It should be less than 25 minutes because I live off of University Drive and McColl. I can actually get to Mission in like 10 minutes. That why I like where I live.

You can go 70 all the way!!  But most go 80mph!!! ;D ;D ;D Expressway 83!?! And here I thought we would be needing 4WD. We hypermile. For every 5 mph you *don't* go over 60, you save 20 cents a gallon. So going 60 instead of 70 saves you 40 cents a gallon. Going 60 instead of 80 saves 80 cents. That ain't bad. Over hours you run into some bucks. |

Hang that in your locker room.  I think FB will be happy to go home with a W. Seriously, Coach Andrus doesn't embarrass people. He's a true class act. FB's starting RB's never get the stats they might because they spend many a second half on the bench. Now when it comes to Ray in week 2 |

Took a Knee at the 2yd line in Bi district!! I worry we have no offense to counter your awesome attack!!! |

I'll tell you the truth.
FB does have it working on all cylinders this year.
We thought the defense looked small but they're tough and quick.
The team expects great things of themselves.
It's loaded to the gills with senior leadership.

44+ Srs. against our inexperienced Jrs. It could get ugly. We'll put up a fight though!!
Didn't see much from our offense. Even the snaps were going high to the qb!! I'm scared!!

Yes, so we'll see you there at the Meet/Greet!!! Even if I have to cough up the freaking 80 cents a kilometer or whatever it is, and push the not so mean green got no spleen mobile to the RGV myself.  Look, if you want I will come by with my race car tow rope and hook you up to my V frigin 8, by God Ford F150 and drag you down there at 80MPH and you won't burn one drop of ethenol or used KFC cooking grease or whatever you're putting in there lately. ;D And it's 77 south to Rivera. Right at the only light there just before the DQ. That takes you over to Falfurrias and 281 and is the shortest and fastest way from 77 to 281. Left, back south, on 281 to the expressway (83) interchange in the RGV. Right (east) on 83 to Mission. ;D |

Good plan with the info and maybe cell number. I used to make the drive to various points in the RGV in previous jobs. One of them almost daily which got to be a bit much. heck I even know the shortcut road over to Rio Grande City / Roma. And Oh by the way, incase you are ever asked, the hotest place on planet earth is the customs import lot for 18 wheelers in Laredo in August. |

isn't 186 a shorter route between 281 and 77....... That's the way I go, well at least from Edinburg. Also when I go to Corpus I go into Falfurrias and then go east on 285- that is where the Burger King is. From there it takes you to 77. The only bad thing is that much of the way it is only two lanes. You could also go on 281 and then go east on 141 to Kingsville, but then again that road is 2 lanes much of the way. |

But I definately remember its good road and at least was 70 all the way when I was doing it regular last. |
