Texas deep freeze carnage thread
From a foundation standpoint, both are quite close (first floor). In terms of the city line meeting residence, to be honest I don't know. How would I figure this out? Maybe this helps answer the question, but we have a second floor and all pressure and heat/cold water is fine on the second floor in all bathrooms. It seems like no matter, all bathrooms on the second floor should be further from what you're mentioning than a first floor master bath, but maybe I'm missing something. What should we watch for, just in case our situation is similar to yours? I'm behind on the thread, so don't know your specifics. Thanks for the help here.

Texas deep freeze carnage thread
Ok, we were almost in the 70s here today, so I can safely say any thawing that needed to happen should be done by now. With that done, I've got a pretty strange situation going on with plumbing, curious if anyone here has any ideas. I was able to run water the entire way through the freeze, hot and cold from all faucets. Now that everything is done, every faucet in the house seems to have returned to normal...except two. In the master bath, the tub and shower are right next to each other, along an exterior wall. The shower has hot and cold water fine, the pressure just seems a bit low. The pressure everywhere else in the house seems normal. The tub is more confusing. The cold comes on with great pressure and really cold. The hot comes on what seems like 50% pressure, and never gets hot. I've run it for an hour, it doesn't get hot. That's while the shower right next to it does get hot. We have no signs of any leaking or damage anywhere, but something obviously seems off here. Any ideas? I'm planning to call a plumber if it stays like this, but guessing that since my situation isn't dire I won't be able to get one for weeks.

Update, much to my surprise, space heaters behind the fridge and pointed at the wall worked. Still no drip outside. I haven't checked, but if we're frozen we're frozen. Every faucet in the house is dripping and still have hot and cold most places. One odd thing is that in just a room or two I have pressure from the hot valve, but the water stays cold. Can't make sense of that one. There's a sink that won't get hot, but has pressure, but the shower in the same room gets hot. I'm baffled. Master shower is down to a trickle, both hot and cold. I'm not sure what to make of that other than that we're possibly barely avoiding a freeze there. I have it turned on all the way but can't get much out of it. Going to run space heaters in that bathroom all night to see if heat through the walls helps. It's still really cold here, so I'm pretty worried about the impending thaw. Given some of the other pictures here, it's exactly what I've been working for days to avoid. The only thing that worries me is that master shower and not knowing what's going on at the outside faucets. Probably another 3 days here until we'll know. Hope everyone is safe and warm tonight.

I was able to talk to a plumber yesterday, so here's what we're doing based on his feedback: - we still have no water through the line to our fridge, and he recommended space heaters towards the wall behind the fridge (outside facing). We ran two strong heaters behind it for 8+ hrs yesterday, still nothing, so we'll try again today. - we've had hot and cold running out of every faucet since yesterday morning. Some of the pressure is pretty low now, but he recommended keeping it running. - I've only had my outdoor pipes wrapped, not dripped, and he said he's doing the same at his home. I have no idea if that's going to end up being better or not. I almost went out last night to test them and possibly drip them, but I have zero expertise in this area and could easily go wrong either way. If the one plumber I was able to talk to said just keep it wrapped, that's what I'll do for now and we'll see how it goes. Hope everyone gets through this safe and damage free. I miss being a kid when snow storms could just be fun.

So we've kept water running throughout the house and everything seems ok as of this morning, except for the water line from the fridge. I can't get any water out of that, so assuming that's not a great sign. Do I need to disconnect the line from the fridge and try to thaw it somehow? The kitchen sink, which is right next to where the fridge is, has hot and cold just fine, so I'm a little surprised. Then again, I know nothing about plumbing. Assuming hot and cold are fine elsewhere throughout the house, how concerning is no water from the fridge?

What was your most heart breaking moment as a sports fan?
08 Crabtree catch. 08 switzer announcing bcs standings 09/10 Colt going down It's interesting that we've sucked a lot more since these games, but much less heartache involved. When you know you suck, it's maddening, but not the same as losing when you know you were great. Colt going down in the championship is probably the one that got me most. I told my wife when it happened that the game was over because Colt was the reason our team was great. A backup simply wasn't going to replace that. Colt going down was hardest not because we were going to lose, but because it felt like he deserved the chance to play that game, win or lose. By all accounts Colt was the hardest worker on the team during those years. He wasn't as naturally talented as some, and had given everything for four years to get to that moment (even after arguably having the opportunity taken from him in 08). Of course I wanted to win, but I wanted him to have his shot on the biggest stage. I still can't watch or think about that game much because it's one of those times when the universe seems unfair. The only thing that makes me feel a bit better is knowing the guy has a crazy hot wife and has made millions over a long career without taking a beating every week for it. Maybe that's karma or whatever balancing things out.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting
- Urban Meyer to Jacksonville Jaguars
If you listen to some of our resident ohio state fans, meyer thinks of nothing but ohio. Every day, in every decision he makes, he considers his love for ohio and his Ohio State legacy above all else. Even above $50+ million in personal wealth and the opportunity for unparalleled success in the field to which he's dedicated his life, he values his perception in the hearts and minds of Ohio State fans.- Urban Meyer to Jacksonville Jaguars

His defense of the awful hire sounds a hell of a lot like Herman defending Casey Horny. I guess that's one more thing he ripped from Meyer's playbook.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting

They have two recruits in the last 3 days. Before that, their last recruit was 1/21. You're right, they're on quite the tear.- 2021 Texas Offseason: Sark Attacks Austin
I think his point is that poona ford is a tremendously talented football player who has been productive at every stop of his career but also underestimated at every stop of his career due to not fitting the expected measurables mold for his position. The facts that 1) he was underrated out of highschool based on dumb emphasis on measurables and outperformed that ranking at UT and 2) he had his best season at UT under Todd Orlando and Tom Herman combine to prove that anything bad we've ever said about charlie Strong is wrong, and we should feel bad about it.- 2021 Texas Offseason: Sark Attacks Austin
- 2021 Texas Offseason: Sark Attacks Austin
The players wanted to play for charlie but weren't coached well enough to play well. The players were better coached under Herman, but didn't give two shits about playing for him.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting
It was hyperbole on abandoning CA, but vouch for Helton's popularity in state at your peril. They were very, very close to a disastrous season in a very weak p12. They leveraged that and no HS football into a respectable class this year, but that doesn't make it a trend. If a couple of those bounces don't go their way, Helton's seat is hotter than Tom Herman's last December and I suspect the recruiting would've trended accordingly. We'll learn a lot based on whether Helton can keep pulling rabbits out of his hat this year or not. I've seen enough from him to believe he'll revert to his mean of being a sub-Herman level coach, complete with a bunch of Herman's assistants now. I don't believe the 21 season or 22 class will be kind to SC.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting
I love that Helton is so unpopular in California that sc is worried about needing to expand national recruiting, so they choose Texas as a target. If any market is just sitting there available and waiting to be conquered by Clay Helton and Todd Orlando, it's Texas. Especially considering Sark is fairly respected on the west coast and should play a part in pillaging sc's back yard. Bold strategy, cotton.- 2021 Texas Offseason: Sark Attacks Austin
I don't know if there's anywhere that tracks targets and completions. Looks like Cosby had 92 completions his senior year while duv had 106, but Cosby also played along side Shipley (and in a much more pass-heavy offense). Either way, we'd kill for any of our current receivers to emerge as consistent hands guys like these two were. I guarantee there was no doubt who was catching the slant against Ohio State in that fiesta bowl. Not sure we have a guy that dependable now.- 2021 Texas Offseason: Sark Attacks Austin
2008 Quan Cosby would like a word with you. You're not wrong, though. I'd love to see a completion % rate (at least on catchable passes) for sr Cosby and sr duverney. Both were pretty fucking nails if the pass was reasonably catchable.- Surly we have some work to do on Mike Stoops
Even if this was true, all accounts suggest that the guy is an asshole who coaches and players hate working with. There are plenty of talented coordinators who are not. If being an asshole isn't enough, this would've been the easiest negative recruiting gift to our rivals. Sure, he's only a position coach, but at one of the most important positions in this defense. Can you imagine the pitch from ou when we're both after a 5 star lb? There's no question how that would go down, and what's worse is there's nothing on Stoops' resume to say that they're wrong. If I was a stud lb recruit looking at Mike Stoops, I'd have no reason for optimism based on his resume today. Add to that, he's sark's guy, not coach k's. So he would've immediately saddled this dc with a coordinator who handicaps recruiting and who coaches and players hate working with. Instead, now we have a guy who coach K knows and who knows his system, and at very worst is a net neutral in recruiting. This should've been the easy choice from the start and the fact that it wasn't is the first questionable move sark has made in his time here. Winning will go a long way to helping everyone forget this happened, though, so let's get on to that.- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
I just read two seconds of that guy's bio and already know he's worlds better than Mike stoops. Actually I read his name and knew he'd be better, because he isn't Mike stoops. This would, yet again, be a great hire for Sark. Why we fucked around and even tried to push through such a terrible choice when there were so many good choices out there is beyond me, but I'm glad to see we're back at rational decision making again.- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
I wonder if it's intentional that this hire is coming out after he did all of the donor, alumni, and ex player calls. Feels likely.- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
It is only one guy making the claim, but the silence from all camps who could potentially dispute it is deafening. - Urban Meyer to Jacksonville Jaguars
