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?
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.
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.
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.
Things Not Going Well for Mickey Joseph
Former interim head coach Mickey Joseph was arrested for strangulation and third degree domestic assault earlier today.
Ohio State has a slight edge in talent and a bigger edge in coaching. Throw in +7 for the home team. 50-degrees and a 40% chance of rain on Saturday, so weather isn't likely to be a factor. I'll miss my post-game celebration with my father-in-law this year. He was a hardcore Buckeye with a healthy respect and love for Texas and Longhorn fans because he's never been treated better anywhere than Austin in '05.
We drove down to Harlingen every summer to see the Confederate Air Force Airshow before they moved it to Midland and changed the name. I’ve always been a fanboy of WW2 vintage planes.
I’ve flown in a B-17. It was a great experience, but I wouldn’t do it again. I was so happy to have my feet firmly back on the ground. I knew it would be loud aboard, but I could not believe how loud it actually was. It was even difficult to hear the comms through the headset. It was also a physical beating. I imagine akin to trying to stand on a rollercoaster. But, I’m still more in awe of the guts it took to jump in those bombers and fly over the Reich every day and in broad daylight.
I was at Spring Training the year they shifted Bags to 1B. I would have lost a ton of money on any bet that he’d eventually make the HOF.
Drove down to Houston with my 16-year old. Four hours down and four hours back tonight. Worth every mile.
I changed planes in O'Hare on the way to Seattle in 2003 and Cubs fans onboard had already convinced the pilot to put the Cubs playoff broadcast on one of the inflight entertainment channels. I wasn't listening, but when the Cubs' fans reached for the ball and deflected Moises Alou's potential catch the entire plane went into an uproar with arms flailing, people jumping up, and screaming obscenities. I plugged my headphones in but we lost the broadcast shortly after. Didn't really figure out what happened until we got to Seattle.
Good listen about Xi cementing his power at the Communist Party congress, if you have a few minutes to spare.
