  1. -2 more DTs and possibly a 3rd if it is the right one. -Top end LB or bust -Hilson and Terry are in unless something weird happened recently. -If they take K Johnson, it is strictly to piss on The Elk’s rug. They’re going to take a burner with numbers from the portal regardless. That’s allocated. -The 2026 S is reclassifying so they’re done after that position unless he screws something up late. -They might have to get obnoxious at CB and given that the competition is Oregon, Ohio State, Alabama and ATM, I have to assume they’d target Dijon Lee. This position remains a head scratcher. -Given that Terry is going to practice in the spring as though he’s Tyler Warren and one or both of the full time TBs are enrolling early, they’re unlikely to go after a portal TB unless he’s free and hungry. -At DT, it’s not so much about landing any single specific guy, and the market is set on what these guys will cost. Whichever guys mesh the best with the staff and want to come to Texas more than some other place, those will be the extra 2-3 guys with whom they close.

  3. *****************BREAKING SURLY ITEAM NEWS EXCLUSIVE******************* Early turn out in Georgia is massive. My ballot, cast at approximately 11:30, was the 634th of the day, and there were 200 people in line behind me, and no signs of slowing. For reference, our precinct in 2020 had approximately 8000 votes cast in 2020, all manners of voting. Today is on pace to have at least 1000 votes cast on day 1. Also, unscientifically and just from observation, the crowd skewed markedly younger in comparison from 2020, I would guess down from an average age of 60sih then to roughly 50ish this time. Overheard in line behind several Republicans, "This doesn't look good." Lots of women, lots, by my guess approximately 2 to 1. So younger, more women, about the same amount of racial diversity. Lots less olds, lots. Observed, Republican poll monitor looking mighty unhappy about the turnout, Democratic poll monitor with a happy smile. I'm not under any delusion that Dems will win my area, but negate any advantage held prior looks very favorable. (Last time around 60/40 Republican-Dem. We've got a shot at 45% in my mind).

  7. I know I am late to the party but let me take a stab at this. Those people at Trump's rallies are racist but it's very weird. They have been told brown people are the boogeyman for the better part of a century, and as such they are terrified of us as a blank-face, collective. They are perfectly fine with our existence as long as it's somewhere else. When we infiltrate their spaces that is where the fear comes out, especially when we are in more numbers than they are comfortable with. So Chi you can move to a nice neighborhood and be perfectly welcome. However, if 30 of you move to the same neighborhood they will sell and go somewhere else. Those folks don't want too many of us in their schools. They don't want your kids dating their daughter. They don't like it if you are doing better than them. They like us to be "in our place" in society, and "in our own spaces". Black people know this and having become experts at keeping white folks comfortable while navigating their spaces. How we talk, the clothes we wear, our hair styles, and even going as far as to completely mute any emotional response is all in an effort not to remind them that we are different and trigger that fear. Wanna find out if this is true? Take a Trumper to a gathering where they are the only white person and watch the sheer terror wash over them. What you are seeing is politicians who know how terrified their people are of the browns out numbering them and they are fanning those flames. My whole life this is the move. Dog-whistle the racist parts and the people will vote against their own interests every election.

  10. He was a high 4 star and he’s was on first team AA teams for 2023. Never been JAG, really. He was committed to Texas when Herman was here and then decommitted because his girl went to OU and Herman’s regime was in shambles. He then ran his mouth and shit talked Texas, even after Sarkisian got here and recruited him. He’s continued to run his mouth around the game each year. Also, talking about getting coached up and then winding up with Jay Valai as your position coach, well, you fucked around, now you’re finding out.

  11. Tomatillo? Tomatillo, where are you? Tomatillo, are you gone? Sark's offense is built on numbers and mismatches, getting guys in space, and hitting them, which we have had plenty of in every game. Even with dropped TD passes, poor throws and untimely/questionable penalties, we have scored with ease. All that means is we might have a few faster guys trying to catch up, while we have the ball and are running away. They may reduce the YAC, but I don't see them stopping the passes. I watched some of Ikard & Lehman (OU honks) last night; They commented that OU's defense seemed lost, looking at the sideline for signals and getting aligned while Texas was snapping the ball. I expect Georgia to have similar issues, trying to figure out what we're doing, oh, shit!, they snapped the ball, and off to the races. Well said, Wulaw. I was going to further elaborate for Tomatillo, but ... I see Georgia's off the field antics bleeding into their on the field performance, which has been somewhat inconsistent in every game they've played. Seeing Kirby's antics looks like a coach on the edge trying to keep the ball from unraveling, not a guy gently nudging the steering wheel. We know Texas is good this year, we just don't know how good. I do know we have a great scheme on offense and explosive play makers at every position, and an OL that knows that it all starts with them. As good as our offensive numbers are, they could and should have been considerably better. I thought I read that Georgia had 2 injured OL that are coming back this week, and some had been critical of how poorly they have looked. I expect them to better than OU, but not like what they have had in the past. I think it almost comical the constant SEC refrain that Texas has never been in a high stakes game or played in a hostile environment before. The new end zone keeps more of the sound in than before. The Alabama game was very loud, and hot as hell. The atmosphere at DKR in 1977, after beating OU for the first time in 6 years, Texas rising to #1, with Earl playing for a Heisman was electric. I expect Texas v. Georgia at DKR on a Saturday night to be as loud as its ever been. I think it almost comical the constant SEC refrain that Texas has never been in a high stakes game or played in a hostile environment before. Texas has ended commendable home winning streaks of Michigan, Alabama, USC, Ohio State, & Nebraska, and has scoreboard on all of them, as well as Oklahoma & Notre Dame. We're Texas! One Riot, One Ranger. Its out time to lead from the front, again. DKR has been so loud you couldn't talk to the people next to you, many times. Its hard to compare being in the middle of the student section v. being in the end zone or upped deck. Miss State had back to back delay-of-game penalties. That is plenty loud enough. In 1974 against Arkansas, freshman Earl Campbell, after scoring on a 68 yard run, blocked a punt that Doug English returned for a TD. That was probably the loudest thing I'd ever heard that wan't connected to a jet engine. Ricky's record run against A&M was like slowing cranking a bank of 100 W Marshalls from zero to 11, with the crescendo sustained at the end for who know's how long, making your ears and head, and eventually, your throat hurt. I'm looking forward to some similar experiences Saturday night.

  14. Wrong. Voting for Trump is more than a simple political matter. This is not a difference of opinion on whether the new highway should be free or tolled. It’s a statement of whether you’re a decent human or not. Enough. It is time.

  17. I think that's a nice dream. But I think what's really going on here is she's taking Bill Clinton's sage advice: You have to meet people where they are. This is both literally - they're listening to Fox and Rogan - but also figurative in that she needs to reach a certain subset of independents/right voters who just aren't going to hear her message otherwise. Or if they do, it will be through a corrupt filter. Better for her to take her message directly to those people. If she can peel away even a small number, that may be significant. She doesn't need to preach to us. We're already converted.

  18. What I’m digging about New Zealand the most is the unabashed embrace of cultural diversity displayed everywhere in every circumstance. Here, it’s not even a thing to think about. Everywhere people of different races and backgrounds are dating, chatting, working together just happy as they can be. Imagine, actually being happy instead of focusing on hating differences

  20. Do you mean like the 80-page thread speculating about how liberals were molesting children in a pizza parlor's fictional basement or how Hillary Clinton personally murdered Seth Rich on the mean streets of Georgetown? Yeah, that was quite the informative discourse. It's too bad most of the thread participants chose different handles when the changeover happened.
