Go horns!!!! That was a fun set. Let's do it twice more.

Well hell. Guess I'm not staying downtown for Florida.

Dear Lord...what is the cooking process for that? I guess they smoke it and then fry it? I wonder how much cooking the fryer does. Looks pretty good!

If I get Tix...would be in.

Wtf abc 13...that was some wolf blister election wall level analysis you cut in on.

F. What a s show by Florida.

I bought an academy special for my six year old and was shocked at how heavy it was. I went head and bought I because he needs to build some muscle tone and he's pretty driven, but he were riding any further than around the culdesac I would have looked elsewhere.

Well hell...that screws up my plans....grrrrr.

Given their offense this is a no brained kick right(like the last one)? Wtf?

I miss the old fries. 🥲

This was a while back, but I rode the train in from Plano one year(The Shipley kick return year). We were packed in like sardines and by there were a number of stops where there was no one able to get on as we approached town. We got stuck outside the fair at some point in Deep Ellum. We eventually pried the doors open as game time approached. I had to run to the game and got there just in time to see Shipley's return. That sucked and I haven't ridden the DART since. I'm sure they've gotten it straightened out, but I'm scared for life.

I'll be the old man...the speakers are ridiculous. I'm half deaf so I don't care, but it can't be safe for kids that still have fresh hearing. My 12 yo and 6 yo begged me to leave in the first quarter. The heat wasn't helping, but the kids were trying to stand on bleachers to see the game with their hands over their ears. Stupid. We left. I live it when dkr is rocking, but needs to be from the fans and not the speakers. My Apple Watch's 90 decibel warning going off in the first quarter of a Kansas game is sus.

These don't make me feel nearly as queasy as when UH wore the powder blue. Go Rice. Beat errrbody. Wear these every week.

Hahahaha....those shots of the band playing for the frat/sorority houses is fire. 😆 I may stop by this week but will have three littlish ones in tow, so we may get distracted by Bevo BLVD.

I was culling through my podcast feeds and noticed that HornsCast hasn't had an update in a while. Did Will, Darius, and the Fire X coach podcast move anywhere?

I don't disagree. The argument for doing SOMETHING is that since 2000 we've increased the state population 43%. The Freshman class size has gone up 0%(or thereabout). If the state wants to keep having the same number of flagship educated students they have to find a way to graduate 43% more students. It would suck to go somewhere else for two years, but it is one way to get more people through with a UT degree(which is what people ultimately want). Other options might be going to a trimester system and only letting kids be on campus for two of three with the third being remote. This also has crazy logistic issues. We Could also just bulldoze the Erwin Center and build Tower 2.0 that is a 110 floors full of classrooms, but that takes capital and there is more prestige in using the space to train like 6.5 doctors a year. We need educated Texans who are proud as hell of the institutions they attended and want to send their kids there. It is good for the state and the economy. Maybe the UTSAs and UTEPs need new, cool, more prestigious names and things just have to spread out. But: Texas A&M has 16,000 more undergrads than UT right now. Over a generation that starts to make a huge difference in Alumni and donor base.

You are not wrong, but I'd say it is a both/and. If you pay taxes in the state you should have a pathway to go to the flagship whether that involves a semester/year(or two) at a satellite, so be it. We are so tied to the four years in one place narrative that it feels like failure to do something else. The old provisional masked this, the reincarnation didn't....and I don't know if they even do that anymore. A lot more texas kids could get the "best education" if the moved all freshmen and or sophomore to satellites. But that would really screw with football...and we can't have that.😬

This whole thing pisses me off. Covid was a great excuse to figure out doubling enrollment. Having the same number of seats as when i graduated two decades ago is dumb.

This is a good point....still would be a fun graph to see over the course of this year.

It feels like more. One thing I know is that I haven't seen a single onside kick yet and we're headed to week five. I don't know why the new clock rolls would affect on sidekicks, but it seems like they are. Anybody know where to look up the stats? It'll be really interesting to look at the year over year change.

+2 here.

I'm Austin for Pearl Jam on Monday and Tuesday. I have a ticket each night in the arena, and I'm kind of betting on the "no bad seats in moody", but I'm still so pissed I missed the fan club sale and am not on the floor or in the pit.
