    Horse fertilizer. I grew up playing the grooves off an LHB album recorded in the early ‘60’s. Eyes was not played at the tempo Hanna is conducting. Crider - LOL. Ever wonder why she wore aggy boots while she was LHB director? She wanted to be aggy during her college years (and apparently beyond), but they weren’t coed at the time. She had to “settle” for LHB.

    Texas wins toss. Defers. Trojans start fast. Texas looks unprepared on D. Texas O makes one 1st down; can’t stay on field. 1stQ: 0 - 14 USC After falling behind 21, Texas O comes to life running tempo, scores just before half. 2ndQ: 7-21 USC Texas O runs 3&out after receiving kick. Punt is shanked giving USC ball at mid field. Texas D shows improvement. Stiffens in red zone. USC settles for field goal. Texas O continues to struggle. No sign of play selection or tempo run at end of 1st half. 3rdQ: 7-24 Texas D begins to flag after too much time on field. Another shanked punt sets up Trojan O with short field. Scores TD. Texas D rises up, gets turnover. Teaxas O musters life as time runs out, scores late. Final: 14 - 31 USC Water is wet. Hope I’m wrong. Will watch every second, regardless.

    I like your optimism.

    OK. Good news is it looks like PayPal only paid once, but I got two email invoices from Surly on same date with consecutive invoice numbers.

    The 1st time you get double charged, like I did this month. or maybe I was “promoted” to the 2XTF club . . .

    Well, in that case, you’re good.

    In Houston, TX? Not recommended. Reminds me of story . . . while house hunting a couple of years ago, It was amusing how easy it was to spot “You Build-it” homes. They usually look like crap. Something designed by an amateur. There are exceptions, one of which the wife & kids liked. I could still tell from details like quirky floor plan, weird finishing carpentry details, missing anchor bolts on garage support columns, etc. that something wasn’t right. I asked our realtor to find out who the builder was. Sure enough, it was a U-Buildit type house. I’m sure there are folks that could pull off a quality self build, but they are by far the exception to the rule. They prob have some type of background in construction.

    I’m opposed to any rule that relies completely on the discretion of an official, and then is confirmed by an official judging intent of split second reaction on slow-mo replay. Complete organic fertilizer. What do I know? i’m from the age of salt pills, no water breaks, and “lead with the crown of your helmet.” We did everything wrong, and liked it. Plllllllllll . . .

    New Logos: Hmmmm . . . pretty good 1st Bevo is a kind of blocky/mechanical looking. Cockrell School approves. 2nd Bevo - what’s with the “flame” thingies? Saw what you did there with the F.C.B Maybe add an “est.” with the 2018?

    Offense improves. Defense remains good. Kicking game bites. 7-5 Hoping for better.

    That makes it Title IX? i get moral turpitude and all. I’m not saying this isn’t bad, and anyone who enabled or covered up is not guilty of a bad thing. I just don’t see how Title IX is relevant. Hmmm. OK. Seems to be a very broad interpretation, particularly if no charges filed by the Vic. I’ll shut up be fore I get myself in trouble. No doubt bad stuff if true.

    OK, how is domestic abuse between coach & wife related to Title IX? Had nothing to do with coed and/or student athlete. No one was deprived of educational opportunity or scholarship. Type slowly so I can understand.

    After all the smack Meyer was aiming at Herman earlier this year, maybe this Is the TH curse?

    Top it it off with double post. #go back to sleep grandpa#

    This is correct. Right across from where Greenlawn Pkwy runs into Burnet Rd. I remember you could look across Burnet while waiting to turn from Greenlawn and see the Gibsons parking lot. I don’t think the light existed at that intersection until after Gipsons built there. Sorry for the necro bump. I just discovered this thread. Thread makes me feel old. Might as well give a delayed geezer response. #go back to sleep grandpa#

    Link to Schutt info. They are selling replacement helmet liners with this stuff. https://www.d3o.com/sports/schutt/ i’ll quit Talking to myself now. It is the off season. ob-

    Apparently, already being integrated by manufacturers: “Partnerships, like the D3O liner integration into Schutt's sports helmets, have helped to make access to this remarkable innovation more available to civilians.”
