  1. Boom!
  2. Texas needs to cut to the chase and hire the guy recruiting WR to Wyoming.
  3. CEO (retired) of Fortune 500 company Went to work for his company because I wanted to work for him. Played baseball @ TCU. Great person, best hand shake + eye contact person I ever met. I sent him an email this morning.
  4. "... you reap what you sow ..." Perhaps your letting you alligator mouth overload your hummingbird ass?
  5. Never heard of him until he committed to Texas. When I saw this pic, wow!!! That's a keeper. Look how high his hips are from the ground, and how small the ball looks in his hand. Is there any doubt he's gonna tomahawk that mofo through the hoop? That's Clyde Drexler, jump over somebody, NBA HOF stuff. When he decommitted, I felt the same way I did when Billy Sims committed to OU? Now, who was Quinn Ewers supposed to throw to? Just leave it @ Tom Herman. A Texas offense that ran the QB 10-15 times a game would not appeal to a top WR. Shit assistants. Immature prick. Undisciplined team. Quentin Johnson: 6’4” 215 lbs, 4.4 40 time, 42” vertical. Randy Moss w/ more spring in his legs. Can you see it... ... now ... what if he played for Texas!!! ... talk about jumpin' like a jackrabbit ... Fuck you Tom Herman!!! That's a Bingo! Results matter. 4* & 5* don't mean shit. Jevon Sheppard & Quentin Johnson were both highly recruited 4*. Yes it will impact Texas, and I absolutely want TCU to win. Because they Deserve it. Texas stepped on its Dick, and TCU didn't. TCU winning a National Championship will not hurt Texas, but HS players that go to TCU means they didn't go to LSU, Alabama, Georgia, etc. Texas needs to win. That's all we need, and all we have control of. Well said. TCU is a feel good story and has been a solid, quality program for a long time. They did that with a roster, for the most part, that we wouldn't look at twice. They are fun to watch because they do whatever it takes to win, not pretty football, but roll up your sleeves, get down in the dirt, and go get it. I want the SEC! SEC! SEC! bullshit to get stomped on, and TCU is the one to do it.
  6. Re: CB & tackling 1. Deion Sanders was one of the worst tackling CB's in the NFL. (he funny) 2. Prime Time was also the best cover corner in the history of the NFL. (Hall of Fame) One of those skills is a dime a dozen. Tackling can be taught. If you find the other, keep it. Either you got it or you don't. Not saying any of our players/prospects are either, particularly if they're still teenagers.
  7. You’re a real piece of shit work. Comparing the equivalent of a true freshman who missed his Senior year of high school to 5 multi-year starting Seniors and VY is really a fair comparison. Not one of them walked on the campus with the idea that I am the leader and this is my team. I saw VY play 3 years in high school and there was no way he was ready to lead Texas as a true freshman. I’m pretty sure fresh off the ranch young Colt did not have any illusions that he was the leader of the team and not VY. I don’t recall too many freshman, if any, that came to Texas with the idea that they are “it.” Not Earl, not Ricky, not VY, not Quinn. Quinn appears to be humble young man thankful for the opportunity to play at his dream school, especially given that Tom Herman almost doomed him to being a buckeye for life. He knows that missing his senior year of high school hurt him. “Now it's up to you, Charlie, but you might consider cuttin' the kid a little slack.”
  8. He looks like Jamal Charles. Shifty swivel hips, quick acceleration, and enough top end speed to run away from everybody. Can't find anything on his track times.
  9. FIFY We haven't had a QB on campus that could throw consistently throw a deep ball since Colt McCoy. Certainly not Tyronne or Sam. Quinn can. That isn't reducing the playbook. Quinn's mechanics aren't textbook. But he made throws before he got hurt that 90% of QB's can only dream about. how about a qb who progresses and improves throughout the year? And which FRESHMAN QB, with an injury that affected his throwing motion, would that be? I'll hang up and listen. How exactly have we "stripped down the Playbook?" Show us.
  10. On the long pass down the sideline, Worthy had 20 yards to adjust to the ball and he didn't deviate from his line more than 1-2 feet. Whether that's vision or lack of effort, the result is the same, and you can't have the most consistent thing your go to receiver does is not finding and catching the ball. ... except for the part of pounding K. Robinson between the tackles. Per Quinn's midweek interview; Riley Dodge was going to spend Quinn's Sr. year on mechanics. He lost that year. He also said he spent that time with CJ Stroud on film study. While both are important, a year spent on mechanics would have been a much better use of his time. Their were a lot of reasons UW won and Texas lost, they made plays when they need to and we didn't. Defense played well overall, but couldn't get off the field. Offensive line looked like the swinging doors from the a wild west saloon. Cain played well, too bad he isn't as fast and graceful as the UW receivers. JT had 2 receptions where he could have easily got a first down, but tried to make a move and got tackled short. No Bijan/Roschon hurt. Duh!!! Did Jaydon Blue even play? 3rd and short killed us. With no reliable run game, poor play calling resulted in low percentage passes with low percentage results. Quinn played well. He did a much better job of throwing the ball away and not taking a sack. He missed a few passes, everyone does. His stat line was 31/47 (66%) for 369, 1 TD 0 Int. If Worthy could fucking catch, it should have been 33/46 (72%) for 469+, 2 TD, 0 Int. His effortless toss that Worthy dropped was 50+ yards. I like Sam, he is a Texas Hero, but he couldn't make that pass. To all of you Nancy's bellyaching about QE,
  11. Worthy needs some Clifford Franklin goo.
  12. Worthy you piece of shit. You’ve got one job.
  13. Defense is playing good enough. Offense SUCKS. Robinson has no business running between the tackles. 3 god damn points?
  14. ME 202 - Intro to Engineering in '74. Dr. Schmidt gave a slide rule test and everyone had to pass before we moved on. He said every engineer before us knew how to use one and that wasn't going to stop on his watch. Still have it.
  15. Grandparents ~ 1931 Parents, 1951
  16. Big Dada Boom
  17. My ticket montage was a backdrop I made for a flyer for my sons HS Talent Show. Here are the other tickets I have. (The montage photo's are the little pile to the right) I also saw Chuck Berry. Pls notice Row AAA, front row. He stepped on my right hand. ("Are you in show business? Well, then, why don't you get your friggin' feet off the stage?" - Lili Von Shtupp) One of my most prized possessions. I did not go to the Texas Pop Festival (I was 13). I did see ~ 3/4 of the band that played. I never saw Hendrix or John Lennon, but saw most of the Real Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame. I have many fond memories of the bands I saw, and/or remember seeing. Being a freshman w/ Earl and living in Jester East and watching Texas Football are my favorite memories.
  18. Thank you. I know more than I did when I woke up.
  19. Music and Austin are synonymous. Always has been, always will be. Nothing like growing up in Austin in the 60's & going to UT in the 70's. The Music, and the puurrty girls used to ooze out of the cracks in the ground. Ok guys, do better. It was the Austin Opry House, not Opera. Austin used to have the Coliseum (fight nights, some concerts) and the Municipal Auditorium, where I saw my first concert, Led Zeppelin in 1969. I still remember them playing Dazed & Confused as we migrated from the balcony to the lower floor. Music and Austin are synonymous. Always has been, always will be. Nothing like growing up in the 60's & going to UT in the 70's. Music, and the puurrty girls use to ooze out of the cracks in the ground. The Armadillo (KLBJ night for 93 ¢) & Mother Earth were my go to clubs, and too many other venues to mention; a few bucks to see a young SRV @ Soap Creek Saloon or the Rome Inn, Marica Ball & Nancy Griffith @ the Backroom, the Skunks and the Huns @ Raul's, ZZ Top's Rompin' Stompin' Barn Dance & BBQ @ DKR, The Broken Spoke & Silver Dollar for some country (converted me from Levi's to Wranglers), 15¢ beer on Wednesdays @ the Bucket in Tri-Towers) and yes, even some Disco at the Green House and the White Rabbit. We also drove to San Antonio, Houston & Dallas for the occasional concert as needed. Fun times. I'm still above ground, I graduated, and my GPA is NOYB. A few of my bona fides ... I did go the the Dixie Chicken once ~ '76, where we schooled some aggies on playing Foosball while we discussed Earl Campbell >> George Woodard. Umn no, there was no live entertainment in CS.
  20. So (i) is Dallas a suburb of Ft. Worth, or (ii) is Ft. Worth a suburb of Dallas, or (iii) neither? I don’t think anybody in Boulder thinks affordable housing.is a problem. There is none, by design. They used to “control/limit” population growth ~ 1%/yr. I imagine it is less than that now. They never wanted growth. Buying a bungalow on a decent size lot, tearing it down, and building a McMansion doesn’t happen. Boulder hasn’t had a middle class in ~ 40-50 years. Rich people and students, most of which are trust fund babies. The people I knew who owned property in Boulder also owned a winery in Napa. The young girl who asked me for spare change in 1993 had braces and diamond earrings. Colorado is nothing but an outdoor option. I was born in Austin, and lived on a beach across the bay from Destin, Florida in the early 60’s, and have seen what going from a picturesque, pristine paradise to a people populated poop pot looks like. Boulder is unique.
  21. I’m going to give that a big NO. “The People’s Republic of Boulder” is not a suburb, Boulder made a decision ~ 50 years ago to create a buffer so they would never become anything like a suburb of Denver. Along the Boulder Turnpike and the Front Range, the City of Boulder has bought enough land over time to create ~ 5 mile buffer between Boulder and the inevitable growth coming from Denver. Other than being in Colorado, Boulder has little in common w/ Denver and the it’s suburbs. It’s so sad to see the foresight Boulder planners had compared to the development cluster fuck that has consumed Austin. I’ve never been to Allen, but I imagine it is similar to the countless well to do suburbs that border most major cities in America. Having lived on the edge of the buffer in Boulder County, please don’t put the City of Boulder in the same sentence as some Texas suburb, to avoid anyone thinking there might be any similarity between the two.
