OT: Nothing but CRAP

[BuffaloChip]

Speaking about crap I am hearing they are going to built a Hyatt Regency Hotel on the campus of Tarleton by some friends who were Tarleton grads. I didn't know a private company could build a business inside a University? Is this the same as all of those food chains in University cafeterias?

WT, for example, has 3 national brand hotels and a restaurant on property owned by the university. I believe they are built on long term ground leases. It is a good use of university owned land. Land that was suitable for commercial development and not needed for future university use.

I haven't heard that. I don't know how that would work with a hotel!!

No that would be different than food chains.

What do they do, like a 100 year lease? Onexwpuld assume WT gets a percentage and not simply a land lease payment.

I don't know the terms of the deals. If I run into someone that may know (and I can remember to ask-Ha!), I'll ask.

A little worthwhile crap

El Bouchayby Ranks No. 1 in the World, Earns USTFCCCA National Athlete of the Week

Story Links

NEW ORLEANS – For the second week in a row, Angelo State track & field's Oussama El Bouchayby has been named the USTFCCCA National Athlete of the Week after his performance at the Texas Relays.

El Bouchayby, a freshman kinesiology major from Marrakesh, Morocco, won the 800-meter invitational at the Texas Relays with a time of 1:45.31 which set a new meet record and ranks No. 1 overall in the world. He is now second all-time on the NCAA Division II list and is the first Division II athlete to earn back-to-back honors this year.

So if someone posts porn, that is cool?...

It is silly to me that mostly WT posters start other sports threads in the Football forum. Poor form in my opinion.

Here is my OT post...which is, essentially, crap...but caught my interest. UNA is playing at Tarleton St and ACU this Fall. Sadly, I will be out of the state during both games...I would have loved to attend one of them.

Where are some nice areas to live in San Angelo?

West Texas A&M Buff Track and Field jumped up to No. 3 in the nation in the US Track and Field/Cross Country Coaches Association rankings.

The Buffs were ranked 15^th in the nation in the first week polls before making an advance to the No. 3 spot. WT competed this past weekend at the, invite only, Texas Relays. There were 13 Buffs that competed for the maroon and white against some of the best in the nation across all divisions.

The men's 4x100 relay team ran a 38.92, placed fifth in at the Texas Relays and became the second fast relay team in division II history. The Buffs, Joseph Manu, Jerry Jakpa, Jalen Purcell and Isaac Botsio, broke a record that had been in good standing since 2013. Other notable performances came from Joseph Manu running a 10.14 in the 100m, Hamdi Ali placing 8^th in the high jump (2.10m), Butare Rugenerwa ran in the 800m and placed third all-time in the WT record books and Jeremiah Lauzon ran in the 200m, the only division II athlete in the race, and came away with tenth place (20.72).

Yup, it's crap! 😉

Where are some nice areas to live in San Angelo?

The Bluffs, Bonham, Lakeview, College Hills. Those are considered the safest.

But, I am sure AngeloFan can guide you.

When are you moving?

So whose piss went further??

A #3 in Coaches Association Ranking or a World Record setter? 🙄

I give a C- on the attempted "One-Upper". Nice try though! 😂

ASUPops, thanks for the response. I'll be moving first week of May.

If you have kids in school Wall is a great area if you do not mind rural living. From most of the Wall ISD Walmart Super Center is a 10-15 minute drive.

More worthless news crap came across the wire.

Never thought much of Kingsbury as a HC. QB coach may be his gig.

Other crap I'm hearing is that Arizona and former Big 12 Colorado are going to join and rejoin Big 12 in the next few months.
