Right!

Reed's inability to be consistently D1 level talent even after 3 years, or our run defense getting gashed to pieces or just generally losing the trenches vast majority of the game, or Owens visibly regressing from last year, or the fact we are getting dumpstered by UK of all teams, etc.

None of that can hurt you if you don't let it!

Is it fall, like is it time for a&m to take a huge hit in the rankings by losing a game they should've won?

I hate Texas summers. The older I get, the more I want to move north but I can't convince the wife



I'll take the heat over snow any day

Man not me. Would give my left nut to live in a colder climate

About the end of the third quarter I was just wondering how often men who have lost a testicle say things like that. Or the poster who lost a limb pushing his wife out of the way of a wreckless car, how often does he say "I'd give my left arm for a beer about now."

JK!

It still stung a lil. Not as bad as it used too by any measure but getting waffle stomped in our house doesn't feel great either.

It is what it is. We have to play better next week than we did today.

I've watched A&M football for long enough to know that we have to do no such thing.

Calling it a day in Clayton, New Mexico. I'd hoped to make it to Amarillo tonight, but there's just about nothing for the two hours between here and there, so I'll be up early to make Amarillo ... by morning.

I was in the Army with a pretty cool guy from there.

I had family on my dad's side from Clayton and Raton.

The more I travel this country and the world, the smaller it seems.

It's weird, and I respect how you feel…but I feel the exact opposite…I feel it is much bigger. I recently took a road trip that was 2000 miles and the differences between Texas and all I saw and the people I met…it all felt so much bigger.

I completely agree with you in that regard. What I was getting at was more the connections that seem to pop up in random places. For example, I was in Seoul once and ran into someone I knew from my days at USAFA who happened to be sitting at a bus stop. I stopped at a rest stop in Vermont once and ran into someone I knew when I was at A&M. That's the sort of thing that makes the world feel smaller to. Lord knows the last two days of driving 1,700+ miles felt never-ending for sure.

Terrible sports day between A&M and the Astros. I've detached quite a bit myself so while there is some sting, it won't ruin my weekend like it used to.

All that said, Mrs scd88 and I hosted pre and post game festivities. All of the attendees were friends of our son and daughter. All of these late 20's folks are people we consider our friends, too, at this point. Today we found out:

Two couples are expecting their first child
Did a fun reveal for my son and DIL's baby that is due in March - a granddaughter will join the family and our grandson will be a big brother. We are stoked!

At the end of the day, all I ask for is happy and healthy babies.

To summarize, pretty good day.

Fall starts Tuesday. We won't notice.
Texas never does. Not sure why you are whining about it.

If we look at the last 10 years at temp measurements at IAH in the first day of fall, the temp averages ~91 degrees. That's about what 40% of Texas is used to, as ~40% of the populations live within 3 hours of IAH.

It will probably be a bit hotter in the valley and a bit cooler in the panhandle.

That IS Texas fall. Best to uncouple your notion of the ideal fall start from pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks in your flannel jammies or Christmas decorations being up in Wal Mart.

I expect high 80s and low 90s as high as this time of year with it cooling off at night. What I don't want is it to be 101 and walk outside in the morning and start sweating.

That's late July and somebody needs to tell mother nature it's not July anymore. She needs to wake up and do her job. Maybe we should just find someone else.

July weather is hot but August is almost always hotter.
