I recall watching them at the drum thinking "why the hell don't you just throw it down in the paint to him every possession??". Then we watched him shoot FTs and thought "huh, yeah now I see why".

I founded out one game in like 7 minutes. We had hack a Shaq before it was cool

Yup. I’d imagine dealing with hot wheels and mummy lesbian Dan Patrick has caused him to hit his limit. 

Well, he will not be completely rid of it. SMU is going in front of the Texas Supreme Court soon, as they are trying to break free from the Methodist Church.

Albert Burditt gave me a concussion in Gregory.  My dumb ass thought taking a charge in a pickup game against an actual monster was a good idea.

I broke my ribs doing the same thing. A 6’6” kid (skinny as a rail) thought he could dunk on me. I didn’t want to run under him so I stood still and figured he would go around me. Nope. I turned at the waist just when he went up so I wouldn’t get hit in the face and his knobby knee hit me in the left of my back. And he wasn’t within 5ft of making the bucket. Luckily there was an ER doc playing with us so he got me right in without waiting. Pissed me off as it sucked working while the ribs healed. Shit it hurt breathing.

I've told it before, numerous times, but fuck it, it's been awhile. 

My sophomore and junior years, we played G-Ball in Galveston. The police escort would pick us up at the Causeway and bring us to the barbed-wire protected stadium. Each year, we were GBall's homecoming. You walk off the bus and angry fans are throwing food and drink at us, 2 hours before the game, and they're taunting us with "little ass whiteboys!!" and "dirty ass mexicans!" as we scrambled for the locker room. 

Just before kickoff, regrouped in the shitty locker room underneath the north end zone bleachers, we're getting the pep talk from the HC when the ceiling starts dropping paint and dust as the whole building shakes. "Oooo, Ahhh, G-Ball High! ... Ussay Aussay, the G-Ball Posse!! <boom boom bah, boom boom bah> G-Balllllllllllll, Hey Hey, G-Ball Hiiiiiiiiiiigh!!!>" I'm 15 and these guys have had 7 points scored on them in 6 games and they're ranked #4 in the fucking state. It was somewhat intimidating.

We come running out of the tunnel, then get blocked by the band. Immediately nachos and cokes are raining down on us. They didn't chalk the field. They painted it. You get tackled on the lines or a hash and skin is getting torn off. Like landing on concrete. I caught a pass in the flats and some All State dumbass who couldn't score 700 on the SAT named Rodney Artmore hit me like a fucking bus. 

We scored 3 points in two seasons against them on their turf. 

My senior year, our coach brilliantly decides that they'll be our homecoming game. While I was having a good game individually and likely getting concussed by Cephus Scott (KSU) on passes over the middle, we as a team are getting absolutely pummeled. Their defensive line is mowing through our OL like a hot knife through butter. 

At some point in the second half, a commotion is going on in the sugar huddle. I walk over from the outside and think "what in the fuck is going on?"

The center, a good friend of mine but also a pussy, is crying/bawling inside his helmet. Truly red-faced and crying. The other guys are talking shit to him about getting it together. "You guys don't understand!! This guy is a fucking animal. He's beating the shit out of me!! It's like being in a goddamned street fight!"

I walk off. "Christ."

The literal next play, the DT grabs our center and hurls him into our QB while the QB is dropping back and is sacked by his center. 

I laughed inside as I was also embarrassed. 

The DT for G-Ball? A freshman or sophomore Casey Hampton.

My senior year I had a job in the tower  and several of us played high school basketball. We played pick up ball at Gregory gym almost every day and we thought we were pretty legit. Anyone who showed up we would run off the court it seemed like. One of the guys we worked with was dating a girl on the UT basketball team and they showed up to shoot around with us. We started running our mouthes (probably me) about how badly we could beat the women’s basketball team. They agreed to play us as long as it was a full court game. We agreed. 

That turned out to be a bad decision. After jumping out to an early lead of 4 or 5 to nothing (1s and 2s) I think we ended up losing 21-7. It was a bloodbath. The rematch was even worse. We were so humiliated we stopped playing at Gregory and continued our pickup games at the other gym on campus. There is apparently no amount of testosterone and machismo that can overcome division 1 athlete conditioning and chemistry.

Apologies for the transfer talk but do we think we'll take a portal WR during this window? Seems like a position you'd typically want here for spring camp.

Sark has historically been very aggressive at portal WR so I'm surprised they haven't shown much interest in anyone other than Singleton. Window is closing quickly though.

We were in contact with Zach Branch but didn't want the package deal with the brother. Apparently we've sniffed around Noah Thomas as well. Sounds like we're being opportunistic as interesting names come up rather than trying to moneywhip a guy out, at least right now. More of a Best Player Available situation.

A&M seems non-plussed about him leaving, and that he has a case of the drops . Probably a bit of a win / win for him to get out of CS and hopefully the dropsies continue at Georgia 

They have Micah Hudson pencilled in as Jeremiah Smith 2.0. So good luck with that.

23-5A represent.  Different school but similar experience.  They flipped our drill team's buses one year.  And I seem to remember the visitor locker room having a single light bulb hanging from a cord in the center of it, but that can't be right.

Can you explain what is going on or at least point me in the direction? What do you me against higher ed and UT?

This would be very hard to do without going full Cloak Room - and I'm not going to do that. I can say that I have read and heard that some people at UT felt that Hartzell considered him a part of the force seeking to significantly change some things about UT. I also heard that he wanted to increase tuition (again) so he was given a list of things to do by Abbott, including forcing the work from home employees back into the office. As I understand it, he did those things and Abbott still shot down the tuition hike. Again, this is just what I have heard from someone who works at UT. I can't personally back any of it up - and it may be partially (or wholly) incorrect for all I know

You might want to take a look at this editorial written last month by a prof at the College of Liberal Arts https://www.texasobserver.org/censorship-ut-austin-professor-angela-valenzuela/ my guess is there's a lot more nonsense that we don't know about all across the University based on some of the other bullshit we've seen but which I won't mention.

When I was a freshman I ran the 400 against Willie Mack. I was the fastest on our track team.

When the gun went off i looked over and he was nowhere to be found. Looked ahead and he was about 100 yards ahead of me. He was already at the snack bar by the time I crossed the line.

Holy shit reading this caused PTSD from nearly 47 years ago. I had forgotten about the legendary stories about playing Galveston Ball when I was at Clear Lake in the late 70’s. We were not in their district then, but our basketball team had a bad experience visiting them and I remember friends telling stories about tires being slashed and fearing for their safety leaving. Thanks for making me remember the bogey man.

Yeah. But he still thinking he is doing 3 years. Not understanding that him picking tech screwed himself, then doubling down going to aggy. Neither schools a WR producers. Whoever is counseling him is borderline criminal

I played against Case Keenum, Colt McCoy, Ryan Tannehill and the McCoy brothers from Midland Lee all in the same year and beat all of them. Keenum hit me in the forearm with a pass and I didn’t regain feeling in it until later that night.

I played against Christian Michaels (A&M) from Westbrook

Dj Monroe and Quandre Diggs (Texas) at Angelton 

Mike Evans (A&M) at G-ball he actually sucked in HS but was a very good BBall player tho

out of all those guys Micheal’s was a physical specimen and probably the best football player I had ever seen HS wise.  
 

DJ Monroe was by far the fastest person outside of Ivory Williams (Olympic) and Jamal Charles (PAM) I ever seen.

Confused that he didn’t declare or they couldn’t throw enough money at him to stay? Or Door Number 3, Brauny promised they’d keep him?

Great. Make it the policy and defend it. Don’t roll over if some 30 year old like Pavia sues you for 1 more NIL money grab.

Is the NFL directing any of this? They probably want linemen and QBs playing more college ball before they have to pay them, but they could probably give a shit about much experience the skill guys have.

The asshole said that "winning too much isn't good for the kids." That makes it pretty damned clear that he needs to be kept at arms length from this program and from leadership in CFB. He doesn't want to see an era in which Texas is able to dominate. Not to mention the fact that he would be overshadowed in such a scenario. Mack is far too small a man for that.

Small peen syndrome and narcissism. Smiley glad handling, car sells man.
