  1. When things are going good, everyone is a genius, especially the boss. When things are going poorly, everyone’s a moron, especially the boss.
  2. A hypothetical. If Elon’s creation of the American Party were to cause the Republicans to lose the Presidency in 3.5 years to either a Democrat or American Party candidate (you won’t know until Election Day) would you contribute to and support the American Party?
  3. I always used to feel that the recruit ranking services had a state of Texas bias and maybe to a small extent a UT bias, solely because of the location of some of the early creators of these services. However, if you look at the talent Texas is pulling in these days from other states, it seems like they really are getting the “better” 4 and 5 star players, as opposed to those who were rated 4 or 5 stars but had some questions about them. Herman’s 3rd ranked class was full of pretenders.
  4. Please don’t waste our time on updates that don’t include pizza.
  5. Multiple people in Austin have encouraged us to go to various pizza places, like Bufalina, to have what they describe as incredible Neapolitan pizza. We’ve been constantly disappointed by the limp, doughy crust on the bottom that tastes like someone slapped Pillsbury Doughboy into a brick oven. I traveled to Italy all the time for business for years, and Neapolitan pizza doesn’t taste like that crap. Annoying.
  6. I don’t understand the point you are trying to make. As per below, rivals and On3 merged. People aren’t all of the sudden elevating rivals because of a five star. It’s because the actual rivals service is on3. Do you not understand this? Or do you believe the same old rivals is still there?
  7. I’ve not been paying much attention to the On3 and rivals thing. Aren’t the Rivals ranking somehow now taking into account On3 stuff? I’m lost on all that.
  8. Last weekend I was out in a rural area near San Angelo in the early evening when a wild cat flashed across our suv as we were traveling down the highway. We got a great look at it, but spent 20 minutes debating whether it was a mountain lion or large bobcat because, strangely, it had characteristics of both. I know both well from previous encounters, but nevertheless spent ten minutes comparing pics of the two on my phone just to be sure. We finally concluded it had to be a bobcat. 20 minutes later as we were driving down an isolated road a mountain lion casually crossed the road in front of us and walked into the brush, giving us a perfect view. Very strange evening. No one in that area had seen a mountain lion except for one lady transplant who had said she’d seen one, but had been ridiculed over it. And now to come back from a round of golf to Atkinson and cat facts. I should have known. It was destiny.
  9. Affirmative human. Your prose is noted with glee.
  10. I heard the “2” key requires far less finger pressure than the “A” key.
  11. This might be the first time in my entire life when I didn’t immediately conclude whatever this asshat has written is complete sycophant garbage. I’m shocked. I’m stunned. Who changed the Matrix?
  12. Correct. His entire premise is flawed.
  13. I’m pretty sure you have him on ignore and his post touting that it’s not important to recruit top ranked RB’s was…..something.
  14. Ya Bijan Robinson’s 2020 #1 ranking by 247 was a huge miss. Texas should have gone after a two star somewhere instead.
  15. Ya there is something weird happening that didn’t used to happen. It’s not about going to other sites. The browser (safari) is no longer loading Surly when to try to return to the site, or go back to the previous load. Instead it seems to load a Twitter pic. Definitely a new artifact.
  16. The dust is riding on top. It’s very very different from anything else ever done.
  17. After a very unscientific study on the impact of beer glass shapes on the taste of beer, I have concluded there is an impact, and this shape is the one that makes a beer taste the best. This is science and in no way a figment of my imagination.

    Getting old sucks

    Having dealt with a relative who developed dementia, for many years it was very difficult to see that something wasn’t right. But I would strongly suggest you turn over any finances you manage to someone else because dementia can cause some terrible decision making even early on in some cases.
  19. Watched Paycheck with Ben Affleck and Uma Thurman. Great premise. Good cast. Terrible execution. Got dumb. Endless fight scenes. Some of the worst acting by Uma Thurman I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Now I don’t wanna go off on a rant here, but I just realized John Woo is one of the worst, most over-rated directors in history. He takes good casts, scripts with interesting premises, and turns them into movies with not only bad acting, but horrifically epically bad acting, dumb plots, and endless boring fight scenes. Besides Paycheck, he directed Face Off, Broken Arrow, and Mission Impossible 2, the worst of the MI series. Getting fired by Tom Cruise should tell you something. Each of his movies leave me frustrated with having to see him waste acting talent and good script concepts. That is all.
  20. Cody Campbell the Tech billionaire supposedly gave $55m to Tech for NIL stuff, which is one reason Ojo went Tech. He will be on The Ticket tomorrow to discuss his plan with the Trump Administration to “fix” college sports. 🏈
  21. My solution is exactly what immamac is already doing with one exception: a bunch of unreasonable whiners on the threads start acting like adults instead of 13 year old pre-teen idiots.
