I'd say zero. It would take 5 days of this kind of flooding to overflow the dam here. This lake is the lowest it has ever been since it was filled up after the dam was built. My family has a house just downriver from Sattler in Little Ponderosa and it's right on the river. Like 20 steps from the back door to the water. It's been there since the early 50s. We aren't worried in the slightest. All this water will simply be caught by the lake and stay there.

Britt and I graduated together. I used to go to Texas games in high school with the entire Eastland family. Edward is the youngest of the brothers. He and his wife are on the list of people unaccounted for. God damnit.

Parents are texting each other and any Mystic counselors pictures of their daughters along with their phone numbers in case anyone can identify them if they are found. They are “have you seen me?”-esque. I’m 300 miles away and watching my kids and their friends running around the neighborhood and I’ve had go sit by the toilet a couple of times because I was about to puke. These girls are clearly not old enough to manage anything like this on their own, the pictures are completely haunting.

The original Jaws profoundly affected the vacation culture for decades and I can testify. In or about 1990 Mama Llama, baby girl Llama (then age 6) and I were hosting my wife’s niece, a beanpole skinny, cute, hyperactive, precious but very easily spooked girl of 10 for July 4th weekend. Then as now, we lived about ten minutes from the Gulf of Mexico (!) public beaches. Mama was basking on the beach while I entertained the kids about 75 feet offshore as they floated in a rubber dinghy about four feet long. Surf was smooth to moderate with the occasional big breaker. I was in chest deep water, holding onto the little boat to keep it steady. The game was to make the girls face away from the breakers and have a big OH WOW EEK! adventure when a big breaker would occasionally crash in, nearly swamping the SS Minnow and drenching us all. This went on nicely for 15 or 20 minutes until a disturbing sound registered in my lizard brain. It was Mama calling my name with a certain tone I had come to recognize after 20 years of marriage. I couldn’t hear distinctly because of the surf noise and hundreds of kids and adults clamoring, All that was missing was Chief Brody. I looked at Mama’s spot on the beach only to see her unoccupied towel and our cooler beside it. Then I found her standing all the way down to the edge of the water, staring at me and indicating with gestures “look over to your right.” Without telling the kids, who were faced away fron me as the game required, I scanned the water to my right . . . and saw that which I had been dreading since first seeing Jaws in 1975 - a sleek, gray, BIG triangle, sliding through the water. It sas only about 100 feet away and heading gradually in my general direction. Son of a bitch. I could imagine if not actually feel those sharp white teeth clamping on my right leg and my femoral artery gushing away. Fearing the wrath of Mama more than any creature in the universe, I decided if I was checking out on that day, I would try my best to get my passengers back to shore. I started to walk toward shore and pushing the boat before me, keeping my eyes on the gray triangle of certain death, which was now closer to us than we were to the shore. The girls immediately began to protest, “Awwww! Noooo! We don’t wanna go in yet!” I said something lame about needing to rest a minute. Niece Llama chose that moment to look at my face. She saw where I was looking and with the uncanny radar sense of a preadolescent, looked to our right and saw . . . IT. Quick as a flash, she stood up in the boat, pointed with a long skinny arm and screamed “SHHHAAAAAARRRRRKK!!” and jumped rihht out of the boat into the fucking water! My attention was now divided between protecting my baby, my wife’s favorite niece and somehow moving closer to dry land. I reached out and grabbed my niece, who was wiggling like a sack of squirming eels, told my daughter to look for her mama and paddle but STAY IN THE BOAT. Guys, it was nightmarish. My feet couldn’t find solid purchase, waves were smacking me from behind, salt water was in my eyes, the crazy niece was screaming for her life and a fucking real shark was now 20 feet away, swimming in a slow arc but on a trajectory I didn’t like. At this point other beachgoers, swimmers. kids and adults in and out of the water, were making for land. Finally, FINALLY I made enough headway to get more of my body out of the water than in. Mama rushed out, grabbed the bow of the little boat and pulled our baby to safety as I hauled the shivering shaking niece to the beach. I turned and saw what turned out to be a seven foot sand shark glide through the water where we had just been, the shark calmly zigging and zagging, feeding on bait fish or something until his dorsal fin went under and he was out of my life, thank God! Jaws the movie made me find strength and jacked me full of adrenaline that day, I tell you what. For about three very tense minutes that day, a great white shark terrified this guy in the coastal waters of Alabama but all he ate were a few shad.

The older girls cabins at Mystic are higher on the hill but closer to the river. The younger girls cabins are lower but at the back of the camp further from the banks. Overall the camp is along the river so if it goes up 30 ft I’m not sure there is anywhere to go.

Sorry if it's been discussed, but what does TOF going for-profit mean, if anything? Who does the profit go to?

Fuck. We’re in Ingram. Two of my friends and I are going to work from land. Sheriffs and Firefighters are going in the boats.

We are leaving in the morning anyway, just wondering if I should go today. We've only had steady light rain with bursts of heavier stuff.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Hayduke replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
I'm torn between seeing this question as a serious one or trolling. Because of your post numbers, I'm leaning toward the idea that you're poking the bear here, but it's not a strong lean (and apologies in advance whether you're serious or if I've just let the joke fly over my head). Regardless, here's a link showing NCAA athletic revenue and expense data from 2024. Using $50 million in revenue as a cut-off figure, there were only 69 US universities who had at least that amount in 2024. Regardless, virtually every school listed the same expenditures as income. I suspect that once a school is anywhere below $100 million in revenue, sharing $20 million of that with the athletes directly is going to take some serious and painful shifting. That part won't be painful for Texas or Ohio State. Probably a lot more painful for Tech, Arizona, Arizona State and Kansas, all ranked in the 35-40ish range in revenue (likely BYU in here, too, but as a private, it wasn't listed). And once a school gets down to around $50 million total revenue, I'd guess they start taking a much harder look in the coming years at what intercollegiate competition means to them. -
@Chewbacca what did you end up going with? Rod/reel porn pics aren't loading for some reason...

For those familiar with the Canyon Lake area, what are the chances of problems on the Guadalupe River below the dam? We are currently at a resort camp place on the river and are wondering if they will be passing water down stream and should we leave while we can. I had thought Canyon Lake was low so it may just fill it up?

Yesterday, we got there at around 715pm, so I do not know what time they "officially" ran out of the lamb chops (but had found a few secret ones). The pan in the picture is around 9" x 12", so the lambchops are around 5"-6" from the beginnging to teh end of the meat and around 2" wide. I'd guess i was around 1.5" thick. When I got it, I thought "kinda small" but after that and the bowl, I was stuffed. $8.50 for one lamb chop. And the bowl was $18.50.

We have a literal rainy day fund. Wonder if it will get used -
We just heard about a particular girl, one that was the only one in her cabin unaccounted for. You heard several dozen. I heard 26. It’s past Noon. I have a feeling this is going to be very bad.

the b1g OWNS the orkin bedbug list
SydneyCarton replied to Hagbard Celine's topic in Food and Travel
while not technically burying the lede here, it sure seems like you’re focusing on the less interesting details. Were you just shopping for a gimp to store in the basement, or did you flat out kill the guy so you could feel something? I think we can all agree that a work trip to Wichita sounds terrible, but probably not Murder A Hobo terrible. -
Sinners - Coogler, Goransson, and Michael B Jordan
Sawbonz replied to GreenspointTexas's topic in Movies and TV
Man I really wanted to love this but Michael B Jordan is always going to be Wallace to me. Just too “nice” to play a believable villain or antihero imo Pretty over the top with the White Devil theme. The woman who is passing is what leads to their downfall. I get it but I like my symbolism a tad more subtle Visually stunning and the dialogue was good to great. Music great no doubt I did find the damned if you do damned if you don’t plotline compelling. Fight an ultimately unwinnable war vs the crackers or become vampires which gives you protection but banishes you to the night. Could have fleshed out the similarities between Irish and black oppression commonalities a bit more And I just don’t like to see my vampires out before dark (fuck twilight). Have some minions for that preliminary shit Good flick but probably won’t be a multiple rewatch for me -
Man.... I used to talk so much shit about how good David Ash was going to be in any given game. I remember yelling at my buddy who always picked against Texas (or just me) "I hope these motherfuckers keep blitzing, so he can keep lighting their ass up and we can hear Gus Johnson yelling " ASH!! To the ENDZOOOOONE! TOUCHDOWN TEXAS!" But alas, those blitzes... And the runs. Dude was an athlete. I guess we should be thankful that he didn't help Charlie Strong and Shawn Watson win games.

Just trying to put out what can be found. This was the first real reference to a news report on my former camp Waldemar so I wanted to share. we all realize things are fluid right now so nothing is 100% but it’s encouraging to hear any news regarding Waldemar at this point,

We could recruit the best 100 players in the country one cycle, sign 25-30 of them, and people will be bitching about the 70-75 that we didn’t get. Or the string of 4 or more in a row that didn’t go our way. -
I'll answer that one. The adults in charge were not paying attention to the weather, or they said "nawwww the water can't go THAT high, it never has."
-
Sark is going to have a 1,000 back. It's more part of his plan than great QB play. That 1000 yd back is what creates the opportunity for great QB play... And with Texas now playing what feels like 17 games. 1000 yds is like 47 yards a game.

When the mayor's only advice was "please pray" you know it's going to be a long next few days.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Hornmatic replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Each recent loss should be evaluated case by case. Some were for reasons other than nil primarily (Crowell, Griffin, Lee), others were because we were willingly outbid (Calicut). With others the competing team went stupid overboard (Henderson, guervil, ojo) In these cases we wouldn’t have matched even in a pre-House world. The sentiment I disagree most with is that House is a massive game changer and somehow we aren’t cheating hard enough. At the very most it’s causing programs to either have or think they have more money right now. I don’t believe it’s impacting our ability to make competitive, responsible offers, in the least. But if others in the know disagree, I’m willing to listen. -
So, last year we had some pretty good floods near August that put a bit over 2 feet in the lake. The ground was dry as fuck then and the water table was low so a lot got absorbed. Now the water table is up quite a bit and the ground has been pretty soaked over the last couple of months so the lake should catch quite a bit more runoff. Here's a crazy visual comparison of then compared to now, river-flow wise, from the gauge right now in Comfort. All heading here...
