  1. If you look at the last 3-4 classes it sure looks like we didn't bring in enough HS OL. I suspect they intended to go to the portal this last offseason like they did in years past for a couple guys, but I don't remember any starter quality portal OL this year -- at least ones that didn't portal straight to another school. Maybe the staff got caught assuming they would have some options but those never materialized? (I don't think its a bad strategy assuming there are good portal options every year, because then you don't have to spend years on development and some of those won't work out anyway). Whatever the reason, the OL room is a huge concern not just this year but going forward as you mention. (oops meant as a reply to @Newy25)
  2. Is White Settlement too obvious?
  3. Whittington for one
  4. Has it been pointed out that he’s on pace for a 1,000 yard receiving season
  5. If he needs help I hope he gets it if it was a prank, dumbass kid just put himself on the list for the rest of his life
  6. He’s obviously not the best #13 in Longhorns history . . . Yet
  7. Maybe the geography experts can tell us if it’s further from Barrow to B/CS or Fayetteville
  8. I’m not going to post a photo of the paragraph from their handout that addresses floods, but that’s correct. Essentially - stay in cabins unless a counselor or camp personnel say otherwise
  9. You betta Belize there aint nothin better than the sargasso cook-off. Any permit??
  10. Memorial to the deceased, public park/swimming hole, but don't bulldoze anything. Leave the cabins/camp as shrines for people to leaves notes and such for the departed.
  11. Speculation from a seat close to the action -- I think that there will be a lawsuit that many but not all victim families will join, but those involved will have the discretion to settle for policy limits + the camp itself. Which then should be made into a memorial/park/swimming hole.
  12. They are pretty intact although they were inundated almost to the ceiling. The inundation itself wasnt the problem. The river crested pretty rapidly, filling up the cabins, and then fell rapidly and the water draining out of the cabins sucked all the remaining girls out the doors and windows.
  13. These aren't lake houses, they are river houses on hill country rivers well-known to flash flood. Yes, everybody wants to be on the water. On a lake, great. But on a river like that its not that fucking hard to figure it out. We know a lot about geology and hydrology and meteorology in this day and age. The evidence is all over the place of what has happened before -- water shaped all the river valleys. There are no lakes above that location to catch floodwaters. NPR said the other day the the Guad was the most deadly river in the U.S. It should not surprise anyone that this would happen eventually.
  14. Now that I've cooled down, its true that there are a sprinkling of kids at these summer camps that come from extreme privilege, but for the vast majority it is a generational tradition and is filled with ranch girls and others from self-made, pillar-of-the-community families
  15. no. The camp is haunted. It should become a memorial
  16. The parents of all the other campers I know are the same, highly involved with their children
  17. I have coached every team my kids have played on. In fact I've basically been Mr. Mom for a couple years. Wife is a surgeon. I didn't have a part in the decision to send our daughter to Mystic. My wife went there and met all of her best friends there. All their daughters were there. Thankfully ours survived but not all of them did. Try again.
  18. Stop with this shit. “My guess” is hilariously wrong. I don’t want to get in a pissing match and I don’t want to tell the story now but my daughter was there and I just spent the following 4 days out there with about a dozen of the other campers of all ages/cabins.
  19. And when you’re coming off a great first season as HC and have NIL aligned behind you
  20. Can I poop in someone else’s hand this time?
  21. Borba sucks ass. Quit looking at season stats you nerds. He was pathetic in important situations. (As were Gaspo and Flores down the stretch) I think a healthy A Rod could make us proud at 3b
  22. With other forms of air defense not cutting it against drone swarms, I bet the Ukrainians roll out interceptor drones they design/produce domestically before we know it
