Saab cars

Do any of you know much about Saab vehicles? I'm looking at a 9-4x and am curious as to the reliability and safety of the vehicle. Thanks.

I have Otto to greet unwelcomed intruders. It's crazy because he is a huge teddy bear to family, friends, and welcomed guests.

re: Jimbo fans..one of his first visits in TX was with an elite 7on7 coach...

7 vs 7 is the "AAU" of High School football. I think it is the biggest component for the poor play of Texas colleges across the board.

re: How are PETE placement rates these days?

Didn't some universities (Texas, A&M, etc.) issue warning letters to incoming applicants about the bleak market?

Also, is a PETE degree better than a chemical, mechanical, civil, and so forth engineering degree?

Most engineers I know view it more as lesser engineering degree. :dunno:

:lol:

Do you pay people who show up and just start doing things unsolicited? Sounds like a volunteer to me.

White was defenseless - on his stomach.

Gronkowski put his force into his shoulder and aimed for the back of Tre White's head.

Gronkowski should be fined heavily and suspended for the rest of the season. If it were Jace Amaro or some other player like that, it probably would happen. It won't happen though because the NFL can make money off of marketing "Gronk" :rolleyes:

re: Pac-12 commish: USC should get nod over 'Bama with win over Stanford

Posted by Grandioso on 12/2/17 at 10:09 am

Didn't the two just play last season? I specifically remember USC coming out the tunnel hyped up, having players hold them back like dogs...

Yeah...that worked. :rolleyes:

Alabama beat the ever living shite out of them to the tune of 58-3 or something similar. It was "grown man football". Alabama just slapped them around like a 2 cent whore. Hell, we took them into 2 OT and should have beaten them with a true freshman getting his start.

I'm not interested in seeing that again.

Not really... :confused: Some places offer pork (mainly sausage form), but they primary offering is beef. There are a lot more cows in Texas than pigs...

Best watch $1,500-$2,000

Posted by Grandioso on 11/30/17 at 10:43 am

Looking to get my grandson a watch this Christmas for graduating law school and passing the bar examination.

In your opinion, what's a great, versatile (can dress up and dress down) watch in the $1,500-$2,000 price range?

Thanks for your thoughtful responses and help.

What is your preference? Which do you have?

re: #18 Virginia/Wisconsin Set College Basketball Back 40 Years

I stopped intently watching College Basketball after the death of the Big East. That was the conference and the tournament.

All these teams just duking and slugging it out in New York City.

That was the premier product and it was done away with. College basketball is vastly inferior and boring now.

This.

Why not TCU?

Ohio State would have lost to Oklahoma and Iowa.

TCU would have lost to Oklahoma (and beaten them in the Big 12 Championship) and Iowa State.
