I'm just getting through and finishing my drinking phase. To be honest, I kind of wish I never touched alcohol as I'm either stone cold sober, or a full-fledged alcoholic with no control over my drinking, no middle ground or moderation.
Are you through your 12 wives phase?

WTF is an "authentic texas kolache"?

I'm not even Czech but on behalf of all the gd Bohemies around CR, I am triggered!

JK!

Cedar Rapids was heavily settled by Czechs, home to the Natl Cz & Slovak Museum. So kolaches are huge here. St Ludmillas has a kolach festival every year, its their annual parish shindig, and they arent even the "Czechist" church in town (St Wenceslaus).

Altho your "texas" kolaches place definitely has a Czech name in Hruska...

Anyway, welcome to the Big12, hoping to get out there to a game, stadium looks beautiful!

A Texas kolache is basically pig in a blanket.

Weirdness does not do it justice. Unless you’ve witnessed it or had some interactions with A&M fans, many people really don’t realize how completely off their rocker they are.

aTm fans represent a lot of things I don't like about the state of Texas. And I love the state of Texas. ******* weirdos.

Ha! You get out of breath in Denver going up two fights of stairs.
I get out of breath going up two flights of stairs in western WA at an elevation of 300ft. Three hundred feet, not missing a zero. But I haven’t been doing FBS football conditioning either. I've hiked leisurely around the Cascades at 4500ft with no problems and I am FAR from in shape.

But I should have clarified that 8000ft is usually where altitude sickness becomes a problem.

Brother and I went to that Kansas game since neither wife was having any of it. I was fine but brother just couldn't keep his feet warm. As you can see from KC's pic the concrete was totally covered with ice and snow. We stuck it out and watched ISU pummel a Jayhawk team that wanted to be just about anywhere but Jack Trice Stadium that night.

Pikes Peak is the only place I have ever had to deal with it, at 14K+ feet. Just walking around, not even exerting myself, I got dizzy & nauseous. Machu Picchu was half as tall, and we were hiking around it and climbed those ridiculously uneven "Inca Stairs" all the way up to the top viewing point, and other than being a little winded and achy from the stairs & the heat, no issues. I was in my 60s for both.
From personal experience, altitude sickness is no joke! :D

Remember the KU peeps accused us of "icing the field" because they were sliding so much? It was wind-polished snow on real turf. What did they expect? Our guys were sliding too!

Going to the game, not enjoying the late start
Well, at least you can enjoy the tailgate scene with BYU fans and share ice cold beers with them.....

I mean at least you can can enjoy the tailgate scene without beer....

I mean at least you'll be able to enjoy the scenic views during the game....

Sorry... you're just screwed
