  1. Wednesday morning update We're finally well within the range of higher resolution models this morning, and the outlook is not great. Temperatures on Friday morning are likely to reach freezing levels in much of the Dallas area, and this should be just cold enough to allow sleet, snow, or freezing rain to stick to roads. Precipitation will occur between late Thursday morning and about sunrise on Friday. The latest models indicate that some or most of this will fall as snow and sleet, with the potential for significant accumulations. In short, I expect travel around the metroplex to be a mess on Thursday evening, night, and Friday morning. I would anticipate significant flight disruptions on Thursday, Thursday night, and into Friday morning. Conditions should improve by the middle of the day Friday. The best-case scenario is that air temperatures are a bit warmer than currently forecast, allowing freeways to remain snow and ice free. (I.e. the surface of the roadways remains warm enough to melt anything that falls). The worst-case scenario is a major winter storm that shuts down the metroplex on Thursday and much of Friday morning, possibly into the early afternoon.
  2. Tuesday afternoon update We are just now coming into the range of high-resolution models (i.e. NAM, HRRR, etc.) which typically do a much better job handling the smaller-scale dynamics that matter when it comes to winter storm events. Confidence in the forecast will grow, accordingly, over the next 24 hours. What I can say right now is that things are trending in a better direction, which is to say a bit warmer on Thursday night, and a bit less precipitation. However that does not mean there will not be mobility problems around DFW, and I'm also concerned about the possibility of ice on I-35 N and I-45 N on Thursday night or Friday morning. I'll provide a better update in the morning when we've had more runs of the higher-resolution models.
  3. I really need to see a closeup video of forearms before I'm ready to rank a player.
  4. Meteorologist here. There is definitely the potential for a serious transportation mess in the DFW metroplex on Thursday/night/Friday morning. There are a couple of questions that are very difficult to answer at this point, including the profile of the atmosphere (will it produce snow, sleet, or freezing rain) and how quickly temperatures reach above freezing on Friday morning. Some modeling recently has indicated that DFW may only briefly freeze on Thursday night/Friday morning, which would speed up the transition to wet rather than icy streets on Friday morning. Bottom line: Any travel into DFW after noon on Friday should be fine, but before then there's definitely the potential for a clusterfuck. Especially if the stars align and the region gets half an inch of freezing rain.
  5. Less than one year into this journey—one!!—and we have ruined the single thing more precious to their dark, little hearts than anything else, conference pride. How fantastic.
  6. In the semifinals for the second year in a row. Who do you want back? Makcovic? Mack? Charlie? Tom Herman? Go fuck yourself.
  7. No. No. No. Good god. No.
  8. This is where I am at, especially with the program putting on airs. The only upside to their 'resurgence' is that Tech probably gets into the college football playoff before before a&m, which will be endlessly hilarious.
  9. Am I a bad person for kind of wanting pig to wreck tech?
  10. At least you will be able to Remember the Alamo. Until dementia sets in, that is.
  11. Sitting. P4. Receiver. Top. 50. Recruit. Trust. Elko.
  12. This is incredible, and a reflection that a) Sark can recruit and b) money talks. I remember during the Chuckles years being excited to have one or two players to watch in these games.
  13. Quick summary of @tiger22's contributions to this board.
  14. The thread title is perfect unless SamMan is willing to up the ante to blow jobs.
  15. Anyone got a link to OU's roster in a spreadsheet format?
  16. It's going to be nice to accelerate Dabo's eventual firing two weeks from now.
  17. My man has us in the SEC Championship in his first year, and may sign the top-ranked recruiting class today. So yeah, Sark is kicking some fucking ass out there.
  18. While I agree in theory, this class will be juniors when we catch Michigan in Austin in 2027. I know, it don't make a shit. But still.
  19. Deion fucking over the Aggies is the news I needed this morning.
  20. Think of all the criticisms lobbed at the Texas football program over the last 25 years. They were soft (no longer). They can't win the big game (Alabama, Michigan, Aggy, say hello). They have elite skill players but are weak in the trenches (oh, it's already been Broughton). They don't develop players (dL-OL). The coaching staff is a good old boys club (bake this, motherfucker) Eleven win Esteban has turned all of that shit around. I'm sure if you squint you can find some problems with the coaching staff, but from where he started four years ago to now has been a remarkable exercise in program building. Basically, the administration, AD, alumni, students, and Austin community have all been brought into the program and are contributing to its success. All of that effort to prepare the UT football team for the SEC-SEC-SEC. We are lucky to have Sarkisian. Now let's go finish the job...
