  1. Summer before my freshman year at UT, the frat I eventually pledged had a bunch of guys come in to the hometown for a week to rush the recently graduated HS seniors and solicit donations from selected alums. We decided to go frog “gigging” one night. The plan was to load in 2-3 pickups and patrol the North Texas oil patch and ranch lands with varying degrees of permission, locate the stock tanks and then the frogs via spotlights and/or flashlights. So 3-4 of us were armed with .22’s and the others with spotlights and gigs. The goal was to shoot the frogs, then gig the frogs before the snakes got to them. So picture about eight or so 18-21 year olds going out at 10 pm after drinking a few beers and continuing to drink while shooting firearms in the dark…at frogs. It was chaotic at times as there would be some large tanks with several frogs…and several snakes. The firefights were brief, but intense as everyone would be yelling and laughing pointing out frogs and snakes and those of us with .22’s firing at said frogs and snakes, doing our best to avoid friendly fire. Once, a frat rat from central casting from the middle of Houston approached a small tree hanging over a tank with his gig. The tree was covered with cotton mouths; never saw anything like it before and hope to never see anything like it again. Dressed in his starched plaid shirt, khaki shorts and topsiders, he acted like he was going to gig one of the water moccasins. We went nuts, shouting and pleading with him to stop. He stopped, I never knew if he was serious or not. How we came out of that evening without tragedy was amazing. But we harvested lots of frogs and the frog leg fry we had the subsequent evening was awesome. Ahh, to be young again.

  3. He’s gonna coach against NC State and NC will determine if he coaches in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl.
  4. Was that one of Herman's hellspawn doing the horns down in that series of pics running on a screen behind him? I believe their chief rival, the USF Bulls, employ the hook ‘em sign.
  5. True. Mack Brown buyout In the event he’s fired without cause, Brown would be due an amount equal to the sum of any remaining unpaid base salary payments. As of December 1, 2024, that figure would be $2,812,500.
  6. Yikes! Contract runs thru ‘27 at $5M per. NC is screwed. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/35576738/north-carolina-football-coach-mack-brown-signs-1-year-extension

  9. Are you looking for whores? Then Pattaya has you covered. If you are looking for a beautiful beach vacation in Thailand, then go elsewhere.
  10. The Venn diagram of what he ate in prison vs what he eats in the free world is probably a perfect circle.
  11. Fame is a drug. A lot of famous folks will fight to the bitter end to retain it. Mack is one of those folks.
  12. Hell, he fired the great Brad Sham for awhile for criticizing the Cowboys too much.
  13. I vowed years ago not to give the Cowboys another dime till Jerry is gone.

  15. TLDR… Pulitzer Prize winning writer who exposed the MS-Favre scandal is potentially facing jail time for not divulging sources in lawsuit against her by former governor who is suing for defamation. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/41403341/favre-nfl-wolfe-bryant-mississippi-welfare
