VolleyTalk is chock full of recruiting threads for individual programs. IMHO there's an awful lot of "insider ball," but maybe that's true of any competitive sport. Texas Recruiting and Transfer Thread [2025, 2026]

Missus Homebrew and I saw the Drive-By Truckers Southern Rock Opera Revisited in Denver at the Fillmore on July 6. The audience was not seated and it was a VERY enthusiastic crowd. Damn good show. Okay, two idiots got into it about five feet to my left during the encore. One poured a full pint of beer down the other's back. Somehow it didn't escalate into a full-on brawl. Good times.

Another view of the Octopus Project playing at the height of the annular eclipse. Too cool for words: https://www.instagram.com/p/CybdlIDJZZx/

Caught the October annular eclipse at UTOPiAfest. It was awesome. I'll be there for the April full eclipse as well. There's a 50K+ event shaping up in Burnet that has the makings of a shit show. This was the UTOPiAfest scene in October:

The schedule is FINALLY up: https://texassports.com/sports/womens-volleyball/schedule

The Orange and White match is set for 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 12. See you there.

Kids can appeal grades for 90 days. I always interpreted that to mean throw away all their shit after the following semester.

Apologies. FML. I duplicated this thread. How can I delete one of the duplicates?

Ahoy! I found this whilst doing some homework before seeing Nolan's Oppenheimer. There are some truly unwatchable versions (terrible resolution and audio synching) on YouTube, but the LionHeart FilmWorks versions are pretty darn good. The first two of seven episodes are available, with the remaining episodes promised this upcoming week.

Ahoy! Sling Orange + Sports Extra (I can watch LHN via Sling) ESPN+ via Disney, Hulu, ESPN package I can't watch the LHN via ESPN+ via AppleTV or via the web. Error: "Playback could not be started. You do not have full subscriptions to view the requested content. Please upgrade your programming then log back in to view content." The error started a couple of weeks ago and is now bugging the shit out of me. The resolution is better on ESPN+ than via Sling. Ideas?

Typically a DAMN fine live show.

Plant and Krauss at Moody Amphitheater tonight.

MMJ in Taos was pretty freaking awesome.
