So excited to go to the SEC with these Tennessee assholes
Frank Drebin replied to TexasEd's topic in Football
Yep. People are thinking he's "young" because he's a sophomore. He will be 21 by game 1. He played in a very simple and QB friendly system last year. And he was not good. If he had been ranked a 3 star in high school, no one would think twice about him. I cannot imagine he will be very good at UCLA. But who knows. Bo Nix was just awful for several years and then transferred and became very good in that system. If I was getting a transfer portal QB (and really for any position), I would be looking more for someone who was good in college than a highly ranked recruit who was average in college. Same reason I would have not given any NIL money to David Stone. -
In some ways, it is easier than ever -- and cheaper than ever -- to get fit. I have been in a rut with weight lifting. I had Grok design a new workout program for me to change things up and prevent boredom. Cost me $0. My gym membership costs $0. I spent maybe $2k total on used weights, squat rack, pullup/dip bar, a used commercial treadmill, and a used concept two rowing machine. People sell quality barely used workout equipment for next to nothing on the internet because they just want to get rid of it. 30 years ago it would be harder to find. Walking is free. So is jogging. If you can't afford weights, do that plus body weight exercises. Get a body weight fitness program for free online or a free app on your phone. Costs nothing. Nutrition and fitness information is everywhere. You can read it or listen to a podcast. Lots of good stuff out there. My breakfast every day is a protein shake that all in costs about $2. Lunch is meal prepped. Costs probably $3. This is a hell of a lot cheaper than fast food or spending $13 on a sandwich and chips at the deli in my office building. Again, it is simple and not complicated. Just have to have the discipline.

Most people who claim they are eating 2000 calories a day and cannot lose weight are eating a lot more. Watch an episode of Secret Eaters. Unless you accurately track calories, most people either lie or are just wrong about how much they consume. And don't get me started on how many calories Americans consume in their drinks. You want to lose weight? Start by only drinking water and black coffee.

I have been overweight. All my life I was fit, and admittedly it is easier because I come from a family with no obesity as they are health conscious. It also helps that I am almost 6'3", so I will have a higher base calorie burn. Then my brother, who I was very, very close to, died unexpectedly in my mid 30s and it wrecked me. Instead of running 4 miles 5x per week, lifting 3x per week, and eating right, I made poor choices. Ate too much. Drank too much. Became sedentary. Gained like 10 pounds a year over a period of years. I think subconsciously maybe I was trying to commit slow suicide. Got to where I could not easily do the things I love and realized I needed to stick around for my family, so I decided to make changes. I cut alcohol cold turkey more than 3 years ago. Started off exercising just by walking my dog. Then started walking more. Then started lifting weights and training for marathons. Now I sit around 190 (if I get lower than that I look like I have AIDs with my frame). Losing weight is simple. But it is not easy. You cannot look at it like a diet. But as a lifestyle change. Diets do not work long term. Healthy lifestyle changes do. Now your situation with medicine -- that is something I know nothing about so cannot judge. I would think you need medical intervention of some sort and wish you the very best.

Pope Francis: You know that hell thing? Never mind....

No problem with this. So long as you tax the property of all secular nonprofits as well. Many won't be able to afford it. -
Pretty sure horn fans.

Anyone remember the writing of Ed from Agtimes? I think Agtimes formed because they thought Texags didn’t pump enough sunshine.

A GA told me once that when Harris was visiting Texas and in Mack’s office, he was staring at Mack’s Aquarium. Mack noticed he was distracted. Mack asked him if everything was okay. Harris response — “coach, your fish is smiling at me.”

Stone has been JAG. And they paid for him?

Jeremiah Wilson is a junior defensive back for the Houston Cougars, recognized as one of the top cornerbacks in college football for his standout 2024 season. Originally from Kissimmee, Florida, Wilson played high school football at Osceola High School before starting his college career at Syracuse (2022-2023) and transferring to Houston for the 2024 season. His skills in coverage, interception ability, and work ethic have earned him significant accolades and attention from NFL scouts. Below are the specific awards he has earned, based on available information. Awards Earned by Jeremiah Wilson Dave Campbell’s Texas Football First-Team Defense (2024): Wilson was selected to the First-Team Defense by Dave Campbell’s Texas Football for his performance during the 2024 season with the Houston Cougars. This recognition highlights his status as one of the top defensive players in Texas. First-Team All-Texas Honors (2024): As part of his standout season, Wilson earned First-Team All-Texas honors from Dave Campbell’s Texas Football, further cementing his reputation as a premier cornerback in the state. Notable Achievements and Context While the above are the specific awards explicitly mentioned, Wilson’s 2024 season included performances that contributed to his award recognition: Statistical Highlights: In 2024, Wilson played in all 12 games for Houston, starting the final eight. He recorded 24 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, four interceptions, and eight passes defended. His four interceptions included a 41-yard pick-six against Baylor, the Cougars’ only touchdown in that game. According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), Wilson had an 86.9 defensive grade (highest on Houston’s team and fourth among Power Four cornerbacks) and an 87.8 coverage grade (seventh among Power Four cornerbacks, second in the Big 12). His 88.6 coverage grade ranked eighth nationally among cornerbacks, with only three catches allowed on 11 targets in five games. Key Performances: Wilson’s pick-six and early interception against Baylor set the tone for Houston’s defensive effort. His coverage prowess led to teams rarely throwing in his direction, with him stating, “Teams don’t really throw my way right now.” Prior Recognition: At Syracuse in 2023, Wilson’s 72.5 coverage grade ranked sixth among ACC underclassmen. As a true freshman at Syracuse in 2022, he was one of three freshmen to play in every game, contributing 21 tackles and three special teams tackles. Additional Context Transfer Portal Activity: Wilson entered the NCAA Transfer Portal in December 2024 but withdrew shortly after, choosing to stay with Houston. He re-entered the portal in April 2025, drawing interest from programs like UNC, FSU, Colorado, and Oregon, indicating his high value as a player. Work Ethic: Wilson’s rigorous schedule, starting at 5 a.m. with weight room sessions, film study, and extra drills, has been praised by coaches and teammates, contributing to his elite performance. Ranking: PFF ranked him as the No. 8 returning cornerback for the 2025 season, underscoring his national prominence. Conclusion Jeremiah Wilson’s primary awards are the Dave Campbell’s Texas Football First-Team Defense and First-Team All-Texas Honors for 2024, reflecting his exceptional contributions to the Houston Cougars’ defense. -

They have a corner who was a stud enter portal — Jeremiah Wilson. He’s the one we should consider. He was one of the best cover corners in college football. Daucy is the safety. We don’t need a safety and adding one could cause attrition. https://portal.rivals.com/news/houston-db-jeremiah-wilson-intends-to-enter-transfer-portal -
