  1. We donkey punched all of college football last cycle and have been highly successful in the portal but yea I guess let’s have a good old fashioned freak out for the hell of it. The money is there, we are gonna get ours. It’s as simple as that.
  2. I don’t have much of a feel for recruiting at all right now, but I do feel confident we have the $$$ to put together a top 5 class. I was around a large group of coaches recently (was completely random but awesome) and they just rolled their eyes when I told them I went to Texas. I’m not worried in the slightest.
  3. Just got this in the mail. Great deal on a great rod. Over half off. TFO Tactical inshore
  4. Im exactly the same. A couple of times people looked at me like a leper for switching the handle on a spinning reel to the right side.
  5. The SEC destination for elite west coast recruits. There’s something about combining elite Texas and California kids to conquer the southeast that makes me feel like a million bucks. They never should’ve let us into their conference.
  6. It came up because I had seen we had fallen behind for Atkinson and then the next thing I saw about him was he was visiting. So I asked him about it and he said he still doesnt think we get him (because hes highly valued and Im assuming UGA or whoever will continue to pony up) but we are making him a competitive offer that raised the market for him. I just think its pretty cool that we can money whip our way back into big time recruitments. The implication is if they dont match he is willing to come to Texas. So due to our deep pockets, even in recruitments where we dont lead, we are able to be a thorn in the side of those who are more likely to win the recruitment. That puts stress on their budget, which could help us down the line in other recruitments and in the portal. I suppose that wouldnt be the case if our competitors have as deep of pockets as us but his implication is in this case they dont.
  7. I was surrounded by about 80 rabid LSU fans with 20 or so fans from other SEC schools. They hate us so much. At a round table during a golf tourney weather delay an old dog orthopedic surgeon LSU fan gave me the dig that it took being able to pay players openly for Texas to be good again. I just said, “Yea we are all real excited and loving this new era. It’s been really fun.” The scowl he gave was better than a birdie putt. Welcome to the fucking show you fucking dildo.
  8. Per someone writing the checks we are upping the bid on Atkinson and several others. He’s not gonna end up here but others will have to pay. We are managing things on a high level and even in recruitments we aren’t likely to win we are a big fucking problem for everyone else out there. It’s a fantastic time to be a Texas fan. I’m enjoying it immensely. Once it officially became a game of money and intelligence we rose to the top in a hurry. Fun times.
  9. The MIC boomers are hanging it up. Its their kids turn to cash in.
  10. One time right after college I was shooting pool at the Cub in Shreveport. I was good and drunk and decided to step out the back to get some fresh air and smoke a cigarette. I busted out of the door and startled a girl who looked very confused. The girl was Jennifer Garner and the door I used I guess was supposed to be locked. Dumbfounded, I looked at her and the only thing that came out of my mouth was "What are YOU doing here?" She responded in a very nice way, "Shooting a movie." Then I noticed all these people staring at me so I walked back inside and kept playing pool.
  11. I think it’s incredibly lame that these college players can act like complete fuck faces with zero possibility of retaliation. If you want to pimp a home run I think that’s fine but if you wear one between the shoulder blades I think that’s fine too. To me that’s more entertaining.
  12. I was very excited to win the SEC in year 1. I have a good number of contacts in Louisiana and they're very aware of the noise we have made in all facets since joining the SEC. They all really did think we were going to get stomped by their superior conference. When we won the regular season, they begrudgingly texted me congrats but many knew I love college baseball and were actually cool about it and said we are clearly a problem. They pay close attention they knew we werent that good, yet we just kept winning. For me, it just shows this squad consistently played above its level for a really long period of time. Long enough to win the conference. Then we came crashing back down to earth after the Arkansas series and it became clear, this really was a rebuilding year.
  13. Galvan is a tough sob.
  14. At least he didnt swing at that.
  15. Gasparino at the plate
  16. What on earth was he even swinging at?
  17. That didnt look great whatever it was with Galvans arm.
  18. Do they do IVs with these guys?
  19. They really gonna play this next game at 6? Surely not.
  20. Ruger is running out of ammo.
  21. Looked like when I coach 3rd for my sons kinder team. I send every single one of those little bastards.
  22. Damn Jonah. Smoother than smoke through a keyhole.
  23. Ball just landed in Amarillo.
