DistribAire P.E.

bid package came across my desk today

I'm getting quite nervous seeing over and over how corrupt this city is and wonder if i ever want to become a homeowner in this city.

+1

after the corruption of the process to annex kingwood and watching my property taxes double every 3-4 years and this on top of it I am moving to a different part of town that is not CoH this summer. hopefully

i believe a scenario similar to this (injuries, not necessarily making playoffs) is how Brady got his start. the NFL is not very good at picking QBs and there are several starters that went in the later rounds.... Im hoping we got one

I completely forgot the most important app I have: advanced task manager.

It allows you to kill any or all tasks running in the background. I run it a few times a day because there are apps that will "phone home" on their own that you can't turn off and sometimes can't even uninstall (Amazon mp3 store immediately comes to mind).

It also shows you all running processes that you can kill as well, and it has the option to uninstall any app from either the currently running list, or the master list.

That, combined with the discipline of turning off wifi, gps, and bluetooth when not needed (various droid OS's make desktop widgets and/or you can download free versions) will extend your battery life drastically.

this is what I was going to post, the advanced task killer is a must. its crazy how the droids have all these apps running in the background on their own.

you know SHSU is undefeated too...

of the schools listed I would take them right in that order: OK St, Stanford, VT hopefully one of those 3 can manage to not lose remaining games/conference championship and play LSU. I would like to see UH play Boise ST. UH is beyond over-rated and their sudden bandwagon fans coming out of the woodwork is getting on my nerves! =) In my opinion any of the top ten teams should stomp UH, but that is why they play the games instead of just following what should be so on paper. it will be interesting

well the first thing is to level those mountains and replace them with either forest or highways....

I just dont get SEC football. I guess its old school, tradition, the way football was 100 years ago, etc. but a 9-6 fieldgoal fiasco is just BORING to me. i watched the game and was entertained but I have rather watched a back and forth TD game like the Michigan vs ND earlier this year or Oregon vs someone with a combined score closer to 100 than only 10 points....

thank goodness Tech isnt listed this week, going with my heart has killed my scores the last two weeks!! I went from second to dead last i think

I dont know what the heck the BigXII -2 -1 +1 -1 needs to do. Supposedly Mizzou has decided to head over to SEC. I still think abandon ship and OU, OSU, UT, and TTU head over to PAC. We asked TCU to join, but what is the point? Are we just going to take some scraps from the big east?

I dont think UH will pull out the season without a loss, dont forget the heroics required to sneak past Louisiana tech by one point! Maybe they do, we will see, but I think its a bit early in the season to be getting wound up if UH gets snubbed for a BCS game or has to play another nonAQ school. Marshall, @ UAB, SMU, and @ Tulsa - will be interesting to see how those games turn out.

So it's gone from " We couldn't have done such a thing.. where's the photos and reports?" to "It's only a minor prank, so who cares? " .

How easily you now claim it .... No more denial on your part, guess that's a start.

no not at all, still very suspicious that a police report was not filed, even for a harmless prank (I would think TAMU would jump on the chance to find the vandals - wouldn't you?)...

and as usual, once again moving target with aggy to try to find a reason to bash Tech!

Remember your original post? "Techtards spray painted our team busses and spread dog poop inside them... "

that turned out to be a total lie! But are you least bit apologetic for being wrong, for calling us classless a-holes, or that your AD spread a slanderous lie nationwide? Nope, no problems bashing good ole Tech even though your reasons have turned out to be a lie!

So now what reason do you have to call us classless A-holes? because we wrote "Wreck 'Em Tech" in shoe polish on your bus. Wow - that does sound pretty classless and mean spirited - stay away from those guys. But the aggy pride wont let you go back and admit you made a mistake. nope- you decided we are classless so even though you dont have a reason anymore you are going to keep calling us names. Which calling people names is "classy", right Aggy?

See thats the problem, every year that something supposedly happens - you jump to conclusions about classless Tech, a few days later it turns out to not be true or an outright to start with - but aggs just bury their head in the sand when the truth comes out. Over the course of a 70year match up - each of those stories gets repeated over and over and over until you think its true of all these years when its been so horrible to come up and visit Tech. so you have it preset in your mind that the next visit to lubbock is going to be so horrendous and the moment the slightest thing happens then there you go jumping to conclusions about how classless and mean spirited Tech is. Im certain from here on out every new class of Aggy (as well as many current alum) is going to be told that we spray painted the buses and spread crap all over them - and the kiddos will believe it. Doesnt matter if it isnt true, just adds to the legacy of Classless Tech. Just like you believe the BS about batteries, cussing out little kids, throwing old woman down the stairs, etc. Its all made up Aggy nonsense that has just been repeated over and over until you all think its true.

Bama fans poisoning trees own that award.

Back after WWII, some aggy corps got chain saws and cut down a bunch of the 100yr live oak trees on the RICE campus.... surprise once again Aggy lambasting something they have done already!!

okay for real - we are way off base of what is supposed to be a somewhat friendly discussion of the college pick-em

Toilet paper, Fine. Paint ! Bad bull !!

umm, so whats your excuse for the time Aggy stole our horse and painted it? or the times you have painted our statue of soapsuds and Will Rogers??

as usual, its okay for Aggy - but if anyone does it to them then better go start banging that classy drum and crying to the media!

oh for petes sake, it turns out to be shoe polish and fish bait! what a bunch of whiny b!tches so much for your claim of handling a little harmless prank. Your AD is a liar, so much for the aggie honor code: An Aggie does not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do

good day and god bless

oh I dont find it hard to believe. I have people just walk out in front of me when going through down time all the time! And they arent listening to ipods. Heck even happened this morning!!

very sad story, at least she was identified before she passed so that her family isnt left wondering what happened to her

Are you now suggesting that Tech fans are such pansies that they would let a visitng team, that just lost, storm their field and tear down one of their goal posts ? Don't think so.

Wow, your aggy logic just blew my mind!!!! I have no idea what you are trying to say Tech won in 2001 in our stadium... or do you think we lost in kyle field, and stormed the field the goal post incident happened at TAMU?!?

anyway Im done. I know the problem with arguing with an idiot is you both wind up looking dumb. Im not gonna reply any further

The year was 2001 and the location was Jones Stadium. The incident is called "GoalpostGate II" by some because of the controversy that surrounds the events of that day. The Texas Tech Red Raiders beat the Texas A&M Aggies and, although we were favored, some idiots in the student section decide to bring down the goalposts.

We (I say "we" because I made it onto the field but was not part of the contigent bringing down the goalposts) decided to march the goalposts out of the stadium, with an intention to lay them at the feet of Will Rogers and Soapsuds. However, members of Lubbock's finest decide to blockade the easiest route out of the stadium, the player tunnels. As if by some sort of telepathy, the entire mob decides that the next easiest route out of the stadium will be to the Northeast, over the fence.

Keep in mind that that 5 minutes have already passed.

Well, one problem. The Agroids were glued to thier seats, stunned as they watched the mob make their way towards them at a rate slower than molasses. Apparently, Aggy wants to practice their Yells because they hadn't done well enough in the game, as evidenced by their loss. Either that, or they ran out of time. The final score had been 12 - 0, so at the rate they were scoring, maybe with another 6 or 8 quarters they could've overtaken the mighty Red Raiders.

Another 3 or 4 minutes passed as the mob marches the goalposts 120 yards to the north. Some of the nastier Agroids decide that they've seen enough of the celebrating and start flipping the mob off and chant "You Suck, You Suck." This only enraged the mob who had endured the Agroids "practicing" a Yell during the playing of the Texas Tech School Song after the game and before the goalposts came tumbling down.

In response, the mob starts chanting "Aggies Suck, Aggies Suck!" A few guys from within the mob decide to climb up into the stands to guide the goalposts over the Aggs since they won't move. One guy, who was leading the right post, walked up 4 rows past Ags without saying a word to instigate what came next.

Apparently, Colonel William McKinney, Governor Rick Perry's Chief of Staff, decided he'd had enough and decided to take action to defend the Aggy turf. It must've looked like the Mexicans climbing over the outer walls of the Alamo Mission because of the way he described the scene afterwards: "It was like I was defending the Alamo."

Well, Kernal McKinney tries to push some hapless chap over the wall back into the crowd of Mexicans, and others in the area viewed this as a provocation and a riot broke out.

The fisticuffs lasted approximately 3 or 4 minutes as two different areas broke into fights.

Afterwards, news media gathered around McKinney as he recounted his tales of heroism in defending the Alamo. McKinney proudly proclaimed that he decided to swing his binoculars in the air, much like an olympian does in the hammer throw, to hurt the "next one that came over that wall." McKinney was bleeding profusely from his right eyebrow; McKinney said he was blind-sided by a Techie and had "the fool knocked out of him." (What I have in quotes are actual things he said.) Tech Athletic Trainers attempted to dress the wound, but he refused attention from them, demanding that A&M Trainers bandage him.

Well, McKinney promises to hurt Tech in Austin where in the next budget meeting; after all, he was Rick Perry's right hand man. The next day, Perry comes out and publicly blasts Texas Tech fans everywhere and is harshest on the school administration.

You know, if you hear Aggies describe the story, it sounds as if everything happened the instant the final gun sounded. Hearing it from them, it sounded as if they were being accosted by 400 college aged guys that had come straight from working out at Gold's Gym.

Well, 2 or 3 days go by and people everywhere are examining the videos from the melee to determine who exactly was at fault. Tech President Schmidley (a former A&M faculty member) promises to be harsh on anyone involved. 6 students are identified and 2 are kicked out of the University.

Another day goes by and a young Black man approaches the media regarding the incidents. He's an Aggie and he was there. He admits to the media that he was the one that "knocked the fool" out of McKinney. When asked why he did it, he said "I did it because the guy was spinning his binoculars around looking for someone to hurt. I did it to keep him from hurting anyone."

Agroids everywhere are appalled by the man's admission. Why in the world would an Aggy punch another Aggy? Well, Ags decide to ostracize him for his admission instead of McKinney, because this obviously makes Aggy look bad. Red Raiders everywhere are left waiting for McKinney to apologize... and we're still waiting on his or Governor Goodhair's apologies for blasting Tech before all the facts were known.

Well, another day goes by and pictures begin to circulate. Amongst them are pictures of the crowd that accosted the Aggies.

Well, guess what? 90% of the crowd happens to be Junior High Kids!!! As I mentioned before, hearing the Ag version makes it sound as if there were hundreds of College guys, but here was proof otherwise! This only added to the comedy that was "GoalpostGate II." One boy in particular, a boy by the name of Vincent Valdez, aged 13, helped lead the charge against the Agroids. His image was plastered everywhere. Here is a picture of a boy leading the charge to pounce on the Ags, wounded by the loss!

He was wearing a "GAP" shirt and was surrounded by other characters, such as "The Pirate," "Tank Top Girl," and "Harry Potter Kid." Hardly a group that appears mean enough to take down the Aggy empire. Anyways, enough talking... It will become quickly evident to you why the Gap Kid has served to ridicule Aggies everywhere and why he has grown to become an internet legend amongst RaiderPower and Hornfans posters.

Okie dokie. obviously facts are lost on you that clearly your athletic director is liar just out to smear Tech. Aggies are supposed to take pride in their code of conduct and not lie, but somehow that just goes out the window when you need it to. Just like many times before when aggy is determined to find some story of how horrible their trip to Lubbock was and yet every time, its just bullchit exaggerations or outright lies.

buses spray painted - LIE

all covered with **** inside and out - LIE

report filed with DPS-LIE

no reports filed with LPD or DPS. No photos to document proof. These are charter buses, plain white, no identification that tied them to A&M. You know the ones with windows 8-10-12ft up in the air? A&M security/police watching them all night and somehow they missed some guys with ladders walking around and writing stuff on all the windows on every bus, that would taken quite a bit of time. The buses are locked, security didnt notice someone trying to break into the bus? Again these are rented buses, how would anyone outside of TAMU personnel even know which buses belonged to A&M?

but Im certain you just dismiss these facts with your own fantasy logic, just as you can dismiss the fact that your fans sat in those seats for a good 30 minutes before the goalposts got there. "tech rammed the goalposts right into the seats-no time to escape!!!" The original claim of the goalpost incident was that Tech was classless because we started a fight and hit McKinney. Then a few days later it turns out it was aggy that hit McKinney. then aggy had to backtrack to find another reason of how classless Tech is....

so keep on with the "Tech had to do it, they are classless!"

typical delusional brainwashed aggy that always has an excuse for their actions while crying everyone else isnt classy. I wouldn't expect anything less. good job

good stuff, may have to get one of these...

Techtards spray painted our team busses and spread dog poop inside them. When I was a student, it was a given that there would be problems, physical altercations, when visiting Tech on game day. Good riddance assholes clowns....

bullchit - where are the pics? where is the police report? truth is it was shoe polish and only one of the three buses had a dog turd in it -surely it didnt come from your mascot which just happens to be a dog?

this is just like the goal post incident a few years ago where you blamed Tech for hitting McKinnely - but it was in fact aggy on aggy violence but you blame Tech for it. Or the time an aggy student broke into the TAMU football facilities - stole some football equipment and vandalized the locker room putting "the eyes of Texas are upon you" and the UT logo to make it appear like it was UT that did it.

Aggy has well established history of doing things to make it appear that someone from another school was responsible so you can go cry to mommy and bang the "classy" drum. How easily you have forgotten that you started the tradition of vandalizing other schools - BEVO ring a bell??!!

oh and for TCEH tards - at least we know what the TX flag looks like!!! Should we start calling you Chilean A&M

LOL

went to the first link and this was listed as a "nearby" home.

MLS number on that link. i think the issue is its in Spring, not the woodlands...

It appears I missed the pick 'em this year. I apologize to whoever will place last this year for not taking on that role myself.

On another note, I know we have a lot of aggies on this board...any of you guys still plan on making the trip to Lubbock this weekend?? I'll make sure to greet you with a firm handshake and a beer, after that I don't know you until after the game.

awesome, guess Im not the only raider on the board!

looks like Im getting better at this pick-em thing. however I expect this weekend to be an epic failure, alot of close matchups.

may go check this out at Coach's...

Im on lots of forums and its usually the same story. I start out lurking and then something comes up that I just have to post about and then its on!

I typically have an unfair advantage.......

did Biff give you the Gray's Sports Almanac back in high school??
