Peach Bowl: Texas vs Arizona State, Jan. 1, 12:00PM, ESPN
I looked this up a short while back. There are around 650k alumni and either 183k or 153k enrolled students. There are 57k at the Tempe campus. Texas has 580k alumni. Enrollment at Texas is around 52k, with 42k undergrads. Follow links for more details, but these numbers are from the universities. ASU has 70k+ students in "digital immersion," which is code for "online classes." Fwiw.

Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo
If Mack oversteps and CDC/Hartzell do not want to deal with directly, they can always bring back Steve Patterson on a 2-day contract. (ducks)

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Looks like he spent zero time worried about strength and conditioning. Moreover, it appears to have ignored the nutritionist all year. I am not the paragon of fitness, but a guy who has spent 2 years in a "top" NCAA football program should look more fit than that.

The hypocrisy is pretty hilarious.

College Hoops 2024-25
~1 min explanation from Larranaga He's exhausted. After the F4 run, 8 players hit the portal. Claims they loved Miami. Loved playing basketball there. "The opportunity to make money someplace else created a situation where you have to begin to ask yourself - as a coach - what is this all about?" Basically - F NIL.

BIL lives in Travis Heights and saw them frequently walking the neighborhood back in the day. At the time, Austin was attractive to famous people, as residents would leave them alone.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
I was not a math major, but 85-56 = 29. 29 folks OUT. Checks math again. 29. Some are protecting draft stock (like Stutsman and similar...) Others are transfers or do not want to be owned by Navy.

Miami's Jim Larranaga stepping down. No news on why, as of yet. He's 75 years old, so it could be health related. Miami was 15-17 last year and are 4-7 this year. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/43168609/sources-jim-larranaga-talks-miami-stepping-down Larranaga replaced Frank Haith (present and former UT assistant) when Haith left for Missouri.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
True, but he (Middlekauf) could take 3 random posts from this thread and turn it into 30 minutes of idiotic rambling. EDIT to add: "former NFL scout" on Middlekauf's CV is somewhat damning. "Prolific message board poster and aspiring NFL scout" is less damning.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
Late to the show on this one. This is Colin Cowherd and John Middlekauff, with Middlekauff making the "coaching around Quinn" statements. For the record, he is a *former* NFL scout and *former* contributor for the Athletic Bay Area. He is now a podcast host who "is not afraid to swim into any topic." He's going to monetize his good/bad/whatever takes until he no longer can. Pro-blue blood takes sell; anti-blue blood takes sell. Until people tire of you. I listened to him for about 30 seconds and tired of him.

Bill Norton
I see Norton as a late round pick or a UFA signing, depending upon his performance at the combine or UT's pro day. His stats here (13 tackles) and at Airzona (32 tackles) are not going to attract attention, but that's because of his role in PK's defense - to eat blockers and allow others to do their jobs. In the latter part of his NFL career, Siragusa played at 6'3"/330 (I think he was heavier, but who cares). At Pitt, he was 6'5"/240 as an incoming freshman and played at 6'5"/255 as a soph. An interesting note: he was a state champion wrestler in HS. When I first read it, I wondered how massive Siragusa was in HS. Fwiw.

What are you listening to right now?
Listening to a bunch of random 80s-00s music with extended family and decided to share this one. Recorded in 1992 when Soundgarden opened for GnR on the Use Your Illusion Tour. My personal discovery of Soundgarden was at Waterloo records in late 1989 or early 1990. A&M records promo'd a lot of their newer artists with deep discounts. Bought the Soundgarden Louder than Love cassette (yes, cassette) for $4.44. Enjoy... And what I heard the first time I heard the song

Beer 2024: Your mom’s January won’t be dry.
PH must be printing money selling 1/6 and 1/4 kegs of EJ. Everywhere in Austin sells it for $9-$12 a pint (except PH). Damned NYC prices. If you are an APA or IPA fan, try their Green Battles at Burnet. For a while there, I was convinced that only my son, his friends, and I ordered it, as it left the menu for around 6 months. I likely doxxed him and me with the above statement if there are any PH folks here.

Klare had Purdue and Texas as 2 of his choices - and he chose tosu. Shit. He's from Cincinnati, so he should know better.
