    Ah, yes. Was confusing BG with BHP.
  2. KinkaidAlum
    Did BHP spin off a division? I know a few folks that now work downtown in the new tower on Main that looks like a lighter.

    The downtown BB's location took over the old Longhorn I believe. That said, it is really only open during business hours and serves as the catering hub for BB's growing catering business. Speaking of BB's, there will be a new BB's opening soon off of Richmond near Greenway Plaza (near the Velvet Melvin). That Cabo's building is too nice of a location to stay shuttered for too long. Would love to see the original Ninfa's open a second location there... margaritas, green sauce, and a deck with a view would certainly draw me downtown.

    I can see this development from my balcony. Lot is totally cleared and it looks like they've excavated to clear for at least 1 floor underground. Lots of heavy equipment on the site now with work crews doing their thing right now. Still nothing to see yet but it should start to rise soon.

    Why would a 10 unit building with alarm systems, no hallways, and coded access elevators need a guard hut or concierge? He is conveying his message poorly, but I get that a development like this doesn't need the same amount of uber protection like The Huntingdon requires (multiple units, grand lobby, outdoor pool, multi-level garage, private grounds, building art and furniture, etc...)

    Central Park? This will be more like Boston's Emerald Necklace... Just kidding. I dig Guy and all that he's done for Houston. He was a central park, I mean part, of getting Discovery Green rolling. This will be a + for Houston.

    Not a fan of Randall Davis but this is a prime location to try and see if a small project like this can work. Easy access to downtown, TMC, Galleria, and Greenway. Neighbors include West Ave, Whole Foods, Carrabba's new village, Cafe Express, Kuhl Linscomb, Ruggles Green, Hendrick's Pub, lil Pappasito's, etc...

    I agree, Highway. LSU deserves the berth for sure. Scheduling Oregon AND West Virginia is huge. Scheduling both outside of Baton Rouge is almost unheard of. I simply don't get the love for Bama. Their non conference consisted of Penn State, Kent State, North Texas, and Georgia Southern. The Penn State win is the only one that makes any sort of statement, and quite frankly, everyone knows the Big Ten usually sucks. Bama also got to HOST both Arkansas and LSU. They didn't play a single team from the SEC East that finished above .500 (namely, Georgia or South Carolina). Their road games in conference play were against Ole Miss (a team that lost at home to Louisiana Tech 27-7), Mississippi State (a .500 team solely due to playing 4 scrubs in out of conference play), Florida (Gators just got SHUTOUT at home by a mediocre Florida State team that finished behind Wake Forest in the ACC), and Auburn (a team with absolutely no defense).

    LSU vs. Alabama part two will be a yawner. Here's the list of teams that Bama beat that finished above .500 overall; Penn State, Arkansas, and Auburn. Here's the list of teams with 2 or fewer losses that have equal to or more wins than that against winning teams; Wisconsin, Michigan State, Michigan, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Virginia Tech, Oregon, Stanford, USC, Boise State, TCU, Houston, and Southern Miss. Yes, the SEC West is stacked at the top. However, the rest of the SEC was down this year. Heck, the champ from the EAST (Georgia) got donkey stomped by Boise State in Atlanta while all of Kentucky, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, Miss State, and Florida failed to win 6 games against FBS teams.

    ESPN censored like there was no tmrw. They didn't allow simple signs like "OCCUPY THE BCS" to be held in view of the camera. Some of the best signs that didn't pass the ESPN Game Day censors in my mind were; What Do Liberace Andy Warhol and SMU Have in Common? They all died in 1987 Rick Perry's Top 3 Reasons Coogs Win 1) Offense 2) Defense 3) Uhhhh, the EPA? Hey Craig James Let Your Son Out of the Closet As soon as I realized the fun was going to be severly limited, I left and went back to the tailgate village, which was packed out.

    Third Ward > College Station Frenchy's Chicken > Dixie Chicken Cougars > Aggies Posting about need for "extra bodyguards" and bus gets "tagged or jacked" and then crying about a reply post being racist is about as weak as the Aggies in any given second half. By the way, you may have gone to UH, but you are clearly not a Cougar.
  12. KinkaidAlum
    LOL at the 5-5 Aggies. FEAR THE GHETTO, cracker.
  13. KinkaidAlum
    UH up to #10. College Game Day coming to campus this week. Go Coogs! Have made every game in person this year outside of UAB and have enjoyed this ride!

    BINGO. Such a simple solution and it would benefit ALL Americans. However, the Right will trash the movement as nothing more than a bunch of lazy anarchists (despite the overwhelming evidence that it is NOT) and the Left will come in and try and take it over ala the Right with the Tea Party. As long as billions are spent on the political game, nothing will change.

    I support OWS. I am employed. I have absolutely no debt. I am closer now to 50 than 20. I am not a hippy but I do enjoy letting my beard grow over the weekend. The main demand of the OWS group has been posted here many times but for whatever reason the folks on the right don't want to see it. GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS. Stop letting corporations run this country. Stop voting for people who appoint folks to the Supreme Court who turn around and give corporations "special rights" above and beyond the people. This has nothing to do with being anti-capitalist, socialist, communist, or whatever else you want to brand the movement no matter how many times you hear it on Fox News.

    Saw this in person. She's going to be a beauty. Dallas has a ton of stuff under construction in the inner ring of downtown/uptown/arts district.

    Rice sucks but the Big Ten swallows. Still laughing that little ole Rice was able to beat Purdue! Laughing even harder at the Aggies. Really? Another collapse? Is there a team out there that does less with more than ATM?
  18. KinkaidAlum
    Thank God Notre Dame is officially out of the conversation. Was so tired of hearing about the BCS bowl chanced of a 4-2 team. Coogs won big. Another sellout crowd and an excellent tailgating scene. The Rice game is this Thursday. Sadly, just 1 home game left after that until possibly the CUSA Championship game.
  19. KinkaidAlum
    You need to post more. I had almost forgotten that I had a crush on you.
  20. KinkaidAlum
    Am I the only one who caught what you did here? Spot on by the way. Every day we become less of a nation and more of a market.
  21. KinkaidAlum
    Maybe you shouldn't have changed the channel so quickly? Here are the overall winning percentages for the 6 BCS-AQ Leagues, Notre Dame, and the non AQs that have reached the BCS Bowls since their inception. .714 SEC and NON-AQ teams (yep, the Davids) .625 PAC TEN .478 BIG TEN .462 BIG EAST .444 BIG XII .154 ACC .000 NOTRE DAME (0-3 in BCS bowls)

    If the Ritz Carlton hotel and condo tower and the Hanover luxury apartment tower are both gone then essentially all that is being done is replacing an older strip mall and mall with a fancier new one.

    Go Coogs! #19 in the first BCS rankings. Homecoming this weekend.
  24. KinkaidAlum
    Go Coogs, top 25! Expect news on the new stadium in a month...
  25. KinkaidAlum
    Total agreement. The Big Ten is awful. The bottom of that league is truly pathetic. Minnesota loses to North Dakota State (again), and Rice beats Purdue, and North Texas defeats Indiana, and Iowa State knocks off Iowa, and Army upends Northwestern, and Ball State punks Indiana,,,
