  1. The old man. 1st tour of Vietnam (here with 1/9th Cav) Citadel graduate, class of 1965. Come on Bulldogs!
  2. Freshly cut grass from a 1a high school football stadium, the inside of a football helmet after august two a days, socks, stale beer and rum and cokes (151 Bacardi) that were spilled in the stands. It’s called Surly, Fall in Texas Oh… and despair. And just a hint of fat old lady boob sweat from a women in the piney woods ..Like from Jasper or Diboll.
  3. Good lord. They are so gay (like we meant when we were kids 40 years ago) and cringe inducing.
  4. Hey Beau! What no Dominic Savio vs. St. Michael’s? Catholics versus well.... other Catholics? The Papal Bowl.
  5. This right here. Want to see compliance. See Lake Travis or Westlake forfeit 2 plus games. That will get the ‘my freedoms’ crowd inline.
  6. From you to God’s ears. I don't expect much from the Horns so taking joy in the collapse of those hayseeds is all I got.
  7. This is correct. I would add Jonathan Quayle Higgins III as well as Chief Robert T. Ironside and Barnaby Jones.
  8. ….. not a single thing, in this whole world, worth a solitary dime, ‘cept old dogs, and children and watermelon wine…. Rest easy Tom
  9. It doesn’t. Was reading this right when Tony Jones was getting ready to beat Arky. I agree with you that this is not a gimme. No game is safe right now. The pig fans will be out for blood.
  10. Watching the 1987 Texas v pig game. Tony Jones says otherwise.
  11. Best high school running back I ever saw. His forward lean alone was worth 4 yards. He just kept coming at you. Nothing fancy. He destroyed San Antonio MacArthur in championship. Defeated MacArthur 54-0 Benson rushed for 238 yards and 5 touchdowns. He scored on runs of 4 yards, 58 yards, 1 yard and 49 yards. And, he scored on a 44-yard pass play. Punished Westlake in another championship. Defeated Austin Westlake 33-21 Benson rushed for 249 yards on a whopping 40 carries, and scored 5 TDs. He scored on runs of 47 yards, 4 yards, 4 yards, 13 yards, 10 yards. https://texashsfootball.com/a-legacy-remembered-cedric-benson-of-midland-lee/
  12. There’s a reason Afghanistan is called the graveyard of empires. Nobody ever learns. These people have zero interest in democracy or any other form of government not grounded in their medieval theocracy. What a waste. We should have bailed after Tora Bora. It’s not like nuking them into the Stone Age is any kind of threat. They live in the Stone Age. I am grateful to all on this board who went willingly in support of this country and the mission. I continue to go back to my fathers words after his second tour in Vietnam, “never again should we go to another country to fight and die for a populace that doesn’t want us there and for a government that can’t clearly articulate what is victory”… or something like that from what I remember.
  13. Is there really any discussion as to who the greatest Longhorn is? I love Vince, Street and Ricky….. but Earl is the top of the pyramid. Everything that makes Texas Texas as a state and university is wrapped in the Tyler Rose. God bless him.
  14. Bring on the farmers! Stupid aggy. Just another W. Makes Thanksgiving the best holiday. I don’t think there is anything better in the world than pounding aggy…..Maybe the Indy 500…. Bout it’s a distant second.
  15. Her celebration of Townes puts her up high in my book. I don’t know what Texas did to make her leave but I hope she comes home.
  16. I have the same issue with jalapeños. I’ve started to ask for double japs. Same amount roughly. May have to go with triple. I don’t want it smothered but more than 4 is preferred.
  17. I have seen a Heisman winner and a national championship. I’m good. Come and get some you little green bastards.
  18. I will say this - If this messes up High School Football season... I'm gonna be TNT. I know there are bigger battles out there to worry about but this is Texas and ... I got my whole family vaccinated since the kids are over the age. I feel for the parents who have children under the age. What a mess.
  19. I'm with you.. I read that and I'm like wtf - End of day you are a salesman - sell the program, sell the opportunity. Fuck.. just wink and say the contract says 2025 but you know how those things go... f
  20. It's the wild wild west out here - Get comfortable in the gray areas or get out of the way. We are trying to buy a championship.. ain't nobody got time for an analysis of all the risks that may imply.
  21. I don't disagree -- BUT -- If I have to go one more season of just win and all will be right I may go crazy.. Every year it's if we just win it will fix this and we don't and it doesn't. I have zero ZERO interest in loosing to the aggys period. I can live with a close game to Bama and OU - I expect that.. but to aggy.. no.. never.
  22. It's this and nothing but this... I just smells like the farmers are showering recruits with money.. they don't care about compliance, process or whatever CDC is pitching. Just put money in their hands and deal the issue when they sign. I can't see it any other way. They are who they are.. oily grifters and will do whatever is needed. Knife in a gun fight. @SydneyCarton is correct as well - the perfect storm - our inability to play the current NIL game and being out recruited. We shall see but I'm not holding my breadth for this class. We have, in my opinion, a very short window to get our talent level where we need it to be and hit the ground running when SEC play starts in 2022.
