  2. If he comes to the Texas Georgia game it might be impossible to conceal.
  3. So now two of our backup to the backups who were backing up our starting running backs are injured? What the hell? Is Choice allowed to recruit in season?
  4. This remembrance of Don Graham is one of the best things you'll read this year: https://alcalde.texasexes.org/2021/11/after-life-remembering-don-graham/
  5. My streak of 31 in a row was broken when I failed to remember to play yesterday. Doh!
  6. Holy crap. I would venture to say that I have read more Texas literature, Texas history, Texas culture than anybody on this board. You absolutely MUST read Goodbye to a River. It is in the rarified pantheon of greatest Texas works of literature ever. Top five all time. As for Don Graham, I have stories for miles. It was he who invited me, a lowly undergraduate, to hang out with the Mad Dogs at the chili parlor. That's where I met Shrake, Cartwright, Pete Gent, Eddie Wilson, William Goyen and others, and that is why when I hear Guy Clark's Dublin Blues I sigh wistfully. Mad Dog margaritas are the best. Graham was fabulously encouraging to me, though I really had accomplished nothing. But, after I started Traces of Texas, he sent me several emails and direct messages that I still treasure. Being that it was 30 years later, and I was a grown middle aged man, I asked him why he had been so encouraging back then. He said, "Because I knew there was something in you beyond that which you thought was beyond you." I almost cried. Along with Roger Louis, he was the best professor I ever had at UT. When I heard that he died, I cursed myself for not going to see him when I had the chance. He really was something special.

  8. If that's what happened, you've got to think that a coach of any big time program is going to think twice about offering him a scholarship. Not smart on his part.
  9. His name is James Bennett Carone from Palm Harbor Florida, any apparently got fired after this video surfaced. I think what happened is that he was driving around with a Trump flag in the back of his truck and she flipped him off, prompting him to get out of her truck.
  10. He would have to become Joe Manchin in order to be reelected again. Texas will penalize him if he's perceived as too liberal. That's The balancing act he'll have to navigate.
  11. Does this assume that those other schools don't add any more recruits?
  12. Behold the power of vodka (second tweet). New meaning to tigers in your tank.
  13. I say bring Dijon Lee in for the Georgia-Texas game and let the chips fall where they may. If we win, we're off to the races. If we lose, we'll see. He's a great player, but "found money" at this point.
  14. Sooners are a mess on offense. On first down against Tennessee: 15 total plays 7 total yards 3 turnovers 1 safety Somebody who brings a hair brush to a football game, apparently.
  15. He is making himself some money. Another 18 months of getting stronger and bigger and he's going to be an early round draft pick.
