  1. Every time this thread is started especially after a good season I always think of the somberness of the ending scene of Friday Night Lights where they are outside the stadium and coach removes their names from the depth chart and discards them... Last night was the final time we will ever see the 2021 Texas Longhorns baseball team play... Yet a month and a half ago we were playing TCU in Lupton sweating out seeding wondering if this team was good enough to make a run and here we are a run short of playing for it all... Sad but proud 🤘🏻

  2. I haven’t read anything since before this last game, so I just want to say thanks to this team. I’ve been paying attention and going to the Disch since around the mid 90s and this is one of the more memorable teams I can remember. It was a great run, especially considering Covid, and I’ll forever remember these kids. They fought hard and they did their school and city proud. Hook em.

  10. As noted on another thread, I’ve been in Portugal all month. It’s been by far the longest I’ve been away from my girl for the whole 11 years of her life and I’ll finally get back to her later this week. Tishka. The longest relationship of my life.

  13. Awww, the most corrupt AG in history, who acted as though he was Trump’s personal attorney and outright lied to the American people about the Mueller report in a blatant political act, finally had enough? Fuck him. String him up! He’s as much of a traitor as Trump.

  14. Alright, lemme e-lab-bore-ate. Nice way to usher in July (those who were saying "the cool weather's gone" were a bit preemy, huh? - never say never, but yeah, I know that probably after this stretch we could be in the smelter once and for all, but I have reason to doubt a bit.... another post... remind me to say why). We got an interesting 2-ply scenario here. First, a typical summer savior - weather coming in from the Gulf. A low is moving E to W towards us. This is due to the summer jet lifting more N and allowing the Easterlies to expand and blow stuff our way (which is also why hurricanes come towards the U.S.). So it's always good when we get weather from the Gulf in the summer. But the second situation over the country is a bit unusual... a big blocking high in the East is preventing weather from moving W→E, so the weather is being squeezed SE, much as a winter or spring pattern. And we got that bigass hot high out west baking the NW, which is preventing storms from tracking to the N in the first place, so they are swinging below it into the southwest U.S. So that's forcing a frontal boundary down into Texas, which is kinda rare (although we just had one last week). As a result, we have a one-two punch. The front from the NW will hang out for a few days, and stuff under it, esp. just to its south, will get wet (where that is is a dice roll). The low is going to move into us, and now it looks like it'll collide more with the front to produce more lift, and more weather - this is why models have trended up the past 2-3 days. Of course, this is Austin, and it's summer, so Ron Paul It's Not Happening can dominate (i.e. predicted shit fizzles out). Never say never regarding that in Austin in the summer. But, I think there will be enough mixing up of crap with these two things that it would be highly unlikely that at least something wouldn't fall over you, even if for a brief spell, over the next 4 days. I think a good swath will get a good amount of rain, not flooding or anything, but enough to re-wet the ground and keep temps down yet another week or two (in the summer, every day under 100° is one less day it might go over it). But where this swath is? <crickets>. Hopefully over us. Of course the best thing about this, with or without rain, is temperatures. We're expeting a full 5-6 days of under norms, and at least 1-2 of those under 90° (and despite the weeping/gnashing of teeth above over 2/3 of June, it only officially got over 100° 2 days - that's it. Not as bad as thought). So anyway, this should be a very nice week - yeah a bit soupy but lots of clouds and hopefully some good soaking rain. I. Will. Take. That. Any. Day. In. July. Bitches. So therefore: Today - noticeably cloudier through the day, temps a little lower than the last few, although I could see them getting easily into mid-90's, looking more like 93° or so max in the hottest parts, cooler in most. Chance of spotty showers pretty good starting mid-afternoon. Not everywhere, but enough that a lot of us will see them. Mon-Wed - this is the peak of it all, with Tues-Wed. especially, as the low moves into Texas and bumps into the front. Again, where that front stalls or slows will be the mostest rain. Days will be clearly cooler, lots of clouds again and hopefully a good bit of rain for most of us. I hurt writing that, because it is summer in Austin, yeah right, but I think this is gonna happen to some degree. Thu-Fri - rinse and repeat, but gradually increasing sunshine and temps, decreasing rain chances. Highs back near 97° ish, rain returns to spotty and scattered, but definitely still in the picture. Outdoor plans should be decent today (but watch after about 3-4, but nothing severe or long-lasting). Not so great Mon-Wed, and good enough to risk Thur-Fri. 4th fireworks etc... too soon to comment on that in detail, but probably decent as most of the weather will have ended by then.

  15. I was thoroughly, thoroughly impressed with your team this year. Jealous, in fact. They were great at everything.

  16. C'mon, guys, let's get this straight. Matt Gaetz is clearly Butthead. Jim Jordan is Beavis. This is not hard.

  17. Well arguing that Texas would be like Mississippi without oil is like arguing New York would be like Michigan without finance. It’s kinda pointless. The point is Matt Gaetz is the perfect combination of both beavis and butthead that it’s almost like mike judge knew the dude before he wrote the short comedy clip “frog baseball” for spike and mikes sick and twisted animated festival (saw that at the Dobie in 91) and ultimately liquid television on MTV.

  18. been following some nesting orchard orioles and may post some osprey shots. Still working on getting better and can't always articulate the settings--mostly auto because I'm just too damn slow trying to adjust in real time. But they're pretty grainy otherwise.

  19. We should include this as a part of high school. Very few are motivated to do additional education that cost time and money. You include it as an option where students can work carpentry instead of geometry or chemistry and you’ll have more students participate in vocational training that can lead to an internship or apprenticeship during summers and/or after graduation. Leaving high school as it is wasteful for about a third of the students.

  21. I know 2 kids who went the TSTI route. Neither one was 'college material'. But both were hard working and wanted something more. One is know a diesel mechanic in East Texas and the other works for the FAA. Both are in their early 30s and living better than some of the fools who questioned their choices. Not having more vocational opportunities and learning is criminal negligence, IMO.

  24. C Ardoin 1B Kash 2B Daly SS Faltine 3B Stehly RF Hodo CF Kennedy LF Porter DH Witt, Duplantier UT Campbell, Ford, Geib C Powell, Peter, Constantine OF Wakefield, Whitehead SP Witt, Hansen, Kubichek, Eckhardt, Stewart P Merryman, Cobb, Walbridge, Wallace, Bryant, Lummus, Noah, Sthele, Grossman, Hutchins, Arthur, McKinney, OBanan, Harrison RP Shifflet, Southard, Johnson, Duplantier, Gordon, Nixon Will have to see who they lose to the draft. Stewart is probably the only signee at risk. Kennedy, Melendez, Williams, Stevens, and Quintanilla are not listed among the top 500 draft eligible prospects so there’s at least some chance they return. Getting one of Melendez or Williams back would fill a big hole. Both players could raise their stock but it likely wouldn’t result in much more money. Transfer shopping list would be an OF, a power bat, and maybe a SP.

  25. Ratings wise, he’s a lot like Anthony Cook, he peaked his sophomore year of HS and he’s pretty maxed out. His rating will probably continue to drop throughout the cycle, but he’ll still end up overrated because he started the process as a 5 star. If he was Collin Johnson, he’d be a better take, but he’s only 6’2 so his inability to create separation will hurt him a lot more.
