This week we play the Cowboys at their place

The Eagles made them look pretty bad in the first half, but I still think Micah Parsons is just too much for the Longhorn tackles.  It'll probably get pretty ugly.

  And it's a game we would have lost last year. 

ISU is kind of the Kentucky of the Big 12.  Salty defense, offense that does enough to make the entire game dangerous for a more talented team.  It's hard to take either seriously, yet there they are putting the breaks on a lot of teams that would've been hard to fathom a decade ago.

Surprised me too.

They might be riled up, but there's also a reason there's a saying "don't let one loss beat you twice."  Regardless, road games haven't historically been one of Sark's strengths.  I'm just glad it's not at night.

We're still working with 18-22 year olds. Texas doesn't have upperclassmen with winning resumes who could educate the youngsters. There's a good chance that they thought the hard work was done after OU, and lost a little focus.

Between Alabama, Tech, OU, and ISU, this team is showing me they're as good as they want to be. Ideally, they'll internalize the notion that they practice against their own standard, and play games against their own expectations. That's a feature of mature winners. It's hard to skip that painful step.

Got tix to the Ole Miss game and been planning that for several weeks.  For all the world I thought Texas was off this weekend, and I believe I told Mrs. DeTiger that, but Texas and LSU are playing at the same time.  

Wonder if I'm about to be in the doghouse over this.  

Just another reason to hate Ole Miss :)

Come on, you know you want to say it...

Ole Piss


I'll be at Formula 1 all weekend.  The Texas game will overlap both the 3rd practice session, and Qualifying, so I'll miss most of it. But there are plenty of TVs in the VIP areas so I'll be able to catch at least a bit.

I had to look up Circuit of the Americas.  I was wondering how in the world I was oblivious to that while I was there, but looks like that's all been done since I left.

First race was in 2012, they started building in 2009 or 2010.

I have driven on COTA for an entire day, it was rather thrilling.

I've sneaked onto the track at night and raced mopeds on it.  Fun times. 

I've also run a couple 5Ks on it and done a couple bike rides, but racing mopeds was more fun.

I was the slowest driver in the group.  Unfortunately, I have learned to drive to "save the car", making it last longer, brake pads and whatnot.  It's a tough habit to overcome.  They replaced both tires and brake pads on these cars each day, so it wasn't needed.  I still have a tough time hammering the engine like we did.  It was great fun.

When getting to the finish line first is the only criterion, you drive the car a lot differently. It's a violent movement where you push the limit of physics. The tires will only grip to a certain force. Braking hard to throw the weight forward onto the front tires increases that grip force - allowing you to power harder through a turn. Once you're through the apex, you're hard on the throttle to power out. The tires are operating right on the limits of static friction. Your body is constantly eating all these internal forces as the car slams from forward inertia to side inertia to rear inertia.

When someone else is paying for the tires, suspension, engine, and transmission, it's a fun way to drive (albeit painful).
