  1. Out of curiosity, y'all think we can round up our version of Phyllis from Mulga to call into Paul's show?
  2. JT is interesting. The NFL just passed a rule allowing TEs to wear single digits. Will make it harder for him to switch to defense though.

  4. Since 1980, UT has only matched or outperformed preseason AP rankings 13 times. I think aggy is at 14, but that might say more about people's low expectations for them than anything.
  5. There are a lot of things that the university is capable of doing and has done historically, but contracts out now. Administrative IT systems are largely being bought off the shelf despite being developed in-house for decades. Sure, it standardizes you with everyone else and allows you to focus on more teaching and learning stuff, but it dilutes your identity and forces you to pay the ask. The legislature somehow finds it easier to approve contracting fees than FTE salaries.
  6. Okay we're irrelevant despite not losing to a non-undefeated national championship SEC team since 2014. Even that one was within 1 TD.
  7. Did Larry Falk have a stint on the mortgage desk at Salomon Brothers before coming to Texas?
  8. Quit being a pussy. We're going to skullfuck those dirt burglars.
  9. If only he had sprung for economics, right?
  10. I think that's what his brain looks like after UNT.
  11. aggy has never once had more than three 5* in a class, and that was back when Sumlin was doing jaeger bombs and Johnny was doing a line off Mike Evans' shaft during half time. I guess this is the year they really turn the progrum around.
  12. Sous vides are for cheaters, too, but goddamn does it make a perfect steak every time.
  13. No twitter activity since signing day. No release to be found.
  14. The first one was admittedly j2c, the second was an honest question about former 5* transfers.
  15. Not just that, we have two players coming in that were 5* out of hs. That doesnt always mean what we want it to, but we would be have been elated if both were in our signing day class. Do you think a former 5* transferring into a new program is more or less humble than they were going into the original program? I'm all for taking other programs' bust recruits if it means they have grown a heightened appreciation for hard work and find a way to reach their 5* potential. On the other hand, if they come here with a shitty entitlement and are poison in the locker room, I don't want them.
  16. Fine, but what's wrong with calling it "our house"?
  17. Maybe I'm a little sexist, but it always bothers me when someone who doesn't work (outside the bedroom) talks about "my" stuff as if they could even imagine buying it without the million dollar special teams coach.
  18. When I was 20, I got a call from a friend telling me that my best friend from high school had fallen off a boat during a nighttime river party. Divers found his body the next day. We hadn't been close since I went to school, but he had gotten heavy into alcohol in high school after his mom died. I was a fairly straight laced kid, so I pushed him away when I didn't want to be his DD anymore. After his death, I spent years blaming myself. As it were, I was in a metal band at the time and wrote a song about him. The music genre was fortuitous in that it allowed me to scream "I let you drown" at the top of my lungs unironically. 13 years later, I still wonder if there wasn't more I could have done. Tl;dr young people dying causes unhealing wounds
