And, it’s Coogs.
My late father got his second bachelor’s degree in journalism from UH in the mid ‘60s, and was always proud of that even though he was an incredibly proud, ardent, loyal and vociferous University of Texas at Austin alumnus who bled Burnt Orange.
I’ve always had a soft spot for the Coogs and UH.
Iowa State game: booth asks “why is it spelled Cougars and also spelled Coogs?”
Bilas says “there’s some things we just don’t need to explain”
How is a rainbow made? How does a posi-trac rear end on a Plymouth work? Nobody knows. It just does.
Wait a minute.
Something on a Plymouth works?
Anyone who’s ever been stuck in the mud in Alabama knows how it works.
My kids inherited a couple of late sixty’s Plymouth Fury’s from their granddad. They are good looking cars.
Speaking of those cars, if you know of someone interested in buying some classic cars that are in good shape but not running. Let me know. Here are the cars that my family has that we would be interested in selling:
1968 Plymouth Fury
1965 Plymouth Fury
(one is a sport and one is Fury III, I can’t remember which is which)
1969 Baracuda Convertable
1968 Chrysler New Yorker (Pretty rough condition - only one not kept in a building)
1966 Mercedes 180 SL covertable with pagoda top.
Those are just the ones my wife and kids were given. There are others that belong to the 3 other grand kids and her brother. As far as I know, there aren’t many that people want hold on to.
Could you elaborate on the “good shape but not running” part? I could possibly be interested in one, particularly a convertible, but it’s a little unclear as to what would be required to get them running.
All of them were in running condition prior to my father- in - law getting cancer about 6 years ago, except the mercedes. As he weakened, he didn’t have the energy to keep them up. So none of them have been started to my knowledge in a couple of years. None of us have the his machanical inclination - so it is hard to assess the condition.
He was working on the mercedes and reached a point where he was stumped. So it is the engine that will likely need the most work. I can get more details from my nephew about the issue that stumped my FIL if you would like.
All of these cars (except the new yorker) were kept in metal buildings he had built on his property. He loved his cars. The first they he did when he got the diagnosis was write down which grandchild got which car.
Thanks. That was what I was wondering…do they need a tuneup and some minor work, or are they missing and engine and transmission. You’d be surprised at the people who advertise “excellent condition!” (and in small print: "only needs a new motor and tranny…and brakes…and electrical…and a paint job…).
I will give it some thought, as I’ve been looking for both a 60s-era car (because they are generally simpler and easier to work on than more recent models) and possibly a project. I’m not a super mechanic or anything, but I enjoy working on cars and having something to occupy my time.
As far as I know tuneup and minor work. The Mercedes will need more engine work - possibly even up to rebuilt/replacement.
The 1969 Barracuda was a nice car. I actually prefer the lines of the hardtop to those of the convertible.
ABC/ESPN loses the feed in the Auburn/Kentucky game - what a technical screw up. What a screw up organization.
Go Kansas?
Auburn wins in Lexington for the first time since 1988. They also claim at least a share of the SEC championship.
Broome only scored 9 and had just 6 rebounds. Three Auburn guard scored 21 points or more lead by Miles Kelly’s 30. Kelly had 9 three pointers.
Tech beats Kansas
I know they’ll get in the Tourney, but Kansas has been a massive disappointment for a preseason #1 team
This has been Self’s worst season ever. Alarmingly so. Not one player on Kansas is better now than they were before this season started. The Athletic recently released the top 100 NBA draft prospects. Not one player from Kansas made the list. Dillon Mitchell didn’t make the list either, I remember when he was considered a potential lottery pick but he’s essentially the same player he was when he was a freshman at UT.
I hope Mitchell is smart enough to stay in school (wherever) for 1 more year
Mitchell is a tremendous athlete but is not a good basketball player.
You’ve got a frontline of Dickinson, KJ Adams, and, and Mitchell…
are KU’s guards just really that bad?
I haven’t payed that much attention to them, to be honest
Big Monday has Kansas taking on Houston inside the Fertitta Center. Tip off at 8:08
