    DFW is littered with high school teachers and coaches who graduated from Arkie. Mansfield and Arlington in particular, and they are not shy about steering athletes to their alma mater.

    It's not Hamlet, it's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.

    At the very least I would hope that Joseph gets cashiered. The only untouchable on the defensive staff should be Bo Davis.

    It's been a while since I last saw Pretty Maids All in a Row, but she may have dropped the laundry in it.

    Rio Bravo was Howard Hawks' and John Wayne's rebuttal to producer Stanley Kramer's 1952 rebuke of the Hollywood Blacklist, High Noon. Kramer was known for his polemical films like Inherit the Wind, Judgment at Nuremberg, The Defiant Ones and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Wayne was incensed by High Noon as he was a huge supporter of the Blacklist. So he approached Hawks and HH adapted Rio Bravo from a short story. The result is diametrically opposed to High Noon.

    Krivacs may be the greatest outside shooter to play in Austin. Had he played with a 3 point line he would have averaged close to 40 points per game.

    You're not only stroking out to scuttlebutt but additionally extrapolating on it. We don't actually know for certain the machinations of the Patterson to Texas process. But which is it? CDC calling the shots on this when he was unceremoniously jettisoned from the coaching search/hire, right? But now the people who brought you Sark are stepping away and giving CDC the reins again? I call bullshit. It seems to me that if Patterson comes in and helps right the defense then programs will come calling for him. Sabotage would be a losing strategy for Patterson, IMO, and I bet he knows it.

    First step is moving to Miami.

    Shoulder. He could have rehabbed it without surgery but chose the operation so he would be ready to go when he got on campus.

    You're not the first to throw out this conspiracy level shit, but think about it. If the common wisdom regurgitated on this board is that CDC was removed from the head coaching search, do you really think those usurpers of the AD will allow him to pull something like this off? And if CDC's simple-mindedness is to be believed, then I seriously doubt he is capable of this sort of play. Everybody needs to recognize our Longhorn PTSD and calm down.

    Punch & Judy. Ren & Stimpy. CTJ & quigley. The rich heritage of the classics never dies, it just finds a new host.

    Man, there must be something in the water in Mt. Pleasant.

    Not as good as Shane, which it is essentially a remake of. It's not at all bad, but not one of CE's best.

    And a huge thank you to Beau!

    Baseball is my favorite sport, but this is my favorite forum. Thanks to all of you partisans from all over our huge and great state for contributing to it and my enjoyment and knowledge. I grew up in the Metroplex (a looong time ago, received my bachelors from the 40 in 1982) and knew little of RGV sports or West Texas and just a smattering of East Texas (Longview would kick my high school's ass on the reg). On DFW, Houston and Austin I was knowledgeable, but even San Antonio was a bit of a mystery as far as football went. You all do yeoman's work here and I am very grateful.

    It seemed like our QBs panicked and ran into danger several times every game. Card v Arkie is especially memorable. But they were both guilty.

    Humor, Tex.

    Lancaster and Ryan wanted to kill Marvin on that shoot because he was drunk all the time and screwing shit up.

    Lucas stole that from Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress.

    Once Upon a Time in the West is Leone's best film and absolutely one of the ten best westerns ever. It's both elegiac and haunting. Morricone's best film score.

    It wouldn't be crazy for someone to include it, either. Criminally underappreciated. Many actors, confronted with their directorial debut, conform to a template that results in a facile, if pleasant, movie. Certain actors like Bill Paxton - RIP - eschewed ease and comfort as a director and made the hard choices, which is what TLJ did here.

    Calm down, Astroglide.

    I sure as fuck would, James may or may not be a jag, but Tommy isn't. The last 12 years are a cold clamp around my heart and soul. Forgive the kids, fuck the father.
