And, yeah, why he didn't have a private jet on speed dial I dunno. But he's just rolling with a couple of strangers, doing what it takes to get to the game. Can you imagine Dodds doing such a thing? Or Patterson? Probably Perrin either, but I cut him some slack.
March 18, 20223 yr CDC has lost his mind. He could have easily flown into Chicago and driven an hour north to Milwaukee

He's all about fan and alumni engagement.
March 18, 20223 yr What are the odds that CDC and that Wheels dude hooked up? You’re asking if CDC got wheels off?
March 18, 20223 yr This seems scripted. If not flying on the team charter, he would have access to a number of private aircraft.

So yeah, seems like there would be plenty of money laying around or friends to have found an alternative. It could be just one of those “hey, let’s do this moment”. Who knows? Kudos for CDC for sharing and being a normal person.

March 18, 20223 yr That…..is so fucking cool. Wheels is an old friend of mine (his older sister was one of my best friend in college), and he’s a cool sonofabitch. Many moons ago, we got drunk at a horse track, picking the ponies and debating the merits of new recruit Matt Nordgren. And he married into longhorn royalty, so his orange blood is through-and-through. If this was going to happen to anyone, it was going to be Wheels.

It’s insane to me how many of the same people we know really well. I’ve known wheels’ brother (water attorney) and his wife for 25+ years. I asked DS about this today and his reply, “yep; this kinda shit could only happen to my fucking brother. “

Wheels’ older sister was one of my first friends at UT. And yeah, I had a bit of a crush on her back in the day. Hell, I only found out about this story when she told me today.

April 7, 20223 yr I'm glad it's only in a handful of residence halls, they should with that. If you're more comfortable in a single-sex, traditional dormitory arrangement, that'll still be the plurality/majority of rooms on campus. Not condoning nor condemning this, but do remember...well over 17,000 students live in West Campus. In buildings where there is no gender requirement. Individual units have mixed genders as roommates; hallways/floors/buildings are filled with multiple members of all sexes, all co-mingled with no rules. There are another 10,000 scattered throughout Austin who live in similar "open-gender" arrangements. It's good that there'll be options still. Not sure what this has to do with del Conte, but it was mentioned upthread.
