Bamas mighty SEC opponents are a combined 5-14 in conference and. Take A&M, their only opponent with a pulse of out that , and the remainder are are 2-12. Mix in a few scrubs and and you have a grand total of Squat.

So it's Saturday evening and the the sky unexpectedly turned blue. The Longhorns aren't playing, so I was looking for something to do. I thought hey that F1 Fan Fest from a couple years ago was a lot of fun maybe I'll go downtown Austin tonight and check it out. Glad I Googled it. The damn Fan Fest is in Miami tonight. Really?

My youngest son in playing little league for the fist time. I keep telling him. "I'm so sorry, another practice/game is canceled again. That's a bummer." Inside I'm like "F-Yeah. No game at 8:00AM on Saturday morning!!!" If we could keep this rain going every Thursday evening through Saturday morning for another 6 weeks, that'd be greeeeeaaaat.

Chargers struggling in LA? Who could have seen that coming. There's a reason the Raiders and Rams left. It's a shitty pro-football town. I've heard it blamed on "to many other things to do", "the weather", and "to many narcissists in LA". Whatever. Once the Rams come back down to earth, the wheels on that bandwagon are gonna fall off as well.

The article is from 2013.... but it doesn't look like much has changed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longhorn_Dam

Breaking News: Asleep at the Wheel has just been confirmed for ACLFest 2019.

699.04 Bitches!!! Climbing at less than a quarter inch an hour now. Could reach 700 around midnight.

Wed 12:30AM - Just moved above 693. to 693.16 9th highest All Time!!! Only 0.32 short of the 7th all time highest level. I'm not sure how much the volume increases, but it's still going up more than a foot an hour and there is rain forecast for days. seems like 700 is possible.

Both Mahomes and Mayfield are way to early in their careers to know which will be a better NFL QB. NFL DCs are really good at figuring out QBs weaknesses. Kaepernick is the poster child for a hot QB who wasn't able to adjust after NFL Defenses figured out how to stop him. Mahomes looks headed for the Brady, Rodgers, Brees area, but 7 starts isn't quite enough...

Look at Jared Goff under Fisher? Now under McVay. Now back to Fisher. Now back to McVay. Coaching Matters. Andy Reid (.609 career) vs Hue Jackson (.202 career)

I'm a Mizuno guy, but Nike has the right slogan. Just do it. Once I got out on the road, the weather wasn't so bad. That's said, I'll take rain over cold any day.

The funny things about Leach's Air Raid Offense is that is isn't 'out there' any more. The rest of the football world has embraced a lot of his ideas. I remember when leach was new at TT, playing them felt almost like playing some bizarro offense that was different from what you saw the rest of the year. Kind-of like playing Army's Wishbone Offense now. It was different. Now, you see that stuff almost every Week. What team has this 5-receiver play in their playbook? That would be the Multi-Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots. Twenty years ago, you had to play a Leach or Mumme to see that kind of set.

That is awesome. I got injured in a half-Ironman a few years back. A full Ironman is unbelievable hard. That is a beast of a race.

How do you get motivated to go for a run in 50-degree cold rain. 😞 I know I have cold weather gear, cause I used to run year round, but don't even know where that stuff is. I guess this is Life's way of asking me if I really want to run that Austin Half- Marathon in February. Put up or Shut up.

This. I'd rather be the one to knock off a complacent WVU. And would rather face an ISU squad that already had their will to fight beaten out of them. Matt Campbell has beaten SIX (6) top 25 teams in the last two seasons. SIX.... including a #6, #4, and #3

Take the logo of the helmets and there's no way you'd guess you're watching a Heisman front runner against a perennial doormat. ISU looks very solid.

Hey this USF OC is pretty good. We should get someone like him.

The fact that the NCAA now recognizes UCF as a National Champion should be all the data points you need to understand that the current system is broken?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Big 12 is an Athletic Conference. It's not an academic association. While great academics adds to an appeal of a school, ultimately, they have to have the athletic chops to fit in the Big 12. Rice, and Tulane do not really fit with the Big 12; they will never push athletics enough to complete. Kansas may suck at football, which is where most of the money is, but they are the undeniable banner holder during basketball season. That national prestige is worth their continued existence in the Big 12. If we tossed Baylor, it has to be for a school that can already be basically competitive. TCU and WV didn't spend a decade trying to catch up; they just dropped in and were competitive. That really eliminates the Texas States and UTSA or the world. Put them in the Big 12 now, and it would take 10 years for them to have the facilities and programs to complete. So who is's out there? Forget about all teams from the BIG, PAC, or SEC? No chance. A mid-level team from the ACC? Like Pitt? or UV? maybe, but most have unbreakable basketball ties. Does anyone really want an east coast school? (other than WVU) An Indy? BYU - No, just No. We don't need to add a prima donna. Notre Dame? No chance, and a bigger prima donna. An upper level American Athletic Conference team? This is probably the only real option: UCF, South Florida, Houston, Cincinnati, or Memphis. Houston might be a good replacement fit for the Big 12, but it's not great for Texas. Don't kid yourself, putting another big state state school on the Big Stage would allow them to compete for recruits far beyond what a small private Baptist school could. Quite frankly, I'd rather keep Baylor.

Stop. Right there you're wrong on Step 1. The most logical system in win a P5 conference you're in, and then have 3 at-large teams. That picks 'Bama when they don't win their division, and has room for who ever is having a magic season, be it UCF/Boise/Houston/ND, whoever.

So far this season, every time I've felt confident in my pick, I get it badly wrong... That streak better end, because I'm confident we're doing some animal abuse this weekend. UT 48 Baylor 21

I know I'm old, but I try to as stay in touch with modern music...but man Travis Scott was hard to listen to. So much AutoTune. Get off my lawn.

They added some French rock band called Phoenix to the 6 p.m. slot on the number 2 (Honda) stage. Damn good show. Lead singer did a little crowd walking.

how exactly did the botch it? No matter what conservative they nominated, the Dems would have done the same type smear tactics to try and derail it. It really didn't matter who it was nominated. Any conservative would have faced the same thing. Or do you mean that they botched it by appointing a conservative, and that they really should have appointed a progressive activist judge.

Metallica is still amazing, I'm a huge fan, but it just hasn't worked out to see them since the Monster's of Rock tour in 1988. !! 2 hours after the show, and my head is still ringing.
