re: Houston Texans...I can’t seem to support the Texans and I can’t say why

There was no way in hell Bud Adams was ever going to let Houston keep the Oilers name. That man hated Houston for not giving him a new stadium even though he stayed here and ran his empire while his football team moved to Nashville.
Honestly, I think one of the main reasons that the Texans haven't really established themselves as the brand that lets say the Astros and Rockets are to H-town outside of the history that left with the Oilers is that Houston is kinda a transient town. Saints fans here are more passionate about the Saints than Texans fans are just because there are so many people from Louisiana that are here. It is culture to them. With that said, the influx of new people to H-town for work that have had kids that have grown up here in Houston honestly don't know shite about the Oilers but have embraced the Texans. My son who is 28 played his first pee wee tackle football season on the Kingwood Football League Texans. He is a Texans fan because he never knew the Oilers.

re: How many of you live in a trailer?

My wife is hesitant because it’s a trailer and says they don’t hold value.
I think that depends on if you make it a permanent dwelling. I went to a hunting camp with a triple wide that had a covered wooden deck attached to the entire length of the front. It was basically a porch that you see on lots of Acadian style homes with steps leading up it. It had the rocking chairs and a hammock with multiple ceiling fans like all of those type homes have. There was actually a metal roof on the trailer that extended out over the deck so it looked pretty seamless. I honestly would not have thought it was a mobile home at first glance and the inside was very nice. It was a far upgrade from the trailer I lived at in college. Not sure it wouldn't be carried away in a tornado but it every bit as nice as a custom built brick home.
I wonder if the state can work the angle that they really aren’t much of a migratory species so they really shouldn’t fall into the federal framework for approval.
re: Apparently, selling fireworks is pretty lucrative
Posted by MWP on 12/31/25 at 2:54 pm to Srbtiger06
I have a good friend that has like 10 locations. All of the fireworks come from China and he usually orders enough to cover New Years and the 4th because it takes a pretty good lead time to get big fireworks orders in. His order comes in on a cargo ship so that’s why he orders in advance. Yes there is a gigantic markup on fireworks. Insanely marked up. He kills it when it is good weather but the tariffs did sting for him. He keeps any unused fireworks in a big arse storage place he owns along with all the stands.

re: Toughest course in the Houston area
Posted by MWP on 12/18/25 at 11:50 am to Cleathecat
Yep Deerwood is light years ahead of all the courses on the reservation but it is also light years ahead in that monthly bill as well. Luckily I get to play it a bunch with a vendor who also lives in Kingwood. I don’t think Deerwood is Mag Creek level hard but it does have some quirks that can bite you if you don’t know the course at all. What I like about it is they keep it in great shape despite the hurricane damages and they just redid the greens. It also isn’t a boring course and has some pretty scenic holes plus it has the Tin Cup hole.
I’m the exact opposite. I book every flight I take at the back of the plane on a aisle seat and when everyone is in a mad arse rush to get off I usually just get up and go to the restroom while everybody just stands waiting for the aisle to clear. One less thing I have to do once I’m off the plane.

MMA fighters and boxers are actually some of the nicest ppl you'll ever be around in public. Obviously some are assholes, but lots of even current UFC guys are just good dudes. Kind of like knowing you can kick anyones arse kind of makes you lose all the bullshite fake tough guy pretenses and you have nothing it prove.
I train BJJ and my previous school was owned by a dude that did MMA so we had lots of upper tier MMA and UFC guys come in from time to time. You are right, most UFC guys are pretty legit and pretty humble. We have had Matt Hughes, Melvin Guillard, and Tim Credeur come in to train. In fact, Tim gave a standing invite that any body from Houston that came through Lafayette could come roll anytime and since I used to travel to our office in Geismar a lot back in the day for my real job I took him up on that. That is where I met one Duston Poirier but he was just really a kid back then. Also have trained with Nate Diaz through Kron Gracie at Kron's school. Nate might come across as an arse but he is honestly really cool.
I agree. Times were much simpler then. Hand held cell phones were just becoming a thing but everyone wasn’t addicted to their phones like they are now. Internet wasn’t really a thing either which is just another addiction. Our military just got done pushing Iraq’s shite in back to the Stone Age. We didn’t really have any military threats which kinda sucked to a degree because we started gutting that same military. Ducks still migrated to Louisiana.

Front nine is actually pretty easy. Yep the back nine has kinda an absurd layout and obviously 18 is a challenge if you can't drive over the water. With that said, I rarely play it unless I get sucked into it for a tournament. I pretty much stick to the Forest or Lakes when I play on the reservation.

Got several buddies in League City and one in Friendswood. All have kids that that have made it through high school into college. None of them have complained about schools at either place. What I like about a Houston burb is being able to go eat and do stuff without having to drive unless you want to go into the city. You can certainly do that in League City. It is a self contained place unlike Kingwood where I live that doesn't have a ton of good places to eat or do much like the Woodlands.

I couldn't sniff 405 when I was 17. Shite, I thought 225 was heavy then. If you could put 3 plates on you were a man walking around boys at our high school and we weren't exactly a pushover at football. There may have been a dozen dudes that could press much over 315. Heck 405 is a milestone that most advanced lifters never hit.
re: Dan Crenshaw is suing Shawn Ryan for defamation of character

Crenshaw is the swampiest of the swamp rats. I think he's got a pretty big stronghold in his district, but hopefully someone primaries him.
He is the congressman for our district. Dan has held a vice grip on any competition that has stepped up to primary him although I see that coming to an end or at least becoming more contested if the last town hall he had here is any indication. Lets just say that thing didn't go all that well. I think he has pretty well had a falling out with his base here.
I lost all respect for Dan with has handling of Eddie's situation. You would think Team guys would actually help each other out but it is actually a running joke in the Teams that absent of an enemy you go after each other. Eddie tried to work the Team's angle with Dan and he pretty well blew him off to the point I think he borderline tried to railroad Eddie. Eddie has been pretty vocal about it so it's pretty well common knowledge now and I actually think Eddie did that on multiple Shawn Ryan podcasts so you have to figure Shawn was already anti-Dan. Add to the fact that SEAL's aren't ones to escape any limelight or drama and it looks like this situation just adds more fuel to that fire. Should be fun to watch this little dust up play out.
re: What % of your school’s enrollment comes from inside the SEC footprint?
Posted by MWP on 12/11/25 at 2:47 pm to Slums_Alum
Bama made a strong push about 5 years ago tapping into the Houston area. We live in a H-town suburb and I have a son that graduated back then. Bama recruited his high school pretty hard. Obviously I wanted him to go there but he got into aviation his Junior year and wanted to become a pilot so he ended up at LA Tech on damn near a full ride but several of his buddies ended up in T-town. They all pledged fraternities and said that over half of their pledge classes were OOS'ers with lots coming from the NE with the rest lol Texans and Georgia kids that couldn't get into UGA.

It's kind of weird that there was really no collateral damage from this. The lawyer is still married and has his practice intact with his wife and the chef still runs his little restaurant empire. All still in Monroe.

I don't understand how someone thinks they can DL 455 from a disadvantaged position (balls over your face, bar too far from their legs, etc.) I get that people panic in a crisis, but it should take 3 seconds to realize to run to one side of the bar and hold it up so you could roll out from underneath it.
There was so many mistakes that happened with that lift I am so lucky that I was able to walk away from it. It changed how I lifted moving forward forever. Honestly I have been caught a couple of times previously to that situation on flat barbell bench without a spotter where I couldn't get it and had to dump the weight but I never use pins. I learned that from when I first started lifting. Makes a hell of a racket doing that and you look like a tool in the process but you are walking away with nothing but a bruised ego. I should of caught that he put those on the bar before even attempting that lift, especially with a spotter I didn't know and especially with that weight. I will never make that mistake again. As for spotters, I learned that you damn well better trust that person can get that weight off you if shite hits the fan because you tear a pec doing flat barbell bench, you might not even be able to even see saw the weight off of you.

Nursing homes are filled with elderly parents with kids that don't give a damn about them and never visit.
I am well aware of this and it is sad. Especially to the vets who I am very partial too. They deserve better. I say this because my wife and her family just put her dad in a nursing home. It has been a borderline trainwreck as my MIL is not the easiest to handle this situation. They started with in home care but that didn't work because they couldn't get responsible care or dependable help. Honestly that could be a legit business venture but I digress. My wife goes to see her dad every day but she is a unicorn. I bet 90% of the people hardly get a visitor whether it is family or friends. Really hit home at Thanksgiving. With that said, at least the kids involved had something to do with getting them there and that is the problem I have seen with the folks getting into this situation. They literally don't plan for the situation and I can only imagine what it would be like for some without kids. Without my wife, my FIL would be up a creek without a paddle.
