His Vandy NIL package is an estimated $2.1 mil, half of which is already gone in attorney's fees for his brothers.

With proper image guidance and effective suppression of his idiot family, the Heisman was his. A tremendous PR opportunity: Scrappy little underdog carrying perennial doormat Vanderbilt to their best year, maybe ever. With a little press conference/public speaking coaching on when to talk and when to shut up (think Costner in Bull Durham: "Know your cliches."), he would have had it made. I'm guessing that his handlers were the same folks that ran Clayton Williams' gubernatorial campaign in 1990.

Like Claytie, this little fucker's mistake was letting us get to know him a little bit. Turns out, he got just what he deserved. I guess sometimes things work out the way they ought to, after all.

Although Williams was Aggie, I bet he was a big Art Briles fan.  I'm sure he just sat back and enjoyed BU's run, since he couldn't avoid it.

Well, except for too many complete sentences. Plus, the subjects and verbs agreed a little too often. 

Fair points and well stated.

I was responding to how he created an air of menace though his use of little observations, like the way they were missing teeth, the hate they had for themselves, and how even the air seemed different. Perhaps Cormac McCarthy would have been a more apt reference, or even Larry McMurtry.

Not enough run-on sentences for McCarthy (my favorite, by the way).  McMurtry works.

I grew up in the southern part of the state, but sounds quite similar.  And when I go back now to visit family, it still seems to be stuck in the 80's.  Like...nothing has changed.  I can't imagine trying to raise a family there...

First time I drove to NM was from Houston to Pasadena from the Rose Bowl.  You could tell the difference when you crossed the Texas state line and when you crossed into Arizona.  Now I make the trip to NM to either go to Santa Fe/Taos or up to ski Colorado.  I love parts of the state... mainly Santa Fe, in/around Taos, Dixon, etc. but the rest is rough.  Crossing from Texas through Clovis, you almost appreciate the quick gas stop in Fort Sumner and then you just want to get to Santa Fe unless you're grabbing Carl's Jr in Santa Rosa.  I do like the drive from Cline's Corners to Santa Fe or Las Vegas over past Sipapu to Taos but, if I have my choice, will never do the drive through Roswell and north or the corner by Raton.  That stretch suuucks so much ass as you cross into Texas and just keeps sucking.

Ruidoso is nice. Or, at least it was before the floods and fires. Haven't been there since three years ago.

It has nice spots.  It also a lot of trailer parks.

Williams probably took Baylor correspondence courses somewhere along his way to dumbdoom.

These clowns look like the vaguely-Albanian, Eastern European gangster caricatured in every action movie since the 80s

Thankfully, we’ve moved from Nuevo México. Pavia definitely looks like one of those low rider gangsters from Española. 
 

There are awesome and beautiful parts of that state. But there are also places you don’t want to go.

LOL yeah I thought about that a couple of days ago. We're probably thinking of the same kind of 'cop'.

She’s actually a nurse, or CNA, or something like that, and works at an assisted living facility. Or did before Diego got paid.

Oh yeah, the Safety Corridor. The worst part of a drive to Colorado.

Work on his personality a little, there's no reason that in twenty years, he can't achieve this:

A little help here. We're driving up to CO this weekend. What's bad about it? Should I take the eastern route that's a little longer?

Where are you starting and where are you going? And do you plan on stopping on the way?

Austin to Granby & Winter Park, via Amarillo.

My son and some friends just drove from Austin to Breckenridge yesterday and today with a stop-over in Amarillo.  Today, they took the 87/I-27 north through New Mexico into Colorado connecting to I-25 ("Ports to Plains corridor").  No issues.

A big stretch from Texline to Raton is called the Safety Corridor. Basically, there are random places where the speed limit drops for no reason ("speed monitored by aircraft"), there's nowhere to stop after you leave Clayton, and the 18-wheelers don't handle the wind so well. Oh, and you're supposed to turn your lights on for safety. It's not treacherous or anything--unless there's black ice.

You'll be fine.

I mean, we always go through Lubbock to Clovis to Ft Sumner and then up to Santa Fe for the night.  Then continue north.  A little longer? Yeah. Drastically more interesting. Absolutely.

They were excited to get to go skiing.  Now the trip back . . .

It's like 100 miles. There's nothing to it. I've done it during summer, winter, and spring break.  Like 30-40 times.

The most boring part of the trip is Amarillo to Texline.  At least you get to see some different terrain in NM.

As a kid growing up in Amarillo, Rabbit Ears, Sierra Grande, and Capulin always whetted my appetite for the bigger mountains you get to see when you cross over Raton Pass and start to see the Spanish Peaks. I've been over that road more times than I can count, at least now you have passing lanes instead of a two lane highway all the way to I-25. My favorite way out of Amarillo, thougn, is to go up Boys Ranch Road, so you at least get more of the varied topography of the Canadian River Breaks, instead of the boring drive up to Dumas.

This. The area NW from Amarillo is really beautiful.
