  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. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Bobby: Michigan all-conference offensive lineman Andrew Sprague has entered the transfer portal. Sprague entered with a no-contact tag. Texas is expected to be a real player in this recruitment.
  5. Marcel Reed when asked about losing to Texas again
  6. Now this is the good stuff. Gig Em GazetteLonghorns wanting to snag Cam Coleman from A&M are missin...This one may come down to these two in-state rivals— and the Aggies should have the leg up.
  7. If we don’t get 10 Portal commitments today I’m going to kill myself.
  8. Guess it’s an opportunity he couldn’t let slip through his fingers.
  9. They just ran out of conferences.
  10. And if you were wondering, while it was a bit rough (and the boy does NOT do well in heavy seas of any sort, so he needed to head back in after a short time out there), we DID fish for just a bit afterwards. My folks actually would have loved that.
  11. There is a very good chance that our reporters gaslit those morons into meeting Reed's absurd financial ask with all the shit they were stirring the past 24 hours.
  12. When you can lay out the Micah Hudson success story to an elite WR, it has to be compelling.
  13. Nice. I think he's a guy that could flourish under Muschamp and a mystery safeties coach with an affinity for Denny's.
  14. Just to be perfectly clear, and to eliminate any possible confusion, that’s not one of mine. Holy shit.
  15. Check the Burnt ends board for more details, more to come but is going to be huge for baseball pitching
  16. Reed outplaying arch 90% of the season is fascinating
  17. TEXAGS Vinny 3:45p Yea, still not buying that Cignetti's better than Elko. I think Elko could have done the same thing in Indiana with that schedule.
  18. Not so patiently waiting/hoping for the news that Goosby is coming back next year instead of heading to the NFL.
  19. A post from a parody account got picked up by a dumb online news site; that's what you're seeing. Follow the link. It's "no3sports" rather than "on3sports".

    Hey, man, you’re the Portal Pirate, you tell us.
  21. IT Per a source, Connor Robertson is meeting with Texas about his future today. He walked at senior day but has one year of eligibility remaining. He was very reflective and sentimental after the A&M game, but walking at senior day is not binding. Robertson is a local kid and a big Longhorn, and the source said he’d prefer to stay.
  22. I’d answer you, but talking on a message board is a huge waste of time.
  23. Our OL targets are Canadian. You wouldn’t know them
  24. You put a lot of thought into writing something this dickless. Strong work. Everyone was doing a great job of avoiding the conjuring of negative Texas personnel scenarios. Then you showed up to doom us all.
  25. Do most subordinates stop their bosses from running things the way they want to?
  26. I just saw that Brock Riker is from Brock HS in Brock, TX. Not kidding.
  27. Aggies are the least self aware people on the planet. "Why would Coleman rather play for Arch than Reed? Just because Arch is the face of college football and his last name is Manning and he's going to be the preseason Heisman favorite and then probably the first pick in the draft... I just don't get it."
