Shhhh! You'll wake everyone up.:p

So Texas is starting true-freshmen safeties. Normally I would be concerned but last year UT was 106 in Pass D, so there is nowhere to go but up.

Anyone going to the game this weekend?

Have to interject here - my daughter (I was raised in Nebraska so everything was Go Big Red - whatever) learned Hook 'Em Horns at about 1 1/2 - I'm not even sure where. Yesterday, some guy was trying to teach her I love you in sign language. She just kept doing Index and Pinky and saying "Hook 'em horns" back to him. She didn't get it from us - MR BL grew up in SO Cal and between growing up in NE and going to school in GA, Texas was a bit off the map for us. If you ask her where she's going to college, she'll tell you Rice - smart girl :)

Congrats on the '99 National Championship. I was in Tempe to watch the Gators get thrashed by the 'Huskers and it wasn't pretty.

As for your daughter, learning to cheer for one team while getting education at a better school is a great trait. Better to stay affiliated/attached to a school with a decent sports program one way or another. Otherwise how would she be able to take sides in a random Box debate. Cheering for Rice is about as useful as cheering for Cornell. :p

Not true. Rice has an excellent baseball team. They made it to the College World Series this year (Fresno St. won). As for Cornell, I don't know what team they have that is successful. As for football, yeah, Rice isn't even on the map. But for baseball... Rice is way up there. Nobody thinks of baseball in college. It's all about football and basketball as the major sports in college.

P.S. As for me. I root for the 'Canes (born in Miami and raised in south Florida). I believe they put a thrashing on the Cornhuskers in 2002 in a certain Rose Bowl game. ;)

I hate job searches! I'm far too picky and the current job market in the areas I am looking at leaves much to be desired. :mad:

It was indeed a nappy day in the Box - everyone must have really been working or something.

Ibid. I always generally disliked AC, because as monitor can probably attest to, the stupid city can't get out of its own way. But thanks to where I am now, the casual dislike has grown into ALCO-esque festering pit hatred. I bit the bullet and sent a resume to the consulting place I had an eye on for a long time, knowing that 48 weeks a year is a long slog, but I need to make more money and I need to get out of this area.

Trust me, I'm not that big of a fan, but growing up there, well, you just realize it's part of living in the state. It is what it is. When she gets older, I'll teach her the Ramblin Wreck from Ga Tech song ;). And yes, I care far more for her education.

Argh! Worst schedule yet.

The fact that this is all self-inflicted is all the more :rolleyes:. Why didn't I opt for that career in Pirate-Bartending? Why?!

Sebastian the Ibis :rolleyes:
He better be ready when he flyes north Sept 6th

OUCH!!!:td: And planning a wedding:eek:

Does anyone remember who operated the Continental Express ATR-42 flights between EWR-PHL in the mid-late 90s?

Wasn't it just Continental Express? Back then, it was still part of the parent company.
