  1. Since Scaife we've rolled out David Thomas, J-Mike, and Sanders. If Washington is better than those three guys, that would be awesome.
  2. UTRGV would be an interesting coaching job. Any Texas resident student whose household income is $120k or below goes to school for free there. We don’t qualify. Since baseball is a club-driven sport, I’m not sure how many kids would qualify. Club sports to me are the very definition of “necessary evil”. Topic for another day. But imagine if you could recruit position players from one tax bracket and save scholarship money for pitchers, for example. It’s what most schools do anyway, without the <$120k advantage. Fun to consider. Our kid wanted to play for a D1 school, recruiting for baseball was all kinds of messed up through last year because of Covid, and we liked the coaching staff. That was enough for us.
  3. That was a really strange feeling, being at a Texas game and not rooting for the ‘Horns. The boy did his job. He went 0-1 with 2RBI. He was 3 of the HBP and 2 of the BB. I thought that Jalin got him at 2nd early on. Guess the replay wasn’t conclusive. He’s a patient batter and a tough kid. I could have done without the chest beating after one of the walks, but whatever. He was excited to help his team in his first start ever. He is fast, would probably be one of the fastest guys on Texas’ team too. We ended up with his club coaches in the stands along with a lot of friends and family. That has to do it for Pierce. So maybe in the strangest most backward way ever, he will help Texas after all?
  4. That's awesome. Played for Ogletree?
  5. My son plays for UTRGV. He will get his first start tonight. He's been a Texas fan his entire life, and he's giddy about playing at the Disch.
  6. Things that stick with me about the bonfire fiasco: 1) The immediate reaction from every aggy I knew was "No one is going to sue. They were all good ags doing what they loved" 2) Winning the game proves that God is with the aggys (heard this before and after the game) 3) LHB v. FTAB, halftime. They have a unique ability (echoed years later in the 27-25 herp derp halftime performance) to show their ass. Generally I don't care much about halftime shows, but these two encapsulate aggy for me.
  7. Aggy will get him and scream flip. Between him and Rink, they have their argument that the elk trampled Sark in year one. Everyone wins.
  8. No sweat, and good for him. I’m still scarred by Robert Heard proclaiming Shane Rink as the better every down prospect over his teammate, Sam Adams. Whoops
  9. There’s a thousand ways to play recruiting classy, and he chose poorly. So, well, I ain’t gonna mince words. Fuck that kid. Looking forward to embarrassing him for 0-6 years, depending on how long he makes it on campus over there.
  10. That's so accurate. Random awesome Austin shit. I was a poor and frequently worked on my truck in our garage in a north campus condo. One night I took my buddies catfishing and forgot to throw away the extra chicken livers when we got home. The next week I was working on the truck again, and the garage was filled with this awful smell. Obviously I forgot to throw away the chicken livers from the week before. But because I'm sort of a negligent dick, I blamed my girlfriend for farting in the garage. Bye bye girlfriend, but it was all for the best. That's when I remembered the chicken livers. So I walked the ice chest full of rotten chicken livers out of our garage and along an alley next to yards full of future Austin assholes behind our condo. They were tech people who had just moved in from California, no shit. Anyway, I dumped that ice chest out in our dumpster and the smell was honestly horrific. The California folks had been having some wine and cheese deal in their backyard. Obviously I nuked that shit. They literally ran away screaming. I suppose the whole point of this is that if a monkey named Kong had appeared right then, it would not have been an aberration. That was a huge part of what I loved about Austin.
  11. Preach. What’s happening now is proof positive that we were NOT doing the same stuff as the other guys. If we had been, it would have looked like this for all these years. You nailed it: fuck em. Time to pay the piper, bitches.
  12. I got the Pfizer booster at the beginning of December in anticipation of holiday gatherings. I didn’t have any side effects, and I’ve had them from every previous vaccination. So that was nice. There are so many great people out there. There are some shitheads too. There is a lot of overlap in that Venn diagram when it comes to sickness/vaccination behavior. The only part that bothers me is that so many peoples’ default is not “This might help, and it’s not a huge burden, so I’m gonna do it.”
