  1. Random fun trivia that some of you prob know: In WW2, a Japanese pilot tried to make a crash landing in the Aleutians, but snapped his neck on landing. The plane, a Mitsubishi Zero, was perfectly intact and the US was able to salvage it, fly it, and learn it capabilities. This allowed the US to develop the fabulous Grumman Hellcat, which quickly became a nemesis to the Zero.
  2. AND PEOPLE ARE OPENLY SHARING SECRET TEXAS SCHEMES AND FORMATIONS IN THE QUINN EWERS THREAD!
  3. Hey, guys, please take this conversation to an encrypted platform. You are sharing PROPRIETARY LONGHORN COACHING STRATEGY on an OPEN FORUM and several of our posters, like @6th Street, cannot be trusted.
  4. New York Times article: 6 Classic College Football Towns to Visit "Go for the energy of the mascots, marching bands and touchdown cheers, but don’t miss the museums, art, nightlife and more that make these places special." Tuscaloosa Ann Arbor Boulder Norman Austin South Bend Apparently, the commie, pedophile homeless crackheads at the NY Times have never been to The Station https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/30/travel/6-classic-college-football-towns-to-visit.html
  5. I ran into him at Westlake a few years back. He was coaching a 7 on 7 team. Nice guy.
  6. No. I don't consider a QB who took us to the playoffs last year and is 2-1 against OU a bust. David Ash never achieved anything worth mentioning,
  7. Ash came in with very high expectations and for whatever reasons, did not meet those expectations. Injuries, while unfortunate, can be included in reasons players can be busts.
  8. Ash most certainly deserves to be on that list. His results at Texas were extremely mediocre. 4 years. 31 TDs. 18 INTs. And the fact that Gilbert got better after he left Texas is irrelevant to my point.
  9. I agree with all the complaints about Quinn Ewers. He isn't up to our 'standard': 2010 Garrett Gilbert 2012 Case McCoy 2013 David Ash 2014 Tyrone Swoopes 2015 Jerrod Heard 2017 Shane Buechele 2021 Hudson Card 2021 Casey Thompson
  10. And screw you, Elko! How dare you trash MY BELOVED JIMBO FISHER. I'm coming for you now. LEAVE JIMBO ALONE! "This is a real program. It’s not fake," Elko said after a win that positioned the Aggies (7-1) alone atop the SEC standings. "It’s not a politician running this program, talking fast and BS’ing everybody. This is a real program."
  11. Fair enough. Maybe it's not her, but we don't need to see the whole story when a woman is screaming in the face of a little child. It's just unhinged. But I like to think its an Aggy thing to do.
  12. We've seen crazy from Aggies but this may be a new level. Proud Texas A&M grad Jorden Bowen at Houston political rally screaming. "I don't give a fuck. Your dad is a bitch." at a little child! The dad picked up the girl to protect her and and woman in the black shirt intervened to shut down the verbal assault. Unfortunately for poor Jorden, she has been seriously doxxed and can now will suffer a large amount of harassment. Whoop!
  13. I contend that it's a valid comparison. Both programs start their kids in the high school play calling system at Pop Warner, so huge numbers of kids are already learning the plays. Plus, this means you have a much larger group of wealthy families contributing money to the program, even when they don't have kids on the team. Couple all this with the high number of former athletes who live in Lake Travis and you should have a huge advantage at LT. The fact that Westlake has owned them for the past seven seasons is amazing.
  14. East Texas coach suspended for season and gets two years of probation for illegally taping other teams games. https://kicks105.com/uil-palestine-westwood-verdict/
  15. There is no way Westlake should have beaten LT in football. LT has a huge commitment from the school district and over 4,500 more students in the district than Westlake. They way out-gained Westlake, and were done in by stupid mistakes. Westlake coaches are the difference. I wonder when LTISD decides Coach Carter should maybe 'pursue other opportunities?'
  16. All great info, thanks. I used to be friends w the great Mike Quick, who was the UT swim coach during some of their greatest runs. He once told me that some of his most talented and gifted swimmers never panned out. He said some of them had never lost a race, and it was traumatic for them to get to UT and encounter teammates and opponents who could beat them. It messed with their psyche and they were unwilling to put in the work to get back to the top level. Being a grinder can pay off. Taaffe is definitely a good example of someone who had the work ethic. I don't think it can take him to the next level but we shall see.
  17. I didn't ask the more interesting question. Instead of asking why late bloomers happen, I should have asked why sure-thing players don't pan out. Perhaps D'Onta continued to grow and probably had a great work ethic, but his brother was supposed to be an NFL prospect but didn't amount to much. Was it a factor of attitude and playing for shitty QB's that did him in? Curious about your thoughts.
  18. More funnest. Not funnest, which isn’t a word
  19. Good has defeated evil 7 out of the last 8 games.
