  1. My brother got robbed at gunpoint in the 80’s in Beaumont. Only had $3 on him. Guy was pissed about it. Stole my brother’s brand new high-top tennis shoes and then took his keys. Didn’t steal his car right then. Not sure why. But when I visited him he we pulled the wire off the top of the distributor everywhere we went so if the guy saw the car he wouldn’t be able to steal it
  2. There is zero evidence that herd immunity is a possibility. The data just isn’t there yet. People keep hoping it will happen but science isn’t on board with it until there is more information.
  3. I keep seeing this posted: “let’s ask Ricky, Vince, and Earl about the song.” Ricky, God love him, had a dynamite smile and personality when he wanted to, was a physical freak on the field, and just tore up opposing defenses. Even fans of other teams liked him! Who couldn’t like Ricky? I don’t want his opinion on this. He screwed up big time in the NFL, quit for a year to smoke weed and follow Lenny Kravitz around Europe like some sort of Deadhead, and lost a shot at being one of the all-time great backs in NFL history. Will he be sober if we ask his opinion? Vince has brought the best Longhorn football moment in most of our lifetimes. It might never be surpassed unless a future Longhorn delivers a baby along the sidelines with one hand while running in the winning score in the national title game with eight seconds left. A great scholar on a subject of historical significance he is not. Evidently not a model employee either considering his work record on campus. We love Vince for who he used to be on the field. Don’t put this pressure on him. Earl was the freaking man when I was growing up. I was a huge Oilers fan. And it was because of Earl. But I worry he has CTE. He dished out a lot of punishment in the pros, but it came with a cost. It’s hard seeing him on tv now. When Ricky broke the record against aggy, Earl was there next to Tony Dorsett. Tony looked like he could suit up. Earl looked worn out. When Earl was shown on tv with John David Crow in the last game against aggy, it was even harder to see. Earl was in a golf cart. He doesn’t get around well. Crow was 20 years older and still getting around pretty good. Pick someone else. Someone that wasn’t a superstar. A black football player that didn’t get a pass based on being the best. Get me a Donovan Forbes or even a James Brown or a Cash brother. They all had moments (ok, not Forbes), but they weren’t in the same league with the greats mentioned earlier.
  4. Are there any pics of the cheerleaders in this thread or is it just the same stuff we have been saying about the Cowboys for the past ten years?
  5. Ok there little fella. Feel better now? I don’t recall if I had an account or not. Don’t care. You’re probably a millennial that thinks we should get a participation trophy every year. You probably approve of the five-way tie in the mid-90’s when aggy was on probation. Tech had to represent the SWC in the Cotton Bowl. Tech! Get this thread back on track. I think we are circling back to “is it a racist song, or is it a racist song because it was performed at a minstrel show”. 20 pages of that discussion didn’t decide anything.
  6. I don’t recall whether I had an account on HornFans or not. In 1995 I ventured into the ESPN college football message boards. It was a crap show. Someone there linked a smaller message board. Jerome’s Chat. Mostly soon-to-be Big 12 fans and some UF and FSU fans and a pissed off TCU fan I think. Jerome’s Chat was pretty good. Higher number of females that would actually post pics and one of them would chat up guys via Yahoo Messenger and send audio clips. She ended up being the board trampoline An NU fan that taught elementary school. Oh, and a West Virginia fan that called herself Daisy Duke. But lived in Florida. From there we migrated to Blacque Power, which was run by a CU fan. Jerome ended up with jealousy issues when one of the female posters snubbed his advances and he got ban hammer happy. I can’t keep track of all the sites I’ve had accounts. Over time, you can get burned out. GDGD made me batty until they finally let VY just be VY and quit trying to make him fit some Applewhite mold. Crappy coaching and repetitive posts about crappy coaching over the years can turn me into a lurker. All these sites end up getting stale when the team isn’t great. Add in a pandemic and politics seeking their way in and a bunch of social justice warrior virtue signaling, and it makes it more interesting for a spell, but in the end, if the team loses 4-5 games again this year, we will see the same threads and responses over and over. Been seeing it for 25 years. And heard it in person or on call-in radio shows or read it in letters to the editor before that. Some of you didn’t experience Akers and McWilliams. We didn’t have a message board to discuss Mr. Mary Lou Retton throwing 4 td’s worth of picks to freaking U of H. We had to sit around at home to gripe about it or discuss it at a bar. Sportscenter might have existed then but you had to wait until kickboxing or go-cart racing or Star Shot (skeet shooting) was over. Sorry for the trip down Amnesia Lane. The older posters here will remember. You younger types don’t know how good you have it, being able to berate shitty coaching right from your phone keypad to a bunch of other fans.
  7. Shawn Kemp and Evander Holyfield are monitoring this thread as well.
  8. Mind boggling. That’s the term you are looking for. Nobody is bottling minds. You probably want French benefits at your job, too.
  9. It’s going to suck if we can’t see the inside except on tv.
  10. If only we had a blueprint on how to keep a starting quarterback eligible without him having to do much in the classroom. ***looks to the east***
