I know we've been taught to not worry about a grown man's tweet count, but what's up with Carrington not tweeting since Jan 1 and Drayton since the 18th? Pretty much part of their jobs..

Drayton barely Tweets. Carrington is weirder.

Also Michael Taffee the white DB from Westlake, he was followed by Gideon and he has been liking a bunch of Texas stuff. He is the one that caught those picks off Ewers.

I’ve been up there in September and it was beautiful. That’s when we’d be playing them, so there’s a chance.

Sounds like Eric Gray might be a pussy if he doesn't want to battle it out. He knows Bijan would have him carrying his pads. 

 

I'd love to have LJ, but at this point I just want Blue in '22. Bijan, Rojo, Brooks should be fine for the season.

He's not a pussy for wanting to maximize his draft stock on a team that should be really good next year, come on dude.

Spent almost twenty years in the PNW between Seattle, Sebastopol, CA and PDX. Portland cranks the freak knob to 11. Makes Austin look like Lubbock... you have no idea.

My old neighbor in Kirkland was a Husky letterman in the 70’s on the Sonny Sixkiller teams. Old school Seattle... Norwegian dude from Ballard. He blames the tech invasion and subsequent “pussification” for U-Dub’s mediocrity. Used to be a total blue-collar state where your old man either logged, fished or worked on the line at Boeing.

Washington is better now than it was in the 70s so that’s a take.

Sounds like the grad transfer took Lawrence's spot.

Texas needed a guy that can be on the depth chart next year. Lawrence has great potential but he's a 2 year (at a minimum) project at Texas.

Now it looks like the depth chart may be full at the DE/OLB hybrid position with Bimage, Thornton, Oghoufo, and hopefully a re-engaged Dorbah.

Composite v 247 internal. He's now 12 in the composite with the bump from 247

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/247Sports.com#247Sports_Composite

  Quote

247Sports features two ratings for high school football and basketball recruits: its own in-house evaluations done by its scouting staff, and also the 247Sports Composite ratings. The Composite aggregates the public ratings for a prospect by the major recruiting services using a propriety algorithm.[11] The Composite originally combined the ratings from 247Sports' in-house ratings, Rivals.com, ESPN, and Scout.com. Since 247Sports' acquisition of Scout in 2017, the Composite now only includes the former three constituent ratings. The Composite also does not include any athletes that do not yet have a recruiting profile on 247Sports, to prevent spoofs from other sites.[12] The resulting rankings can be considered an industry consensus on the top recruits in the nation.[13][14]

The bump came from Rivals, he jumped 49 spots there, up to #13 nationally.

Agree that a series with Washington would be amazing. Or Oregon for that matter. That entire PNW area is just beautiful in the fall. 
 
With all the tech companies and startups coming to Austin, feels like it has a lot more in common with Seattle and Portland than ever. Although Portland kind of feels like it has been trying too hard to match Austin's culture/weirdness for a while now. 
Say what now? Seattle and Portland are the originals when it comes to weirdness. Austin may have given them a run for the money 25 years ago or so, but not these days when the weirdness seems a little forced.

So did I. They’re at the very least roughly equal. They were a 9-10 win program with a few conference titles in the late 70s/early 80s and that’s what they are now. With the CFP in 16 to boot.

Weirdness has changed in Austin, Portland, and Seattle. Austin use to be Willie Nelson and Vietnam vet liberal. Seattle and Portland use to have their own flavor based on the fishing industry. San Francisco was home to flower children. Now they are all pretty standard California liberal. I wouldn't call any of them weird at all: It isn't counterculture. It is like someone coloring their hair red, getting a mohawk, wearing leather and going to a punk bar. Everyone is the same and they are just doing the same thing their friends are doing so they can fit into their own clique.

I think Brendan Harris does most digital stuff for him, so it's probably connected to the sluggishness in letting him and Carrington know they were getting rehired.

Ok.  I guess you have a higher opinion of them than I do.  That was a plateau based upon Sark leaving in a good place talent wise and a really good gameday coach coming in.  I see Washington as an 8 win team this past decade with a 1 off blip that happened one time and see that as their last gasp at national relevance when all the stars aligned for them, with a prognosis of back to being nationally irrelevant.
