Thanks. I have been on the boards since 1997 when I was a student at Texas. We've spent decades as fans and board patrons feeling powerless to create any real change. The Internet, social media,

I work closely with a certain previously committed 5 star QB's father (hint: its Quinn Ewers, for those who haven't been following recruiting closely like I have) and chatted with him a bit this after

Football fandom and innocence is over. It’s a business. It’s money. It’s mercenaries. It’s about screwing the fan for as much money as possible. The coaches and players couldn’t care less about wins and losses and the schools, except to the extent it impacts a payday. Merry Christmas!

Said I was done last year and I renewed. My kids declined invitations after the okie lite game. We've avoided human shit, aggressive & naked bums walking over through west campus the last 2 years. I might stick to mbb/wbb/softball/baseball moving fwd.

I don't blame anyone for being turned off either by the product on the field or the new atmosphere for college athletics.

I get that.

I do think Xavier Worthy played his guts out for us this year and if you want to reward an actual hard-working bright spot you can donate to his award in the NIL forum.

 

Hook'em.

I’d push back on players and coaches. To get to the highest level you almost have to have some sort of inherent competitiveness unless you’re just freakishly gifted. And for coaches, just as few years as a P5 HC and you are set for life. Yeah, it’s more transactional than it used to be, but there’s a reason winning begets good recruiting. And guys don’t coach into their 60s and 70s because they need the money.

What if my tradition is to walk a few miles to the game...

Do some laps, motherfucker. Walking a few steps past crazy homeless people is just part of being in a big city. Don't make eye contact and don't respond when they ask for something and they won't act like seagulls to a bag of chips. 

Parts of Austin are gross from homeless now, but campus is gorgeous as ever. Don't be a bitch.

Venables? know his history but first time head coach anywhere? i'll take it.

also, does he even have a twitter? lol

I guess Stoops and Riley were both hired without any HC experience but they were both much younger/up and coming guys at the time. It does seem pretty meh for them.

Fixed to include treefiddy and burnt ends peeps. 

I kept it to just the board contributors for now because we hadn't confirmed with X yet, we have confirmed that he'll accept it but waiting on timing. When we get more info on timing I'll open it up to the poors and lurkers. 

If you don't want to wait and you trust surlyhorns use the donate button and donate to the slush fund.
