  1. You are not alone. Look for a local support group to help you out. I am having to work it out myself out here in the country.
  2. While I enjoy watching the players practice I worry that what I am seeing is either an exceptionally good play by one player or one that is exaggerated by poor play of the other.
  3. This right here. He came close to a crime scene investigator putting his shit in a plastic bag as evidence.
  4. Love this pic
  5. I got a crick in my neck watching this video. Otherwise pretty awesome.
  6. It makes me ragey every time I read a stat about how good he was and nationally ranked in so many categories and yet did not get the recognition or awards that he deserved. You now know that there are going to be so many people that will say that they have been a fan of him for years once he begins to kill it in the NFL. Us Horns fans have always known. He is ours!
  7. Where are the women?
  8. I wonder what the attorney’s fees will be that are advising these student-athletes?
  9. aggy can "strengthen" their schedule on paper for this year knowing full well that the season most likely will not play out therefore not having to face the real consequences of additional losses. However, in subsequent years this schedule will somehow surface in their "strength" of schedule and SEC debates as a bonus.
  10. Newsflash: Dallas has more cases than Hallsville, Texas. Total cases more maybe because more opportunities. What about cases per capita?
  11. Avatar look-a-like
  12. Three letters: BEE
  13. Cape Town is touristy too. Try visiting Johannesburg to see the conditions there. I visit SA a couple of times a year. Visiting is enough as I would not want to live there.
  14. I am the type that gets there early and stays until the end (sometimes the bitter end). I only make it to a couple of games a year so being among the UT faithful I always stay and sing the "Eyes". I also make it to a least one road game a year as well. I have gone to the last two away WVU/UT games both of which UT won. There is something about singing the "Eyes" on another team's turf that is so bonding with other UT fans and alumni.
  15. Who or what is the dude in the blue kerchief and blue socks? Looks so...out of place?
  16. Washington Water Buffaloes
  17. Earl says, "When you put those Horns up, there is someone there to help you". Family. Hook'em.
  18. What is "bland" or "boring" to us today was not necessarily so when some of these names were chosen in years past.
  19. A best selling book that has yet to be published?
  20. The local TV station ran the story yesterday that UT "rejected" the request to quite singing the "Eyes of Texas". This was reported during the 5:00pm news. I immediately emailed the station a copy of the letter as sent out by the Interim President along with my objection of their reporting. Within 20 minutes I received a reply from them about the word "rejected": Email follows: TV Station Reply: Thank you for writing in. I think you bring up a great and fair point. The source on that story was the Associated Press out of Austin. I agree their wording, and as a result ours, could have better reflected the outcome. “Rejected” assumes too much. I appreciate you for bringing it to our attention. Text for the story: RACIAL INJUSTICE-TEXAS Texas keeps 'The Eyes of Texas' despite athlete demands The University of Texas has rejected calls by its athletes to change a school song that they believe has racist undertones. “The Eyes of Texas” has long been criticized for its connection to minstrel shows with characters in blackface in the early 1900s. The school says the song will remain. Texas interim president Jim Hartzell says the Texas community has the power to determine “what the ‘Eyes of Texas’ expect of us, what they demand of us.”
  21. My take is that the Team will stay to sing the song after the game as a Team as I would think that part of the approval of keeping the song was that all parties are good with the direction that is being taken. There may be some outliers that still have an issue with the song but with the concept of Team unity they will stay on the field to sing it.
  22. Who is the VY equal for an AD?
  23. Going to an Ivy League Football game is on my Bucket List. I just need to find a sweater with a large T on it and maybe a small megaphone.
