  1. Past hour
  2. I guess the ”great” sports is subject to wide interpretation. Nor did my initial post suggest a limit of one possible remaining school. But, I do have a fondness for U Dub now that you bring it up.
  3. FBI needs to investigate this community. I know just the agents.
  4. Thanks for the heads up, I will definitely check that out
  5. Wow y’all are really going to politicize a whites only community in DT? Disgusting
  6. A few stats I pulled regarding summer recruiting. This is all from 247's database. Could be off +/- a guy here or there, but it's probably in the right ballpark. In 2024, we had 41 guys OV during the two June weekends. That doesn't count a random guy that visited by himself in early June or the punter. It does count Ty'Anthony Smith, who visited midweek between the two weekends. 19 of our eventual 21 signees (again not counting the punter, but counting Smith) came from those two OV weekends (90%). 19 commits out of 41 June OVs is a close rate of 46%. The two additional signees OV'ed in December (Filsaime) and January (Butler) 12 of the 19 (63%) had committed to Texas by August 1. This includes Trey Owens, who had committed before June OVs 2 players committed elsewhere following OVs before eventually flipping to Texas (Wardell Mack/Florida and Smith/aggy). 2 players initially committed to Texas following June OVs but eventually flipped to someone else (Aeryn Hampton/Bama, D'Antre Robinson/Florida). In 2025, we had 42 guys OV during three June weekends. That counts 3 guys that visited midweek between those weekends. 21 of our eventual 25 signees came from those June visits (84%). 21 commits out of 42 June OVs is a close rate of 50%. The four additional signees OV'ed in October (Williams [after committing in August] and Justus Terry) and November (Littleton and Hicks [after committing in September]). 14 of the 21 (67%) had committed to Texas by August 1. This includes 9 guys that committed before OVs started. This also includes Josiah Sharma, who committed to Oregon following OVs, but flipped to Texas in late July. This does NOT include Kade Phillips, who committed to Texas in July, flipped to LSU in August, then flipped back to Texas in December. 3 players committed elsewhere following OVs but eventually flipped to Texas (McCutcheon/FSU, Charles/FSU, and Sharma/Oregon) 3 players initially committed to Texas following June OVs but eventually flipped elsewhere (Mills/Washington, Brandon Brown/LSU, and Phllips). For 2026, we had 41 non-specialists OV during three June weekends. 18 of our 19 current commitments as I type this visited during June OVs. Derrek Cooper has not OV'ed yet. 18 out of 41 is a close rate of 44%. 3 June visitors remain uncommitted as I type: Davon Benjamin, Jake Kreul, and Keawe Brown. It does not seem like Brown is a take for Texas at this time. Obviously, all 18 of those have committed before August 1. 6 players were committed before OVs started (Dia Bell has been committed for a fucking year already) In past years, we had a couple early commits that never made June OV with everyone else. I'm assuming those guys were cut loose. Interestingly, all of our pre-June commits made OVs this year. Already 1 player that committed elsewhere following OVs has flipped to Texas (James Johnson, Georgia) As you can see, despite a rough start to July, we are tracking very closely so far with the 2024 and 2025 cycles. Personally I was mildly surprised to find that, because the string of recent losses made things seem worse than they are. Based on the two previous years' of data, I think we can make some inferences about how the rest of the cycle will play out: We will stay competitive with Benjamin and Kreul We will probably lose 1-2 guys from the current class that aren't a big deal (i.e., cut them loose) We may lose 1-2 guys that we don't want to lose We will probably flip 1-2 players that OV'ed in June but are currently committed elsewhere (Malakai Lee, please) We will bring in a handful of guys for OVs in the fall and have a good hit rate with them.
  7. Call me wacky, but the Astros are about to be overloaded with Starting pitching. How bout we trade one of those for that lefty hitting outfielder or even prospects?
  8. No I just meant that once in a while a song would come from somewhere other that where you would normally expect, in this case a Billy Joel song, that had a killer trumpet solo (2 actually)...
  9. You tell em, Meat Sweat!!!
  10. They comped Benjamin to Earl Thomas on Coffee and Football one day this week. If the comps are Earl or Mathieu, then yes he should absolutely be a top priority for Texas and he'd immediately become my favorite player in the class if he committed.
  11. Why the 247Sports Composite rankings changed and how team standings are affected
  12. Careful what you ask for.
  13. Make America 1860 Again.
  14. Heel turn complete,Hogan is dead- NWO is 4 life. South Park has hit the pendulum back in the other direction- it was a fun 8 months. Back to being a lib.
  15. I hope Gilmour wins that battle.
  16. Bob Dylan warned them.
  17. Meanwhile, in the Arkansas whites only conclave, sooiee pig stuff
  18. The food is gonna suck, and the dance clubs are gonna be lame af.
  19. The other issue is a lack of credibility. Long term rates are a function of the sense that the American banking system is independent and neutral to politics. This is political horseshit. While the Fed has always been political, it has also always been independent. That’s not a “Rogue agency” that’s an independent central bank operating in a free market. Well, it managed to keep a fiat currency operating as the world’s value reserve for 50 years, allowing people like you and I to enjoy tax cuts and fairly stable prices over a long period by exporting debt to other countries and getting imported tangible goods in return, so it seems pretty successful to me. If that looks like failure to you, I’m curious what you think a successful central bank looks like. I’m old enough to remember when I was on Hornfans shouting from the rooftops about position of the dollar and the the exploding debt while you were caping for the 2003 Tax cuts and increased structural deficits as far as the eye could see, not to mention the Iraq war. If you really want to do this take it to the Cloak Room. And bring your shine box.
  20. Ain't that the tooth.
  21. I can't decide if I like #OzarkAlcatraz or #NutriaAlcatraz better. Someone help me out.
  22. True. I bet her new suitors are amazed at how healthy she is. “American woman has all teeth and belly not too distended.. Only three childs…..can have 6 or 7 more.”
