Thanks! That’s how I feel. I’ve been fascinated with the mountain and Sherpa culture since I read Into Thin Air 20 or so years ago. To see the Himalayas up close, meet and get to know the people, food, customs is a bucket list item for me. To do it with my sons? Priceless. But i’m 56 now, no way I’m attempting to climb it.

I’m a little concerned about the altitude. I’ve got three weeks of Diamox. My doctor told me to start a day before I leave and continue until I get home. And we take it slow. Hike a day, acclimate for a day, hiking higher, coming back down to sleep. Rinse and repeat. There’s really no way to prepare your body for that altitude. We’ll see.

I was surprised to learn the tea houses we stay in along the way have WiFi until you get closer to BC. I’ll try to post some pics.

We needed a new OL coach.

Hold our beer.

Pittman will likely give him free rein of the offense, but you can’t help wonder how these two temperaments will work together. Sam “Aw Shucks” Pittman and Bobby ‘Inferno’ Petrino. What will coaches meetings look like?

Once we warmed to the idea of a position coach running our program, Hog Nation showed him a lot of love his first two seasons. He was a humble, decent man who genuinely loved our state and said most of the right things. We shrugged, jumped aboard and said ‘let’s see what happens’. Then he became OUR 9-4 position coach. He basked in the love. It’s like he never even considered or anticipated how we would react if things went south. Now that the wheels have come off, the whole ‘aw shucks’ shtick is offensive (no pun intended). We want and need substance. Unfortunately, it ain’t there and never has been. The emperor has no clothes.

This experiment was doomed from the beginning.

Texas A&M stoops to new low by unhiring Mark Stoops amid fan revolt

The Aggies are still under the delusion that they deserve a big time college coach

A&M still has the Johnny Manziel-era overconfidence permeating through the pores of its fans, who thought Ryan Day would be interested in abandoning his post and the lofty annual expectations at Ohio State for the calm, reasonable fanatics at Texas A&M.

No coach without a national championship or a playoff appearance on his resume is good enough to coach their esteemed program, so you can understand why they were losing their minds over Stoops.

Instead, A&M’s Napoleon Complex has led them to believe that they need to continue making big swings, no matter how badly they whiff and humiliate themselves.

I’d wager GreyReb is a Millennial. Enthralled by loud, flashy and shine over substance. Dig a little deeper and I bet he’s pissed there isn’t a safe space in the stadium too.

Gus is 5-5.

Vaccine. Literally.

According to the CDC.

September 1, 2021: “A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease.”

September 2, 2021: “A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.”

Polish MEP Dominik Tarczynski: "This is why our government was elected. This is why Poland is so safe."

You’ll cheer this guy’s unapologetic defense of Poland’s strict immigration policy.
