I like their o-line.  The QB.  The defense. 

I guess “ on any given day”
The Horns are a fun team for me to watch, no doubt.  I love the defense.  I realize Texas has yet to play any top offenses, but in recent memory even the BAD offenses we've faced, have victimized the Horns' defenders.  Especially the secondary.  This year they're at least shutting down the teams they should.

Georgia feels like the weirdest team to get a read on. They absolutely stifled Clemson, who have been really good since. They looked inept offensively against Kentucky. They looked both inept and very much ept against Alabama. They gave up 31 to 1-5 Miss. State. I have no idea what to expect from them against Texas.

Georgia's defense definitely appears to have issues. Lots of WRs running free in the past couple of games, which is where Texas makes its hay.  Horns only gave up 13 to Miss State a couple of weeks ago.  That may or may not mean anything.

I do expect the Bulldogs to play well and give their best shot.  It's tough to get up against Miss State but it's easy to want to knock off the team currently ranked #1.

Well over half the residents in our development are not here right now.

If you wanted to visit Naples or Sarasota, it's best done when they are all gone (and prior to hurricane peak season).

Sarasota is a mess right now.
Her a random Google, it apparently is about 1 million people or 5% of the state

Those numbers do not include visitors to homes, visitors to hotels, anyone here less than a month.

When I'm on the road and see half of the plates from OOS or Canada, I can tell you google is very much incorrect.

Look at CFawg's post on the price of a hotel room in July versus January.

I hope you don't sit back and wonder "why".

Big game in the ATX this weekend.  It's also Formula 1.  Hotel rooms that are normally $300 per night, were going for almost 10x that.  I probably should have rented out my house for the weekend...

College football rankings: ESPN reveals Week 9 FPI Top 25 with Indiana, LSU surge (247sports.com)

I generally ignore this FPI stuff, but this week seems to be more bizarre than usual.  They have Bama at 3 and Ole Miss at 5.

I guess they like SEC teams.

I don't know if we did, really, I don't know what to think.  The Dawg D gave them fits for a while, maybe they were just off kilter.

I learned when it seems everyone is picking one team in a top-5 matchup, the other team often wins.
