No one knows anything. Kendall Rogers is running his mouth and some posters on various boards, but that's it. Hell, Pierce is still the HC as of now. Get a fucking grip. O'Sullivan has won a title and been to the CWS like 9 of the last 14 years. If that doesn't impress, you cannot be impressed. Bobby is part of the wise outside counsel that CDC seeks on a regular basis. The idea that he "knows nothing" is fucking absurd. He's the closest thing this board and longhorn baseball fans have to knowing anything right now. Even the other regular guys who often seem to know stuff are compromised because their sources would be completely excluded from the process as those sources are mostly guys with kids on the team or friends with the coaching staff.

Wait, you think someone agreeing with me causes the board to lose its shit? Or did you just attempt a sick burn poorly? I think you should have posted something clever like "... NOT!!" after that first part to really bring it home.

Yeah, that's just made up out of whole cloth.

I don't remember that. Must have been a slow period for clicks and views or something. The biggest non-story of this cycle will be flipping that player from SMU. The bigger deal there is why in the fuck we are stooping to that level of talent reach in the first place. Two things happened with this post. The first is that you quoted the spider2y dipshit and I read what he wrote and agreed with it, which caused this to happen: And second, I found myself wondering if I'd been time-warped back to the Hornfans recruiting board, circa 2000. Christ. North Shore has been fool's gold in recruiting for the better part of a decade. Outside of Chaisson and a guard that went to Bama (kind of decent), every highly touted recruit from there has been a scorching bust.

Is there some side to that discussion other than the fact that beans should never be in anything called "chili"? Now I'm scared to go find the chili thread.

Top 10 List of Hot Button Subjects That Cause Surly Regulars To Flip Their Shit: 1) Mention to tourists asking for Austin food input that Salt Lick is a fun place to take kids for BBQ. 2) Declare that the Director's Cup is meaningless. 3) Defend David Pierce. 4) Question Dart Bowl enchiladas and their revered peer set, the school district trash and Enchiladas Y Mas. 5) Side with someone on any non-political subject who is known for being a CR regular with unpopular opinions. 6) Have Derka feel slighted in a thread. 7) Post something from Geoff Ketchum. 8 ) Question Rodney Terry's value for the future of UT Basketball. 9) Post a picture of a woman who isn't 40 at the time of the photo on the "Women Over 40" thread. 10) Tell the Left-Behinders that the Big 12 won't be getting any sort of raise in their next round of negotiations.

You think Gerry is getting excited about the decommitment of an SMU commit? Seems very unlikely.

There are plenty of clean texmex restaurants scattered all over this great state that do not cause one to feel like they immediately need to wash their hands upon entry. That restaurant makes taco trucks look clean. For Dart Bowl, I'm guessing if you lined up 50 of us who are unbiased by nostalgia, gave us a sample of the exact recipe, the collective vote would be something akin to "sure, these are fine" versus all of the lust espoused on this thread for them from the boomers. As to the physical challenge of beating someone's ass, look, man, I've read your posts for decades. I'd just start pontificating about the horrors of the world we live in and you'd immediately hit the floor and start bawling. Two hit fight. But if you want to buy me a plane ticket and draw a crowd, I'm all for it and then I could also hit up some Bird Bird Biscuit before leaving town. Public speaking does work up my appetite.

The odds favor him being another North Shore bust. I’ll stick with that even if somehow he and Texas have a meeting of the minds. North Shore is a prospect shithole and not worth the time, money and effort.

I went out of my way to go there in May while in town, based off of the recs from this thread. The restaurant itself is a hovel and obviously a roach motel. The clientele were fatties and poors, mostly wearing t-shirts, cutoffs, tank tops and flip flops. There was a line with people waiting outside who mostly stank of BO and urine. The chips and salsa were excellent. The enchiladas were tough but otherwise tasted fine. The margaritas were mediocre, as was the queso and service. It’s basically a middle of the road greasy spoon that apparently is situated near some posters’ houses who don’t get around to other texmex shops much. It would be like a Houstonian pushing Spanish Flowers or one of 50 taquerias. In conclusion, I wouldn’t rec or go again and I now question the foodie rundowns on this board. I’m guessing Dart Bowl and the San Antonio school district enchiladas or whatever the fuck are also overrated in memory due to boomer nostalgia.

On occasion while wearing longhorn gear, I've said "howdy" when meeting someone or saying a simple greeting. Have said and heard that my whole life as a greeting. More than once, I've had an aggie attempt to correct me on the usage of the term, as though proprietary. I mock them harshly until they regret saying anything and scurry back off in the direction from which they came.

They will take Fasusi over Rogers all day long and there is a zero percent chance that they would turn Brooks away. Brooks, Fasusi, Mills and the 3 commits would be the ideal class. That would be walking in some really high cotton if that happened.

I know reading is hard and all, but the part that included you was a generic murder fantasy. I think more than half of this board has pondered various ways in which they'd like to end you on a sadly regular basis.

Dude, I posted images of that football like a year ago.

If a DT from the southeast, that everyone wants, winds up going to South Carolina for chef training, I will shit a golden chef's hat and set BO&W on fire.

You have a gift for making things about you while being absurdly wrong.

I love it when fans from shithole schools like South Carolina ordain that Texas fans “better show some class”. That school has never done a fucking thing in anything other than women’s hoops and a brief run in baseball. They add nothing to the conference value in brand or general athletic performance, but have the audacity to think they can be a part of handing Texas its apparent marching orders. We have been thrust into the middle of a confederacy of dunces. Should be constant high comedy.

The idiot was invited to speak at the opening ceremonies while the UH coach. He lived in our neighborhood. It wasn’t but about 75-80 degrees, but it was cloudless. Hot enough and bright enough to make standing or sitting directly in it hot enough to be uncomfortable if one has to do it for too long. Most speakers for these things talk for 5-10 minutes and wish the league luck. Julia Morales spoke this year and she was great - had the mic for roughly 10 minutes and told a couple of stories and said good luck and moved on. Herman goes out to the mound for his speech and drones on for an hour speaking in nothing but platitudes. It turned into a real life Charlie Brown scene where he wasn’t picking any cues up and was laser focused on telling his boring advice and the crowd became more and more hostile as kids began to melt on the field in the sun. Women went from quiet to groaning to openly shouting. When he finished, a small group of people clapped and he walked off the field triumphant, having educated all of us on what it takes to get to the top of the ranks in college football coaching. I’m not even sure he knew where he was. Someone likely just fed him his adderal, pushed him towards the field and told him to tell the crowd how smart and successful he was and it was like pushing a “play” button.

Boy, nothing is ever more scintillating on this board than the fucking geography tangents. Riveting shit, guys. Well done.

All of that was excellent fan fiction. Liucci will ultimately claim similar shit about Manning. They had one of their big money guys reach out to the Mannings during that cycle and were politely told that no amount of money was going to have them interested in sending Arch to ATM.

Oh that was a bad omen, along with him taking the opportunity at Bellaire Little League opening ceremonies to drone on for an hour as the stands grew more and more assertive in begging him to bring his speech to an end.

I think we were talking about early signs, but for sure you’re right on that. Flipping off cameras in national signing day was a highlight as well. I’m guessing Herman wins his way out of Florida Atlantic at some point and lands somewhere with more visibility. When that happens, I am going to enjoy watching him embarrass some other program on their dime.

Oh geez. For sure. If you didn’t know that Herman wasn’t going to be the guy once his coaching staff was announced, that scene with the sledge hammer should have sealed the deal.

You do great work with these updates. Thanks.

CDC actively seeks counsel from outside of the UT circle of influence from trusted and independent subject matter experts. Someone would have to be very good friends with one of those types to know much when an actual search is being conducted. Plenty of people would be excited about Bakich. Thanks for the update on the Clemson end.
