  1. Past hour
  2. You're welcome. I can't tell you how much I smiled while listening to this woman speak to me. Knowing that her story will be put pen to paper eventually made her happier than she already normally is from what I could gather. There are good people still to be found in this world. Sometimes we get surprised by them and they change our lives. This woman did that for me. I think that what you experienced living there during that period in both German and European history as a whole shaped who you became and who you are today. I am fairly certain that you could expound on that moment further. It is clearly one you can recall easily and for good reason. You have your own story from your life and I hope that you will either sit down and take the time to recall it to someone or perhaps do it yourself. My father, were he still alive, would be your age. He would be turning 80 in a couple of weeks and life for him, even in West Germany, was very rough, but it shaped who he became when he got on an ocean liner with his mother and stepfather (A drunk in the army that beat my Oma often from what I was told.) in November of 1964 to come to America. I know you regularly have shared stories on here about your life, but it would be cool to see or hear it from the beginning to right now.
  3. As my high school coach told me when I muttered “fuck this shit” after getting run over by a senior who outweighed me by 200 lbs, “Quit bitching, someone has to hold the tackling dummy”.
  4. Most kids want to play. I don’t see a lot of upperclassmen with experience signing on to hold down the bench (whilst also not getting paid) - even at a place like Texas - when they could play and make money at their small school.
  5. I agree. I think smart teams once this is all figured out will be recruiting 20 or 30 upperclassmen with like Angelo State experience. Scholarship+perks of being a former Texas football player vs starting at Sul Ross? Surely some kids will take that deal and be good practice and emergency depth. Nebraska back in the day had massive rosters
  6. NFL Black Monday 2026 may be tough for some teams, but it also brings new hope and fresh starts. Coaching changes can open the door to better leadership and smarter game plans. For fans, it’s the beginning of exciting changes and a chance to look forward to a stronger season ahead.
  7. Maybe they wanted to kill-off walk-ons and they postulated that making that rule would accomplish that.
  8. Today
  9. Those are the two I think of, not to slight my memories of Rayfield Wright and Tom Rafferty at all!
  10. I'm not an expert on how it all works with revenue sharing. Not in the slightest. Sounds like it's more complicated that I assumed. My assumption is we could bring in a bunch of players who are essentially walk-ons and get no money, but they do get scholarships now. And another ASSumption is there are a few large humans out there who aren't good enough (yet) to get money to match their size. But, maybe they're smart enough to want a UT degree. So, they come here for exactly that... a degree and not much else. But what if one or three of them knocks it out of the park in spring camp? We've had walk-ons who have done similar. Sure, it's wishful thinking but... you never know. It was an idea.
  11. Oh gawd pls NO! #FakeHoldingCalls Too soon!
  12. I think I get bronco’s point? I think Texas is concerned about revenue sharing. More scholarships, more mouths to feed. There’s also the Title IV implications. If they add 20 men’s scholarships, they have to add 20 women’s scholarships. That’s a big number, and would probably require them adding another women’s sport. Incredibly expensive. Rod Babers made an extremely rare good point today. Guys that aren’t playing are dead money. Stashing developmental players sounds awesome, but it would be very costly. So costly I doubt any program approaches 105 scholarships. I doubt many schools approach 85 scholarships if there’s revenue sharing and a salary cap. I have no idea why they passed this rule in the middle of the NIL experiment. Nobody was asking for it.
  13. We'll let Cam tell him if he can look Cam in the eyes.
  14. Are we recruiting the Ole Miss guard? He is an elite pass protector at LG
  15. i think it was more like there was a script.. but they would shoot the scenes on script and then shoot lines of improvisation.. where often the improved lines would turn out funnier and get used. that is kinda a McKay/Ferrell thing... re: Anchorman
  16. 😂😂😂😂
  17. well yeah but not on this politics board bc we are not aggy and they really can't handle being bitchslapped by the cabal.
  18. You're not paying attention. We're putting all of our money into 50-70 scholarship kids. With the new SEC rules, we can do 100+ scholarships(?). That means you have 30+ freebies who will take up none, or hardly any of the "money share".
  19. So… you want us to follow the Aggie plan of portal recruiting. Got it
  20. WTF. We have like 40 scholarships left to use. USE THEM. Go grab all the biggest retard 2* O-line FBS & nicely rated FCS guys you can find and see if any of them break out during spring training. This is our concern, dude. So, make it the thing we are unconcerned about.
  21. A significant portion of Oregons 2nd and 3rd string D has portaled. A large number of them are headed for Berkeley
