  1. At this rate tomorrow is going to be fucking absurd. Gotta give the kid credit for sticking with this bit.
  2. UPDATE 8:51 pm: Estimated 300 acres, 10% containment. Fire has laid down. Forward progression has been stopped. Marble Falls IA group on scene, all dozers engaged on the right flank. Hand crew continues to construct hand line on the left flank. Engine crews continuing structure protection.
  3. Yeah they’re skimming water off Canyon Lake to refill. This is about 10 miles or less from my house so we’re stressing.
  4. Hard to take this post too seriously in this thread, but just to play along, maybe forcing revelations about these programs, if they do in fact exist, could plausibly lead to some technology that would help with some of those other things.
  5. Maybe he was just being honest about it being a lie, but then he realized that college football message board posters on this site would interpret his tweet this way so he quickly deleted it to trick college football message board posters on the other school’s site!
  6. I know aggy is pretty fucking dumb and willing to part with their money on dumb A&M shit, but I still think there are going to be some disappointed guys on there. Surely the locker room culture is strong enough to overcome that.
  7. IHeartRadio group got the UT contract, but doesn’t currently have any sports programming on any of its stations and doesn’t even know which one of their stations they’ll put the games on. Meanwhile, Nassour has told a couple of the Horn on-air talent that they’ll still have jobs (not Bucky) but is also doing behind the scenes shit to try and sell the station. So no one involved knows shit about what will happen other than who will pay UT for the contract. Pretty fitting.
  8. I’ve been around Austin sports radio, stations, personalities, etc. my entire life. I grew up knowing all of those guys and have watched them all switch back and forth as the UT contract dictated which station had the pull to assemble a halfway decent lineup at one point or another. It’s hard to survive in any business with a fuckstick like Nassour running the show, much less an ever-buck-passing-corporate-consolidation clusterfuck like terrestrial radio has been for almost 30 years. Having Bob Cole involved at any point doesn’t help achieve a successful business either, despite what he might tell anyone listening. Then having your best guys who actually have a feel for radio bail (Kevin Dunn and BK) doesn’t help. That’s around the time I quit listening at all. E Hogan is just ok. Bucky was never great but has been downright embarrassing for years. Even considering all of that, they still probably could’ve kept it going but they lost the UT contract, so that’s that. No way to keep that turd afloat without that contract. I have no insight into whether UT didn’t renew because of all of the above or just got better terms from the iHeartradio group, but either way, it’s done. I expect E Hogan and Craig Way to end up over there, although that’s not based on any inside info yet, not like anyone would actually give a shit about that palace intrigue at this point.
  9. Fair enough. I’m not gonna look that shit up either and I don’t mean to try and refute the overall intent of your post, regardless of how many McCombs students are on football scholarships.
  10. How huge would you say that chunk of football players in McCombs is?
  11. I guess here is as good as any place for a question I thought of. Who has the better college career between Malik and Arch, the one who stays or the one who likely transfers in 2024?
  12. Who is Warren Roberson? Edit: never mind, forgot about that late S commitment
  13. I’ve perused this thread on a few occasions when feeling particularly down on myself for my alcohol abuse. I’m probably straddling at least one if not both sides of the problem drinker/alcoholic line. Had a long conversation with a coworker earlier this week about his journey to 18 months of sobriety and it was really inspiring. I related to a lot of his issues, if not the quantity he was drinking, and it made me want to feel that way instead of the way I’ve felt for too much of the last 20 years. After drinking too much and blacking out on the last night of a work trip that was the culmination of a year’s worth of work, and lots of coping drinking along the way, I’ve decided to give it a shot. I’m on day 5, dreading the difficult path ahead and feeling lots of guilt and shame about my history with alcohol and all the terrible situations that I’ve caused because of not being able to control my consumption. But I’m also excited and hopeful for what will hopefully be a better next chapter. Thanks for all of you that have contributed to this thread. Wish me strength and luck.
  14. This right here. It’s easy clicks to shit on Texas. We’re gonna hear it no matter what. If RT’s agent is behind this shit though, I can’t imagine it’s going to help his cause if we lose tomorrow.
  15. How long have they been combining games from different regions at one location like this? It hasn’t always been this way has it?
  16. Weak ass call for the game to swing on. I predict a rough back to reality year for Hurts coming up.
  17. The prevalence of crazy jersey chasers and multitude of cautionary tales involving incidents like this is why athletes like Omenihu should be aware enough (especially smart guys like him) to not put themselves in situations like this any time, much less during the middle of a potential Super Bowl run.
  18. How do people not realize this motherfucker is in a dome?!
