  1. How is Billy doing? Been busy with work with no chance to sit down to see his propaganda
  2. Didn’t have to focus on conditioning and actual football stuff at the same time. Or at the least the conditioning you have to go through in August before full pads to get you back in shape. You would still do some lifting and running though. I’m glad the UIL did the right thing a few years ago and allowed Coaches to organize and operate summer workouts. Now because school start dates are creeping up to firdt full week in August they need to start Two a Days on the last Monday of July. Some are not even getting a full week of two a days in and coaches have to divide their time between getting their classrooms ready and football. Used to be those who taught would get in at least two or more weeks before classroom prep and in services began.
  3. Women’s Beach Volleyball is disappointing.
  4. They named a bread after us white boys from the RGV? LOL! I always kind of laughed when someone called me that.
  5. I recall when I was teen back in the mid 80's taking a flight from Dallas Love to Harlingen and upon approach to Harlingen it seemed like we were flying just above cotton fields not far from the ground for a significant distance before landing. I made a remark to passenger next to me and he just kind of laughed and said something to the effect that most of SWA pilots were former military and that was nothing for them. But that was then and this is now where software has taken over more of the cockpit and pilots are not necessarily being turned out in large numbers from the Air Force and Navy like they were during the Cold War era. Oh and Boeing planes kind of have issues too...
  6. That will 2060 and most of us will be dead. Just guess based on how long I-35 projects take.
  7. A rebuild at the current location might be the best solution. I don’t know if you totally have to demo and start from scratch? Or we can do like some have done with their football/baseball stadium projects and build off the existing bones. Where in vicinity to the University is an available parcel of land that could both accommodate a new baseball and softball facility? And really I don’t know how you can even renovate the existing softball facility without a total teardown in order to rival some of the more recent softball stadium builds such as OUSux. That might take a much larger parcel of land regardless. Maybe now a mistake in hindsight allowing the new student housing to be built adjacent to the softball field.
  8. They will never do this. Since the Houston Chronicle is still regarded as a major sports media outlet in Texas and their sports department is populated with aggy, they can and will keep on pumping crap unquestioned to their sources. And now they employ a former Longhorn hater who was employed by the AAS up until a few weeks ago. When aggy resumes coming in behind us in not just football but other sports, screams will get loud and laughable. They can’t blame themselves because they’ve spent or will be spending a butt load of money on facilities. And of course they’ve done to same with some of the coaching hires. It’s surprising they didn’t try to blame us for Jimbo failing. Maybe I missed it?
  9. We just need the Longhorn Network back on Cable providers to helps us accomplish this.
  10. And print up t shirt for both games
  11. 2027? Will A&I (still can’t call them TAMUK) have a D2 program by then? Enrollment has declined and Collie Station seems to be aiming most of its efforts on its system schools towards Tarleton and the San Antonio campus. Plus the local leadership down there seems to have put football facility upgrades a low priority item.
  12. Certainly aggy or Tech could fill that opening.
  13. What does the other half drink? Natty Light?
  14. From my recollection of past storms and reading up on some of the historic weather events in the state. Most of the serious flood events in Central Texas and the Hill Country comimg from landfalling storms usually enter Texas around Corpus and even down south to the border. They hit and usually go North to Northwest . One of the models a few weeks ago that is favored by the forecasters had this thing hitting south of Corpus and going right up I-37 to San Antonio which would’ve dumped a lot of rain in the Hii Country watersheds. Sucks a part of the state that is going to get this rain really doesn’t need it and the runoff goes straight to the Gulf.
  15. I’m in Wimberley and not rushing home to board up.
  16. If that’s the case, I can’t think of another place better for Trev. If a guy with a jet pack shows up for pre game at Collie Station for their opener against, indeed he is Steve Paterson 2.0.
  17. I’m still trying to figure out why aggy hired him. Even in his bio aggy has on their website. Other than fundraising for Nebraska’s stadium renovation and getting rid Nebraska-Omaha’s football program to comply to Title IX , nothing shows he was a knock out hire. I guess his hire of Matt Rhule will show fruit this season if it follows how Rhule did at Baylor.
  18. aggy always projects what they are on others.
  19. Don’t bust up the aggy narrative now….
  20. Because Big 10 Baseball is going to suck? Just a guess. I mean at least in the PAC 12 Washington could leave the damp and cold Seattle area to play Arizona, ASU, Stanford , USC, UCLA and Utah in a warmer climate. Now they get to go to Ann Arbor and freeze their nuts off in late April. PAC 12 baseball was already down before the conference shut its doors save for WSU and OSU who remain. The BIG 10 is going to do nothing to improve those baseball programs. Those who jumped to the Big 12 might be in a better position though, but even Arizona State who used to be a regular at Omaha has been MIA
  21. No they really believe that. My neighbor is a an aggy donor and just last weekend was insisting they had the cash to get the ballpark renovations done and write Schloss a check to keep him in Collie Station. He hasn’t spoken to me since then. lol.
  22. Bevo has a new shovel and bucket! Gone is the OU bucket. Maybe it comes back from time to time and Red River Rivalry?
  23. The fact this guy has so much pull in Collie Station is why they are the Titanic about to hit the iceberg right now. Or have they already hit it and the ship is sinking but they don’t know it yet?
