  1. Mom was born in NOLA, along the Mississippi. She grew up along the coast. Dad was born near the banks of the Rio Grande. The Texas coast was his retreat. He’d fish for hours, in contemplation. He shared that gift with me. Around 20 years ago, when they had returned to Houston and re-settled there, they decided to look for a beach house. They looked in Galveston (I had grown up with Saturday trips down to east beach, and visits with friends who had modest places on the west end), but it was pricey, and they were discouraged. One weekend, I went down and had them join me on a trip to Surfside Beach, where I’d been fishing and duck hunting recently. They loved it. Soon after, they found and bought a house on Bluewater Highway, 3rd row from the beach. They had it for 10 years. They spent a lot of time there, just the two of them. But also with their grandkids, who grew up with the place. And they were generous with it - countless friends and such would use it for a week with just a handoff of the keys. MaybeACoordinator would stop in some times. I recall one afternoon, as we sat in folding chairs on the beach, he was talking about Follet’s island in general and said “you know, I just think of the place as a Brisket family place.” My parents wanted to rest together. My dad missed my mom so much. We went offshore about 8.5 miles today. The wind picked up overnight, it was a bit bouncy, and not the easiest ride. And, when we got to the place, it all washed over me. It was hard getting the words out. We all had something to say. My wife - gifted as she is - had even put together a simple liturgy, which she delivered from the back of the boat as it swayed side to side. My parents’ ashes (in a biodegradable envelope meant for such use) floated for a moment, then sank to return to the sea. These were my words. I don’t think they are enough. Nothing ever will be. But they poured into and out of me one night, and there they were. The Gulf drinks earth-rich water Not from the blue-crystal rivers of poems But brown channels of life and grit and truth Mississippi Bravo Brazos Colorado. Meandering tracing of life lived in a place The paths and barriers that make us That carry us to what we will be Emptying in a jumble of everything we were, into the sea. Earth has a heart The sea’s curling waves pushed by each beat Whooshing in our ears as the first sound of our mother A rhythm from the time before time A promise that time does not end. She bears love, and life, and tempest-blown fury Our relationship status is “complicated” But always binding Salt lives in both waves and tears for a reason. Teeming with memories both fresh and fading A bowed rod at sunrise, shining speckled sides glinting at the end Joy and innocence in the sandy playground at water’s edge Walks on her winter shore, side-by-side Combing for treasures While treasure is already in hand. She is womb and grave Carrying souls to shore, where they walk for a time On sand, firm with the sea And soft from the wind Until the moon calls them to ride the falling tide back home. A lull. Another set. Life-flecked foam left on the beach, already fading Erased. Re-created. Her waves, God’s infinite loop They are in them Together They always will be. Last night, we walked along the beach. On the sea-firm sand, and its wind-blown softness. Today was harder than I thought it would be. They belong to the sea now. They belong to God. As do we all.
  2. This is turning into the worst January 6th ever!!!
  3. I feel VERY good about both of them as of right this second
  4. cool quote from Quinn re: his decision to enter last year's NFL draft rather than transfer somewhere else that some of these guys should probably pay attention to: "I felt like what I built with my teammates at Texas and the legacy that we built, I didn't want to mess anything up there," Ewers said. "... To me, it's not about the materialistic things of this world because it comes and goes. What's important to me is the relationships that are built along the way. And I didn't want to disrupt or rub anybody the wrong way, being selfish and trying to go get money from another team, because I was a lifelong Longhorn. "Growing up, I wanted to play there. Ended up being the quarterback there, living on my dreams. My 10-year-old self wouldn't transfer away and go somewhere else. So, at the end of the day, that was the right decision for me." ESPN.comEwers: Chose NFL over portal to cement UT tiesDolphins quarterback Quinn Ewers said he chose the NFL over lucrative offers for a final college season in order to preserve his relationships at Texas.
  5. This kind of shit from our fanbase wears me out. Sark took over a lost program and since we've been to 2 semis and should have been in the playoffs this year but for a committee that doesn't understand math or probability (outside of counting losses). There aren't 5 programs in the country that have had a better 3 year run and probably just OSU and UGA (and I fully expect one of them to win it again). I don't know if Sark will take the next step or not (it's a really hard step to take) but cry me a fucking river acting like it's been so god awful with "Sark running the show". Amazing how many people have forgotten what 14 years of garbage looked like.
  6. Not strictly transfer related, but significant roster news
  7. FWIW I was speaking to a member of our coaching staff this morning and they said Wisner was shown an early preview of the Surly site rework and you could just see in that moment him making his decision to leave Austin.

    Making final preparations. Not too much left to do. Wife is helping preside at the 4:00 service, we’re all attending the 6:00 service tonight, I’ll be the reader for the passage from Matthew. Both kids are here. They couldn’t come home last year; the boy was stuck in Germany with visa challenges due to the backlog of applicants from the war. Yeah, our kid couldn’t come home “because of the war.” Odd phrase to be saying, but there we are. And it turned out to be our last Christmas with my father, who was gone a month later. So, we’re still digging through generations worth of their stuff. 1944. Probably somewhere in France. My grandfather spent a very cold Christmas tending to the P-47s of his unit, hoping they could get in the air to provide some much-needed air support to the troops on the ground holding off the German counteroffensive at the Bulge. A ranching man from deep South Texas, at war in Europe. A few months later, he would cross the Rhine at Worms. Today, his great-grand daughter lives and studies near the banks of the Rhine, downstream at Bonn. The world keeps turning, taking us to places, then back again. Some Christmases are peaceful reveries with family. Some are bitterly cold, in a tent (or worse), unsure of how a war will end. I’m not sure what to do with that truth. I’m glad grandpa Ted came home, and raised my mother, who had just been born in January of that year. I’m glad that our family has gone back to Germany, making friends, and a future. I don’t know what next Christmas will be like. But we have this one, right in front of us. I hope you can spend it with people you love. I hope your tent is warm, wherever it may be.
  9. My sweet Lord. Reading the thread since the Muschamp hiring is borderline exhausting. Some of the hawtest takes on this recruiting board, ever, on here between pages 45 and 48. I was quoting posts at first and by the time I reached 20, I just deleted them all, said “fuck it” and made myself a rye manhattan. If you can’t be excited by the Muschamp hire and all that that implies, wow. PK did really well, but he basically recused himself from having to be involved with talent evaluations and was regularly pining to get back to the west coast. Muschamp had agreed to take the DC role when Sarkisian was hired and helped handpick the staff. His wife stunned everyone and refused to agree to moving back to Austin. She loves Austin and returns several times a year to visit with friends and shop. She didn’t want to leave while the kids were in college. So Muschamp had to bow out. PK was a great back up, but Muschamp is who Sarkisian wanted from the jump. Muschamp is hands on with talent evaluation, with all of the game planning, has deep knowledge of the Georgia nemesis, endless energy, and will never be a yes man. He will tell Sarkisian straight up when he thinks he’s fucking up. The guy used to eat Greg Davis alive, in front of Mack Brown.
  10. The Yale lineman is a team captain. Never thought we'd be looking at getting a Yale Leader.
  11. "It sure felt good kicking OU's ass in Dallas, it felt good kicking A&M's ass in DKR, and it sure felt good tonight kicking Michigan's ass." - Steve Sarkisian
  12. If this asshole is wrong again, I vote that we riot and show up at his house around 10pm tonight in fucking Conroe and blare airhorns by his toddlers' windows. Just do mean shit to defenseless, tiny humans in order to teach Temu Tom Herman a life lesson.

    So I came home from a trip today and find an anonymous gift on my doorstep. I had one of my kids open it in case one of my enemies was trying to take me out. Luckily, all clear. Instead, photos attached of what is undoubtedly a @HenryJames special. Strong work. It’s going to be worth a fortune some day.
  14. Yeah, but props to him and guys like Hutson and Travis Shaw for playing in the bowl game instead of bailing to work on their 40 time or whatever.
  15. I spoke with two agents last night for a while at Chalmers. They showed me their text threads from Brandon Harris - each of these guys reps multiple players currently on the team or were on the team and are in the portal and were not from Lionheart. What I saw was horrifying. They then proceeded to tell me for 10 minutes straight how much they fucking hate Brandon Harris and that their official opinion is that he is the worst GM all of college sports. I share this opinion.
  16. If we don’t get the Michigan Guard that I just found out about 7 mins ago I’m going to kill myself. For real this time.
  17. Wish nothing but the best for PK going forward.
  18. 86 page game thread. Sick. You guys like the header image?
  19. When I look at Mike Elko, I see a guy who knows when he's had enough.
  20. IT says Derek Williams may not portal out now that Akina is gone.
