LSU 247 article on Watson from Shea Dixon

Just passing along what I've been hearing, but it sounds like UT really cooled off on Wilson and he basically didn't have an offer by the time he committed to OSU. Herman is big on Texas guys who love Texas (and good kids who graduate) and Wilson didn't really check off those boxes. Look for UT to start looking at some higher character Texas kids in the Brock Fitzhenry mold now that they have moved on from Wilson.

1. What makes you think that we're only getting info from Richardson's side 2. The info they were supposed to keep quiet was that Texas was visiting Demani? Well I guess we shouldn't let A&M know by putting it up on our board, even though they were there too. 3. What makes you think we don't go through the proper channels before we release something? Sometimes we get stuff that the others can't post because we have different sources that they don't and they have different source we don't. Sometimes it depends on who gives it to you and how comfortable they are with sharing it. Then you have to wondering how will this affect everything and make sure it doesn't destroy a recruitment in some way. In this case, we went through multiple channels, knew Texas A&M and Texas would be there, knew that A&M and Texas knew each other would be there, and made sure that this info could be released (even though we really don't have to). Also if Texas A&M is getting scoops from our board, then we need to be paid more and Jimbo shouldn't be making $75 million.

I was wrong and missed on the call. No excuses. Parents wanted him at Texas. He wanted to go to Texas. In the end, Ohio State did a better job recruiting him by persuading him to believe they do a better job developing players. OSU coaches also told him flat out that they think Baldwin is the future of the program and compared him favorably to the Texas Qbs on campus. The Texas staff is playing from behind the eight ball at Lake Travis but they are doing their best to correct that and develop a relationship with Coach Carter and staff. Will Stein definitely is helping mend those relationships. With Coach Stein as his new OC and the possibility of Card committing to Texas, I wouldn't completely close the book on this one. I can tell you the Texas staff is still somewhat hopeful with Wilson and will continue to recruit him hard, as they should. I wouldn't expect a flip but if we win and Hudson commits to Texas, I'm saying we have a chance... As for Wilson as a prospect, he is a polished WR standing 6' and ran a 4.7 at last year's opening. LT had him at a 4.5. His best time in the 100m is 11.39. He isn't the fastest guy. He isn't the biggest guy. But he is fast enough and big enough. He is ready to go right now for the college game. He will step on campus and be the most polished and complete receiver at just about any school but certainly Texas. His best attributes are his route running, strong hands, and his ability to time his jumps to go get the ball. He goes and gets the ball better than any receiver I have seen. I don't think he is a better athlete than any of the receivers Texas currently has or has committed, but he is a better receiver than all of them.

Grow the fuck up dude. The last time you repeatedly tried to offer one of your bizarre internet bet obsessions, I finally relented because you were actively lying in the thread you tried to make a bet over lying on. cue Xhibit joke here. When I showed you were lying actively at the exact same time about something else in the exact same thread, you tried to punt it back to a bet you'd made about a month before that you were also lying on. You reneged and tried to move the goal posts again at that point. I have zero interest in taking some bizarre internet bet with you that you will welch on the terms of anyway. You are an intellectually dishonest and accomplished liar and I will continue to call you so whenever I feel like it. Continue to whine and bitch about it as much as you want and draw up some fantasy bets in your head, I don't really give a shit. I'll let our respective posting histories speak for themselves on who other posters think is telling the truth.

I am, personally, trying to ruin the greeting card industry. For birthdays, valentines, mothers day, etc. instead of buying cards I just to a couple of stores, find a few cards that I like, whip out my phone and take pictures of the cards. Then when said day arrives, I text the photos to my family; I also send my adult kids pictures of birthday cakes, and tWife gets pictures of roses, candies and other things that cost too much and either spoil or we don't really need. FWIW - I am waiting to be kicked out of a store for my shenanigans, but fuck $4-$6-$9 for some stupid card.

When the nominees are qualified center-left candidates, infinite obstruction is perfectly justified. When the nominees are horribly unqualified far-right partisan dipshits, even the scantest review is a horrible affront to democracy. Moose out front should've told you.

"The citizens of Nigeria are called Nigerians, Mr. President."

i'm surprised at this feigned outrage. this is exactly what the comedian wanted. the whole thing was a demonstration of how we have as a society, accepted crass behavior in our leaders and those that represent those leaders. some of the media outlets have specifically focused on her criticism of SHS. fuck that shit. that bitch gets up and lies every single day. not obfuscate. not mislead or refuse to answer. say what you want about spicer, but SHS is beyond the pale. the smokey eye comment was fucking funny. maybe it's lies. savage, and yet it really brings home the point in a succinct way. what she did was shine a light on the cockroaches, in the press, in the leadership structure, and she did so unapologetically. that's the way it SHOULD be. if that monologue left you uncomfortable, then i think a good question to ask is "why?" why do you give a fuck that some comedian was disrespectful to the denizens of the swamp, and the press that enables their behavior?

You know who didn’t use curse words in his act? Bill Cosby

So here’s the problem with your argument. You start talking about identity politics as if it’s out to get you and that raises my red flags. It tells me you aren’t interested in Tropheus getting any kind of treatment to make her whole. You want her to be broken so you can say you stood up to those identity politics bullies. I want Tropheus to live her life to the fullest, free from stigma. I want all of her trans brothers and sisters to be treated the same way. I want all of her gay brothers and sisters to be treated the same way. I want all of her straight brothers and sisters to be treated the same way. If that means I’m playing identity politics then I’m playing identity politics. But medical care should not be a political issue. If you have figured out how to make it political, you are doing it wrong.

If we win 10 games, I think there's a good chance we'll get some of the leftover all-district players that Jimbo passes on.

It takes a special kind of a) stupid or b)blatant disregard for the rules or c)both to miss that many drug tests at Texas. After you miss the first 2(?) in house tests, they tell you the exact day that they will be testing you. All you have to do is piss clean. He couldn't even manage that. I'm pro marijuana legalization, but lets have an adult perspective on this. If you have an opportunity to make millions of dollars and all you have to do is avoid one substance for ~10 years (if you're lucky), you do what is asked of you. "Hey, Holton, you have an opportunity to play at a D1 school with an insane pro pedigree at your position. All you have to do is not fail five drug tests over 4 years and you're guaranteed to make a couple of million dollars." And an even more honest take is that over half of the team smokes pot. A large number of them pop once or twice, especially in the spring or after summer. We don't hear about it because it is dealt with internally. Why is Holton getting singled out? Because he is the only one making it a problem. From what I heard about Strong's take on a college lifestyle, it was "if you can do it without me hearing about it, great. But the moment that shit lands on my desk, I'm going to make you pay hard." Holton ran up a tab with Strong, which put a bullseye on his back with Herman. If Holton pissed hot after Herman told him not to, with Herman trying to establish his presence in the locker room, I don't see how Herman could possibly look the other way. Everybody was playing by the same rules and only Holton was dumb enough to be the habitual line crosser. And that's the key issue, not the weed itself. Yes, the weed rules in and of themselves are stupid and arbitrary, but they are still the rules. Not following them hurt himself and the team.

Nobody runs in a perfectly straight line. Hell, I’ve seen video of VY refusing to even attempt walking a straight line.

You think we're all black?

Paul Prudhomme's crawfish enchiladas are badass. I like doing these with my leftover tails. https://www.chefpaul.com/site.php?pageID=300&view=425

And Bud Selig.

Fuck the Yankees.

My wife was walking our five year old across the street and ran across a dead snake in the driveway. She told me that she had found a snake and I needed to come look. I grab a small shovel and head out to the end of the drive. When I got out there I found a baby snake that was obviously dead. She walks up and I ask her what she wanted me to do. She replied “Kill it.” I said “It’s already dead. “ She looked me dead in the eye and said “Kill it some more.”

Hey don't knock it. That strategy will get them to the Texas Bowl.

I worked in your mom last night.

No I don’t remember. Texas integrated 30 years before I matriculated. Texas is now run by left wing radicals. Not democrats or liberals. But radicals. I was concerned when Fenves and Company gave credence to that bullshit sexual assault survey last year. Now this. I am not in their favored demographic. Unless they are calling for donations. Fuck them. Not another penny until some sanity returns. And I’m not the only one who feels that way.

Only aggy cares about online poles.

Rick Perry could tell him about how he has a ranch named in his honor.

"So I know the last guy you took from us was one of the biggest busts in your program's history, but not only are we are going to take no responsibility for that, we're going to actively hold it against you when you aren't eager to come back to the well." Fucking high school coaches, man.

JFC, this isn't hard. This isn't about the legality of weed. This isn't about whether Ricky did it. He can't stop smoking weed long enough to pass a piss test he knows is coming. He's a fucking addict and will get suspended. That's why he's a UFA. If he can manage to get clean, he might get paid on his second deal, but right now, he's a rookie minimum, get yo shit together prospect. He needs to be in NA meetings on the reg and living that monk life. If he wasn't a physical 6'2" lockdown corner who ran a sub 4.5, he wouldn't even have gotten that. This is probably his last chance at football.

Scroll all the way to the bottom, and you'll see the theme drop down link next to contact us. It does weird deals with formatted text, but it's worth it for being so easy on the eyes.

Seeing this sticker on a meat item at HEB causes my heartbeat to quicken and my soul to soar....

Kudos to the comedian for telling it like it is, but she didn't have to be so fucking crude about it.

"Ellis eliminates Texas."

They’re going to need an undefeated season or else they will not sign a single recruit.

Unless Meyer has a change of heart.

As for Trump not going...it's brilliant. For all the shit talked about Trump...the bastard knows how to manipulate things to his benefit. The MSM came away from last night making themselves look like a-holes to everyone who's not a leftist. Trump wasn't there...which showed everyone that the MSM isn't important enough to justify his time. He's doesn't care about them...he'd rather be in the Heartland with REAL Americans. Fucking brilliant. I'll admit...he wasn't my guy. Everyone including myself underestimated him...Bill Clinton asked him to run. 🤣 Hillary & the DNC thought he was the most beatable of the GOP field (of 17!). They built him up with $2 billion in free air time...when they weren't cheating to get Grandma Kankles the Dem nomination. 🤣 You honestly think the people that helped Grammy Kankles with debate questions didn't help throw Trump free air time to assure him the nomination? That's adorable. The MSM & the Clintons (aka the DNC) made Trump the GOP nominee...and President. The vile hate from the left is what is going to bite them in the ass going forward. You may have gotten a chuckle out of Wolf last night...but she shit all over the left. What the rest of America heard was...they really hate us. They hate everything about us and there is nothing they wouldn't do to destroy everyone that doesn't walk the line. (Which I think is genuinely true about the left...look at how they turned on Kanye & Shania when they stepped out of line. There is their way...and nothing else...just like leftists / statists throughout history). Trump was out doing work...and the left was back at the WH digging the leftist grave deeper. 🤣

Makes me sad seeing what has happened to our school. It's been completely highjacked by radicals.

College Station police provided this photograph of the snake

Has shaggy Surly become too PC for me to express my true feelings about this and say that it is bullshit? Especially this quote Basic healthcare things? GMAFB

Left lefter leftest

You can talk about him being from Ohio all you want, but if our offense didn't suck ass, he'd be a Longhorn. The defense has tangible evidence of improvement under Orlando, but the offense is still selling hope, and you can only sell hope for so long.

Well looks like we'll need a UT version of this mid-May

Yeah, I'm not actually pissed at L94. He's a generally good poster who has a blind spot when it comes to Lake Travis and Texas, and I was poking a bit of fun. He did provide useful information about Wilson other than where he was committing, and I appreciate that. Also, when you make bold assertion of fact and the opposite comes true, you're going to get called out. If Herman whips something good up this fall and manages to flip Wilson, I will happily eat crow.

Donald is a great way to explain what an aggy is to non-Texans. He’s obsessed with a bigger and wiser brother (Obama), whose shadow he lives in, and he cherry picks stats and victories in order to claim he’s better than he actually is.

Well, that's different from the anaconda reported around Jimbo's ex.

Was just about to chime in and say that - American Professional = American Standard. My '98 American Standard is 20 years old now (damn) and is every bit as incredible of a guitar as it ever was. Everyone should have one. (i figure we're on a new site, we can just post images of guitars we've posted before ) And yeah, that bass.... 2007ish reissue Fender 51 P-Bass (MIM), and I just looked it up and they've been discontinued for a while now?? That's a great bass. Listen to a Police album if you're curious how it sounds. Not always practical since it hums like a mf when pointed towards a neon sign, but it's a great sound.

Some Tom Holmes Cadillac pron. I posted about this on Shaggy, but why not post again. So Bo Diddley had three guitars (The Trilogy) that were totally unique to him: The Gretsch "rectangle" or "cigar box," which became the G6138. The Gretsch Jupiter Thunderbird, one of which he gave to Billy Gibbons. That became the Gretsch Billy Bo Jupiter Thunderbird G6199. And the most elusive of them all: the "Cadillac." According to the best info available, these were all made by a former Gretsch builder but weren't official Gretsch instruments. Gretsch parts were on hand, so that's why the necks and hardware are all Gretsch. Eventually Gretsch started making first two models for Diddley and only recently for the masses. The only other person to build more Cadillacs was Tom Holmes, who I actually had a 30 minute conversation with one Sunday morning. He built some prototypes, one for Bo, one for Billy, and some others from about 1979-1981. For a little while Tom licensed a Japanese company to make them but the partnership didn't last long. If you want a new one these days, you have to use Ed Roman's outfit in Las Vegas. I asked Tom what he'd charge for a build but he's so busy making pickups, he doesn't build guitars at all much these days. Without further ado... The first Billy Gibbons Cadillac Another one of Tom's prototypes (THC stands for Tom Holmes Custom I think) 1979 THC Cadillac Flash I Cadillac Flash II 1982 THC Billy Gibbon's THC Bo's THC Cadillac MIJ "Ghostbuilt" Tom Holmes Cadillacs See the Cadillac in action here:

I thought Michelle Wolf was brilliant, uncomfortable at times, but brilliant. Trump is a chicken shit gutless scaredy cat. He can give it, and boy he gives it like a schoolyard bully, but he can’t take it when someone gives it back to him. Basically he was hiding behind Conway and Sanders. And Michelle Wolf was absolutely right, the press created Trump after practically making people watch his every move 24/7 during the campaign. Trump should be kissing their ass for giving him the Presidency, them and Russia. And Michelle achieved what she wanted - there are a lot of people talking about her today.

OK, I'll play. This is an abortion at 24 weeks. If you're going to advocate FOR it, you should acknowledge what you're advocating FOR. Would you call that a zygote? I'm gonna call that a baby and apparently I'm going to be the only one who will. Planned Parenthood does some 350,000 of those a year. Some earlier many later. That's almost a thousand every day. And they have done exactly 0 (Zero) mammograms in their entire history. Not one. Tell me again about they are a vital resource for women's healthcare. And of course, PP is NOT a non-profit. They make millions of dollars a year ripping babies from the wombs of mostly minority women. (In fact, that was always the plan, but I don't want you to believe me - I want you to go look it up and prove me wrong!) I get that boys and girls want to have unprotected sex. That's Nature's way of making sure we make more babies. Simple Biology 101. (Why do you hate science?) For what's it's worth, I'll confess. While at UT, I paid for two abortions, one certainly mine, the other maybe, maybe not. My default position was that it was a woman's decision to make. I said that we should have a vote that ONLY women could participate in, and that whatever they decided should be the rule. Then my ex-wife got pregnant. We were both in our early thirties and a doctor had assured us it would be nigh impossible. We discussed abortion and ultimately decided against it. After my son was born, my opinion changed. He's the most important thing in the world to me and I still shudder when I think about how close we came to tossing him in the trash. So I don't like murder in general. I don't like auto theft. So I won't commit a murder or steal a car? Should that my sole input on the matter? How about this? "If you don't want to have a baby, don't let some random schmuck nut inside you." That's way easier, cheaper and less bloody than having an abortion. Hey, you asked. Let me ask YOU one more question. Do you really know anyone who seriously wishes they HAD aborted their healthy child? Anyone at all?
