“Silents” are Anderson, Matthews and Banks. Doesn’t mean shit at this point. Texas still looks good on all of the guys they’ve been looking good on. They’re making plenty of headway with others. The visit season opening up stands to benefit Texas more than virtually any other school, provided this staff will do the kind of in-person work we all expect. No other major school is currently shrouded in as much mystery or unknown as Texas, from a positive POV. Sidenote: No school is more at risk of losing ground with recruiting getting back to normal than ATM. Confirmed through multiple places now that Stewart’s recruitment will run through dad from here and won’t be wrapped until just before signing day barring something fucking crazy. Texas is going to stay on this recruitment until the bitter end and might “win” it. The WR out of Katy is a fucking stud and tested off the charts for his size. “Texas is nuts if they don’t go in on this guy versus some big name from OOS.” Sidenote sidenote: Shaka Smart is fucking done. (I’ll believe it when I see it, personally. Donors don’t need to be involved for the money on this one, so it’s a test of the fucking spine of Crystal Conte. Count me as skeptic of his big move capabilities. ) Caveat emptor with all of this but figured it was something.41 points

Funny story about Ross. My kid was a OL that played against him in a playoff game this year. My kid didn't start but would come in as extra lineman for short yardage "big-man" packages. He lined up outside and caught Ross not looking on a slant block and flattened him, did the usual OL ball drag and talked a little smack figuring he'd be heading to the sideline as they got the first down. Coach decided to roll with the big-man package.... Ross lined up in front of my son mouthing something more colorful but to the effect of "you shouldn't have done that... I'm coming for you, be ready". Proceeded to fire off on a straight bull rush pushing my kid a good 10+ yards backwards before throwing him down and "falling" on him (think large man belly flop). Ross is a really strong fellow with a nice good natured testy streak. Hook-em22 points

There used to be a Texaco (maybe something else) on the NW corner of Guadalupe and MLK. Once I was in there waiting in line, and some chick two people in front of me bought like a gallon of gas and was paying in the change she had picked up from the floor of her car. The cashier starts bitching about how he doesn't want to count all the change, and Mr. Lawyer in line behind her pipes up and says "That's legal tender you have to take it." Cashier takes the change, doesn't bother to count it, leaves it laying on the counter. Mr. Layer pays for his big gulp with a five. Cashier pushes the change to him and says "here's your change sir."18 points

Wife and kids leave for school at 7am. Phone wakes me up at 7:15am. Her: Hey! The car is driving slow and the brake light is on! Me: Is the parking brake on? Her: Um... (click) OK. The light's off and it's driving fine now. Me: Bye.17 points

Couple of comments regarding your post. One relates to your section on the 'gap.' That is a very difficult thing for parents--they may be aware that their child has issues, but when children reach a certain age--*poof* no longer able to have guardianship over medical decisions w/o permission and that permission occurs at a time when a young person may wish to cut the strings. In addition, some mental health issues such as schizophrenia don't really manifest until young adulthood, precisely at that time when a young person may no longer be physically at home. Very tricky to navigate. Which leads to the next comment. In many *weapon/mental health discussions, women get shut out or dismissed. One is that they are presumed to be primarily on the 'no weapons evaaar' platform, which is not necessarily the case. Another is that the field of children/teen mental health is again, composed by higher percentages of females and is not 'valued' in the same way that other sectors are. Especially in systems where the needs for basic instruction is high and staff are few, the ability to have a holistic and community centered education system that gets families the mental health resources they need is just not there. Frankly, I don't think the desire is there (because it takes time and money money money). Many citizens just want the problem people to go away, not realizing that this is not going to happen. Some of the gun reform groups are trying to have a dialogue, but they get shoved aside in the louder discourse. Moms Demand doesn't want to take everyone's guns, but they do want loopholes closed, and some stricter laws on the books so that responsible gun ownership continues to be the norm. It's about ending the violence, not the weapons. *Not trying to offend anyone with gender role/accusations of bias.11 points

Texit and Calexit, and any other US state exit is a fucking stupid idea. The unwinding of how entertwined the state is with the federal government alone would be a fucking nightmare. And while there is all this bluster about the size of California and Texas economies, the truth is, a lot of that is because of trade as a member of the USA and funding received from the Federal Governement. If they had to go it alone, lol.11 points

Flipped a board just outside of Austin and found 2 Coachwhips and one Western Diamondback. The buzz worm tagged one of the coachwhips and he took of. I can't find anything definitive on whether their venom affects Coachwhips. I didn't bother getting nice shots of the whips as they were pretty bland in color.9 points

Gun owners who refuse to budge a single inch on things like improved background checks and red flag laws are dumb. Most law-abiding gun owners are not dumb and would be more than happy to support improved background checks and red flag laws that keep guns out of the hands of nutcases, because they know it would reduce pressure for future legislation that could affect law-abiding gun owners, but they are not the loudest group of gun owners. Republican politicians who refuse to consider those things are not dumb. They are appealing to a very small minority of gun owners who refuse to budge a single inch - maybe because they are not so law-abiding, or are afraid a red flag law would be used against them, who knows. Or maybe those gun owners are benefitting financially from the current system. But the sleazier Republican politicians also know that as long as we have these kinds of events, they can make this a cheap and easy, and very polarizing, campaign issue to use against anybody with a (D) against their name, and they need all of the polarizing campaign issues they can muster to help them retain power. The problem for legal gun owners, and @Bookman and @Judge Roybeanbag touch on this, is that Republicans are playing a prevent defense, and we all know how that goes. By refusing to be a part of any legislation to address the nutcases, Republicans are completely cutting themselves, and law-abiding gun owners, out of having a hand in how future legislation is crafted. Republicans may be ahead on the gun issue by a field goal, but every one of these mass murders gives the the anti-gun another first down and takes a little more time off the clock, and eventually the anti-gun folks are going to run it in for a touchdown with no time left on the clock.9 points

When all things aren't equal and ATM is paying players while schools like Texas and OU more or less aren't, ATM has done well with recruiting in Texas. When that hasn't been the case, whether by them not paying or everyone else also paying, it takes certain types of personalities to dig ATM and they're not in the majority at the 17-22 year old level. Then you've got the utterly drab campus and shithole town on top of this. The aggie weirdness that most teenagers can only believe once they experience it for themselves, and the campus and town, have been a way smaller part of the equation over the last year. That's served them well. Note: I'm not talking about their football facilities and such, as those are excellent. I'm talking about everything else involving the aggie environment. Note Note: While this may seem de facto "duh" type of shit for us, or self-serving to my biases, but that take was offered up by someone that knows their shit in recruiting and isn't a UT alum or fanboy.9 points

Except that the center has been utterly crushed. The only option that has had any success in the past generation is “do nothing, accept no reform at all.” Don’t talk up the center when the center is as vehemently - and successfully - opposed as the “take all guns” extreme. The pro gun movement is a zero compromise extremist movement. And why would they change that approach, they’ve done nothing but win? And they’ll continue to do so....until they don’t, and you and I lose our guns forever because we’ve set a clear precedent: only the extremes are acceptable. “The center” is preposterous and unacceptable to the powers that control the pro gun movement, and that’s how it’s going to stay.9 points

I am only making a request, but please don’t use that word. I have a friend whose nephew is autistic (And an amazing young man) and she has heard him called that word and it really sets her off. It’s a very hurtful word to use and needs to become a relic in our vocabulary. Again I am only asking.8 points

The pirate looking flag is the banner of Phillip Dimmitt, who presided over Goliad before Fannin. He just missed most of the fighting at the Siege of San Antonio, and then failed to make it back into the Alamo -- from whence he'd been sent out to scout -- in time to die with all the rest of them, just as he lucked out of a similar fate at Goliad. And then he headed east and missed out on taking part in the Battle of San Jacinto by one day. After the revolution he set up a trading post down near today's Calallen, and one July day in 1841 he and his buddies were snatched up by a party of Mexican soldiers who hauled them down to Matamoros. Some believe the whole deal was a set-up by two rivals from up the Nueces aways -- a Mr Kinney and a Mr Aubrey, two Texian merchants who dealt in contraband, one of whom was drinking buddies with the Mexican general Ampudia. It was later alleged that Ampudia conspired with Kinney to eliminate Dimmitt's competition. Kinney was tried for treason but acquitted; evidently he was in tight with President Lamar. Dimmitt and 20 assorted Texian captives were marched off toward the interior. In Saltillo, after somehow drugging their guards, all but Dimmitt and one other prisoner managed to escape. Of those, 11 were recaptured and executed; a lucky 7 escaped to the high Sierra and eventually, back to Texas, I guess. As for Dimmitt, As a prominent revolutionary, Dimmitt was the most prestigious of the prisoners and was therefore confined separately, thereby missing the big jailbreak. In the aftermath, he was told that he had two futures ahead of him: a long sentence in Mexican prison, or execution in reprisal for the escape, should some of the Texians elude capture. Before they could settle on choice two, Dimmitt loaded himself up with a lethal dose of morphine -- did these guys have unlimited access to drugs? -- and went to the land beyond dreams. Although he managed to just miss martyrdom twice and San Jacinto by a day, he did get a county named after him. (Carrizo Springs is the seat; it's misspelled, too: Dimmit.) And before he died he had two sons: Antonio Alamo Dimmitt and Texas Phillip Dimmitt.7 points

lol... leading the team in tackles doesn't correlate to being the team's best player. I watched him enough to see that he was okay in run support and completely lost in coverage. And when I say he's been terrible, it's as a player for this program, not just on the field. He's been in and out of the portal 2-3 times already. If you don't want to be here, don't come play here. Who mentioned anything about his race other than you? You can have shitty family support and not be black, I'm not black or white, but I've had shitty family support at points in my life. Regardless, he was a juco guy that never got recruited by big time programs, was given an opportunity that most kids do not get, and he seems hellbent on fucking that up. I'd rather roll the dice with Jaylen Ford at MLB or one of the other younger guys.7 points

Good info. I wonder what percentage of Texas' GDP is contingent on it being a part of the U.S., though.7 points

Yeah, Texit might actually be a net plus for the US. I could see a situation where Texas is allowed to peacefully secede, which tilts much of national American politics far to the left, leading to more and more dipshit rednecks moving to Texas to live in their conservative utopia while most of us leave Texas for the US. We'd probably all make some good money selling our homes to dipshit carpetbaggers wanting to play cowboy and then we could go live where adults are in charge and can keep the heat on when it gets cold, while Texas devolves further and further into some pathetic larping cowboy version of a Bioshock game. The downside of course is the many minorities in Texas who probably can't afford to move and would be stuck with the country run by larping cowboys who are also racist as shit.7 points

A guy sits down at the bar and orders drink after drink. "Is everything okay, pal?" the bartender asks. "My wife and I got into a fight and she said she wasn’t going to talk to me for a month.” Trying to put a positive spin on things, the bartender says, "Well, maybe that's kind of a good thing. You know... a little peace and quiet?" "Yeah. But today is the last day...”6 points
