  1. Son got accepted to UT today. One of his first comments - "Well, I'm not looking forward to basketball season next year."
  2. Just realized. My son will be at Texas for Arch; my wife was attending Tennessee when Peyton was QB. Weird.
  3. Holy S! I love all of y'all. My son got in. We were sweating. 3.85 GPA and 1410 on SAT (I think; don't quote me), but in an IB high school, he was "only" top 8%. He'll be in RTF. I'm so happy for him. He's slightly on the spectrum, so extremely quiet and shy. I've never heard him raise his voice or even cuss. He's had at least 8 job interviews over the past 3 months with no offers. I'm under the impression that his demeanor was a hindrance. And NOW.... a true Longhorn. Holy shit! My son is a Longhorn!
  4. That's the thing. The Alone creators are serious enough to equip folks with bear spray and air horns. The first night on this new show, and they're showing bears wandering around the campsites. I guess we're supposed to sympathize with those that have the ability to push the button and "save" their family members. It's too contrived.
  5. Cool concept, and I wanted to like it. But, there's no way they dropped a bunch of people, that aren't even real survivalists, in BC w/o any type of defense against bears.
  6. F waiting a year. It's not just about not making the tourney and/or looking so shitty in most games. There's no life in the program. The fans have checked out. I'm seeing very little on the recruiting front. Hell, I'm trying to think of one player that's even improved after getting on campus. Start fresh, get some transfers, and actually give us something to look forward to next year.
  7. Autism as well. I have a middle schooler with it. This thread reminded me I need to get him to watch it with me.
  8. The original had one of the better movie endings of the last few years.
  9. Sweet. A rebound for every foul or turnover.
  10. You didn't like the play just before half where he drilled the ball off the bottom of the backboard from 2 feet out?
  11. As usual, the ads were mostly meh. I'm biased in that I'll always like those with Texas alums - MM and Glen Powell - showing out. I think John Hamm may have attended Texas as well. As the father of a high school senior, I def didn't need to see the one where the father sent his daughter off to college.
  12. Why the f would you throw your hands up like that in the box?
  13. This team is so GD regarded.
  14. It's me you old coot!
  15. Thanks. Saw that earlier and was wondering about the context.
  16. Thanks @billfromlaketravis I somehow have never seen the video you posted. 🤘
  17. All my Terry bitching aside, I wonder if this is a team that takes longer to gel each season due to turnover. I don't pay shitall attention to other programs, but I feel as if Texas' roster the last two years has had far more change than most. Perhaps the early season ugliness is more of a reflection on this than the coach. /ducks
  18. Sorry. Off topic, but I just looked it up. How in the holy hell did LSU lose 9 games that year with Shaq, Roberts, and Chris Jackson?
  19. This is definitely going better than the time I watched Texas play against Stanley Roberts and Shaq. Pretty sure I watched the game at Richardson Square Mall.
  20. Sweet. We did hit the rim once in our first three shots a foot from the basket. Edit: Make that 1 rim in 4 shots.
  21. Yeah. I'm telling myself not to be a bitch up 8 on the road, but it's so sloppy.
