    Long way off, but in their first year, Ehlinger would be a senior, Rising and Thompson would be third year guys, and Roschon a sophomore. Chances are at least one transfers, probably either Thompson or Rising, although that might not be until the spring after Ehlinger graduates and Thompson, Rising, and Roschon are vying for the starting spot. If Roschon wins the job, then both probably transfer. Long way off, of course.. 

    Yeah, and my money is on Roschon long term. So the '20 QB probably doesnt matter.

    I think you and I both know that I was citing an example, not the example. You've been gloriously and perpetually wrong about recruiting and recruits involving Lake Travis. I think it dates all the way back to Hornfans. 

    Dude, grow up and move on. This is stupid. I was "wrong" about Garrett Gilbert along with most of the rest of the world. Again,  WTF? I have not been wrong about any other LT recruits. I dont think I have recommended any others except for Cade Brewer (Texas), Brendan Jaimes  (Nebraska), and Austin Hiller (Northwestern). I didnt even recommend Charlie "Fuckin Freshman Offensive Player of the Year" Brewer for Texas. Nor did I recommend Shaun Nixon a few years ago. Yes, I am a LT homer as a HS team but not as to players. And certainly not for those players going to Texas. I am a Longhorn first and foremost and will always choose my alma mater over my kids' school.

     

    As for your example, it was nothing more than an attempt to dogpile. My info on Wilson was as direct and real as it gets. I told you who and where it came from. In Wilson's case, it was from three different sides. I am fucking apologetic it turned out to be wrong. If my information isnt appreciated, I will just keep it to myself.

    Hopefully Hornsby is on board for a two QB class with Card 

    That would be an amazing class. By the time they would get to campus, it would be Sam, Rising, Thompson, Johnson, Card, Hornsby?

    that would be an amazing QB room.

    Texas was getting Wilson, right up until they weren't. "EVEN HIS PARENTS WERE SURPRISED - YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW!! " Right. 

     

    OMGERD I was wrong about the college choice of a high school kid!!!! GTFOH

    It honestly makes me sad to read your recruiting takes on LT players. I know you're a nice enough guy, and that adds to my sympathy. I have this image in my head of you being told whatever fantasies people conjure or want others to hear and there you are, taking it all in, hook, line, and sinker. Meanwhile, others are watching or standing nearby and laughing hysterically. You're the most gullible poster I've ever encountered on these boards, and that's saying something. 

    Have you ever heard of the concept of "kennel blindness"? Look it up. You have it.

    Dude, I didnt even give a "recruiting take" on an LT player in the post you quoted. I simply stated facts. 

    Me? gullible? Hahahahaha! ok dude, put the meth down and get back to work.

    Meh, you get the drift. He wasn't the QB last year. You've spent petabytes on the boards extolling the virtues of the future Ohio State back-up QB and caveating Card's output yourself. He's got a ton to prove at the QB spot and none of those schools currently have him on the board as an outright QB recruit.

    I agree he still has a ton to prove at QB and have been consistent in that message throughout. But you are wrong. Those schools are all currently recruiting him as an outright QB recruit. All of them stopped in to spring practice and offered after watching him throw and going through a workout. 

    For me, I would rather Texas wait and find the best QB during the season. If thats Hudson or Young or Hornsby, I dont care. I just want the best QB for Texas. But that is not how QB recruiting works as most commit before the beginning of their Jr. year for recruiting purposes.

    If Hudson does commit, it makes things a lot more interesting with Wilson.

    Yes, he is. For starters, his Texas offer is as an athlete. And the notion that you're calling any Alabama offer legitimate, much less that the position is rock solid is absolutely laughable. 

    Saban: "Sure kid, yeah, your invitation to come compete at our camp can be for QB" /snickers.

     

    Saying all his offers are for QB is fucking stupid, as is listing out the statistics of how 24/7 ranks the kid. The composite rankings aren't even out yet, so you're taking for gospel the views of one website....that lists Roschon Johnson as like the 90th player in the state of Texas. Geeze, man. 

    For starters, the offer from Texas is as a QB. So you know fuckall about his recruitment thus far. Second, my information on the status of his offer not only comes from Hudson Card's mouth but also directly from three people on Texas's staff. 

    You think I dont understand what an Alabama offer means? Get the fuck out of here. I know exactly what it means. But that doesnt change the fact that Alabama came to LT's practice, watched him spin the ball, and offered him on the spot errrr invited him to come to campus to audition for Ole St Nick.

     

    And Im not taking shit for gospel. I am just going off how they are ranked right now. But if you think a Lake Travis QB will go down in the rankings, you are mistaken. Just about all LT QBs throw for 4k yards, 40+ TDs but Card will probably also run for 1k yards.

    This time last year, Grant Tisdale was all the rage as well. The rankings for next year's class from this year's dickfaces covering this stuff mean nothing.

    As to your posting, you speak with certainty yet are repeatedly wrong, even about shit happening right in front of your face in your neighborhood. I have absolutely no doubt that the staff has told Card that they're recruiting him as a QB for the 2020 class. I have no doubt that they'll let him play there as well. That considered, don't shit yourself and bawl all over your wife's shoulder whenever they discover after his 5th practice at QB that he makes a much better fit on the WR corps. 

    Until a player has taken a varsity snap at QB, they're unworthy of blind trust or as a solo bet at that position for an entire recruiting class. Card might really rev your engine, but he's an athlete dressed up as a QB until he proves otherwise, and there is no fucking way any of those schools aren't viewing this recruitment as such as well.

    Well then i guess you dont have a fucking clue what youre talking about as the kid has taken several varsity snaps at QB including starting regular season games, playoff games, and playing all but one snap in the fucking 6A Division I State Championship game. If youre gonna have a take, at lease educate yourself before you go embarrassing yourself in front of everyone.

    You're right, I am a dumb - I had Hornsby as a mid-to-high four star in my head. Card does probably need to maintain or boost that ranking while playing a full season of QB to keep it, but it doesn't really matter at all. That'd still be a sick QB class.

    agreed.

     

    And for those doubting his credentials, Hudson has started a few games for LT when Baldwin was banged up during the regular season and first playoff game and then played all but the first play of the game in the State Championship game. The kid put on a show every time he was under center. After watching him this Spring, he is going to put up monster numbers through the air and on the ground. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up the top ranked recruit in Texas before its all said and done.

    You did say: "When Hudson Card commits, it will be as a QB not as an athlete. I don't think he minds being part of a 2 QB class."

    He can phrase it any way in his head, but if we also get a guy like Hornsby, that's the way it'll seem. Either way, they'll settle it once they're at UT, it doesn't really matter.

    Why? Card is ranked higher than Hornby. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have both of them. But Hudson is the higher ranked recruit. 

  11. 7 minutes ago, texifornia said:

    If we get Hornsby as a QB1 take and Card as a QB2/ATH, that'd be sensual

    Hudson is not committing to any school as QB2/ATH. He has more than 20 offers including Alabama, Ohio State, Texas, Michigan, Oregon, Ole Miss, Auburn etc... All of them are for QB. For the class of '20, he is the #2 DT QB in the nation and #1 QB in Texas. He will commit to a school as QB1.

    Someone go check on @Longhorn94

    ha! 

    When Hudson Card commits, it will be as a QB not as an athlete. I don't think he minds being part of a 2 QB class.

    Texas is his favorite. It wouldnt surprise me if he commits soon but I have no direct information one way or the other.

    My son finished up his first year on the 40 acres, and hasn’t said shit to me about his grades as an undeclared liberal arts student. He did manage to get himself on disciplinary probation, and the fraternity he pledged got kicked off campus.

    He’s pretty much a chip off the old block.

    Almost forgot - I also got a phone call from Callaway in the Fall threatening potential eviction for an unlicensed boxing ring that was hosting a weekly fight night in his living room.

    Damn I miss college.

    That's awesome!

    Not one single thing you listed would have prevented today. Not one. 

    False. If the Dad would have kept his guns secure, and lawful gun owners always follow the law right?, as required by law and punishable by the proposed prison and civil liability, then the kid doesn't have a shotgun and pistol.

    Once again, I said I would support all of those suggestions.  I just don't think for one minute that when the next school or concert or movie theater gets shot up with pistols by a 22 year old that purchased a gun legally we will be on this board saying "that's a shame, but it's the cost of freedom".  I support some measures to try to reduce people getting killed like this, but I would really like to hear some suggestions on how to stop them.  Would identifying the potential "shooters" early and removing them from society for evaluation and help be supported regardless of how much person privacy is given up to help identify them?  I don't know.

    I think you do the things I suggested plus continue to build a profile to try to redirect potential shooters to a more productive path. Because the shooters are only 1% of those with the same pent up anger. The other 99% dont ever go that far but instead take it out on their families through abuse, etc... 

  16. 22 minutes ago, Hate said:

    I could absolutely agree with all of these.  What will you suggest when all of these have been implemented and someone 22 years old buys 2 pistols and a few 10 round magazines from a licensed firearm dealer and then goes and shoots up a school or concert or movie theater?  Will that be just the cost of freedom?  Or will you be back here calling for the ban of pistols and 10 round magazines?  I have yet to see anyone actually suggest a way to stop these things. Maybe because there is no way to stop these things from happening short of instituting some extremely Orwellian measures.  

    i dont understand why the slippery slope argument is always thrown out. i dont see a big call for banning pistols or 10 round magazines. i think we can balance freedom with safety. we do it every single day in every other regulated industry. guns are no different. we as a society should be able to come up with a consensus balancing our rights, freedoms and safety without going overboard in either direction. but this shit has got to stop. 

    background checks including mental health exam, including listing anyone who might have access to your weapons

    gun safe requirement / responsibility civil and criminal if someone gets your gun and kills someone

    yearly training and licensing requirements including home and safe inspection

    no guns owned by anyone under 21 or access/use without a licensed gun owner supervising

    anyone selling or allowing someone under 21 to have a gun - automatic prison and liability

    no assault rifles / buyback program / unless you are licensed for it

    no high capacity magazines / unless you are licensed for it

    anyone who sells, allows or converts a gun to auto goes to prison with auto sentencing

    this shit is easy. no one wants to take your guns away. no one is taking my guns away. my dad is a retired deputy sheriff. i doubt there are many on here who own more guns or have the safety training as my dad was the SO's range master. so i am not interested in taking away guns but i damn sure want to make sure you are responsible with your gun ownership and my kids' lives depends on it. and that is reality not some fake dreamt up revolution that the cabela crew is constantly "preparing" for. 

     

     

     

     

     

  17. HOLY CRAP! My daughter just got her SAT score this morning and she scored higher than both of her brothers!!! I am one proud papa to say the least. But seriously, I guess their Mama is smarter than I thought because there is no way they are getting any of this from me. Wow... Now I just need UT to work its magic and convince her to stay home for college!!!

    Since this is the humblebrag thread, child #2 graduates tomorrow night with his Masters in Civil Engineering (could also go in the graduation thread, can't wait to fight the shitshow at the Erwin Center tomorrow night, then turn around and be back in Austin at 8am for the Masters-only ceremony at Bass...).  He's already got a job lined up in Dallas, starts in the middle of June.  

    When he was little, people thought he was "special", we never did, but he couldn't talk well and just seemed to be off in space  all the time.  Turned out, his hearing was all fucked up, even though they kept telling us, no, he doesn't need tubes or anything.  They actually put him in the pre-k for special kids.  Once we got everything figured out, my wife busted her ass one summer to work on his speech before he went to kindergarten.  Even when he was in school he never seemed "smart", he got good grades but never was a bookworm or anything. 

    Our daughter was the genius, top of her class every year, graduated valedictorian, top score at state in Academic Decathlon.  The boy, I never figured it out, he played sports (never too "into" any one, but just to try them all, although he did finally hit a groove in cross-country), was first chair in band (thank you, that's my influence there), learned guitar solos by ear sitting in his room, just normal.  But damned if he didn't start taking all the math/science classes in high school and just acing them.  And then he got valedictorian as well.

    Suddenly, it just all clicked.  My wife's dad was an engineer with the Highway Dept. for 30 years, so we kind of steered him that way, I don't think he really knew what else he wanted to do.  He just took to it like a duck to water.  My daughter, she's still probably technically smarter, she went to Rice, got a degree in linguistics, lives in Seattle now and draws comics while she's looking for a job.  Like I said, he's already got a job laid out, I think eventually him and a buddy from high school want to start their own firm.  Would have never in  a million years guessed how this would have turned out for the both of them.  And he plays in my polka band with me, father and son on stage together.  Couldn't be prouder.  

    wow! that is a great story!!! congrats to you, your wife, and your kids!!!

    My wife loves the show - I thought she might give it a pass after the extreme violence of S2E1, but the story has been great in the following episodes and she’s all in again. 

    Agree with those who say last night was the best episode of the series. Fantastic. I think that the “human host” is MIB and he’s in his “interview” after not surviving the uprising. The only hole in that is that I don’t get the impression that Ford really had a hand in the secret immortality project, but that’s probably a false assumption. 

    ok did i miss something? do we know there is a human host? someone was mentioning three on the previous page? if someone can explain, i would appreciate it.

    That's right.  And I think the House can be flipped.  But without the Senate to convict....I'm just afraid even a very positive 2018 midterm election outcome won't be enough.

    Our future will depend on the political courage of a handful of GOP Senators.  Every now and then, the fate of the Republic rests in the hands of just a few people.  I expect that this will be one of those times.  Our fate will depend on their courage and integrity.  Because of that...I don't like our chances.

    at the very least, if the House flips, Trump's agenda is done. next, if he is impeached by the House, he is done as a one term president. if the senate remains republican and refuses to remove, then they will run the risk of finding the same fate as their Republican brothers and sisters in the House. my hope, i know there is that word again, is that the 2018 is a wake up call to the Republicans in the Senate and after he is impeached, they act out of self preservation to remove Trump.
