  1. Jason Burleson. I was really excited to receive a subscription to Robert Heard's Inside Texas newsletter (an actual snail mail, paper newsletter about UT sports) for my birthday back in 1987 or 1988. Heard talked Burleson up something fierce. Listed him at 6'7", explained how that height was going to produce a QB the likes of which the world had never seen. Pretty sure he ended up at TE and never really did much.
  2. First time beating a ranked team since 2003. They played at Globe Life because of the weather. Those boys were super jacked about the whole experience.
  3. Why anyone would want to be a part of the Cowboys' organization in any capacity is beyond me. Intentional mediocrity. As long as they're on the front page and worth the most money, they don't give a shit.
  4. Conversely, the sane voice in a sea of crazy people might look like the crazy one
  5. Nah, I like it. It’s announcing to the world that they are going pro even if it’s their only option. Lots of high school players and their parents might not know. And keeps us front and center. Keep them coming.
  6. Based on Helobius’ recent assessment, KJ Lacey will be our first Heisman winner at QB
  7. Drives me crazy that their punter got hurt and we STILL weren't looking for the fake. Felt the same way about the last play. They send in Beck with a broken arm and we STILL couldn't stop that run up the gut.
  8. The best part of this is that they really believe that they ever held this sort of leverage.
  9. Maybe because they didn’t call Elko for delay of game during his sweaty endless diatribe
  10. Watched with my (almost) grown kids last night. At one point Elko lifted his hat up and my daughter said, ”Holy crap what happened to his hairline?” Son responded immediately, “He ate it!” 🤘🏼
  11. None of them, if they aren’t recruited and don’t commit and/or sign.
  12. Maybe some from those areas but I’m mostly talking about the more affluent portions of Northside and Northeast ISD inside 1604.
  13. There's a lot of white flight from north and northeast San Antonio towards NB and Boerne and all points in between. And a whole lot of the people I know are moving/have moved into this belt at least in part because of its social and political conservatism. The whole area has been red for as long as I've been around it (~35 years). German Americans and others frequently fall into that category of R's that despise Trump but don't have the moxy to jump ship.
  14. He prefers Bush’s too
  15. Their self image is made up of feeling like they are special, and only they can see it, and the rest of the world is just trying to fuck them over. They aren't alphas, and they never will be. The reality is that they are uniquely retarded. They value their uniqueness over everything, because it's the only thing that makes them feel special. And therein lies the problem: they aren't special. They are the common clay of the new west.
  16. These guys win their precious natties in mental gymnastics. Every single year.
  17. I admire your ability to sort through that unadulterated bullshit.
  18. This was the Cole Pittman game, IIRC
  19. Maybe mostly true. There is that cool sales tax exemption though. Which is real money if you can get it.
  20. Surly point well taken. Now I’m thinking that the knock wasn’t against flips, but flips who did it more than once. That makes more sense honestly.
  21. If Landon Rink turns out to be analogous to his dad as a football player, he belongs at A&M more so than Texas. His dad wasn’t bad but nothing to write home about while we were being dominated by RC and friends. I’m curious about some of the dynamics at play now. In the past, CTJ has talked about how “flips” aren’t the most desirable players to have on roster. Their hit rates suck. Sark goes about things differently. He’s apparently not about the hard sell. He’s more about the long game. I wonder how this plays with the previous notion that flips aren’t all that desirable. Regardless, this is fun to watch. I continue to feel nothing but remorseless and merciless fuck you to all of our cheating, bag throwing rivals. Most of all A&M and OU, but not limited to them. Fuck yall. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
  22. OU not being a true road game really narrows the field here.
  23. Maybe. I can’t figure out why AI is so fucking long-winded.
  24. Funny that W, of all people, understood it early on.
  25. Oh yeah. When it comes to high school baseball recruiting, I could write a tome. It's a strange sport to judge. What separates great from good is consistency. And that's hard to judge in high school because good players often end up with the same stats as (eventual) great players. Also, it's a sport where physical size doesn't mean a whole lot, to a point. Relationships are everything. Did your kid get on with Marucci in time to be their premier SS for the next three years? Did you play college baseball? Do you have relationships with college coaches because you played? These are important questions in the baseball recruiting world. Camps are important, but only if the people putting on the camps have their eyes on you when you show up. Otherwise, the camps are mostly money grabs. This is the ultimate networking sport. And if you don't have a network, here's what happens (from experience): Your kid struggles to get D1 offers, even though he is a three year varsity starter (hitting .400+ each year). He runs a 6.36 60, with velos to match. I know this is what happens, because it happened to us. It's not sour grapes. My kid did end up playing D1. I won't be surprised if big schools come after him this year or next. It's such a different game from college football or basketball. Look at rosters across the sport. Players on their third school are the rule, not the exception.
