I know Texas has moved all the classes it can to online. My daughter is not heading back to campus right now. Her only non-online class is a microbiology lab. She'll just drive the 90 minutes to class and back for the one time per week that it meets - if that happens at all.

Really, every other similar situation we've had, camps, sports practices, etc, resulted in contagion. It's a virtual given that commencing in person classes at colleges will further promote spread. I don't see how this won't immediately hit the football program.

Sept 26th seems like the perfect date to confirm new cases.

My kids did 2 months of summer strength and conditioning camps and soccer practices with no issues.  But, that was all outside activity, no locker rooms, which I think makes a difference.

How's the storm, 320?
Its going to hit just east of the Tx/La boarder with wind up to 150 mph

Fortunately Houston will be spared any real problems

Galveston will have some high tides but the poor folks in Lake Charles will suffer quite a bit
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Glad to hear it.

My niece who lives in Galveston has been evacuated.

We'll probably get the rain in eastern Oklahoma rather than the western part of the state that needs it much more.

Galveston might get a little rain and maybe 20 mph winds but thats all

This storm is a killer to those who dont get out of its way

very happy to dodge this bullet

Yep, we live in Brazoria county just south of houston.  Dodged quite a bullet on this one.  In fact, it's quite pleasant outside today.  Didn't even get any rain.

So, I watch a show last night about BBQ in Texas, really about one spot and one lady who makes what it supposed to be the top Q in the state.  Snow's.  Anyone ever been?

https://snowsbbq.com/

The following episode was from Australia and the dude was not doing BBQ, he wasn't even grilling on the coals, but using flames.   I was not a fan, stopped watching.  the coals are where the heat is, and the heat is what makes grilling grilling.

Upside down if you ask me.

Yeah, Tootsie at Snow's in Lexington.  Fantastic BBQ and she's a real treasure.

They're only open on Saturdays so the line gets pretty long, gotta get there early, like 8 or 9 AM, if you want to be sure you get some.  I typically make the trek maybe once per year or 18 months, and haven't been since the Ronas began so I'm not sure how they're handling it, still lining up, or taking orders in advance, or whatever.

They are closed with the Rona, doing mail order only.

The Aussie dude offended me.  Maybe episode 3 is better.  That ain't Q.

He was a wussie sort also.
