Hell of a day to be a Longhorn- Texas beats UNC (again) to win Maui Invitational and stay undefeated. Then we go and hire one of the best CFB coaches in the history of the game.

Next time get the Honey BBQ Chicken Strip Sandwich, but substitute Honey Butter for the BBQ sauce. It's phenomenal.

Get a whatachicken and have them add a beef patty. I call it the Whatachow.
And this is why that if I shaved my head and beard I’d look like Ketchup.

Can y’all imagine the first home game if 100% occupancy is allowed by next fall? South end zone complete with fucking Urban Meyer leading the horns out? Fuck Ketch & his sand bag titties. 

The loudest Texas Fight of all time would bring a tear to my eye. Ok maybe two.

Ha. Dude, I am from the north side of Pasadena. That means I grew up on the ship channel, in the chemical smoke, and everyone was poor as fuck and everything stank and was more or less miserable. There might be worse places in Texas, maybe, but Bastrop ain’t one of them. Sorry for your losses with the wood though. 

I spent most of March-June, then August, in Galveston. If you’re not there for the beach because you’re not a poor from greater Houston or Oklahoma down visiting, the rest of what Galveston offers for folks who live there is terrific. I haven’t been down in a few weeks and miss it immediately. 

I love Galveston. 
 

The contender I would submit for biggest shithole in Texas would be the poorly named Crystal City.

Yeah I don’t know about hunting season so I could be wrong. Would still think there’s places to be discrete there with the conference center.

But to go completely undetected there and no leaks? That seems hard.

Remember - wearing those masks doesn't just help you to get away after robbing a bank.  It might just let you walk through a hotel lobby in a different city without being recognized.  I'm sure someone else either reserved the room and gave him the key, or gave him a phone with the digital key programmed into it.  I've gone 6-8 weeks of checking into Hiltons without hitting the front desk once.

I just want my kid to experience a magical season like I did in 2005, 2008, and 2009. Poor guy has only experienced the lost decade with the lone sugar bowl win as our crowning achievement. He thought Sam would be in the Heisman race this year. He thought we would easily win a down big12. Despite the 2020 Herman Shit Show, he still believes. He believes in UT more than he believes in Santa Claus at this point.

I'm probably a year or two older than your kid and graduating this year.  I still believe but a bad coaching hire after Herman will end my fandom.  I will probably still watch Baseball but that's about it because I feel like the team has never let me down.

Well worth tanking this season to get Meyer. And a tip of the cap for Turtle Tom rolling out his greatest hits against Iowa State last weekend with that fake punt and 4th down try.

You guys rock on coaching searches. Absolutely amazing

To the people questioning HSB, well, you don't really know Horseshoe Bay. I grew up in the area and once worked there when I was young. There are areas of HSB that none of the middle class get to see. Stuff that is every bit as expensive, and nicer, than Lake Austin. You just can't get on it.

UT-Austin has a long standing relationship at HSB for decades and decades. They host golfing events for the athletics dept., etc out there every year, many of the top execs have homes out there, etc.

HSB is used quite frequently in coaching searches, as well. Much easier to hide someone in HSB than downtown Austin. Much easier to fly in the HSB airport than ABIA.

With that said, it is usually used when a deal is done or almost done. In other words, they wouldn't be trying to wine and dine Urban Meyer at HSB. At this point, they would just finishing up some paperwork and preparing for his introductory speech as the Texas football coach.

If Urban is in HSB, and it seems he may be, then Urban Meyer is the 31st head football coach in the history of Texas. I would expect Herman to fired very soon

Guys I'll be in HSB on Saturday and staying the night. House is a block from the resort.

you know I was running through the traps and just didn't in my mind think oh yeah covid masks.  Partly because I haven't been in a hotel since covid broke.  but yeah, he could go nearly undetected completely.  crazy how awesome that is.

I spent little league travel season parking at Hilton side entrances, using the stairways, and having the key sent to my phone. Never saw anyone.

My family has a house down in Pirates beach and we love the hell out of it. Big RIP to cafe Michael Burger though

Didn't know it had gone bye bye.  Spot is about the best burger you'll find on the island....If you venture to the mainland Carlos's Beer Garden in League City makes a good one too.....Don't know if Tookies is still around in Kemah but they were pretty good.

 

Best oysters in Texas can be found at Gilholleys in San Leon.

That Horseshoe Bay resort must be a ghost town in early Dec in the middle of a pandemic. Perfect place to hole up and wait for Herman to get fired.

I believe none of this, but if we land Urban Meyer, I'll hoover a couple of rails off Tom Herman's tits to celebrate.

Oh please! Seadrift, Port Lavaca and Bloomington is where it really gets nasty!

I remember hearing on Houston talk radio in the early 2000’s that Port Lavaca and Cuero led the state in per capita aid’s cases in the state.  Both are confirmed shit holes.  Let’s not forget Yoakum in this talk either.

I hope they fire Herman and get a contract inked tomorrow. No sense in waiting for that meaningless k-state game. Gives urban a head start in recruiting

I'm done for the day, but if I wake up in the morning to a PDF of the signed contract, I won't be surprised. This is an ingenious group of SOBs. Well done, Assholes.

Yup, rona got it. Love the spot, but usually I’m too drunk to eat out anywhere or venture too far. I’ll take the golf cart to the country club and hit up Watermans, really good

It’s just something I’m having a REALLY hard time getting over...it bothers me that they’re like, “We’re true Texan, blah blah blah” but yet they fucking SOLD ThE HELL OUT to a yankee firm.

Maximum exposure would be to leak both during Game Day with Urban able to talk about it when Big Noon Kickoff starts an hour later... but I don't think they'll be able to keep it quiet that long.

If they mention it during Game Day, Herbie may cry again on camera

Galveston is great all around.  The beach down towards San Luis Pass is actually pretty deserted and can get fairly clear water.  Port A is better Beach wise but it's ridiculously crowded these days.

Port A beach is marginally better. But I’ve also had the trip where you show up and there’s massive stinky piles of seaweed stacked high. No bueno. Galveston restaurants and stuff for kids to do is light years ahead of Port A.

first surly smells smoke and gets to work, a few 995 bones out there (kudos to Burton), then surly all but confirms through first class detective work and a mountain of circumstantial evidence, then outlets like SI say there are rumors that have legs, then shitrags break the story, then ketch brags about getting more subscribers with another coin toss update, then the story breaks mainstream, and we talk about just about anything from mayo to guns to burgers to how many championships UM will win as we wait for the official announcement.  folks we did the work.  well I mean I did offer to go to ABIA on the wrong night to stalk the runways, but had no takers, so it's really we not just the royal we.

Wouldn't it be the craziest if the offense blew the top off without Herman on the sidelines?  Find out he's been handicapping it this whole time.

I would have as well but I was contracting and the company used those damn WEX random credit card numbers.  Every 4-6 weeks one wouldn't work.  I hated those, and honestly that was one of the reasons I left and went permanent with the company I was contracted out to.  Well, that and the fact that they moved me from hell in Florida back to Texas again.
