I watched his HUDL. He's fast, long and rangy, very physical and a sure tackler. He also appears to have Rod Babers-ish hands, so don't count on a lot of ints.

Scruggs and South are both providing a big improvement on 247.

Is the person/s behind this NIL tracker connected to TCU? I ask because on twitter there were several people throwing shade at TCU in the comments.

I'm just old enough to have seen his last couple of years with the Giants before his swan song with the Mets. He was still great even as his Mets career was a sad, rapid descent. I don't know who anyone considers the greatest ever besides him.

TCU and Oregon both suffer from the same mindset of the amateur chef who just keeps adding ingredients to the pot until it's a certified mess. Both schools have sported some nice uniforms in the past, but no one in charge ever says, "Enough."

Though this would be represent a divergence from the brand the size of the Pacific Ocean, I'm guess Mama Foster isn't eager to flaunt her son's aggie experience and departure.

FIFY. Sorry, but this misappropriation of element number 82, symbol Pb, on the Periodic Table of Elements drives me bonkers. #notusuallyagrammarnazi

We'd drive in from Fort Worth and my dad would drop us off at our grandparents in south Austin and he would head back to the Villa Capri. He never told us anything about what went on there. I always assumed the worst.

Texadelphia was a pale imitation of its predecessor (same location), called Harvey's Heros. It was a big Daily Texan staff hangout.

I just stumbled upon this thread. Man oh man, the hours I spent at the corner of 24th and San Antonio. My go to at Mad Dogs wavered between the Austin's Favorite and the Bandido. I was an undergrad '78-'82, and this was such a terrific little college neighborhood. I spent so much money and time at Inner Sanctum that it's a wonder I graduated. And we would go see movies at night at The Varsity Theater (for some, the Tower Records space) and at the end scoot out the back exit and poof! There was Les Amis, the cultural heart of west campus. We'd smoke and drink and do an autopsy on the movie we'd just watched, which was usually a great film. And nearly 10 years earlier, my brother had worked at Les Amis and later managed a Mexican food joint called La Fonda on the back side of the Mad Dogs parking lot in the narrow building that was later Linklater's apartment, where the early scenes of Slacker were filmed. Inner Sanctum and Mad Dogs would hold music shows in the parking lot that were fabulous, bands like Toxic Shock, Terminal Mind, Sharon Tate's Baby, The Next and many others would draw large audiences. And there was even the first Whole Earth Provision Company in Austin right around the corner on San Antonio. A block west was Abel's, and another couple of blocks west was The Posse West. And the women! Holy crap, it was like - and no disrespect to Native Americans, my wife (no pics you degenerates) is partly Native American - the Happy Hunting Ground for finding beautiful women. I have great memories of The Stallion (double cfs on Sunday evenings) and Jorge's on Riverside. Beans at 6th and Guadalupe was not connected to Mad Dogs. It was one of our go-tos for concerts and shows, sometimes before, sometimes after, sometimes both. I don't care for sweet drinks, but they made a Pina Colada that would make you levitate. Enough, TL; dr.

Cross posting from the basketball forum. I played against his Dunbar teams for 4 years in the mid-late '70s. He was a great coach, but so was ours, and we always beat Dunbar until he introduced FWISD to the now widely-practiced strategy of recruiting kids in other schools' footprint. He convinced a lot of talent that they would fit in better at Dunbar, even if it was a lesser school.

Objection. This is irrelevant, immaterial and incompetent. Introducing facts not based on evidence.

Kid camps at Texas. Doesn't get offered. Does get butthurt. Does Horns down. Yawn.

That's pretty surprising. I wonder what happened in that recruitment, weren't the coaches really high on Johnson? I wonder if it has anything to do with Hines?

In the spirit of Horseshoe Bay hotel curtains and flight tracker, I went to the Comal County public jail bond records and none of this weekend's official visitors turned up in a quick search.

Whoosh!

When I was in high school, I had a summer job working at the Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station (the North Texas nuke in Glen Rose). This lake looks just like the cooling pond there. Ugh.

You may have mentioned it, or perhaps Gerry, but it sounds like they prefer the Texas TEs to Winston.

Well, Fred Hoiberg is a much better coach than RT. And who knows how much we even pursued him.

It's Winston. May flip to Auburn.
