Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Broughton was a high 4 star. ESPN had him as the 79th best player in his class and 247 had him as the 10th ranked DT. That puts him squarely in Double Eagle money. Is that the type of guy you want to pay and store for three years? That would make an awfully expensive bench.

Horrible way to die new stories
- People trying to bring the Shuttle Discovery to Texas
Yeah, I don't know why they chose the Smithsonian one but from what I understand Discovery and the one in Florida, Atlantis, are the only shuttle orbiters still owned by the government. Enterprise at the Intrepid Museum in New York, and Endeavour in California and are not federally owned.- Horrible way to die new stories
Teacher Crushed to Death on Beach A 66-year-old retired English teacher was killed when a bulldozer operator, allegedly under the influence of cocaine, ran over her while she collected seashells on an Italian beach on May 24. Elisa Spadavecchia was vacationing at Pinarella di Cervia with her ex-husband when the fatal incident occurred around 10 a.m. The bulldozer operator, 54-year-old Lerry Gnoli, was performing unauthorized construction work on the beach when he reversed the 15-ton tracked vehicle directly over Spadavecchia. Witnesses reported the bulldozer lacked warning lights and audible reversing alerts as it struck the unaware holidaymaker, crushing her to death almost instantly. Giovanni Sfregola, Spadavecchia’s ex-husband and a retired police officer, discovered her body using the Find My iPhone feature after she failed to return from her morning walk. Sfregola described being consumed by what he called an “ocean of pain” following the discovery. The scene was so disturbing that a lifeguard who witnessed the incident became ill and required hospitalization. Toxicological tests revealed Gnoli was positive for cocaine at the time of the accident, though investigators have not determined when he consumed the substance. During questioning on May 30, Gnoli stated he was reversing when he suddenly struck her, claiming he noticed immediately and heard screams from a lifeguard. The incident marked the second time Gnoli faced charges related to a fatal accident while under the influence of cocaine. In 2022, he received a two-and-a-half-year sentence for road homicide after killing an 83-year-old pedestrian in Pisignano while driving under the influence of the same substance. His driver’s license had been revoked following that conviction, though he was permitted to operate construction vehicles as long as he avoided public roads. More than a month after the beach tragedy, the Court of Ravenna issued a custodial remand order for Gnoli’s arrest. Carabinieri from Cervia-Milano Marittima, working with the local Coast Guard maritime office, carried out the arrest on charges of manslaughter and serious workplace safety violations. Investigations revealed Gnoli was conducting dune-leveling work using his own tracked vehicle, which lacked required license plates and visual and sound signaling devices mandated by law. Authorities determined the construction work was not authorized by the Municipality of Cervia, raising questions about who permitted or failed to supervise Gnoli’s activities. Spadavecchia had taught English at Liceo Scientifico Quadri in Vicenza before retiring several years before the COVID-19 pandemic. Colleagues remembered her with affection following news of her death. Anna Spata expressed sadness and recalled Spadavecchia with esteem, while Cinzia Zanesco noted she was enjoying her retirement phase with her young granddaughter. Elena Ruffato described colleagues as dismayed and speechless in the face of the tragedy. The couple had recently celebrated the birth of a grandson, who was less than three months old at the time of the accident. Sfregola indicated they were overjoyed about the new grandchild, making the loss even more devastating for the family. Spadavecchia’s funeral was held at the church of San Marco Evangelista in Creazzo, in the province of Vicenza, with the mayor of Cervia, Mattia Missiroli, attending the service. Gnoli’s criminal history extends beyond the 2022 road homicide conviction. In 2019, he was arrested for resisting a public official while under the influence of drugs and was found in possession of cocaine. His lawyer, Vittoria Manes, stated that Gnoli expressed being “terribly sorry” for the tragedy and sent condolences to Spadavecchia’s family, though he claimed authorization to perform the beach work. The Ravenna Prosecutor’s Office continues investigating the circumstances surrounding the unauthorized construction work. Authorities are examining potential liability of third parties who may have authorized or failed to supervise Gnoli’s activities on the beach. The case has raised concerns about construction site safety protocols and the supervision of heavy machinery operations in public areas frequented by tourists and residents. Gnoli was transferred to Ravenna prison pending trial proceedings. The investigation continues to focus on determining how an individual with a revoked license and previous homicide conviction was able to operate heavy construction equipment in an area where members of the public were present during peak beach season.- People trying to bring the Shuttle Discovery to Texas
The NASA museum should have always had the shuttle. What was a waste was giving one to LA.- People trying to bring the Shuttle Discovery to Texas

Cool. I wish they were taking the Endeavor from LA or the Enterprise from the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum but whatever.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
So NIL has to come from a 3rd party that is a legitimate business entity. Basically, all you need to do is create a hedge fund where a percentage of profits goes towards player development. That sounds easy enough. My brother was a VP in M&A at JP Morgan. It would take him all of a couple of weeks to set it up with coordination from the One Fund. And the companies that it invests in will use players as sponsors.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

or if someone overpays, who is the top guy in 2028?- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
A pizza party would be cool, but some of the guys we have committed weren't cheap: Mikey Bukauskas, Jake Collett, and Trott O'Neal were all rated at the top of their class. And we all know Mikeys, Jakes, and Trotts don't grow on trees on football rosters. Be happy and if all goes well, maybe just maybe we will have a little left over for Domino's on signing day. And remember while Domino's no longer offers a free pizza guarantee, some locations may offer other incentives for late deliveries.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

This is not smart thinking unless we decide we don't need depth and aren't worried about injury. Really, it is more rationalization than anything. We did very well with Banks, etc. when it looked pretty bad in June of that year. Now all those guys will be gone and we need a new super group. Based on our visit lists there is no way that Flood envisioned Turntine, Robertson and Tristan Nickelson Max Wright.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

We own some land there, and supposedly (from speaking with the locals) neo nazis were more prevalent 20 years ago than today and they weren't in Sandpoint as it has always been a tourist destination. When they were there, it was more in the Bonners Ferry area which is a little farther north. The locals also say that they like the implication as it keeps the Washington and Californian coastals from increasing housing prices. - People trying to bring the Shuttle Discovery to Texas
