Ravishing Rick

Memorial is the school, but doesn’t win anything. Four high schools in Spring Branch ISD probably doesn’t help.

I live in HP now....used to live in Austin. I think HP/Tarrytown is a pretty close analogy (assuming Tarrytown had its own school district), but Tarrytown doesn't extend up to the mega rich sections that HP has. It's similar in terms of lot size and proximity to the city, yes. Westlake is probably closer in terms of home values to HP. Jerruh probably isn't buying in Tarrytown. /white on white bickering not going away

The official said "illegal man downfield on the white team"....can you please be more specific?

No one has mentioned my personal mentor, either. Leslie Chow

Who are we looking for in the portal? LBs? Secondary help? OL?

Yes, Craig is a Texas treasure. And also weird looking, but not in a Ric Renner way.

MC Tennessee? Y'all can go to hell, I'm going for Alexis Texas -D Crockett

I watched the North Shore / Westlake game - I seriously thought Westlake had no chance coming in. Westlake's D was legit, and Klubnik made the plays to win. My hat's off to those guys. As a Rice alum, I'm also stoked to see Michael Taaffe play for the Owls (I heard he was committed, but 247 doesn't say "committed"). Since my Highland Park Scots have already been eliminated, I'll cheer for the Chaps.

Holy shit. I'm not kidding in any way - I dated that girl for a year back in the early 2000s. She's now divorced from that dude. I would note that she's definitely in the crazy zone of the hot/crazy matrix. Some fun times, but time hasn't treated her well, unfortunately.

umm...Bijan? brb grabbing high blood pressure medicine

Dumb question, but I’ve been following HS football for a long time but have never heard of Hays. Where are they from?

Christmas was going great. Have a baller trip with my wife and daughters to Punta Mita, leaving on Monday. Then about an hour ago my wife realized the kids’ passports are expired. Fml.

Any chance we can slide in on Dematrius Davis at QB since Auburn canned Gus? He could go down as the most accomplished Texas HS qb ever if North Shore wins its third straight title (which is looking likely)...

In a battle of undefeated teams, North Shore is up 38-0 over Pearland Dawson in the 3rd quarter. Wow. I figured NS would win, but not like this. Dawson beat some good teams this year and won a stout district with Shadow Creek, Pearland and Dickinson.

The Rockwall/Desoto game should be great - I'll take Desoto. Katy Tompkins is a team I'm really interested in. Undefeated, and St Milroe and Tunmise took down Big Red (Katy)....but should they win vs Cy Fair, they're staring at North Shore next.

I noted that as of last night, Ishmael is no longer in the Dallas County Jail.

looks like only a $1500 bond. Still no mention of carjacking. If Baker Mayfield can evade arrest and win a Heisman, then Ishmael should be good to sign with Texas on NSD1!

The charge listed on the Dallas County jail record only indicates "evading arrest detention". No mention of carjacking.

Ohio State $9.95er claims Urban isn't coming (via Trace, UM's former agent), but wrongly states that Trace is UM's current agent "RapGameLarry" (can't believe I'm citing this unimpeachable source) claiming UM is coming Bacon cheddar pancakes Fecal talk not going away

One point to consider on the "full control" point. (humblebrag alert) I've spent a healthy amount of one on one time with Jay H, including sitting through a full Texas football game with him, and my impression of him is that he's not a control guy at all. I don't think giving "control" to UM will be a concern with him, at least.

Rice undergrad alum here (Texas MBA, hence why I'm on this board). Some of the biggest nerds you'll ever encounter, but there's a surprising amount of entertaining fuckery that goes on as a student there. "Baker 13" (co-ed running naked around campus once a month), Night of Decadence (halloween party where you wear as little as possible....one dude arrived in a snickers wrapper around his crank one year...but kind of worth if for the 2-3 decently hot women who show up), over the top binge drinking due to students who have no idea how to drink, etc. It's also located in the middle of Houston, which offers truly any and all kinds of degeneracy you could want - ie taking football recruits to the "anything goes" all-nude strip clubs south on I-45, any and all drugs readily available, escorts from around the world, etc. Shady AF. It's an interesting place, but celebrating top 25 football wins is unfortunately a "once every 25 years" event. So I'm reporting for duty today. You'll hear back from me again in 2045 for the next one.
