  1. Frog out front should've told you.
  2. utvol was a frequent poster and friend of the Texas program as far back as the old TexasBBS days in the mid to late '90s. His daughter just called to tell me that Neal passed away suddenly this morning. He was the catalyst for many of our original Houston area get togethers at Mucky Duck. He may have bled the wrong color orange, but he loved college football and had a healthy respect for all things burnt orange. He also happened to be as wonderful of a human being as I've ever met in my 50+ years on this planet. The world got a little worse today and the Texas Longhorns lost a good friend. Hopefully he'll catch up with PhxHorn, bully, and Alfredo for a round. RIP utvol. God bless you, brother.
  3. Good family. Dad is still a big advocate for Texas program. Older brother went to Bishop Lynch and is at SMU. Younger brother went to Duncanville instead of BL or Bishop Dunne solely for the Panther's football program. Texas would definitely have the inside-track if and when it comes to that.
  4. According to my kids I’m not even “Dad Joke” funny anymore
  5. I volunteer to drive. I've done a rally driving course.
  6. They also had Art Monk and the "Fun Bunch." Don't sell yourself short, @closetojumping. You're a tremendous slouch.
  7. I thought he looked more like Tommy Chong, myself.
  8. Madoff investments must have finally paid off. Pop Quiz: An employee of mine grew up with a former Astro and sent me this old Little League picture from their home town newspaper. He should be pretty easy to name once you i.d. the correct player. Peace, Merry Christmas, and Happy Repeat to all!
  9. And fuck the Immaculate Deflection off Frenchy Fuqua.
  10. My experience with the French during travel there has been quite the opposite of that. First trip my brother made there was a backpacking trip. He had a Texas flag sewn on his pack and while sitting in a train station he was approached by an older gentlemen that recounted a story about being saved from execution by the Germans right after D-Day by U.S. soldiers that were accompanied by tankers with Texas flags on their antennas or painted on their tanks. My brother cut the patch off and gave it to him.
  11. Is it too late to get on the Gunter bandwagon?
  12. Jimmy Chitwood ain't walking through that door! Any testimony the daughters could offer about BSC's pattern of behavior would certainly be probative if Beard doesn't plead out and he's actually prosecuted. But he'll have been living and possibly coaching elsewhere by then.
  13. He could sue. He could then drag that litigation out for months or more than a year before Texas would have enough to file a no evidence motion for summary judgment or settle financially. In the meantime, it remains in the news cycle while we cross our fingers that his counsel doesn't complete a Hail Mary and find records in discovery where the University allowed an employee to keep their job after having been arrested and charged with a similar felony.
  14. Some are having difficulty with the risk management side of this equation. There is no risk with suspending him pending a thorough review and then dismissing him outright for beach of contract or eliciting a resignation for pennies on the dollar. There is a process in place and not following that process leaves room for an argument to the contrary. However baseless a wrongful termination suit might be, there is risk involved with litigating this, and in a public forum. Anyone remember how long Bev Kearney's matter dragged out and how embarrassing that was? That suit was foundering until she was able to leverage Applewhite's indiscretions into an argument that eventually cost UT $600K and plenty more than that in attorneys' fees and expenses. Do a cost/benefit analysis. Do you want to litigate this with Beard, however frivolous, and roll the dice on what turns up in discovery, or bide your time and make this go away quietly, and if necessary, cheaply?
  15. The question is, are you paying attention? No one is disputing whether Texas has the right to exercise a clause in the employment agreement to terminate employment. The point is that there is a process and procedure for doing so that doesn't put the University at risk or expose themselves to any accusation of wrongful termination, however frivolous. For CDC and the suits in the Tower, it is all about risk management now.
  16. UT isn't saying a damn thing beyond "we are looking into it." Silence is golden. In two years you want the headlines to be "Beard seeking redemption in new job," and not "testimony begins in wrongful termination/defamation suit against UT." How thrilled would the aggies be had Jimbo done something like this and handed them a termination for cause for that albatross of a contract?
  17. It bears repeating that Texas isn't going to jump right from a public relations nightmare straight into a wrongful termination suit that keeps this out in the public domain.
  18. Fuck PT. For years I was in agony with shoulder pain. Couldn't lift my right arm without wincing. Fondren Orthopedic in Houston kept telling me that PT was my only option, but it didn't help one bit. When I moved to the Metroplex a friend sent me over to the Carrell Clinic. After an exam and MRI, Dr. Burkhead asked me when I wanted to schedule surgery. I had my rotator cuff repaired, a bicep tendon reattached, and my AC joint cleaned out. He said my AC joint appeared as if a hand grenade had gone off in it. No amount of PT was going to fix that. Ridiculous. Recovery from shoulder surgery was grueling. I'm on my third ACL and I'd have three more before I had shoulder surgery again. But, I've been pain free ever since I recovered and I thank Dr. Burkhead every time I reach for my seatbelt or toss a football without any pain.
  19. "Randy, I’m looking and pointing at Cotton, but I’m talking to you.”
  20. My baptism was the 1972 Cotton Bowl versus Penn State. Dad gave us a few bucks and ordered us to get on our bikes and get the hell out of his sight. We went to go see "Lady and the Tramp" at the local movie theater.
  21. this may be the cruelest thing I've seen posted on Surly Horns. I LAUGHED the entire time I was forwarding it to my brother.
