Don't really know where to put this one.
His book on the Army/Navy rivalry was excellent. Most of his books were excellent.
I have never rooted for Texas to lose at anything, anytime, ever. I never will. However, if we happen to lose tonight's game, I'm thinking we will have a new MBB coach next season (although I suppose we could have a new one next year even if we happen to win).
Watched the last two episodes last night with Mrs. Smwhorn (no pics, sorry). Agreed on it being beautifully shot.
I would have been fine with Beth dying.....
Rent cars are literally across the walkway from the baggage claim if you get one. I like to have one bc we usually use PC as our base and then travel. Alta is a great mountain and not bad for a drive from PC. And for ski/board rentals, there are several shops close by so you can get them on your way to the resorts from the airport and not have to wait once you get to the resorts.
Just booked a place in Breck area from Feb 28 through March 9. Looking for ideas on lift tickets for Breck/Copper/Keystone/Vail/Beaver Creek. Won't be able to ski every day, but most.
We will be celebrating male offspring's 30th birthday. Best restaurant in Summit County?
I'll hang up and listen.
I'm in Chicago. Lots of ND shirts and attire at the hotel. I'm headed to Gibson's for a steak proudly wearing my burnt orange longhorn jacket.
I'll update later with any smart ass comments I get.
So if I were hypothetically looking to purchase tickets for a hypothetical future football game at some point in the future, and I wanted to buy them before Jan 1, 2025, do the seats in the 200s behind the goal posts suck any more (or less) than the rest of the sucky seats in the stadium? I can fortunately say that I've never been to Jerryworld before.
I'll hang up and listen....
Had dinner last night at Ocean 44. Outstanding in all aspects. Sat at the bar with Mrs. Smwhorn (sorry, no pics, I'll cut you, man). Great drinks. Great service. Great atmosphere. Even better food.
Played both Talking Stick courses. Both are worth it.
Casino is shit. It was clean and not all that smoke filled but I could not believe how crowded it was. There were literally no tables last night after we got back from dinner where there was more than one seat at the table. Most tables were completely full. Sportsbook was packed.
Lost both the over at 47.5 and the -18.5.
Won Auburn +1.5.
Thanks. According to the internets (including Golf Digest), the courses at Talking Stick are pretty good. Yes, I know they aren't Troon North or Greyhawk, but I was surprised at how often they were ranked in "top ten public courses in Scottsdale" when I was snooping around on social media.
Grew tired of her character long ago.
My rank speculation is that John knew this was coming, allowed it to happen, but set something in motion first that will be revealed later, maybe in the final episode.
