  1. Houston just put 500 SRO tickets on sale, if anyone is interested. https://uh.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/SEGetEventInfo?ticketCode=GS%3AHOUSTON%3AF23%3AF05%3A&linkID=houston&shopperContext=&pc=&caller=&appCode=&groupCode=FBSINGLE&cgc=&dataAccId=301&locale=en_US&siteId=ev_houston&utm_medium=email&elq_cid=538024&RSRC=Email&RDAT=594&ehash=ba8f8641815f39f73500d3061f042596d92f00f328a51c7f582e76d2d3ea1e4a
  2. Arkansas OL is just blowing away the Alabama DL in the 4th quarter.
  3. I know Mel Kiper isn't the end all be all, but as a data point, he has Brooks as the #3 RB in the draft right now. It isn't a foregone conclusion that Brooks is a day 3 pick. Running backs 1. Audric Estime, Notre Dame 2. Blake Corum, Michigan 3. Jonathon Brooks, Texas 4. TreVeyon Henderson, Ohio State 5. Donovan Edwards, Michigan 6. Braelon Allen, Wisconsin 7. Trey Benson, Florida State 8. MarShawn Lloyd, USC 9. Ray Davis, Kentucky 10. Roman Hemby, Maryland
  4. I watched it. Stanford kept running the same slant to that one receiver - literally 3/4 times in a row - for 8-10 yards/pop. Colorado has a DB (Stoudemire?) that can't cover anyone, so to change it up Stanford would pick on him. Colorado made no adjustments on defense. Early in the 4th quarter Stanford was down 10 and, after a penalty, faced something like 3rd and 18 and got stuffed, but Hunter got (legitimately) flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after overreacting to a Stanford WR blocking downfield - automatic first down and Stanford scored a key TD a few plays later. Colorado had a chance to ice the game up 3 with 5 minutes left. They got a few first downs and made Stanford use 2 timeouts. On 3rd and 3ish near midfield, Sanders absolutely airmailed a wide open Hunter for a gimmie first down, causing them to punt and letting Stanford keep their last time out. The Sanders kid who is a safety loves to show up his teammates. He is constantly yelling, pointing, acting exasperated any time a pass is completed on someone. I bet that goes over well. Colorado seems like a classic front running team. When things are easy everyone is happy and they can roll. But if they get punched back they turn selfish, panic, lose focus - their defense couldn't properly substitute the entire second half. Soooo many flags for illegal substitution.
  5. Isn't Ryan Williams going to reclassify to 2024? I am choosing to believe - without any semblance of knowledge, logic, or reason - that Wingo going Mizzou means Williams is flipping to Texas.
  6. Did Vasek get some snaps last Saturday? If so I missed it, still haven't watched the broadcast of the game or even highlights. no, Vasek didn't see any game action, which is why it was odd the OU guy came running up on him as soon as the final whistle blew. I'm guessing lingering hurt feelings over the decommit? I have no idea.
  7. OU was doing a ton of taunting on the field after the game. I'm not sure how much of it made tv. #12 came right up to Vasek and got in his face, with Vasek giving a half shove/half punch to get the guy out of his face. A few guys were trying to start something with DJ Campbell, and OU staffer was in the middle of a group instigating. For a while I wasn't sure if all hell was going to break loose (especially with Campbell), but thankfully nothing sparked. The players will remember that the next time they play.
  8. seeing the chart made me double check the recording. I was at the game and was looking for Mitchell in garbage time. I thought I was watching him for two plays. TV confirmed it was actually 98, Trill Carter instead of 99, Sydir Mitchell. Mea culpa.
  9. I'm reading this thread with great interest - thank you to all who have taken the time to contribute. My kids are in middle school, so this is coming up quick and I'm absorbing as much as I can. One variable I am curious about, and would love to hear y'all's opinions on - what do you make of the upcoming demographic decline in the number of children (especially in the 2008-2014 years) and the overall decline in college enrollment post COVID? I'm guessing demand at top notch schools will always be there, but it seems at some point the lack of numbers in the overall pipeline has to have some cascading effects. I'll hang up and listen.
  10. Burke is also really good at reading those quick throws to the perimeter and tracking the ball with his hands. He just barely missed a few deflections. I think QB's misjudge his wingspan. As he continues to grow and get experience I think we'll see a lot of deflections and maybe the occasional INT.
  11. that was legitimately one of the handful of best episodes of any show I've ever seen. The confluence of writing and acting was flawless and note perfect. Honestly, if somehow that episode was instead a stand alone movie short, I'd say it was Oscar worthy.
  12. Free again this year. The wait for the games (darts, the rolling ball horse game thing, etc) isn't so bad. Not sure about the Ferris wheel/climbing wall, etc. I'm hoping to stop by the tailgate. It depends on long my kids are entertained by Smokey's Midway.
  13. https://texassports.com/sports/football/schedule/2023 listed as a 6:30pm start on the texas sports page. I marked it in my calendar when it was announced a few months ago. I'd go ahead and lock down that hotel.
  14. so is Texas Tech the day after Thanksgiving.
  15. Catalon had complications from a shoulder surgery he had at Arkansas and was non contact during spring practice. He is a full go for fall camp. Practice is at 2:45 today, for all those looking to modulate any cravings for updates.
  16. I haven't seen anything official, but I'd hold open the evening of 8/15.
  17. to be fair, I had no issue with Lame's editing of the film. When I said I felt Nolan needs an editor, I meant his screenwriting. Apologies for my poor communication.
