  1. Congrats to former Longhorn LB Aaron Babino for being named Athletic Director and Head Football Coach at Cameron Yoe. 🤘

    RIP Mort

    Very nice man. I was fortunate to have crossed paths with him a few times while I was working for ABC Sports or freelancing for ESPN back in the day. He loved to talk shop. Years later I bumped into him at O’Hare when I was in Chicago taking a deposition. Again, loved talking about his work and was very interested in why I left television and with what I was doing then. A genuinely good person. RIP
  3. I know that the percentage of wins in Omaha and national titles have fallen off the table since pierce took over. I've seen enough.
  4. Making it to Omaha isn’t our standard. Winning in Omaha and bringing home national titles is the threshold. Don’t compromise.
  5. Bend it Like Beckham The Goodbye Girl Truly, Madly, Deeply
  6. All your first round picks will soon belong to Syracuse.
  7. I cut ATT Uverse this week and picked up YTTV. The first item of business is to figure out a path to Space City Home Network l that doesn't involve Fubo or DirectTV. Anything else I need to know?
  8. Just one pull off the slots away from a carton of Pall Malls and helping Brent Venables do God's work.
  9. 49'ers win on Sunday and Kyle Shanahan exits on top and takes the UCLA job. A reverse Jim Harbaugh.
  10. I can get on board with trying this in some format; however, it's not like the Premiership where teams don't spend money or don't spend it wisely. Relegation might be the result of circumstances beyond the control of most of the schools and kids that would be subject to it.
  11. My oldest is in computer engineering at UTD and is working his ass off. Texas Instruments started it and is still heavily involved with the program. He loves it and after a few years in the real world, I doubt anyone is going to give a shit about the "D" next to "UT" on his diploma. It's all about talent and ability.
  12. Biology. Ditto! We'll look into it counting AP credits and course availability, but I'm 100% certain that Liberal Arts isn't where she wants to land or risk being stuck. She's got burnt orange glasses on right now and as much as I want another Texas Ex around the house, it's not my first choice (or decision). thanks.
  13. Good news. Bad news. Youngest was accepted to The University yesterday but received the "denial" option. That is to go to school at a "UT System University" for 30 credit hours, maintain a 3.2 GPA, and get guaranteed admission to Austin in Fall 2025. Unfortunately, my kid already has so many dual credits from AP courses in high school, that there are not likely enough courses available for them to knock out the 30-hour requirement. Losing guaranteed admission for following a more academically challenging path in high school. What a country.
  14. Played with Terrelle Pryor for Jim Tressel
  15. Damnit. Todd 'effin Helton? WTF
  16. Amen. And there were dozens of untrained and untested parents outside willing to say "Get on my hip and don't miss."
  17. 100% this. Rodney Terry would never have been considered for the position to begin with. He was just the next guy up. Ask yourself, where does RT land if he gets fired by Texas after the season? What Power Five Conference school would leap to name RT their new head coach?
  18. Most of the quality football players who would have gone to Lynch or Dunne wind up at Duncanville or somewhere close by. Alex January's older brother went to Lynch, but Dad had no intention of sending Alex there.
  19. That was @randomag making up something about making up something. Reverse psychology. I see you working big guy!
