Didn’t know this….cool:

In our new series SEC Connections, we take a quick look at coincidences, partnerships and parallels between The University of Texas at Austin and our sister schools in the Southeastern Conference. This week, The University of Florida.

Robert Cade grew up in San Antonio and graduated from UT in 1948 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. In 1961, this Life Member of the Texas Exes went to work as a nephrologist (kidney specialist) at the University of Florida College of Medicine and in 1965 led a team of researchers in trying to figure out why football players didn’t urinate after a game. They soon learned that players lost so much fluid that they had none left to form urine. Cade developed a drink that contained salts and sugars that could be absorbed more quickly, and the basis for Gatorade was formed, so named for the team that would first drink it, thanks to a Longhorn!

No access to the Longhorn Network I see...

Even through the early 80s for some reason most football coaches thought of water as either bad for you or as a reward. You'd sweat out whatever fluids you had in your system in the first half of practice and none of us were particularly big on hydration back then. Then you'd get to suck lukewarm water through a garden hose and PVC pipe contraption designed and built by a group of PE majors for maybe 5 seconds if you had a good first half of practice. Then there was the second half

Salt tablets FTW!

We must have played on the same high school football team 😂

Lagway is not gonna play.

 

Don't know if the band made the trip, but UF has a pretty good band and Dragnet is a banger...

Oh no.  I hope Sark didn't prep for Lagway all week...

Saw a couple groups of Florida fans at the airport. Wondering what turnout will be from them.

I saw a bunch on Rainey street and east Austin today. Spoke to a few about DJ. Most said was he is the future and hope he doesn’t play and risk further damage. Nice people enjoying the weather today…. accepting of their fate tomorrow.

Florida’s my 2nd favorite program, so I know a ton about them and watch almost all their games, but it sucks to see them so down and out. Lagway will 100% not play. Napier does not rush anyone back from injury, and on top of that there’s a 99% chance Lagway never suits up for the gators again. It’s no secret he’s leaving that dumpster fire for the highest bidder. Their freshman RB Baugh is a damn good player, but with no threat at QB this will be an ugly game. The gators have an improved defense of late but they’ll get gassed. I’m predicting 38-0 Texas.

Just dropped into the Florida Rivals board…they are down and out and predicting us to roll. 99% of them.

In the past week their star QB got hurt, they found out their terrible head coach is coming back next year, and that their promising young basketball coach is being investigated for being a creepy stalker/sexual predator. Their spirits are broken. I hope it’s a close and competitive game for their sake.

Grade 2 sprain means on a macro level that part of the tendon is torn in 2. Either (a) he was never going to play, (2) he was going to fail miserably and worsen his injury, or (d) the MRI report that was in the wind was false.

Lagway talk was smoke all along, it seems.

Yep. No way the Texas staff actually prepared much for Lagway. This type of injury can only get worse with much more than active recovery. But, you know even more than me in this case.

FSU loses that game. They're just so, so bad. 

They could maybe keep it interesting and make it a chippy rivalry game but I agree. Texas would get close to 30 at home against FSU. They've lost by 3+ scores on the road against SMU and Miami - they lost by 15 at home to BC and by fucking 23 at home to a shitass UNC team. They're getting 24.5 on the road in South Bend today. They are bad, bad, bad.

This is peak doctor communication -- not a criticism, just an amusing observation. Your list consists of:

(a)

(2)

(d)

I congratulate you on developing a unique taxonomy for list-making. It's glorious.

We all played for coaches who dressed in spandex while running a vanilla, Split-T offense with an emphasis on counters, traps, and options. It wasn't that much fun for TEs, in retrospect. I should've focused more on baseball & basketball.

DJ Campbell fucked up that assignment.

Just now, Patrick Bateman said:

WTF is he doing?  Wisner just took 4 points off the fucking board..... What a fucking stupid ass play to rob Texas of the opening drive momentum.  And it cost a timeout too.  This team's football IQ is also what's holding them back.  This isn't HS, Wisner.

7 points
