    I truly believe Texas was one play away from the national Championship. Any of those four downs at the goal line. 

    I agree, but the play was the screen before halftime. If that doesn't happen, we kick a filed goal on 4th down there to go up, and bleed as much clock as possible, instead of just playing for a tie/overtime.

    I am getting a season ticket this year for the first time. Did my selection a week or so ago. Can anyone tell me when I can actually access and download the ticket? 

    Also, for lots of games (midweek games especially), season ticket seats are just a "suggestion" - my kids have sat first row behind home plate at many games despite our tickets being much, much, much further back.

    But for bigger games/SEC series, don't do that.

    I got a blue smoke smoker a couple years back. That fucker is bad ass and bullet proof. Cannot beat the price for what you get. All 3/8 steel. Son of a bitch went through the bottom of my trailer when bringing it home. Once you get the stack dialed in she his right along around 260 as long as you feed her a split every 45-60 min.

    I am planning trip for the family in March.  Kids in elementary school. Spring break. 

    I went when I was a kid 1990s and we stayed in Hanalei.  I remember the north shore having more soul and being more authentic (outside of Princeville).  March is apparently end of winter and of rain season.  The ocean might be rough, even at Tunnel.  Is this just mattress tag warnings or is this a real issue I should avoid?  

    I went the 1st week of March in 2023 with three kids and the weather was fine. It was a little chilly the first night, but after that we got to do the beach every day, the canyon, etc. It did rain pretty much every day, but only for about half an hour or so.

    This is a good deal for Texas Baseball and Softball. They make original, grape, apple, strawberry and raspberry flavors. Would think they might have made an orange or burnt orange flavor for this deal.

    University of Texas Athletics Announces Sponsorship with Big League Chew featuring Exclusive Texas Longhorns Packaging

    Dec 17, 2024

    Austin, TX — December 17, 2024 —The University of Texas announced today that it is welcoming Big League Chew, the one and only shredded bubble gum, as a sponsor of the Texas Baseball and Softball programs. As part of this collaboration, Big League Chew will launch the officially licensed “Longhorns Pack,” a first-of-its-kind co-branded packaging featuring a collegiate athletics program.

    Known for its iconic shreds and stay-fresh pouch, Big League Chew’s Texas Longhorns themed graphics put a burnt orange spin on the classic package, including options featuring both Longhorns baseball and softball player caricatures. Big League Chew has been a staple for generations of baseball and softball players and fans, and the collaboration unites one of America’s most beloved bubble gum brands with Texas’ prestigious programs. Longhorn fans will be able to find the product in H-E-B, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and other Central Texas retailers in the coming weeks.

    As a sponsor of the Longhorns, Big League Chew will receive high-visibility benefits that bring the brand into the heat of the game. In addition to being featured in the dugouts of Texas’ baseball and softball teams, Big League Chew will have a prominent presence at both UFCU Disch-Falk Field and Red & Charline McCombs Field, including ads on all baseball and softball mobile tickets, and digital and static in-venue signage throughout the ballparks.  Texas Athletics and Big League Chew are also exploring influencer marketing partnerships with Longhorns student-athletes.

    “We’re excited to announce the sponsorship with Big League Chew and their integration into the upcoming baseball and softball season,” said Lucas Motta, Vice President of Longhorn Sports Properties. “This unique partnership introduces the first licensed gum product of its kind that will be available at major retailers for all Texas Longhorn fans and alumni to enjoy.”

    Texas Athletics and Big League Chew worked closely to develop this partnership with athletics multimedia rights holder Longhorn Sports Properties, the locally based team of Learfield – the media and technology company powering college athletics – and the Collegiate Licensing Company, a division of Learfield and the University of Texas’ exclusive trademark licensing agent.

    About Big League Chew
    Sitting in a bullpen in Oregon in the summer of 1977, Portland Maverick lefthander Rob Nelson came up with an idea that has had a lasting impact on the game of baseball: shredded bubble gum in a stay-fresh pouch. Since hitting the shelves in 1980, Big League Chew has produced and sold more than one billion pouches and is designated as the “Hall of Fame Bubble Gum” by the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum. Big League Chew is proudly made in the USA by Ford Gum, a top manufacturer and co-manufacturer of assorted gums, confections, and health-related products for leading American brands.

    the only way to answer that question pre game

     

    Quinn Ewers reportedly has recruiting personnel from Ohio State, Alabama, Notre Dame, and Georgia all reportedly “extremely interested” in him as a potential transfer QB.

    Ewers is reportedly “not even a guaranteed second round pick” according to several NFL scouts.

    Many NFL scouts reportedly believe Ewers “needs” to grad-transfer and will make more money staying in college rather than he would playing in the NFL.

    Ewers reportedly has “multiple” $6+ million offers to transfer, with some being in the Big Ten.

    The money in college football is absolutely INSANE 😳

    Say “reportedly” one more time. I dare you.

    Just renewed season tickets and parking pass. Was hoping to move behind 1st base side but none were open (needed 4)

    I am right behind 3rd base dugout, 1st row so hard to complain too much. Cannot wait for this season. Never liked Pierce as I thought his base running approach was shitty and obviously he was ass at pitcher development.

     

    LFG!

    Just renewed mine too. I was able to move down fairly significantly from last year (when I was in court during my time slot and was left with almost nothing to choose from). I'm in under the overhang in 103 this year (due to kids). If it was just me and the wife we'd have had more options.

    So let me get this straight:  Texas is the last SECSECSEC team standing in the CFP?

    how does this square up with the aggy worldview?

    Let me try:

    Even though Texas has won two CFP games, Texas A&M had a higher success rate in their loss in their bowl game. Therefore, the Aggies actually are outplaying the longhorns.

    Don't neglect to include Baylor in rape and homicide enabled universities and athletics programs that should have been shut down forever! 

    In hate and amount of damage.. I'd rank it:

    1A) PedoState

    1B) MSU 

    2) Rapelor

    MSU did more damage for a longer period of time, but at least their fucking fans didn't defend it nor did the university erect a statue of the ring leader.

    And don’t forget what Craig James did to those, ahem, ladies of the night at SMU.
