  10. Not really a huge splurge, but I enjoy Four Roses Single Barrel. Daily go to is Evan Williams black label. It's hard to beat for the price/quality. Don't have a favorite Texas brand, but have tried and like the stuff from FR (TX) and Witherspoon.
  11. CT and CTH
  12. Not sure how many Blinn transfers UNT has had. That school has traditionally been a pipeline for aTm in the past. Has produced some great players.
  13. Keep An Eye On Herman And FAU
  14. Really sorry to hear this news.
  15. That's kind of chicken S, but I don't have much sympathy for LT as a rule.
  16. I'm excited about this, but a little nervous. One of the best burgers I've ever had was from Ranchman's, and their steaks and CFS are good, too. Here's hoping they still have it.
