And this will be the last year they play annually.

Great job Sankey.

This. Why they didn't give Bama LSU but State instead baffles me.

Lived in Kingwood, TX and worked most every day on west side of Houston around Richmond and Westheimer

Damn, were we neighbors? Also from LA as well, but North of you, in Monroe. I still live in Kingwood though lol. I used to work in the Galleria area but got a job working off the Beltway 8 near Summerwood so that commute became painless. I really don't even consider it a rat race living in the burbs of Houston. However, I got a job offer back in March for a much better opportunity with a ton of upside for growth but with a huge downside, it is back working in the Galleria area. It took me a month to even come to grips with accepting the offer and it was 100% about making this God awful commute again. I took it because I can get up at 0400 and lift/train down here to beat the traffic and then hit up a place with a golf sim before I head home on the flipside, but honestly I have zero family life during the week. I guess it's ok since my kids are grown and my wife pretty much does her own shite anyway, but it gets old. We are thinking about moving down here but housing prices are obscene and the people inside the loop feel fake. However, this lifestyle isn't sustainable long term.

I honestly want to do like you and move back to LA when I get ready to unplug., I tried moving back to Monroe for a job right after Harvey gutted me but it don't work out and ended up back in Houston. It was nice though moving back to ur home town when you are an actual adult with a real job and real income and not a kid, but small town Louisiana does have it's negatives as well which anyone there can surely attest. However, I miss my friends that I still hunt and fish that can literally be in a duck blind in 30 minutes from their homes and the lifestyle there is so much more laid back than even living in the H-town burbs.

There are very few YMCAs that exist at all anymore.

They are all over Houston scattered between inside the loop and in the burbs. The ones I have been in have very nice gyms with good equipment as well so they aren't just some dopey little one step up from a hotel gym either.

As for day camp, I went during the Summers for a few years to one in Monroe back in the 80's. It was ok and thinking about it, that's where I actually learned about weight lifting. Most of the counselors were high school kids so supervision was a little sketchy from what I remember but some of the guys played football and would show us how to lift.

I was a mummy wrapped in toilet paper. Maybe 3rd grade. Looked like I walked through Toomers Corner. It looked good but unraveled as we went around the hood. Everyone on the bus the next day knew every house we hit by the trail of TP.

but there wasn’t much incentive for a President to do so.

Kinda like Iran. Every president since Clinton punted that football to the next one.

Trump isn’t going to resign.

I kinda doubt they really push impeachment all that hard at this point with just 2 years left. With Vance distancing himself from Trump, the last thing they need is for him to become President and the masses start liking him and he becomes a new threat to them.

Hegseth is gonna be the one they go after.

You think the committee will drop bama EIGHT spots for losing on the road to LSU?

No, but I think they fall right on that cut line. I think they are outside looking in if Kentucky also shites the bed down the stretch.

Tua just had surgery on his ankle during the bye week in 2019 after injuring it during the UT game. I am sure he was on so much sauce he probably doesn’t remember the first half.

I think it was almost entirely Iran and gas prices. Otherwise, things were going pretty well.

Very similar to how Obama got elected. There wasn't a snow balls chance in hades a Republican was getting elected after W.

For the like of me I had no clue what Trump was thinking getting us into a war with Iran, especially after he ridiculed W for getting us into Iraq and promising no new wars.
