Someday ctj and SC will be among the geriatrics that we bully off the board. Then me and my fellow youths will finally be able to instill our culture of love, acceptance, patience, natties, and just asking questions.

Figure It Out What GIF by CBC

You know a lot of 10/11 year olds wearing pull ups?

There is an age limit on package? Like puzzles? I’m so old I might need them in a few years!

Sir, we’re Gen X, not boomers. We’ve never had the numbers to create any kind of culture. And in already old. 
 

that being said your culture sounds turrible. 

Man I don’t know anything but I date a millennial 26 years younger and her generation sucks. No work ethic and tries to tell me how to run my business having never worked, but she sucks well.

Well that’s the conundrum. I’m getting sex from someone 26 years younger and no the expense is cheaper than being married.  But yes she is still smarter than me.

Encouraging to see some 20’s-30’s on surly. Please take over. As soon as possible. 

Youngs don’t do internet message boards.  It’s why all are aging and will die out in a generation.

That’s a pretty sweeping generalization that I would challenge. I’m 33 and have been visiting shag/surly since I was in college.  Purely anecdotal, but I have several younger cousins/in laws that at least lurk on their respective teams’ message boards if not actively post. Like fresh out of college age.
 

At least for football stuff, football nerds will find other football nerds. That and reddit is a real bitch to navigate.

If immamac for some reason decided to migrate Surly to Discord I’d probably have to off myself.

I have no idea how that place works. I’m a veteran of everything from dial-up BBSs with ASCII art to AOL Communities to message boards.

I’m 31 since it seems to matter to several on here, and please don’t compare me to that idiot. A year or two ago Derka tried to goad us into a 1v1 basketball game after ztejas posted some video of himself taking jump shots and I made fun him for it. But I wasn’t going to drive all the way up to Austin just to fucking dogwalk some internet guy at a public court. That was the most extensive exchange I cared to have with him.

So, much like aggy, Helobious is undefeated in every game he's never played.

When I started on Longhorn message boards in the late 90s, I was still in school and early 20s.  Many, many users were my age.  

Now most are still my age or older.  Younger generations really do not use internet message boards like my generation or older ones.  It's true for other message boards also that I have been a part of.  A lot are dying off or at least have an aging user base because they do not attract younger users.

Be interesting to do a poll on ages for Surly.  I am betting I am right around the median or below it.  And I am 48.

There's almost no actual transfer news until the spring window, so you'll get what's here and you'll like it. Besides, this at least this topic makes me feel incredibly young.

the spring window opens April 16 -

Do we really need 2.5 months of pure speculation over what backup may enter the portal from Texas?

They don't want the spring game to be an ad for all of their backups ahead of the spring window opening.

Also, the festival atmosphere is great, but spring games are a dumb concept that has been around so long people act like it's a cherished tradition. Just do Pro Bowl stuff and flag football and keep all of the fan activities.

Our backups are all high-4 and 5 star players. Everyone knows these dudes are talented and other schools are going to come in with promises of seeing the field faster. I don't think tape from a spring game is going to spotlight some hidden gem. There are a lot of valid reasons not to have a spring game. This seems like the dumbest.

I think opening up the entire facility for fans that day would be really cool. Have them take tours through the locker rooms, go on the field, see the training facilities, and etc would be a cool idea. Have tents setup for players autographs on the field, pictures with Bevo, Big Bertha, and involve the smokey people for pictures there. Have a carnival on Bevo Blvd, food trucks, and etc. Pretty much open the whole bottom section of DKR to fans to roam about and you could even turn this into a huge NIL fundraiser.

Last year we were spoiled because the Saban retirement right around this time cascaded the coaching carousel and we saw a flurry of portal activity. I think even the Spring window will be kinda stale for a team like Texas.

As for the Spring game coaches are worried about a breakout backup being poached before the window opens, it is one thing to have 4 star backups, but have one show tape playing lights out is not something they want to deal with.
