Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
horn4life replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
How awesome would it be to clandestinely put in that old chemical into the pool of one of our rivals pool parties that provides a bright blue chemical reaction to urine. Now THAT is a prank truly worthy operation for some undergrads! Hell get the science department involved, and maybe we can make pee purple in Baton Rouge, Maroon in College Station, and on and on. I can just see the billows coming from some hot hooker-type coed... and the side eye of all the attending recruits... -

I agree with most everything you said, but I still like to retort, "You mean Low SAT University?" When I hear someone try to pump LSU. The one thing I think will be universal in the SEC, is that coming to Austin for an away game will be the single hottest ticket for every team in the SEC. Period. -

Apparently they used their jizz jar to grease the wheels and avoid the death sentence like SMU. But that's a lot of mouth to jar transfer... -
My Dad wanted some brats of all things for his 92nd birthday. We had done some killer dogs/sausages copying a place called Dat Dog in new Orleans a few years back, but my Dad wanted something simple. He actually wanted a tortilla (as is the proper way, with mustard). But I looked up gourmet hot dogs to get some inspiration and there is some new chain entering Austin called Dog Haus, and they use Hawaiian rolls for all their buns. So that became the option for everyone, rather than the tortillas. Turned out pretty damn good, as I love Hawaiian rolls anyhow. We always do Hawaiian rolls with our rib eye roasts, but I think I have a new bun for a leftover philly next go round! Just a simple Brat with Sauerkraut and mustard. But damn it was delicious!

Haha! Sorry to play in your sand box...

I am actually most curious about why Pulisic has spent so much time injured. About 80% of the time it's simply trying to come back too soon. Because... you want to play. Or is he simply not durable? Anyhow he's either in the early twilight of his international career, or about to show what he can do healthy. He needs a new home as Chelsea is a fucking mess and has been for a while. Despite the amazing coaching... 😉

Maybe they all got fired because they didn't properly play Pulisic? 😉

I had two oversize tires on my F150 blow on the same trip to Port A years ago. Tore the shit out of the side of the truck, and I am still thankful for the guy in Cuero you gave me the spare off an old truck at 7pm on a Sunday night. Got me home and I dropped it off next trip back with some money that he wouldn't take initially tied to it. With two tires fubar I would have been screwed trying to get back to Austin. They were BF Goodrich TA Radials and I got them to pick up a new set because of the failure and damage. There basically is no guarantee, and that's why you try to safeguard as best you can, and always keep tools. I always have an impact driver, but it's not top of the line, in torque pounds. More to get my stabilizers quickly up and down. I keep a big breaker bar and a spare socket that will usually take care of it. But like I said before, I usually break all the bolts loose and re-torque once a year, simply because I mostly go to the coast, and the coast can rust shit solid. Reminds me I need to get some of that blue thread lock to put on. Supposedly it can help prevent corrosion on the threads. Which would make sense I guess in just coating the threads?

Bummer on the flat. My single biggest concern is that one of the tire blows and detreads and I am sitting on the side of the road trying to get enough leverage on the spinning wheel where the tire once was to remove the lug nuts. My solution was under $30 from Amazon. It's not perfect, and I think I just kept the factory settings, but it gives me a pretty accurate pressure reading on all four trailer tires. The unit runs off solar or off USB for power. It gives me an alert if high or low pressure. Won't save me from having the flat, but will let me know earlier in the process so I am not dealing with a white hot tire, or wheel I cannot get off. That reminds me I need to break all my lug nuts loose and retighten. Have not done that since the coast last Fall. It can be annoying sometimes when I have not set it correctly, repeating high pressure, but that just prompts me to visually check all 4 tire pressures with the monitor on the dash. Only replacement part is the little batteries for the wheel sensors. For $30 this cheapie tire pressure monitoring system TPMS is a cheap safeguard to perhaps letting you deal with the issue before it's a mess. Amazon TPMS $30 link

I hope Pulisic doesn't have the nagging injury issues he had at Chelsea, and I think got on the wrong side of things emotionally with the coach. So hopefully Milan is a fresh start for him. What Pulisic needs more than anything on the pitch is space. He's not a thick guy so he is undersized against even back line player he faces. He's also quicker than most he faces, and that's his advantage, but he only has it in space to use that speed. When you are dinged in the least, that size disadvantage and potential to additionally tweak an injury when trying to use the speed advantage are exacerbated IMHO. I could actually see Pulisic playing as an high attacking mid on the left. Depending on who is playing in front of him. There his speed might allow him to close the gap very quickly moving towards the goal disrupting the defenders. But he needs a little space to do this. If he is in that gap attacking then a defender will be forced to engage him, releasing from his marked player. Pulisic is pretty darn good about being unselfish, and his gap closing speed is probably more valuable to the players he would pass to, rather than him specifically being the danger. If they don't come out he gets off a shot. I wish he was a bit thicker, but then he might lose some of that speed. And a lot of folks wished Messi were taller, you get what you get. Mainly I want hime to get more minutes on the field. And if I am him, I don't give a shit where you play me, if I am standing on the pitch on game day.

Actually age of consent in Alabama is 16... of course pursuing the 16 year old daughter of a guy named Waterboarder might come with some consequences...

What I love about this thread is how easily the aggie mindset regarding Texas is transferable to so many different color BBS boards. Mirror images of the same arguments, especially the "we didn't want them" BS. It's fucking comical! -
Change will only come when there is enough pressure on Republicans in rural states. Which will only happen when they lose Republican seats in more and more moderate states. I still do not understand why the Democrats to not label every singe Assault style shooting involving body armor as a Republican endorsed mass shooting. Let those fucks answer some questions and defend against a real political attack. It's the only way to counter the "they dems are coming to take your guns" that the Republicans use very effectively despite the dishonestly of the assertion. At least in the potential Dem attack, there is larger degree of honesty.

I've wondered about goose Island, at I thought it might be a good place to have my buddy that I fish Port O'Conner with. Do they have full hookups? Or electric and a dump station? I probably still prefer the beach too much. Does anyone anchor their boat in the bay and just wade out to it? Assuming there are no boat slips nearby? But I bet a chunk of ladyfish would eventually bring in an oversize red eventually. Willie is looking for the red of which I speak!

Towel is better than nothing! It can sort of help you compact the sand if you are gentle enough with the rocking. Good thing is about a towel if you think you can make it out you just haul ass and leave it behind. My hillbilly engineer brain also says think about yanking your floor mats out and using those for traction pads in an emergency. (or your kid's lego mat! 😉 )

Doesn't anybody have enough smarts to get on your hands and knees and dig yourself out? I always carry a shovel, but hell I would dig my ass out with my hands if I needed to. I remember a few years back I screwed up and ran my old Expedition too deep off the beach nest to the Packery Channel. I only had two wheel drive and I was basically the last guy fishing the jetty on an offseason weekday. But I remained calm and did the old back and forth, just a couple inches at a time at first, then a foot or so until finally I had a couple feet of compacted sand that I could use to gain a wee bit of momentum to get my ass out. But that last goose of the accelerator is the death nail, that only lets you spend more time digging. That sand looks pretty loose, and if the entrance clogs up it's a disaster, as more and more folks are forced to stop and lose momentum with more and more getting stuck. Hope it High tide!

We did decent on Trout in Port O'Conner a couple weeks ago and this was the outcome, but somehow I forgot to take pics of the trout almondine Just deep fried mix of cornbread and flower with some slaw and dukes tarter sauce Panko pan fried with clarified butter, dirty rice, and zucchini, homemade Remoulade and tarter Blackened in butter/evoo mixture with the sauce mix Blackened trout with crab cakes. Amazing how great freshly caught fish is, using clarified butter, or a cheat of butter and oil oil to raise the burning point makes such a big difference when pan frying.

That's why you will never see me at the coast on 4th of July, Memorial nor Labor Day weekends. Hell I barely like the weekdays with all the Yahoos. I actually sort of enjoyed a trip to Port O'Conner a few weeks ago now that they have a few places open to provide me food and drink after 9 pm. And not near the pressure on the bay during the week as Port A. I need to go down and do a Port A weekday trip before too long when the wind lays down a little, mon-wed are the best days in Port A right now.

Always funny to me how many "coachable moments" these matches have. My constant preaching to my mids and wings was to be on the backside of the cross. It simply provides easy opportunities simply by anticipating the easily anticipatable, a ball that skitters though the middle. And the fact that every defender, especially the keeper is making a 180 degree turn, makes a simple pass to the net often more than enough for a goal. Also the simple preferred technique of striking a cross in front of the goal with the trailing foot rather than the leading foot. You simply have a LOT less chance of whiffing in front of the goal with the trailing foot, regardless of dominant foot. It was an error i had to correct for myself as a player. I can't remember who had the whiff in front of the goal, but nearly any firm contact from the trailing foot results in a shot on the frame. (maybe Roldan?) The one thing I do like specifically about Ferriera is his sense of urgency in that he strikes the ball the first chance he gets. That one extra touch is the bane of opportunity, crack it the first chance you get inside the box, period. As usually the shot is gone with that extra adjustment touch. This is why players should devote a considerable amount of time to striking half volleys and volleys with their bodies over the ball to keep it low enough to stay on frame. it's the difference between a dangerous shot, and the controlling touch that removes the shot opportunity most of the time. The biggest flash to me in the game was when Crowell came in. It could have been the result of fresh legs, or his less than stellar prior minutes, but he came on and did what a sub up top is supposed to do, make an impact. His successful one on ones early, created some opportunity and he also took the shot at the first opportunity. Fun to see the youngsters getting some quality playing time. Jalen Neal generally played well on defense, but he was outsmarted by allowing the offensive player to turn his body because of his greater physicality and move him from between him and the goal. The foul was the right thing to do, but experience and physical maturity will only make this kid better over time. I give the game a grade of B+, mainly because I felt the intensity wane at times. Especially at the start of the second half, where if you are up by three and you match the early intensity you can usually break the morale of the team that's down simply by dashing their early hopes by matching their frenetic desperate early second half intensity trying to get back into the game.

It's not only boats now! I think that our ratio of being stopped when running up and down the channel by the game wardens is about 60%. Never had any issues except in the main channel from the jettys to Aransas Pass. They are looking very closely, enforcing having the kill switch lanyard being physically attached to the driver. It's just a new emphasis according to my Lake Patrol Sheriff buddy, saying they are specifically looking for it a lot more. The biggest change in enforcement to me now is the addition of the ATV patrolling wardens on the beach. I actually forgot last September that my license had expired, and waited until the next morning to buy a paper license rather than he instant online one. A couple hours later I was talking with the game wardens. If you don't want to buy a license, don't fish, or simply go to a state park where you do not need a license to fish. But I must say I do mind when they start poking around in all my shit without at least a cursory asking permission. But if you are fishing on the beach without a license in the area you are very likely to be asked to show your license. Tight lines!

Not a reservation but you can put you name on the wait list at Virginia's on Yelp, to help cut the wait time. Black Marlin also has reservations, and I have had some pretty darn good food there the few times we have gone in. But the get your name on the list at La Playa is always a good suggestion. One thing we have noticed about La Playa is that if you are a fair way back on the list a LOT of folks do not show back up if they are not in the first wave of seating. So sometimes it looks like no hope for hours, and we go by at 6:15 to find we are a lot closer than we thought to being seated.

Honestly I don't like race based admissions, but only because I view poverty to be the criteria that is a better gauge of need. This does not mean there is not institutional racism, and that this is not perhaps most evident in the public school systems of our nation. It is silly to believe that kids from wealthy families do not have a clear advantage over their less wealthy peers. So the playing field is tilted in favor of the wealthy to start with. And in the U.S. wealthy more often than not means white, so there's that. What I am most interested to see if the Supreme court in the future decides that "Legacy admissions" are not a clear violation of the equal protection clause they use to justify this decision? Legacy admissions more than any other type of admission tips the scales away from equity. And you have dumbasses with wealth displacing more meritoriously qualified applicants, because mommy or daddy's parents were legacies of legacies...

The NW Florida coast rip tides are no joke, the much steeper beach break causes a massive amount of energy as the waves wash back. And the rip gaps in the sandbars is also steeper and deeper relative to what you will find nearly anywhere else. Blame the super fine white sand that makes it so beautiful. The other bad thing that tourists do is dive into the waves without knowing that they are breaking in about 6 inches. A few people get paralyzed every year along the panhandles white beaches. They dive straight into the side of the first sandbar and break their necks. I think the count is up to 9 drowings in the last 10 days or something terrible like that. I am a super strong swimmer and they forced me out of the water unless I had a boogie board and fins a couple years ago. But I think it was a single red flag not a double, but super hairy if you were not a super strong swimmer that understands you might get pushed out 100 yards offshore in a matter of 30 seconds. Sad for him and his family.
