  1. I realize the cycling season "began" three weeks ago with Omloop, but the first monument was today. And it was epic. Watch their faces, they were putting it all on the line. I'm not going to spoil it, but the last thirty minutes of Milan-San Remo were riveting, with a deserving winner.
  2. Wait, you're saying there's a big hullabaloo about Kanak. Kanak!
  3. With all due respect, that cap is hideous.
  4. I'm not sure whether I prefer chest-puffed out aggy or deflated aggy. But this year, with baseball season, we've had both in less than a month! What a ride for them.
  5. The plan is quite clear to those paying attention to happenings in Houston, and the buffet table on the Brazos. The Texans are clearing roster space and acquiring draft capital for a singular and brilliant purpose: Acquiring Chase Bisontis in the 2026 NFL draft.
  6. Hurry up, taxpayers better spend $1.5 billion on a new stadium then!
  7. It's because A&M is a national school, stupid sip.
  8. Here's the full story from the Chronicle. Nothing will set my (slightly rekindled) interest in the Texans on fire like McNair coming hat in hand to taxpayers for a new stadium. Fuck off with that.
  9. I deserve all the downvotes.
  10. This is such a perfect reply to an unhinged, insulting comment. Bravo.
  11. I'm so freaking excited -- my daughter got accepted this evening. Her academics aren't the best, but she's an insanely talented singer. She'll be attending the Butler School of Music.
  12. As if we needed more reasons to hate Jerry Jones.
  13. He's got a tremendous motor. Amazing energy when they let him off the leash. He's always chasing after the ball with reckless abandon. He plays well in traffic. In fact, he may have a little too much energy because he wears down in the second half. If you look closely at the Hudl film, you can see the coaches urging him to take a drink of water and telling him, "Sit Utu, sit."
  14. It's perfectly legitimate for a reporter, at a press event, to ask a pertinent question about a player's health. It's totally fine if Bond and the rest of the players were coached to offer a non-committal reply, but the reporter was just doing their job while covering a promotional news event. Also Barron was badass this year and will definitely be missed. Kudos to the NIL team for retaining him, and the coaches for coaching him up.
  15. Amusing that we finished ahead of Georgia but lost to them twice.
  16. I don't think I ever read anything insightful during the (very distant) time I was a subscriber to 247.
  17. Speaking Elon Musk and NIL ... I know him pretty well. Generally, I like him. With that said, I want him nowhere near UT sports. Elon is not interested in sports. They are a waste of time in his view. Pabulum for the masses. And he would not be doing this for the love of the game or the university. But rather, it would be transactional. So what would UT have to give up? It wouldn't be pretty.
