and I tend to agree with Donald. I don't consider Steely Dan as Yacht Rock.
Pastor at my church. Sent the congregation a letter that he and his wife are getting a divorce but it in no way will affect his position as Senior Pastor (uh like hell it won't!). Guy was a complete narcissist.

Turns out he was having an affair with a congregation member he was "counseling" through her own rough marriage. Her husband spilled the beans to the Session.

Needless to say the Senior Pastor was fired, but amazingly it was very contentious with quite a few people backing him because "he gave good sermons".

Guy ended up marrying the uber rich chick he was having affair with and i now a "church consultant" living in a $4mil home. He's a complete POS.
he is a good recruiter. Elko took over making the DC calls this season after last season's shite show under Bateman.

and you do that by making the playoffs.

in the current format you get no credit for playing tough teams or even beating tough teams. It's all about how many losses you have.

what an amazing voice and apparently an all around great person. Saw them in a side tent at ACL festival years ago. Just me and about 100 people - they were awesome.

it just depends. Most likely it will just be colder, but the weather could be spectacular or freezing rain/ice/snow.

Currently 29 and Sunny in Cashiers. This next week will be spectacular - high in the 50's, and sunny, nights in the upper 20's.

I think for the OP the question is do you want a large city with all that is available or do you want a small town?

You can easily do a day trip to Asheville to see the Biltmore, etc. from Highlands/Cashiers.

I thought the Cotton Bowl chairman Hoss Brock passed way a few years ago, but apparently he's alive and well.

And for all you youngsters who don't know about Hoss Brock - he was famously quoted as saying the Cotton Bowl didn't want The University of Houston to win the SWC and go to the Cotton Bowl because “Damn it, half of these (Houston) people will come up here and eat at the 7-Eleven store, and the other half will be trying to hold it up,”
It’s also the prime time game. So much for ratings

If the OP is Asian, Indian, or Paki this is the correct answer. Otherwise Friendswood, Clear Lake, or League City is the answer

wow, you're right. Completely overlooked Randle. They've been blowing the doors off of opponents all season.

Looks like Randall Beat Iowa Colony in regular season by one score - should be a fun game tonight.
this is a peak off-season thread

SOC vs PNG might be the gmae of the weekend. Winner probably wins state.

Privates have some great athletes but not depth. But if you compare them to public schools their size, then they would absolutely hold their own. EHS and Kinkaid in Houston regularly play some public schools that are much larger than them and compete.

Yes. The one taken is the person not worthy of staying here on earth in the “new Heaven”. Christ and his followers are staying right here.
My FIL received one of the first PHDs in Petroleum Engineering for their fine program.
I can see them continuing to drop- Friday night game after a major holiday. School is out. Austin hotel prices are usually very high. Lots of people prefer to watch at home with their own food, beverages, bathroom and replay.
