  1. I'll put this piece from Bobby here since there are people who don't read the main board.... Bobby Burton I’m a Cam Williams fan. Daniel Jeremiah, ESPN NFL draft analyst, talked about Williams yesterday. It’s nice, yet unsurprising, that Williams is starting to turn heads. We talked about that possibility a lot heading into the season. Despite several false start penalties early this year, Williams has otherwise been dominant. But what I want to share this morning about Williams is a story I don’t think I’ve ever told publicly. I was not there for this, but a good friend of mine was. So here goes… As a member of the Pancake Factory in its inaugural year, Williams and his fellow offensive linemen went to the Dell Children’s Hospital in Austin as part of their service work in just the second month of the Texas One Fund-sponsored program. Williams was one of the players who really took a shine to several kids. And they took a shine to him. You know how it goes, some guys are just naturals in those situations. Williams was this gentle giant who was also very nice and playful with them, handing out teddy bears and just hanging out. One of the kids also liked Williams’ brand new silver or gold chain. The kid played with it and played with it. Without the kid asking and just before leaving, Williams took the chain off his own neck and gave it to the young patient. Now, I don’t want to go over the top here, but Cam did not grow up with an inordinate amount of money. He showed something that day, a selflessness, generosity and kindness, that goes much deeper than what he does on a football field ever will. And for that reason, more than anything he ever accomplishes in sport, I’ll always be a Cam Williams fan. **

  2. One of those “No” recruits on Gerry’s list recently reached out to Texas to reengage but Texas didn’t seem too interested. Said recruit’s former teammate, who is now on the Texas roster, then had a conversation with Jeff Banks on his behalf. Word is the recruit asked Texas to match the NIL proposal he currently has because he is interested in joining the Texas class. Apparently Banks is unsure and a little butt hurt about how the recruitment has been handled. The position coach would love the recruit but Jeff did a lot of work on the recruitment and the recruit resides in an area that Jeff has a lot of pull. All things hypothetical of course.

  5. Enforce it? You tell him that Biden will pardon him on January 19th because politically Harris can't do it. Then you don't pardon him because fuck him. You do to Trump what he has done to people his whole life.

  6. UPS drivers have a good rep - I always carry a UPS uniform in my car, and there's a few places I visit where I hate their bathrooms. If I need to take a shit, there's a nearby place that I like to use, and I'll put on the uniform, stop in, tell them I have no deliveries for them and that they might be on another truck by mistake, and make small talk with the secretaries up front, then spend 10 or 15 minutes taking a shit in their public bathroom, then I'll grab a bottle of water from their breakroom. On my way out, I grab any UPS packages and drop those off at a UPS store. They are none the wiser.

  8. These people are morons. If Quinn is healthy he is the starter, anyone suggesting otherwise is a fucking moron that didn't actually watch the game against UTSA, when Arch struggled after his 1st 3 plays of the game. He was dangerously close to getting another 3 and out, before a really good throw to Golden to pick up the 1st down and that settled him down. I look at it this way, Arch isn't ready to navigate the pocket the way Quinn did against Michigan, it took Quinn 3 years to understand how to do it, and Quinn doesn't take that horrible sack against UTSA on the field corner blitz. If Quinn struggles with Georgia, which is a doubtful premise, given how he plays in big games, Sarkisian isn't yanking him for Arch.

  10. The following 10 cities: Pittsburgh New York City Philadelphia Baltimore Greensboro Atlanta Detroit Milwaukee Minneapolis Grand Rapids are the entirety of the JUST announced October tour by Stevie Wonder. He hasn't appeared in Michigan in many years. I think he may have something in mind. https://www.mlive.com/life/2024/09/stevie-wonder-to-perform-rare-concerts-in-grand-rapids-and-detroit.html

  13. It's so easy. Elko just needs to: 1) Quit focusing so much on coaching (?!) and more on fundraising 2) Get $30M in donations by putting people's names on a plague (sic) 3) Assemble the best roster evah 4) Profit!

  14. If Arch passes for four touchdowns and 300 yards on Saturday, he will be the new, permanent starter. If Trey Owens comes in during the third quarter and passes for six touchdowns and 600 yards, he will replace Manning as the new, permanent starter. And if Cole Lourde comes in during the fourth quarter and somehow passes for 1,500 yards and twelve touchdowns, he will be the new permanent starter.

  16. Under current Texas law, my wife would have not only been at serious risk of sepsis and death when she miscarried but also at risk of both infertility and cancer, on top of our heartbreak at losing the baby. But losing you would be a tragedy and I don’t know if I could bear it.

  20. For the sake of the entire community, please stop quoting that dumbass Futureman. He is ignored by at least 1/2 of us and provides exactly zero value with his humor that always misses the mark.
