Lord what is UT charging? 27k less than LSU and $200k more.


2 large margaritas + tip was $51 Saturday.

I already asked CDC about the Vegas pricing.
You know how you expect your team to have a bad game after you whip your top 10 ranked rival all over the field?

Oh…wait.



Bijan was always special player.

As good at catching a pass as any RB to ever play.

Now that Atlanta got rid of the arse wipe HC they used to have, Bijan has a chance to play, and shine.

Really enjoyed watching him get to play in prime time.

Mo Bamba, NBA Center, famous for the song by American rapper Sheck Wes. A sleeper hit that achieved mainstream success, being played at most American football stadiums, Pro, College, and High Schools.

Texas defensive numbers are extremely overrated due to level of competition they have played. They have played 3 of the worst non conference games in the country. Sam Houston State, San Jose St UTEP. If you look at their combined win loss records ouch. Not saying Texas defense is bad or anything but those numbers would be higher vs better competition.


I don’t disagree with you.

Texas played 75 players last game, including most of the freshman. A lot of of the starters missed games while healing, including 2 AA’s on defense.

Ohio State only gained 203 yards, not much better numbers than the other 3. All world WR Jeremiah Smith had 6 receptions for 43 yards.

Our season starts Saturday.

A&M isn't jealous of Texas because we don't need them ... A&M has the political power and money that we don't need shite from them... Hell we still have a $20 Billion endowment
The University of Texas manages the Permanent University Fund (PUF, the majority of their endowment), and other assets and resources, for the benefit of A&M.

Given A&M's prowess in negotiating contracts, y'all would have blown it many years ago if left on your own.

Texas has 3 Rivals, and has played them 319 times since 1894.

Texas has played Oklahoma 120 times in the 124 years since 1900, every year other than 1924-1928.

Texas played A&M 118 times in 117 years, beginning in 1894, before A&M left for the SEC.

Texas played Arkansas every year since 1933, 80 times total starting in 1894, before Arkansas left for the SEC.

With the SEC protective scheduling, and only playing 8 conference games, I don't believe most of the SEC "rivals" have played every year.

Funny to see Miss State join aggy in talking football smack
Well, Miss State held Arch to less than 352 yards of total offense in his 1st SEC career start last year.

He managed to have 351 combined yards, 3 TD, 0 turnovers, w/ 10+ yards per passing attempt,

Arch Passing
C/ATT YDS TD INT
26/31 (84%) 325 2 0

Arch Rushing
CAR YDS TD LONG
6 33 1 26

Texas A&M is 0-3 since this post about being undefeated ??

Volleyball 0-2
- vs SMU (L, 0-3)
- vs TCU (L, 2-3)

Soccer 0-1
- vs TCU (L, 1-2)

Georgia & Texas have played the most games (25) v. Top 25.

Texas, playing mostly B12, has more Top 25 Games than all of the SEC, but Georgia.

Who woulda thunk?

Ole Miss w/ 14 games total?

User name says it all.
Before the 1968 A&M game, Texas Captain Bill Bradley was asked when Texas won the toss if they wanted to take the ball or if they wanted to choose to defend a particular goal.

Bradley's response: "We don't give a shite".

For Texas it was when Earl Campbell hit campus. I think his sophomore year Royal went to the I formation and Campbell as tailback.


Texas ran the wishbone until DKR retired after the 1976 season (Earl's junior season).

Fred Akers went to the "I" formation in '77 and Earl won the Heisman his senior year.

Thinking about those young girls really gets a grown man tearing up a bit.

Seems like we've been living a similar couple of days brother.

And to be honest I've been asking how does God allow that to happen to a bunch of 8-9 year old girls.

Found out at mass yesterday that one of them goes to our parish. Rough few days.
Thank you all for your comments and prayers.

Updated death toll at 110+, with over 170 missing.

Probably many more than that as numerous RV camps were completely washed away, with no clear record of the number of campers.

Surly Horns has been a sad place since early Friday morning, with damn near everybody having some connection to those hit the hardest, particularly the friends and families of the young kids. A lot of posters went to those camps as kids, and their kids and grandkids have gone as well.

July 4 will never be the same for so many. So sad.

Since when is Kenny baker possibly the nest pass rush coach in college?
Since he started recruiting and signing 5* DL from Florida to California. Feed back from existing/NFL players and new recruits.

Unlike Bo Davis, Baker can recruit & develop. Vernon Broughton has been a disappointment until last year, and he is in the NFL now.

Now that Texas has high ranked, and highly coveted players to coach, I expect the 7 DL drafted in the last 4 years will improve.


quote:

Texas had 7 DTs drafted in the last 4 years.

Taquan Graham
Moro Ojomo
Keondre Coburn
Byron Murphy
T’Vondre Sweat
Alfred Collins
Vernon Broughton

That is an insane sales pitch along with the NIL, playing for possibly the best pass rush coach in Baker, and living in Austin. This is Bama level DT recruiting this year.

Johnson, Simeon, Gurviel, Cleveland are all national elite level talents. Cleveland is in, Gurviel has to one of the silents, Gerry says we are in it for Simeon, and Johnson doesn’t seem to be unrealistic either. I say take whomever wants to come.
