They were pretty evenly matched. I think Westlake happened to be the better team, but keep in mind the better team doesn’t always win.
NS had some young talent but is losing some key players like Davis and Banks. So Westlake should roll rather easily to a 3rd title no? They have that QB & Greathouse back, not sure if they’re losing anyone of consequence.
I think Westlake can potentially win a third straight title, as they will probably end up in D2 next season. Austin High lost their QB to Texas and will return to suckiness, which will push Westlake to D2. The Chaps lose some key players on the line, but there will be other good lineman who can step up. The receivers will be a position of strength, but both starting RB's are gone. I am hoping that a new RB mysteriously "shows up" in the spring.
If Westlake goes D2, I give them a good chance of winning next year. If they end up D1, then all bets are off, as Dallas has some strong programs emerging.

North Shore was the two time defending 6A D1 champs, and very few outside of Eanes ISD gave Westlake a shot (source: I spend a lot of time on the Texas 6A football forum, which frankly makes me dumber every time I go there, but still find it somewhat entertaining).
I thought NS had a terrible game plan, and didn't play to their strengths. Running Shadrach out of the backfield time after time wasn't going to work...I think with a better game plan NS wins by 14 (sorry, just my humble opinion). I actively cheered for Westlake, and was very impressed by them. I'm not a hater. I live in HP, so didn't really have a dog in the hunt.
I appreciate that you cheered for Westlake, and I support North Shore, as well. I think they have a great coach, great players and they've dominated while keeping it clean. (I"m looking at you, Katy)
However, I don't see how you can think North Shore beats Westlake by 14 with a better game plan. Westlake was a better team this year than North Shore, period. How do we know this? Westlake and North Shore played and Westlake beat them! What better metric could exist to confirm that Westlake was better in 2020? We beat them in their city, in the state semi-final where they highly motivated, in front of mostly their fans. When you have a 2-time state champion, senior QB and a supreme talent like senior Shadrach Banks, you put the ball in their hands, and they were successful enough to score 21 points which is a really good against the best HS defense in Texas, but, dude, Westlake was a better team.

GoFundMe for the little girl who was critically injured. She still hasn’t woken up since the crash.
Before you share a GoFraudMe link, it's best to confirm that it is actually legit. Scammers post these in the hundreds every time a disaster or human interest story pop up. I'm not saying that this is or isn't, but due to a lack of content on it, I have my doubts.

This class is as loaded of a QB class as I can remember and the thought/hope is we get one of the big names up for grabs. Having the horns linked to a few, figured I’d make an all encompassing thread to discuss, post tweets, bitch and moan over who or what everyone thinks.
The main names so far
Quinn Ewers, Southlake Carroll. Obviously this one we all know about. Biggest prize and all of us are hoping for the flip. Ranked #1 prospect and Pro QB. 5* - 1.000 247 composite grade
Maalik Murphy, Junipero Sierra (CA). Relatively new to Texas talks. Really seems to like the Sark hire. Bigger kid at 6’4 225 and, from the little film I’ve watched, can sling it. Doesn’t have much film due to no CA fall football. Ranked #30 prospect and #2 Pro QB. 5* - .9843 247 composite grade
Conner Weigman, Bridgeland. Only dual threat linked to Texas talks. Might not be what Sark is looking for but who knows. Smaller frame at 6’1 205. Others probably know more about him than me. Ranked #93 overall prospect and #5 Dual QB. 4* - .9606 247 composite grade
Cade Klubnik, Westlake. Saw the kid go blow for blow with Ewers and win a state title, his 2nd in a row. I believe he’s an aggy legacy but doesn’t seem like a lock to anyone. 247 lists him at 6’2.5 178. Ranked #155 prospect and #6 Pro QB. 4* - .9387 247 composite grade
The best situation is an Ewers re-flip but what are preferences if he doesn’t? Other guys that aren’t on the radar yet?Klubnik's brother played WR at Yale so no reason to assume that they are a hard-core Aggie family.

That’s crazy. How does a guy get DMVP in 2 state championship games and not have 3 stars? Is it just his size? Or are those the only two games he played well in?Dude has been outstanding throughout HS. It's probably his measurables, as he doesn't have great size or that blazing speed. He is one of those guys who's real smart and is in the right place at the right time. He is the kind that used to get recruited by Kansas State when they were good. He does have terrific hands.

Well, how can that be true, when the usual suspects here were all picking North Shore (someone even picked North Shore by 21, lol) and Max Preps had North Shore favored by a single point?
Not sure who the Kate is being referred to. Will this Kate do?

Max Preps had both our Chaps and North Shore in their top ten national rankings. They listed NS favored by one point the week before the game. It wasn’t too much of an upset.

I read the college talk on this thread to my wife and she is laughing aloud. Y’all are posting some funny, funny stuff so keep it up. I’ve just had two Sockeye Red IPA’s from Alaska’s Midnight Sun Brewery*** (which is AMAZING) so now I have some random, alcohol-addled, triggered thoughts:
My wife says ALL colleges have pretty girls so stop making comparisons. I agree.*
Fuck Quinn Ewers and fuck Dallas new-money pussies. He must have thought he was playing some other sissy, bleached-hair Dallas team in the state final. We gave him a nice beat-down.
Fuck Turtle Tom for wasting snaps on Kai Money and fuck the UT PR machine for trying to create a human interest story out of that bullshit. Did you know Bijan only caught five more passes than Kai Money? If you’re reading this, Kai, more power to you. This is about idiot Turtle. If you’re reading this Turtle, go fuck yourself.**
I’m a proud UT grad but GTFO with that talk about a UT diploma being anywhere close to Yale.
To the guy complaining about Yale talk on the recruiting thread, I would say go fuck yourself, but I think I gave you a horns up on your post. Hey, I said this was ramblings.
*I shot videos for a sorority at another college last summer. And fuck you, no pics. I’m a happily married man and father, but dang.
**Go fuck yourself, Turtle Tom.
***I was hoping the ABV was really high to justify this post but I just checked: 5.7%

Michael Taffe is a classic Westlake player. He’s undersized for D1 and needs to bulk up. He’s a terrific athlete and was voted the MVP Defensive player in the state championship game TWO years in a row! He picked off Ewers TWICE in the title game and one of those was that crazy one-handed catch that pretty much sealed the game. Playing for Todd Dodge, he’s become a very smart player ( Chaps play smarter than Horns #sorrynotsorry) and being that Dodge is way smarter than idiot Turtle Tom, he was also played WR and made some really key TD’s late in the season including a TD catch against North Shore and the long pass play catch that set up the winning TD. Dude could be a good contributor by his sophomore or junior year.

I once had a GF who was a grad student at Yale. When I would visit her on campus, I was very impressed w the talent there. FYI, not everyone who attends Ivy League schools is a really smart, bookish type. Some folks just come from really wealthy families who happily donate to build new libraries, etc. In a related but unrelated thought, I used to work in NY w many Ivy League grads, and I was often surprised at how stupid they were.
As the Chaps come first for me, (neg me) I was surprised and slightly disappointed to hear that Minors flipped to UT. With his speed, dude would really have fun in the Ivy League. This year, he took it to the house from 70 yards+ twice on the first play of the game, including the state championship. He does have a very slight frame, which may have limited his D1 recruitment. He has good hands and looked really fast even against North Shore. Speaking of NS, I sure wish we could get Banks to flip from Aggie. That dude is legit.Sorry for the ramblings. Best of luck to Zane Minors and he may become a weapon under Sark.

Unless there was more than the segment I saw, he said, "everyone go to the other side of the Capitol, that's where Trump's going to be." It could be that there was easier access for entry on that side, however, based on his words on the video--he could easily say he was encouraging people to simply go and support Trump. No lawyer, but as a casual observer of the attorney's on this thread, I'mma say it is too general. Hell, more than half of the US is letting the President of the United States skate by and he was the one directly benefiting from this coup.
Thanks. I misunderstood his words. I used to find him somewhat amusing but ever since he has contributed to the harassment of the parents who lost children in Sandy Hook, I want that POS put away for good.

Lots of crazy shit on the embedded video, including Ms. Ryan saying some even stronger things that she admitted to.

WOW. I saw Alex Jones denying that he had anything to do with the Capitol invasion, but in the video posted above, he is clearly standing on a podium speaking into a bullhorn and advising people how to gain entry into the Capitol building! Can any lawyers out there comment on whether he be charged w aiding and abetting the terrorists?

Sucks that two awful fuck ups is what he’ll be remembered for because he was pretty solid otherwise. Dude lost 2 fumbles his entire time here and that’s gonna be his legacy.
When did this story drop? I feel like the UT social media dept. dropped the ball on this one.

Thread title still makes me smile every time it's bumped to the top.
For me, the firing was somewhat unsatisfying. Along with the obscene buyout, I wanted a very public, humiliating event. Getting fired in the tunnel following the Alamo Bowl, at a press conference, etc, would have been far more rewarding.

Very true. The lack of MILFs is inexcusable. While technically not a MILF, does this help?
