What’s good Surly Horns? Wanted to share this custom cleat project with Xavier Worthy from last season. Please move to main football board, would only let me post to this one? My name is Michael Anderson and an artist and the owner of Boot Up Customs. I’m from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and currently live in Austin, Texas. For full transparency, I am an LSU alum and die hard Tiger fan. However, since moving to Austin and working with several players on the football team, I’ll be rooting for Texas whenever they’re not playing my Tigers. Here’s a link to an Instagram reel showing the art process and delivery with X: I have several projects the team this season and really excited to continue my relationships at UT. Big stuff coming soon. You can find me on IG @get.like.mike and @bootupcustoms. Boot Up!

I have nothing unique or specific to say about Colorado State. I have no opinion on them. All I know about is what I read in @Scipio’s preview- thinking Texas football Linked here: https://sites.google.com/view/the-2023-burnt-orange-bible/home if you haven’t bought it already do so- it’s awesome and he previews every opponent in addition to awesome writing on Texas football. I do have lots of opinions on this year’s this team and this program. 1) Sark is the man. I said it before almost everyone else did- when he nailed the off-season after 5-7. I strongly suspected he would be good. When we started year 2 by playing the Alabama dynasty with a Heisman trophy winner like a peer I knew he would be good. After year 3 there’s absolutely no doubt in my mind. The only question imo is whether he maximizes his decade run like Royal with multiple championships, or if he’s snake bit like Mack brown and doesn’t fill the trophy case like be should. Because we are going to rip off double digit wins, be a playoff perennial team and get a metric shit ton of kids drafted between here and there. 2) This team is going to be awesome. I know we had 11 guys drafted last year. I set the over under at 9.5 and took the over and @Bevoand a couple other people mocked me. There was no mocking come draft day. This team is more talented at more important places. I’d setting the O/U at 13.5 and taking the over. It’s possible that we have every single starting offensive player drafted off this team. I wouldn’t expect it but I’d actually suspect 7 or 8. And, the defense just got done outplaying the offense in camp. Think about that. 3) the program is overall in great shape and the SEC move is going to be fun. I love that we have games with Michigan and Ohio State on the schedule. I’m going to be pissed off if these slack jawed yokels we share a conference with continue to be pussies and insist on an 8 game schedule. A 9 game SEC schedule, mixed with a blue blood, a decent regional team and a pay for play patsy is absolute football nirvana. Like- forget the good old days we’ve never had it this good as college football fans. Texas won’t be the game that every program circles for jihad, but we will be among more peers (such that we have any) and I expect us to be running shit in short order. Just like we have everywhere else we’ve been. But hopefully with more football titles than in the big 12. I am so happy for game week to be back. Thoughts about the season, state of the program, Colorado State or whatever else you want to talk about leading up to week 1 go here.

Wow

Blake Gideon is a hell of a recruiter. I believe that's six top-100 DBs in three years: Derrick Williams, Wardell Mack, Jordan Johnson Rubell, Jonah Williams, Xavier Filsame, and Jelani McDonald.

Fuck em. They were happy to ride with the outlaw as long as they thought it would win them elections. Fuck them all to hell. Republicans deserve a generation of pain, suffering, and complete irrelevance. They were willing to kill our republic for a win or two. No forgiveness. Ever.

How can you kill smaller, slower drones? easy! You just don’t lead em so much!

Gay

She’s not being framed as a change candidate but someone who can move us past the maga era. That’s was said expressly in the clips he showed! I swear I just can’t take this dishonest shit anymore from all sides. She’s not saying change from Obama or Biden’s policies you stupid fuck!

evangelicals have no soul

LOL

The Russians are very upset that Telegram might be taken down. Seems their military still hasn't developed effective encrypted comms, and aside from facilitating human trafficking, arms dealing, drug dealing etc, Telegram was how much of their military and overseas spies phoned home. Big Big, mad.

a muck

Fucking Walz 😡

Well she's a change from not having two 70+ year olds running the country.

Pretty cool, I've not seen this kind of footage before

Thank god for this. It has pissed me off to no end that for years the republicans tried to claim "patriotism" and pride in the flag for themselves.

Out on the road today, I saw a Biden/Harris sticker on a Cadillac.

Latchkey kids were a cultural phenomenon that resulted from multiple factors like divorce and more women entering the workplace. For Gen-X kids, this was a consequence of society changing. If you were a latchkey kid as a Millennial it just meant your parents didn't love you.

Both. Sides.

Should be pretty obvious that Snowden was a recruited Russian asset.

Friendly crowd here 😂

Just my opinion, but I think people get way too granular on this shit. Most of these OL are need of major body reshaping. Cam Williams and Nick Brooks are examples. They both needed to lose at least 20-30 pounds of baby fat and add 10 pounds of muscle. Can Williams was 380 as a prospect. This year he is listed at 335. I will bet he moves a lot better this season, compared his HS senior tape. Outside of reshaping their bodies, you don’t need an NFL LT to be successful at LT in college. Connor Williams was a stud at LT for Texas and at no point did the NFL GMs ever consider him a tackle. Lot of these “he is a RT” comments are about their ultimate upside in the NFL, not college

Brauny triggered by the fat shaming…cuz fat
