The horns eating humble pie and deciding to join the SEC is one of the more comical turn of events in CFB in the last year.

I've been saying for the past decade that the SECSECSEC was inevitably where the Horns would end up, and that Texas and OU would go together.  It's both a blessing, and a curse, always being right about everything.

And you know better than to think Horns are capable of being "humble" about anything 'tall. :)

Hope you had a Merry Christmas.  How's that Corvette restoration coming along?

Sold it.  Didn't finish it, but was reasonably close.  Just didn't have time to work on it.  As my kids have gotten older, I got less and less time as they are each playing multiple sports.... so it didn't make sense to keep it.  Found a local couple who was excited to pick up where I left off and sold it to them.  My son just made the HS baseball team and starts practice for the spring season next week.... so any small amount of time I may have had to work on projects like Corvettes is out the window.  Even if it weren't for sports, I also picked up a new stick burner for weekend smoking so that would occupy my weekends anway.  

Since I sold the Vette, I recently filled that garage space with a new '21 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.  Tons of fun to drive so that's been cool and I have to admit, it's nice have two driveable cars in the garage now.

Very cool.  A couple years ago we sold my i s c & a aggie wife's old car and also got her a 2017 Wrangler Rubicon, 4-door so it's an Unlimited.  We both love that car.

Yeah... I got an unlimited as well.... Granite Crystal Metallic.  Also got the 6speed manual paired to the 3.6L.  Haven't driven a stick since my college days... That makes driving it that much more fun.  The wife is not as thrilled with that aspect of the purchase since she doesn't know how to drive it.

My wife wanted a red one, so that's what she got. :)  And it's her daily driver so it's definitely automatic.

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Guess so.

3 of us in a day's time is a veritable plethora. Some of y'all might call it an infestation.

Coming up on a quarter century of intermittent (very intermittent in recent years) banter with some of ya. Hard to believe...I had just finished my first year of teaching when I found CNN/SI, and I can retire in 2024. Crazy.

That's good for Nebraska.

I wish he'd stuck around, he was playing well before he injured his thumb, and presumably that would have healed during the offseason.  

But I can understand he felt that bringing in Ewers meant he wouldn't have any further opportunity.
