    + rep for writing:

    ”…where we are…” 

    …rather than “…where we’re at…”

    It’s refreshing to be reminded that at least some people that went to UT know English grammar.

    ✔️


    Grammar-wise, there's nothing wrong with "where we're at," especially in this context.   Colloquially, "at" is often used to describe a metaphorical location, i.e., where we're "at" mentally or, in this context, where our tight end situation is at. 

    "Are" is used to describe a physical location. Grammatically, neither is wrong, although using "at" to describe a physical location is a tad informal. Not incorrect, just colloquial.

    That game was well within our reach, despite people predicting we’d be blown out. Still, it was a very good season. 
     

    We have gone deeper in the playoffs than any team in SEC history.

    We’re the only SEC team to make the national semifinal in the 12 team playoff.

    We’re the only SEC team to have ever won a game in the 12 team playoff.

    We’re the only SEC team to have won 2 playoff games in the 12 team playoff.

    We’re the only team to beat 2 conference champions in the 12 team playoff.

    We’re the only team to have won all 6 NY6 bowls. Not too shabby. 



    It reminds me of being on Hornfans 20 years ago.  Same divisions.

    Mack knocked on the door several times before he kicked it in. Sark may have, too.

    We shall see.

    May be a black-and-white image of 3 people and musical instrument.

     

    Jerry Jeff Walker, Roky Erickson, and Doug Sahm performing at Gemini's club in Austin which would later transform into Raul's.


    They were there for Margaret Moser's birthday party.

  4. I'm calling it right now. He kicks a walk-off field goal to win the game after a drive-ending targeting call on Ohio State on the prior drive.

    It is written.

    I don’t care too much, but why even have a 5 star rating system if 1 and 2 are rarely ever used. Keep the number of 5 star prospects the same so as not to dilute that rare designation then evenly distribute stars 1-4.

    I can already imagine all the “From a 1 star to the First Round” American underdog headlines. Everyone wins.


    Make it a 6-star system.

    The top 10 in the nation are 6 stars.

    The top 11-100 are 5 stars.

    The next 101-200 are 4 stars

    The next 201-300 are 3 stars

    The next 301-400 are 2 stars

    The next 401-500 are 1 stars

    Everybody else gets a scarlet zero to wear on their uniform.

    this level of stupidity should be grounds for sanctions for lack of institutional control - failure to demonstrate a basic level of education and intelligence

    the closest saguaro cactus to austin or dallas is east of hermosillo in the sonoran desert, 660 miles west of austin, 730 miles southwest of the deathstar

    That's not true.  There's one in San Ygnacio, 244 miles from Austin.
