London is great and this is a great museum. Somewhat off the standard itinerary but well worth it. Cutty Sark, Royal observatory and this museum.

re: Texas is one of the most overrated states to live in

San Antonio is underrated, not overrated. Especially after the last 10 years of development.
Keep in mind no one that lives in SA goes to the downtown river walk. That’s for tourists. Much better places: Pearl and Southtown for action, Alamo Heights, Boerne, Bulverde, Northside for families.
It is miserable hot for 6 months

There’s lots of data about the auto admit programs at UT and TAMU. Biggest beneficiaries are rural kids from east and west Texas (white and Hispanic) and kids from south Texas (Hispanic). Lots of small high schools and easy to get in top %.
It doesn’t really help black kids from inner city. If they are eligible for automatic admission at UT, they are getting plucked by the Ivy League, top HBCUs or getting full rides at private schools.
Losers are A minus suburban kids who go to competitive high schools.

re: Best grill
Posted by Fletch1985 on 3/2/25 at 8:13 pm
Decide whether you want charcoal, pellets, or propane. Different amount of work involved to cook on each of them.
I prefer Weber of all types because replacement parts are easily available. I use my propane Weber 3-5 days a week and have had it for 12 years. Have replaced internals several times at a fraction of the cost of a new grill

I’ve met her. Looks great in person. Lives in NYC but sings at Houston Grand Opera fairly often.
re: Does anybody here actually eat canned fish?

Canned Spanish calamari pieces in olive oil from Trader Joe’s. Unique and addictive

Texas was in total control yesterday, even after the halfback pass for a TD. Then Sark tried for a quick strike instead of grinding ASU down like they have done against other teams this year. That coaching mistake put most of the team and all of the coaches in full choke mode.
Taaffe, the OL, Bert, and Sark choked. Only reason they won is Ewers, Golden and Helm. Texas has plenty of talent to match up with OSU. It’s whether they have the mental strength.

If my information is incorrect, provide rebuttal information. Otherwise we will assume your attempts at distraction are a substitute for being able to make a rebuttal.

Hatfield was offered the job, then afterwards Arkansas wasted Jimmy’s time to bring him in for a fake interview. Then Jimmy hung 51-7 on Arkansas at home. So I would say Arkansas should have offered Jimmy the job.
And Lacewell’s comments were about whether Jimmy should leave Oklahoma State. Not which job he should take. Jimmy has been very clear in his public comments that he wanted the Arkansas job and Arkansas shanked it on several occasions.

Maybe, but it’s this kind of thinking that keeps Arkansas football, well, Arkansas football. Same reason they didn’t go after Kiffin in 2017. And ended up with Morris and Pittman.

Arkansas hired Hatfield instead of Jimmy Johnson. Part of the ambivalence about Hatfield is remorse about the one that got away, Jimmy Johnson. But Arkansas is really good at hiring the wrong guy.

Green lights (his book) is fun to listen to. He is the narrator and brings it to life. It’s mostly funny, but there’s actually a few good life lesson nuggets in there.
Bowl Opt Outs

Can we get a thread for known opt outs?
It’s hard to bet games when you don’t know who is going to play.

re: Has anyone here joined Sedera Medical Cost Sharing, or anything similar? I have questions.
Posted by Fletch1985 on 11/21/24 at 1:17 pm
Haven’t heard of Sedera but there are established Christian health sharing ministries that do the same thing. I think the largest one has hundreds of thousands of members.
re: The Grove
Posted by Fletch1985 on 11/5/24 at 3:26 pm
Bought a tent multiple times as a visiting fan in the Grove. No issues whatsoever. Easy, just have food and drink setups delivered, bring your alcohol and pay for the tv to be set up. Fun times. Don’t stay away bc of what’s said on here, but don’t just show up thinking people will adopt you
re: Worst "fall" in hill country since I moved here - recs on places with milder climates
Posted by Fletch1985 on 10/26/24 at 11:31 am
Mild and wet July and August this year. Hot September and October. Been in Austin/SA area since 1997, fall doesn’t reliably start until Halloween, then it’s over by thanksgiving. It is what it is. Don’t think the weather has really changed much, just a LOT more people here.
Pro move if you like fall is head to Rockport/Port Aransas in late Nov thru Christmas. It’s fall down there until January.

re: Dealers offering discounts on cars again
Posted by Fletch1985 on 10/17/24 at 7:24 pm
The truck manufacturers think they have a captive audience and can charge whatever they want. And until people stop buying those trucks they will keep raising prices.
I kept my old truck and bought a CPO BMW sedan for road trips and nights out. Use the truck for truck things. I was shocked at how much car I got for 2/3 the price of a similar year model truck.
