    Housing market

    Hell, my brother is in MC area. Wanted a fire pit out of pavers & put a 5' paver border around the 15'x15' cement pad patio. Guy told him $34K. And when he asked when they could do it...'well, we really aren't taking jobs under $50k right now...anything else you want?' That was LAST summer...

    OU president letter on joining SEC

    Yea...but they're gonna have to play an SEC team in the Championship anyway...so they just as well play them all year. :rolleyes: =AZXf21nCsHTM15g86jZGwnmYfhk6jyXox0iI6CKNaz98w3vaY0lY6BwMkLU5rNSamnDbbQsoesiaSZKXlkFio7IXa5zWRDcB-n6Zh1cT343SJj7F_an1u5klB-M4_IKqzpg&__tn__=*NK-R']#texasfootball is...

    OU president letter on joining SEC

    11 AM starts are a problem when half your fan base are meth heads. That's about the time they start rolling out of bed.

    Housing market

    manufactured homes typically have poor resale. They're ok, but not the best quality. We just bought one off an adjacent property to eliminate the chances of it turning into a rental or a compound (has another mobile home on it, both were owned by land owners family). What I learned along the...

    Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC

    Here's a question. Does a successful lawsuit against ESPN mean that they'd be restricted from paying ou/ut & prohibit them from leaving? I know a forced marriage isn't a great option. BUT it'd be really fun to have them stuck here & miserable at this point. :cool: It's not like they'd tank...

    Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC

    So Texas Tech's MBB coach leaves Lubbock for Austin in April Kinda makes one wonder if he wasn't told that TT status as a P5 conference member was questionable going forward. Also...for MBB the SEC would be a much easier gig. I think it's clear this move has been coming for some time. OU...

    WILLIAMS: Answering some realignment FAQs about Iowa State, other conferences and more

    If you're Vandy, SC, Arkansas, or the MS schools...don't you start getting a little nervous about your standing in a 'super conference' It's been said the SEC has the ability to vote out schools...they aren't gonna create a super conference where blue bloods are outside looking in and Vandy's...

    Would You Welcome Missouri and Nebraska Back to the Big 12?

    I love playing everyone in FB and 2x in basketball. I love 10 teams much more than when we were a 'true' Big12. I don't miss either one enough to bring them back. I don't think either one made a better situation for themselves.

    NBA: Cyclones' off-season: contracts, draft, summer league

    Not shocked by Wigginton... Burton is both shocking and sad...he's a player. Not shocked that Cam hasn't seen the floor. Not shocked that Long & Shayok are $$$$

    THT out for the summer league

    That'll be all the more impressive if he doesn't do like 90% of them and piss it all away.

    THT out for the summer league

    I'm old school...but I think there is more exposure in college...and since none of them will be playing for a living in 10 - 20 years...having a free college education isn't going to hurt them as they try to put food on the table. Unless you're a lottery pick, it's probably best to stay in...

    Lake House - Buying Guide

    You'd be 1000 times better off renting. Endless maintenance...even if you're not there. The time you think you'll spend enjoying it...will be spent fixing it, maintaining it, updating it. If you spent $5k a year renting one...you'd be money ahead. Same for a boat or RV.

    THT out for the summer league

    I was also told 2nd round picks didn't impact the salary cap...not sure that's correct as I'm not an NBA guy. Had Leonard came to the Lakers that would have been a big deal for them...not so much now. Regardless he needs to develop...that is probably in the G at this point.

    THT out for the summer league

    Yep...the Clippers and being hurt have pretty much f'd THT...that and choosing to leave early. Where it looked like he'd be needed to fill cheap slots on the roster a week ago...he's now way down the depth chart & has no way to impress anyone sitting on the sidelines. More importantly there is...

    Haliburton a 1st Rounder in latest CBS Mock

    I love Haliburton, he's a great player & great team guy. It's ironic as he was most likely to be a red shirt coming into last season. I'm really sick of these stupid NBA draft projections...because as we've seen then mean NOTHING. Not a F'n thing. THT wasn't a 1st round pick. He damn near...
