All of you talking about registration. You haven't experienced anything like the 60s in  Gregory Gym. It was hot. It was crowded. Sometimes waiting from Monday morning until Friday afternoon for a closed class that you wanted to open up. Afraid to even go to the RR in fear that it might open and then close again while you were taking a piss.  That was the real back in the day. 

My mother told me about that.  Course she also had to put on a dress to walk across campus for PE and then change.

I try to make it a habit of not wishing harm on others but after the last few pages I desperately hope the brakes on some of your rascal mobility scooters go out and you sail into oncoming traffic.

I would be disappointed with my kid as well if he was carrying proof that he was a member of the Schutzstaffel in his wallet...

He is hanging with a bad crowd, with Aggies.

Here’s how fucked up it was back in the day, they would post a list of everyone’s SSN on a bulletin board and that’s how you found out your grade.

When my MIL turned 80 I gave her a birthday card that said “Remember the the Alamo” on the front, and the inside “I bet you do”.

I signed it with a smiley face.

Tell us a story about walking uphill both ways in the snow to stand in line for registration or GTFO, sonny.

[Tylerocks 2603]

When I was registering in person in the 80's, my dad had actually gone back to school as well.

He already had a successful career with a string of Big and Tall shops.

Anyway, the day of registration, I'm waiting in line with my buddy Derek.  Dad shows up and couldn't believe the lines, so he took matters into his own hands.

He had his limo driver pose out front of the building with a sign that said Bruce Springsteen.

Place cleared out quick....got into that Astronomy class!

No, silly.

Dad's name is Thornton.  The "Bruce Springsteen" was a ruse to draw people out of the building so we had the run of the registration area.

Absolutely. I fought next to John Wayne. I was 12 at the time and Armybrat was a 6th year senior at UT. BTW, you are now demoted back to Private Slaughter.

Shit, Bo Davis leaving has signees Robinson & January considering options... both midterm enrollees.

No that’s only if a head coach leaves. However, they can portal during the second window

[Huckleberry 34655]

Correct, they can only get out of the NLI if we release them. But I believe the NLI still binds them for a full year, correct?

Expected, but they won't be able to until the spring transfer window. Lets see who we wind up with as  DL coach and if Sark can smooth things out.

Spring window is April 15-30.

I forgot that January came down to LSU and Texas

Yup, there's no counter-story yet. After the hire I'd imagine it will all calm down.

Recall his father is a former Texas football player, so I am not worried. D'Antre Robinson is more likely to the DT recruit that Bobby was referring to.

I'm sure Fat Ketch will post his story shortly, but he's reporting it is Robinson that may be asking for his LOI release.

Didn’t Robinson do some flakey shit previously?  Seems like he’s seeking a reason not to be a Horn so I wouldn’t be surprised.

He visited Florida. 

Not sure if that is construed as flakey considering recruits take post-commitment visits all the time.

Plus, kids will be kids and he's a kid.

Maybe wimmenz romancing each other was on the visit itinerary due to how Florida's season was going at the time.

He visited Florida after telling the coaches he wasn’t visiting Florida.

"Seeking a reason not to be a ____" is always the weirdest phrase about guys who commit or are interested in a school. "Had a tough time with his decision and has lots of ties to Florida" would be more accurate.

I'm sure Fat Ketch will post his story shortly, but once he has finished his second dessert.
