  7. Psalm 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Update!! She just got the chest tube taken out so I'm about to head back up there. Wife and I ate lunch and I walked back to the hotel real quick to get her a few snacks and now she's getting to hold the baby for the first time since an hour before the surgery. I’d say this is one content mama & baby!!!

  9. Trump is everything the GOP wanted to be for decades but was scared to be. What you see now has been bubbling under the surface since the Moral Majority hijacked the Republican Party 40 years ago. All Trump did was change the range of what we consider normal discourse in this country and gave tons of people the chance to let their freak flag fly. He didn't destroy the GOP. He just let the GOP show us what it really has been all this time.

  12. There is no need to argue what will happen in the future because it will soon play out before out eyes. I never thought I would see a scenario where the sitting president of the United States would 100% try to undermine the legitimacy of our election process (because he knows he is going to lose). I never thought I would hear the President of the United States say its important he get his judges on the Supreme Court because he will have to challenge the votes. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/23/us/elections/trump-supreme-court-election-day.html They aren't even being subtle about it. What you see as fearmongering, I see as a legitimate concern because we have a president telling us exactly what the fuck he is going to do. And recent current events tell us that whatever he wants to do, he gets cover from both the Senate and the DOJ. And fuck off with this "why haven't you denounced your citizenship bullshit."

  15. Thanks for the kind words. Regarding your question: 1) They had Matt Campbell lined up with a UT loss to Tech at home at the end of 2019. Texas won and CDC balked at doing anything and persuaded enough folks to stay the course with him. I posted on this on the football board during the bowl season if you're looking for something contemporaneous at the time. 2) Given that, pre-corona, Herman had no allies and was hanging on by the skin of his teeth, the mandate was two top 5 recruiting finishes (2020 & 2021), a Big 12 title in 2020, and a playoff appearance, or damned near one. The recruiting stuff could be apocryphal and I was a skeptic at the time. The rest has been repeated in one form or another across $9.95er-land and I doubt all of the sources are the same. 3) The "$$ is lining up for Urban Meyer" train is starting to pick up steam. I have zero clue how much of that is real vs wishcasting. 4) I'm tired of this bullshit. If they go get Urban Meyer, yee-fucking-haw. I am guessing I was high and mighty about drawing the line short of Urban Meyer at some point. @SydneyCarton asked me & @HenryJamesthis weekend where we drew the line on a HC at Texas. Oddly, it turns out, I apparently draw the line just past Urban Meyer and long before JoePa, OU coaches in general, and Art Briles. I don't blame anyone for taking higher ground than that, but I've lost my illusions about the integrity of college sports over the course of the last decade plus and corona has sent me into NoFucksGivenLand in ways that nothing else could have. The dude is there for the taking, it would be a wonderful troll job on the Hermanosaurus Wrecks, and we'll win. Fuck it. We've got the embarrassment and lack of integrity with the current guy in charge, might as well have the fucking wins too.

  17. I'm going to rehash some old shit I've said, just because. Move along if you don't want to hear me bloviate about my youth. ===== I immediately became a giant fan of Van Halen the moment I heard their debut. It blew the cobwebs out of my Midwestern brain, which up until then had been consumed with the album oriented rock of the day. I wasn't really a guitar player then, but that record changed things. When they announced their first headlining tour, I was not quite 16 years old. For some reason, my parents and those of a few buddies agreed to let us go see the tour in St. Louis, a two hour drive from our quiet little Ozark town. We pulled into the parking lot, and it was like a scene from "Dazed & Confused" writ large. Just a sea of muscle cars: Camaros, Trans Ams, GTOs, any number of Chevy vans, whatever, and every fucking one of them had the radio blasting KSHE-FM, the iconic St. Louis rock station, which was of course playing Van Halen all night long. The first tune I heard on this giant community stereo was of course "Eruption". God damn it was glorious. We had floor seats. Row 28. When Van Halen hit the stage, a massive number of less fortunate patrons poured down, and it soon became a sea of delirious rock fans back to about . . . Row 27. We stood on our chairs and had a birds-eye view of the best fucking rock show ever. David Lee Roth was a master showman. I mean, the BEST of the best. Giant fake joints, chaps, the stage talk, everything. And he could sing, don't let anyone tell you he couldn't. But Diamond Dave couldn't top Eddie. Eddie ruled that world. His talent was so fucking immense. He was probably half high and fully drunk and it didn't matter one bit. He blazed. He was absolutely a musical titan, on par with Miles and Beethoven and Monk and Joplin and Bartok and you name it, he was in their league. But the thing is, he wasn't just a musical genius, he was playful. He reminded me of a more talented Joe Walsh. "Oh yeah? You thought that was good? Watch THIS!" Ultimately, music poured out of Eddie like water out of a glass. He didn't even have to try. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he tried, but he didn't have to. He just was. He was the King.

  19. 12:20 3rd and 6 for TCU at the beginning of the game Official calls false start on the RB. It was the right call, they get into an argument with fatterson, and change the call to offsides, the wrong call. How does that happen? The official saw what he saw, the RB leaning and false starting before the LB crossed the neutral zone. Why did they change it? The RB false started while the LB was still 2 yards away from the neutral zone. 15:21 Ref back at the Texas end zone throws a flag for hands to the face on the blocker #15. Phantom call, flag was thrown after they were seperated for contact that was 40+ yards away from the official. 18:08 TCU jumps offsides, no contact made with Texas players, no Texas players jump. Ball is snapped, should be a free play, but it's blown dead. 19:47 3rd and 5 for Texas, WIDE OPEN rb swing pass for 40 yards. Illegal formation on Brewer, covered up on the LOS and went out for a pass. One of those deals that is very close, and you hardly see it called. Probably the first legit call against Texas - just happened to erase a big play for us, like many other close or bullshit calls will the rest of the game. 28:52 TCU 1st and 10, QB keeps the read action and #74 pulls to block Overshown. Grabs him outside the pads, holds right in front of the ball

  21. It was the best. I'm not saying that because I'm a nostalgic old guy. It was the best. We were able to grow up without internet, got to roam the streets without "helicopter" parents and the music kicked ass.

  23. EVH was my reason for picking up the guitar and has been my most consistent inspiration for the last few decades of playing. The first time the 8-track blasted out the intro car horns for Runnin with the Devil I was on a new path. I remember riding in the back of my sister's light blue Grand Prix with the stereo turned ALL THE WAY UP for House of Pain. When that E-string starts the bridge from chorus to solo, that car was vibrating and my ears were ringing. First concert I ever attended -- 1984 VH tour. Still have the t shirt. I suffered through the 100 degree Dokken trash fight at Rice Stadium for Monsters of Rock because I knew Eddie was on stage in just a few hours' time. It was worth it. So after working as an usher and as security at the Erwin Center for a few years during undergrad, I worked my way up to getting my one dream slot -- manning the dressing room door for Van Halen on their 1992 tour. My stomach dropped and heart stopped when Eddie walked down the hall. I looked at him and said, "My hero." He smiled and said, "I get that a lot," but not in a douchey way. He signed my 5150 album sleeve and we shot the breeze for a few a minutes. I couldn't believe it. He went in and out of the dressing room a few times, no big parties or anything, just super chill. He eventually came out into the hallway with his guitar and warmed up for the show literally four feet away from me. I was speechless. Eddie was super cool, very gracious, and treated me really nicely. He didn't have to, but he did. A true legend, and one of those rare instances where your stupid naive hopes and dreams about meeting your idol are actually eclipsed by reality. One of the absolute highlight moments of my life. Eddie Van Halen for life.

  25. The GOP has capitulated. They don’t even pretend to try to win your vote in the marketplace of ideas. They simply don’t want “certain people” to vote, and are literally working with foreign powers to keep you from the polls. It’s unbelievable, undemocratic, and un-American.

  29. I am of the belief that Herman has actually been a pretty good bridge to the next guy for this exact reason. If Meyer came in after Strong, he would have worked to instill culture, upgrade facilities, and implement football process. Despite Herman's failings, he has been good in facilities and process to the extent that the next guy won't have to start from scratch. Tom hasn't won, but he's built the framework of a winning organization.

  30. The first time I sang "The Eyes" at a UT football game was in 1963. I'm also a graduate, a foundation donor, and a season ticket holder. And I have been, both before and during this entire 11-season shitshow we've been watching, while our entitled coaches and team don't have enough pride to give a fuck that our program sucks. It matters to me if the team doesn't represent the WINNING traditions of the University of Texas. The whiny and entitled are IN the program. So, you can fuck off if you don't like that, and so can they.

  31. Anyone doubting whether urban is the right option, tell me one coach (aside from saban and dabo who aren't moving) who you'd be more pissed to hear is taking over at ou? Or aggy? I can't think of a single coach I'd hate to see hired more at those schools, which tells you all you need to know about who we should be pursuing here. If we don't, it's only a year or two at max before usc pulls the trigger and we all get to watch as he builds them back to a power program, which is what he'll do wherever he goes next. Even if you argue he's past his coaching prime (and based on what, exactly?), the immediate recruiting jolt would help you rebuild for at least 2-3 years and set you up for the next guy. It's time to stop fucking around and go all in on someone proven. We tried the up and comer route twice in a row and got burnt. Giving Herman four years was probably the right thing given the "cake" he was handed and some of the early obvious improvement, but unless we go undefeated the rest of the way you have to argue he had his chance and failed. Time to level up.
