  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.

    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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. I, for one, am heartbroken that Jaggy McJaggerson was told to go be mediocre and drop passes somewhere else. Maybe he’ll wind up with $250k from a dumbass program like Tech that wants to claim victory off the field against Texas. I am now claiming analytical dominion over all of the idiots on this site who thought that this reject from Alan Jackson’s lineage would ever amount to anything worth a fuck at the University of Texas. All of you people have been cheering blindly for a traitorous hillbilly born with a silver spoon in his mouth and skillets for hands.
  10. I didn’t know this kids name an hour ago - now I desire him more than anything else in this world.
  11. Well, just in case folks aren’t getting it, and I don’t think folks really are, here’s one for you. The scouts really liked the King guy from Wyoming. Thought he’d be a good scheme fit and had great technique. So he gets in the portal and his first visit he’s invited to is Texas. The guy shows up for the visit and Flood immediately nixes him as a candidate for a scholarship. Not big enough. I, for one, wholeheartedly trust Flood at this point to crush his evaluations through the eye test versus the work the scouting team has put in watching hundreds of hours of tape over the past few months. Woo woo!!! Wooooo!!
  12. I think this was a joke, but just to make this clear to every single person and to ensure they spread this to their Texas Tech friends/Cody Campbell dick slurpers....Texas has spent more in NIL than Tech has in every single year since NILs existence. Cody Campbell is just loud about it, and Tech is such a shit ass school that the mainstream populace can't believe anyone would go there for any reason outside of vastly overpaying to get them to that shit ass school in butt fuck egypt Oh, and they still haven't scored a single point in the playoffs
  13. Bobby is a really good man and he does the hard work as a journalist when he is on a story. His weakness is that he’s not cynical enough with his trust in people from the coaching and AD worlds. Agents, recruits and parents? Yes. Coaches across the landscape? Tends to believe them with less skepticism. I don’t think he gets actively lied to, I just think when someone like Harris or Flood is telling you something, you have to temper it a bit. Gerry is the opposite. Almost too cynical and skeptical at times, but it has served his track record well. He’s been right more than anyone else in the space time and again. That’s true on evaluations as well. For every Daniel Cruz people want to bitch about, there are many guys like Byron Murphy and Cam Williams that he liked a lot more than the rest of the industry. I don’t think Nahlin is unconnected, but I do think he is also too trusting. We should question anything coming from OB or Chip Brown because those guys are often actively being used in messaging campaigns of one sort or another and they don’t even seem to care as long as they can claim having a source or a scoop. Vogel, South, Scruggs and others are young guys still learning and occasionally stumble into good stuff. I think South is the best of them, personally.
  14. This sucks. And to be honest, I don't get it. I mean, I get it for Zina. He's been patient, he's shown flashes in limited time, and we go out and chase an Edge in the portal, which is the LAST position we need. We need a fucking QB more than we need another edge. And here we have a relatively cheap player who we have developed, ready to take the next step, and we go after portal guys. At some point, fuck, play the guys you've recruited and developed who seem fucking good.
  15. Accelerates the ruin of this sport? Listen I agree that I don’t want to overspend but let’s pump the brakes on waxing nostalgic about the sport that had a rotation of Alabama, Georgia, Clemson and Ohio state winning the national title every year with an OCCASIONAL blip by LSU or a sign stealing Michigan. While Texas sat on its balls. I’ll take this iteration which doesn’t include basic indentured servitude, thanks.
  16. ATM isn't Oregon or Campbell's Tech. They don't have NIL on Texas' level. The only way they actually "outbid" Texas here is with something so truly stupid that it sabotages other shit for them. If Harris and Sarkisian are otherwise spineless enough to let a couple hundred thousand dollars be the difference for them, they are actually weaker than I thought. Texas has landed their targets at DL, TE, special teams, and likely their top 2 priorities at OL. Two guys they tried to lure into the portal at RB stayed home and they may not land the biggest alleged prize in the whole fucking thing that isn't a QB. Okay. That's not a cold start unless you are an overreacting fucktard on a Texas site or wishcasting rival fan. If Texas lands Raleek Brown as part of their RB solution, that will be snagging one of the unquestioned best RBs in the portal and someone that you and other okies were heartbroken over losing when decommitted and signed with Riley at USC. So, no, NFL noise isn't involved with any of this. It's an odd overall take coming from someone rooting for a school signing a bunch of guys that Texas wouldn't lower themselves to, for a second desperate cycle in a row.
  17. James Simon is returning for 2026, per Hank South
  18. Woods, Sprague and Guarena are all getting in-homes today with the Texas staff, per OTF
  19. There was a 13 page thread on Michigan State's On3 site about Masunas transferring. They thought he was a NFL level TE that wasn't featured enough because their offense sucked so bad.
  20. So, ... Who was the Alabama WR coach during that time, you ask ? And what is he doing now? (Btw, I was chuckling until I realized we didn't do much better ... our record was salvaged by Worthy (and Mitchell, if you include him). But at east we don't have Coleman and Marion as our OC ... ).
