    He really did go fully off the grid for a long while.  I tried to call him for some reason a year or two later but his number had changed.  I think shortly thereafter some guys from the original crew bought the website rights and tried to revamp it.  He showed up mysteriously to some post-game party around 08/09 and a small group hung out for awhile.  Nobody brought up the bus debacle as I recall.  And then I ran into him again around 2011/12/13 when we had some late season non-conf. game versus FAU/UCF or one of those garbage teams.  Still Wheeler in the Lee Jeans and white shirt and hat, like McMurray from Letterkenny.  Just shot the shit for a minute over a couple beers.  I think he had gotten engaged or married.  He was trying to keep a low profile which worked out well, because nobody around recognized him unlike the old days when he was a minor celebrity.  Also helped he got much, much quieter with age.  so yeah, been a full decade since I last talked to him.  

    If you're out there Bob, let us know you're still alive at least.  You renegade bastard.

    You can find him on Facebook at this profile.  I was in college during the glory days of LFZ and Bob was always cool as shit to us at the tailgate parties.  I remember getting drunk with several of the players parents and even seeing Bob get kicked out of a UT tennis match during the spring game tailgate.  I don’t know the whole story on the bus debacle, but I remember when it went down and I wasn’t involved.IMG_3437.thumb.png.7783ad6c69448733a00fdab98187ec65.png

    It's fucked up, but I find it funny that people are offended at football fans behaving badly. Our beloved Texas Longhorn fans only act with the utmost class at all times. It's all those other schools who are classless and uncouth. /cleansmonocle

    Don’t you know?  Texas fans are the only ones allowed to be assholes.

    there’s a plan in place if weather gets bad

    hopefully it stays to the northern part of the city 

    They are warming up the lights in the Astrodome just in case NRG gets blown to Oz.

    How many games you been to there? I’ve been to 15+ and I can tell you this is just all kinds of not correct. I will say when they are playing some little sisters of the poor or losing to Minnesota there it definitely doesn’t feel huge and is extremely underwhelming both noise and general vibe wise. It’s weird when 105k can “feel empty”. When it’s 110k+ and rocking it’s a wild ass fucking stadium though. 

    It was so fucking loud during the crazy monsoon notre dame night game in the wildest weather I don’t even know how to describe it. 

    I did graduate school there and attended every home game for 3 years.  I saw UM-OSU twice, UM beating Penn State on the last minute pass to Manningham, Michigan State, Notre Dame games, etc.  I’m not saying it’s a bad place to watch a game, I’ve just never been blown away by the noise or atmosphere in that stadium like I would have expected.

    It’s mostly underground .

    It has about as many rows (96) as DKR just without an upper and lower deck split.

    Rows 80s and 90s are going to be aways away

    The Big House is underwhelming, even with the press boxes they added about 10 years ago.  It doesn’t look that big when you’re in it and the sound goes straight up to the sky.

    Mack is the embodiment of his upbringing. Like some people you know, maybe even yourselves, he literally grew up as the less-favored brother - in his case, Watson. Mack was not the quarterback, his brother was - Mack was the fullback, who had to block for his brother, he didn't even get to carry the ball or catch a pass. He wasn't the shortstop and pitcher, his brother was - he was first base and right fielder. Dad was all about his brother, Mom was all about his brother.

    Poor Mack. Dad loved his brother more than he loved Mack. Mom loved his brother more than she loved Mack. Nothing Mack could do was enough to win over Mom and Dad, not even nearly winning National Championships and actually winning one. 

    You'd be thin-skinned, too, under the same circumstances. 

    If only Mack had written an email about getting drunk and going to the 1999 Big 12 Championship game that got forwarded to a bunch of people and posted on Hornfans 1000 times….then he would have felt like he accomplished something his brother couldn’t.

    Had a great time in bed with my girlfriend this morning. Got up and made biscuits with sausage gravy. Went for a walk in the park before this rain. Took a nap. Farted a few times. I think it's the 12 pack of Guinness I consumed yesterday as I have a definite stale vitamin B complex aroma. Thinking about binging Reacher. 

    She lets you fart on her while getting it on?

    I’m thankful.   I predicted 9-3, and 12-2 with a spot in the CFB bets that all to hell.  We humans will always want more.  We can seek that more in upcoming seasons, legitimately. This is a different place than we are used to.

    Take the extra wins pussy!

    Caldwell is a stud and it sounds like Texas is doing everything they can to get his grades in order. 
    One of Trill Carter or Collins + Caldwell gives us a filthy interior DL again. Not as good as Sweat and Murphy of course but still really good. 
     

    When Sweat and Murphy were sophs nobody was talking about them, and even last season both had a few flashes here and there, but far from dominant. While it would great to land an experienced DT in the portal, I'm hoping we already have the answer there on campus.

    Right - Bo was telling them to get in the motherfucker.

    Ewers may never win a national championship, but he's playing a pretty vital role in bringing this program back to where it should be given its resources and advantages.  We are entering a golden era of Texas football and will be in SEC title and playoff contention for the foreseeable future.  If we keep refining and improving and not settling for what we saw last night, the stars will align at some point in the not-too-distant-future.

    But aggy hired Elko so our soon-to-be NC might be in jeopardy…..LOLOLOLOLOL!!!

    First let's talk about the game-    Here's the deal. Sometimes the other guys are really good and they can make plays as well.  Penix was making great throws, and to be honest our coverage was tight most of the time early, but the receivers were making fantastic catches!  Hell if you look at our players offensively the stats are good individually but not cumulatively. Running Blue 6.6 ypc, Baxter 7.1 ypc, passing Sanders 12.5, Whittington 17.5, Worthy 22.5, Blue 11.3 with Baxter 19.5 yard per catch.  The anomaly is Mitchell at 5 ypc.

    But Ewers completes only 55% of his passes.  The complete ones were solid, the running game was solid, what was weak was completion percentage and fumbling the ball away. Even then you have to remember that one of Washington's TD's was a tip, And one 3rd down completion was a tip that took heat off a ball that would would have been overthrown.  We also got lucky with the early muff.

    But let's talk about Sark. Bottom line is we nearly won a game with our QB only completing 55% of his passes against an undefeated #2 team in the country.  The fact we came back at the end was a testament to the type of mentality this team has developed!  The most difficult thing for a head coach to do is build a culture.  At first coaches have to come in and be not only the coach, but the head disciplinarian and head motivator.  And it's never, ever, ever successful... at least at first.  Winning coaches develop a culture within the team where team leaders are the motivators, and largely take over the role of disciplinarian of the players producing accountability to the team and each other.  THIS is the secret sauce to success over time.  Sark has added this secret sauce to our team and now we are in a good position moving forward from an accountability and team unity perspective.  And that my friends is light years from where we were, at 5-7 with us finding a way to lose and players not looking past the tips of their own noses in many cases.

    Today we have a solid two deep at every position like we have not seen in decades.  OF course there are some holes to fill, but it's been a long time since we had backups of a high enough quality level to step up and step right in.   Sark has in essence rebuilt the program. In his own image no less.  I think that one of the things that I like most about Sark is his relationship with the players.  You hear time and again how he genuinely takes an interest in their lives beyond football, and that's how he spends most of his time interacting with players on an individual basis.  His past very public missteps also make hime more relatable to kids.  As opposed to the dishonest "just be perfect" mindset so many coaches project, despite the reality.  I think this makes Sark approachable and makes players and equally as importantly a player's parents comfortable with him.  This has allowed him to kick ass high school recruiting.  The other thing I LOVE about Sark is he realizes that continuity is so very, very important in maintaining a culture.  He has been very selective in bringing in portal players, because he understands how one or two very talented bad apples can start a rot in the whole barrel.  This is perhaps the most overlooked quality that I think Sark possesses.  

    We had disappointment last night. But Sark has earned his money and we are in a very good spot going into the SEC in 2024.  Imagine what might have been with 58% completions and only one fumble... If you are not happy with Sark you are a fucking moron.

     

    I’m a fucking moron and I am still happy with Sark!

    Lol how the fuck is he gonna go pro after that performance. He was getting his passes batted at the line. He had to run to move the ball. They aint gonna cut it in the NFL. He has to come back.  

    Agreed

    I was thinking the same thing - especially when  you could see the passes Penix was completing in comparison.
