Ireland
Dingle is awesome. Been to Ireland twice with my wife and last summer we spent six days on the Dingle Peninsula, three nights in Dingle and three in Ballyferriter. Loved it. Also the Shannon airport is so easy to get in and out of.

Hindsight is 20/20- The 2019-20 Texas Longhorns thread
That is not below average. Other things have them 7th, so an average or below-average SEC team, but definitely not a below average team overall. They are projected as a tourney team, and the SEC is certainly not a below average conference. Top 2 or 3 this year in rankings I've seen. That said, it's not like a preseason scrimmage is grounds for celebration.

Getting to/from the Cotton Bowl - What is best way?
Staying at the Cambria downtown. Have a flight back to Austin out of Love at 8:20. I see no reason not to leave our bags with the bell desk, grab DART from St. Paul Station to the game, hang around for a few hours afterwards and grab DART (or walk a little and get an Uber if DART is still a cluster) back to hotel by 5 or so to grab bags and head to Love. Any dissenting thoughts?

Watched some of the 5/10 last week. Somewhat interesting, but don’t want to watch for hours at a time.

Morgantown Asshole Check In
And we are staying east of downtown near Carnegie Mellon if anyone wants to get a drink in the area.

Morgantown Asshole Check In
I’m not tall, and no longer blond. Unless you are talking about Nick. But he has no tits. Also, traffic coming in from airport is fucking awful. Backs up for miles to go through tunnel.

Fucker still doesn’t have his license. Next month or so.

Morgantown Asshole Check In
Flying up to Pittsburgh today with my son, visiting Carnegie Mellon tomorrow, renting car Saturday morning and driving down (so no, I won’t be drunk by 9. Hopefully by 11:30). Spending Saturday night in Morgantown and flying out of Pittsburgh Sunday afternoon.

4 Days in Denver
Going to be there 11/14-17. Going with my son to visit School of Mines on Friday, staying in Golden on Thursday night. Staying at the Crawford in Union Station Friday and Saturday night. Anywhere close by to eat, drink and watch college football all day Saturday that will let in a 17-year old (he doesn't get to do the drinking part)? Looks like the Denver Texas Exes have their gamewatching at Choppers, so that's a possibility, but I wanted to see if anyplace near our hotel would be a better option.

Following along for recommendations.

Mr. Lee is the best. Love having him at my table. It can go wrong, but it is awesome when it doesn't.
