  1. edit-can no longer edit the last post, but still: the sheer number of times where slorch gets upset over something where i literally have no clue what he's talking about is incredible. i didn't post so much as a word of commentary about either Leach or Crabtree, and yet somehow slorch thinks i dissed both of them and is now huffing and puffing about it. I try to make sense of it, but i always end up looking like Ron:
  2. I used to be super into recruiting, and probably the first big body blow that led me to ignoring recruiting altogether was when Perriloux, Fred Rouse, and Martellus Bennett all flashed Hook Em signs together during US Army Bowl practice, only to have none of them commit to Texas. That said, I gotta say that things have worked out fairly well since then. Rouse and Perriloux are now old, fat, nobodies, Tellus didn't do shit at A&M, and I no longer follow recruiting, the most pointless exercise in futility known to man. Wins all around.
  3. Marlon Williams (Pflugerville HS/four year starter at MLB for TTU) was kinda like that in HS. Although our own Antwan Cobb was the tailback at PHS, they would go to Marlon on short yardage situations, and at one point through maybe 6-7 games of his junior year he was averaging something insane like 25+ yards per carry because he already had something like 7-8 TD runs of 50+ yards. He was just that strong, that even 5A athletes at schools like Judson, Smithson Valley, Temple, and the Round Rock schools just couldn't tackle him. He was only getting 3-4 carries per game, but holy shit, when he did it was almost inevitable that he would break a few tackles and then outrun everyone else to the end zone. Dude is a physical freak. Also of note, Marlon is the guy who got twitter banned from Tech for talking shit about Mike Leach, who released a diss track about Michael Crabteee (Crab Scary) while they were teammates, and who then went on to star on The Real World and MTV's The Challenge, so he's kept it entertaining well beyond his HS days. Oh yeah, and he injured Sam Bradford on a pretty mean sack, so as far as TTU players go should pretty much be a Longhorn fan favorite.
  4. The girl was doing promotion for her restaurant on "Star Wars Day" (May the 4th be with you.) ‪Police chief calls for investigation into officers' actions during stormtrooper's arrest in Lethbridge https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/alberta-stormtrooper-bloodied-during-blaster-related-police-response-on-may-the-fourth-1.4925260‬
  5. also, any kind of talk along the lines of "snowflakes" and "virtue signaling", and any of the other cutesy terms that these room temperature IQ-having, never-not-talking-politics asshats love to use so much need to stay in the cloak room where that retarded, combative shit belongs. anyone using that kind of vernacular has zero intentions of having a sincere conversation, and only wants to start a pissing match with whichever side of the aisle they don't like. shit is fucking childish and embarrassing. keep that shit on facebook or CR, whichever retarded echo chamber you prefer.
  6. shut the fuck up with this "virtue signaling" bullshit. you're inserting your own dumbass fucking narrative where it doesn't belong because you're a one-note poster who can't get enough of repeating himself. what part of "two guys saw an unarmed young man jogging by, grabbed their guns, chased him down in their truck, and then shot the unarmed man to death" requires video footage for us to realize that the entire situation is fucked? it has nothing to do with your embarrassing, narrow minded, self righteous bullshit about "snowflakes" or "virtue signaling", you fucking troll.
  7. When I was in 1st grade they taught us about MLK, and about this thing that used to happen in our country called "racism". But then MLK came along, and now blacks, and whites, and mexicans can all go to school together, and now racism is a thing of the past. What a load of shit that turned out to be. Yeah, institutionalized racism is (mostly) a thing of the past in this country, but hatred and ignorance, and a pathetic desire to feel important by carrying/using firearms on those you hate are still very much alive and active, and have been my entire life. From Rodney King, to James Byrd, to Trayvon Martin, to this case, my life has seen a never-ending parade of whites being scared of/attacking/killing blacks, and often times getting away with it, even when there's no doubt that it was a straight up murder. With that said, only a small portion of our population feel/practice this blatant, overt, truly hateful racism. A much bigger problem (in a numbers sense) are the scores of white people who, while not racist themselves, somehow cannot understand or accept that being black in America is absolutely not the same as being white. People with no hatred of other races, people with truly benign-good intentions, who somehow cannot wrap their heads around the concept that a black person's world view and experiences might not analogous to theirs because of their race. This leads these people to do seemingly-benign-but-actually-harmful things like question/doubt the veracity of the whole "this would be different if the skin colors were switched" arguments, or to say, "he simply should just have done this (because i would have done that)", or worse, to even doubt that that true hatred and racism like this still exists all over this country. That video is vile. These people are vile. Their intentions were vile, and the fact that they've (to this point) gotten away with cold-blooded murder scott free *should* be unthinkable, but instead is sadly typical of American justice, particularly in the south. To be honest i'm surprised that we aren't seeing mini race wars popping up all over the place with shit like this being as prevalent as it is. Fuck man. I really can't wrap my head around how human beings can be so disgusting sometimes, and while I hope that justice ultimately prevails in this case, I will still hang my head in shame and bewilderment, knowing that this type of thing will continue to happen for as long as I live.
  8. In all seriousness you're probably thinking of Steve Fallon who went up to NDSU at some point, although I don't think he stayed there very long. Steve Ross did however go on to be the SWTS pxp guy during Claude Mathis's senior year, which was a pretty fun time to be around the program.
  9. Also, wtf happened to the rest of the family? And what happened to storylines involving their actual home/school/city/earth?
  10. i didn't want to be the one to say it since the last time i criticized this show people ran to bellmont and asked immamac to ban me because of it. this season has sucked, and i'm sure i'm not alone when i say that this was my fear when i heard that they were signing up for a gazillion more episodes and then disappearing for a year and a half or whatever before coming back with new stuff. and then to top it off they only release five (really underwhelming) episodes at a time. it's been so bad that i had to unfollow the Rick and Morty subreddit because it's *nothing* but, "you son of bitch; i'm in!" memes, which were never funny to begin with. whatever mojo they had with seasons 1-3 has been lost, and i hope they can somehow recapture it, because if not, then is going to become Community 2.0 where everyone just acts like the show ended after 3 seasons even though it didn't.
  11. Here's a guy from recent times who I feel like hasn't been talked about since the day he played his last game for Texas, despite him having a pretty damn impressive resume: •HS All American •5* recruit/no.1 in the nation at his position •All Big XII Freshman Team •Two-time 1st team All Big XII •2012 Big XII DPOY •2012 First Team All American •Alamo Bowl MVP with a record 4.5 sacks in the game •Played HS ball 15 miles from DKR and led his team to the state title game If Alex Okafor played on better teams as a junior and senior he'd be talked about a helluva lot more.
  12. how about KiKi DeAyala? Guys this good should be known by future generations, but i doubt many fans under 40 have even heard of him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. that shit was so crazy to me. in the fucking locker room, minutes after winning back to back titles he goes out of his way to say, "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, I AM!!!!" what a fucking troll. he reaped what he sowed.
  14. Rex, the discussion was not, "Charlie Ward is the greatest football player of all time", it was "Charlie Ward has the most impressive athletic resume of all time", which is what I responded to with my list. but yeah, i'm the one here "being a bitch". not the people negging me without a response, or the guy insulting me and actually calling me a bitch because he can't read good. yeah, that's the ticket.
  15. in news that was just broken by Mike Sielski, Michael Jordan can hold a grudge.
