I made my assertion based on what I saw personally at the camp. RIP to the kids and Mr. Eastland. This whole disaster is depressing and sad as hell. Hook'em.

July 4th Hill Country Flooding Tragedy
We are not that far away on agreeing. I am surprised that anyone survived at the camp. I think that Mr. Eastland (RIP) might have waited too long to warn the campers in that one cabin, but we all have been guilty of ignoring tornado watches/warnings and flood watches/warnings. If you look at Camp La Junta, that camp was utterly destroyed, worse than the damage at Camp Mystic, yet no one died at La Junta to my knowledge. I guess because they had more warning and were further downstream? I have lots of questions. Again, I would invite you to come and see for yourself, as Squish Mitten has done - you really can't describe the destruction here. Peace C-Man.

July 4th Hill Country Flooding Tragedy
I have no problem with you disagreeing with me. But, I have seen the unimaginable destruction in this area. Boulders and rock the size of full size trucks, cypress and pecan trees that were 30' around and 30-40' tall reduced to splinters. All of this debris was rolling in the river - which was an estimated 35-40' high. Again, look at the map of Camp Mystic. They Bubble cabin was on an island between the river and Cypress creek. The river rose so fast, even if the Bubble cabin kids/counselors had escaped from the cabin, Hwy 39 was also under a shit ton of water and debris. How in the hell would they have left the area? One side is a wall of limestone and the other side was Hwy 39, which was under water. I would encourage you to visit once things have settled down and you will see for yourself what happened here. Agree with you that Camp Mystic should have had some sort of evacuation plan, if they didn't have one. Our neighborhood lost one of the campers (Rene S.) and one of our friends lost their grandson. Improvements in evacuation/alarms/warnings must be installed for the future. As a resident of Kerr County, the whole thing is just sad and heartbreaking. Peace and Hook 'em.

July 4th Hill Country Flooding Tragedy
I agree flood alarms along the river probably would have helped people downstream from Hunt/Ingram evacuate. The Camp Mystic kids, I am not so sure. If you look at the cabins map at Camp Mystic, the cabins are between the Guadalupe River and Cypress Creek, essentially on an island. IMO, those kids/counselors were doomed when they went to bed that night. This is a report from Charlie Hastings, who is the Kerr County engineer: Flood Timeline at the river gauge, which is 10 miles down stream from the south fork of the Guadalupe River: July 4th Midnight - 53 gallons/second Rained 3 hours straight 3 am - 264 gal/sec 3:30 am - 125,000 gal/sec 4 am - 950,000 gal/sec In comparison, Niagara Falls flows 75,750 gal/sec. The river rose as high as 55' in places. For those familiar with the headwaters of the two forks of the Guadalupe, the south fork is solid rock, basically concrete. That is where 90% of the rain fell. It was a tsunami flowing on a non-porous substrate. A ton of water in a short amount of time. A good friend of mine works as security for the Bass family ranch in the Hunt area. At midnight, he was parked under the Hunt Store canopy watching the river and decide to drive home, which is behind the Hunt Store. He said that he didn't observe anything out of the ordinary. He said at 3:30, he and his wife woke up to water in their home. No one was expecting this around here.

Yes sir. My family and I tear up every time we drive to Kerrville from Ingram, which is every day. From the Ingram dam to past Hunt looks like a war zone.

Yes. The trees on the right side of the road are no more.

She hightailed it after the manager of the RV park ran her off. She had paper license plates.

The dams are still there. Not much else. Lots of debris that will eventually be cleared out.
