Not true. I heard the field was expanding for the playoffs next year. Gonna need more players to cover all that grass.
That is why they just built a 160 yard practice facility. 2-D Checkers.

Well, the good news is “ONE” of us did not get with her.
Way back when, a friend from up north asked me, "Do you know the difference between the Texas girls and other girls? The other girls say, 'you can', and the Texas girls say, 'y'all can'. "

The migration of the Texas deer hunter along I-10 west of Katy is a sight similar to the migration of the wildebeest, the Canadian goose and the monarch butterfly.
The steed of choice would be the 4 wheel drive diesel, 'cause in a pinch, that is the only thing that will do. Sometimes, you need 2 trucks to pull the first one out. Don't ask how I know that.

This under the radar announcement is the equivalent of flipping the switch on the Death Star.
Complete alignment from Steve Sarkisian to Chris Del Conte to Jay Hartzell to Kevin Eltife; from the Head Football Coach to the Athletic Director to the President of the University to the Chairman of the Board of The University of Texas System (256,000 students, $29 Billion operating budget, $43 Billion Endowment). Yes, Texas Football is important.
Gone are the days of the fiefdoms and personal agenda's and pissing matches and ignorance of the various factions that advocate their "support" of UT athletics. (Please note the "7 win Steve" dip shits with the patience of a gnat are not in the chain of command.)
"...great to know we’re officially set for the future, but we’re going to need more gas…🤘"
"going to need more gas?" >>> Whatever happened before today, ... is not enough.
How long will it take?
I'm reminded of my talk with a pipeline contractor in the 80's.
"How long will it take to lay the pipeline?"
Pausing, as he looks towards the horizon, "Give me a 4 joint head start, and turn on the gas!"

If you weren’t watching Babers before, it’s time to start.
I like me some Babers. My favorite analyst. "Go 'Stros!!!"
He did it, at Texas and the NFL. Card carrying member of DBU, practiced and played w/ Michael Huff, Nathan Vasher, Quentin Jammer, etc. He earned the right to offer his opinion a long time ago.
He talked about the talent and competition when he played here; he wasn't the biggest, fastest, strongest, nothing-est. If he played, it was because he worked the hard-est, on and off the field. He's a film study, numbers kinda guy.
He is adamant about pressing and covering receivers; If you can, you do, if you can't, you don't. He knew the weakness on this team a long time ago.
I imagine Rod is pretty stoked right now, with the DB recruiting/transfer haul and w/ his mentor coming back to influence all who will listen.

And has anything happened in regards to these in the past 3 hours?
No.
So we're fine. Lemme know if anything actually important happens, and I'll keep shitposting about Audrey, Marilyn, and all the weakass fucks who merely want to be Audrey and Marilyn.
And @SydneyCarton, Michigan IS a higher tier than Ohio State, but not because of their location. Michigan is Marilyn Monroe, and tOSU is Jayne Mansfield; plenty hot in her own right, but no Marilyn Monroe.
I think you were trying to make a point, but don’t besmirch Highland Park/ The University of Texas coed Jayne Mansfield in the process.
Sophia seemed to find a couple of things about Jayne that were top tier.

Counterpoint: he gave the world some fantastic malapropisms.
Did you here Michael Strahan (I'm a big fan of his, nothing but luv!) refer to the NY Giant QB as Danny Devito, not Tommy Devito, on the pre game show.
Great spontaneous outburst of laughter.

I saw at least some really smart, subtle bumps on key plays from Michigan DBs last night that were indicative of great coaching. I can't remember exactly when it was but the one that stands out the most to me was on a third down Washington had going into the end zone. The Washington receiver crossed the Michigan saftey's face\; a Texas safety and most college safeties are done at that point. But the Michigan DB subtly bumped the receiver in the route. There was no grab, no shove, and the ball hadn't been thrown yet. Just knocked him off the line and disrupted timing a little bit. Right up to the line of what's allowed but not crossing it. The throw was slightly off and the reaction was that Penix missed. He didn't, the route just got disrupted by that much.
I was just thinking about how I literally cannot imagine a Texas DB making that play. Michigan definitely got away with more physical play in the secondary than is typically allowed but they also do things like that.
It was a back shoulder throw to Rome Odunze. The incidental contact affected his footwork to the point he could not turn and jump for the ball, and it sailed over his head out of bounds. Great play by the DB.
I was going to say fucking Penix hit every throw against Texas, which is kinda true. The reality is his receivers ran down the field untouched and went wherever they wanted, with our guys waiting for them to catch the ball before they tackled them. Babers talked about this months ago; if you have guys that can play press coverage, you do. If you don't, you don't.
Both teams had good DB play, a lot of good open field tackles. Can't blame W's DB's when the RB's run untouched for 40 yards.
Michigan had some imaginative play calling, lot of pre snap motion, pulling linemen, isolating fast guys in space. McCarthy's 4th quarter runs changed the game. They have a good team across the board and were well coached. Deserving Champions.

Back in the day, in ME 202, Introduction to Mechanical Engineering, we were given the task of building an "Aggie Cooler", a device to cool off over heated Aggies (the Association of Generally Gross Incompetent Egotists). It was well known when 2 or more Aggies got together, they would work themselves into a heated frenzy when talking about TSIPs (the Texas Society of Intellectual People).
The Aggie Cooler was required to launch a water balloon from a safe distance (30 meters) to cool down the overheated Aggies.
Please know that in your own way, you Surly Horn posters are continuing one of the most sacred of Longhorn traditions.

13 minutes ago, closetojumping said:I *almost* feel bad saying this. Evan Stewart going somewhere and sucking and not getting drafted or drafted really late would also be a really helpful recruiting tool in the age of NIL. This guy was a 5 star, in our backyard, and we needed him desperately. He and his family chose somewhat more money (this part is a bit of poetic license) over being developed. Do we took other guys instead of him. Our guys are high draft picks, that guy is struggling to make a practice squad.
No reason to feel bad. (I know you don't.)
In the year of Fucking Around and Finding Out, Stewart is the poster child of screwing up every thing possible in a situation that was heavily stacked in his favor. Being the top dog WR in the portal, and Steve "Second Chance" Sarkisian and Nick "The Rehabilitator" Saban won't give you the time of day, you fucked up, kid.
Worthy initially gave off some suspect vibes, but when the helmets were strapped on, he gave everything he had, lowering his shoulder when he had too, and limping off the field, and coming back in, when he didn't. He earned respect by his performance on the field, not his antics off of it.
That's a pretty text book comparison of developing talent in a complimentary way that serves both the team and the individual.
Everybody talks about character and culture, but those things should be obvious without having to tell someone you have it.

I was curious about that too. Since you're also asking yourself, I just checked the US EIA website to see the map of electricity generation in eastern New Mexico. I figured that was likely the reason, and it might be right. The area around Hobbs has a bunch of power plants of various sorts, and that part of West Texas from Seminole/Denver City/Brownfield/Levelland looks better tied in with transmission lines from New Mexico. It might be somehow related to the fact that Hockley, Yoakum, and Gaines are legacy O&G-producing counties (like SE New Mexico) and that's just how it was set up, while Lubbock generally isn't considered part of the oil patch.
Here's a (link) screenshot:
A lot of these Permian Basin, West Texas/New Mexico towns, "grew up" around the remote oil & gas discoveries.
Notrees, Texas was a barren plain until Shell Oil built a Gas Processing Plant and a labor "camp", including planting trees, for the employees who worked there. Companies drilled for oil, and any associated gas production was flared at the individual wells. With increasing oil production, the volumes of flared gas reached a point where the flared gas was captured and sent to centralized processing facilities that removed the impurities (water, CO2, H2S (hydrogen sulfide), etc. and the higher valued Natural Gas Liquids, from the gas stream, ending up with a salable product, natural gas, that didn't smell or smoke. Out of necessity, these gas plants included power generation facilities.
As production increased, more clean processed gas became available, and commercial power plants were constructed, to satisfy the growing demand.

Yes, and then when a reasonable waiting period has transpired and the disappointing returns are in, they may backtrack a bit with the “greatest ever” talk, but will remain steadfast in their argument that whoever or whatever they’re talking about is still better than tu’s.
This is how you get people who watched college football from 2002-2005 and concluded that Reggie McNeal was still better than Vince Young.

They see that UT has a journalism school that has produced graduates who become reporters and editors at prominent publications...
They take this delusion and decide they need a jounalism school so they can produce similar biased reporters and editors as their goal.
They could have had a real journalism school built by the perfect candidate. Had she succeeded in doing that, A&M probably would have closed that school again because students and graduates of said school would refuse to be redass puppets.
ETA
The parrots of Texags, over and over:
You see, Vince Young [or Radio] is a great athlete. Reggie is a great quarterback.
That mindset existed in the mid 70's, that George Woodard was better than Earl Campbell. They do it to themselves, starting at fish camp, that everything aggy is better, just because.
They see what UT has, take their delusion to obtain/produce "similar" results, and end up with something less than what they could have had.
It is not the buildings that are important, it is the results of the people in the buildings that matter.

The punter making the linebacker look small is a fun surprise.
Trevor Gerland punted at Texas from ‘06-‘09. Went to my kids high school, was a 4.4 guy, all state in Football and track, finished second to Jamaal Charles at the 5A State Championship in the 110 m hurdles. Fastest punter I ever saw.
It’s nice having multifaceted players.

Leaving NO was a fucking disaster. Forever to check out, forever for car to get fetched, literally bumper to bumper til past the airport, several more areas of brake lights for days, Baton Rouge bullshit traffic as always...5 1/2 to get there, 9 to get back. Awful
People posted here about this. The combination of Texas Football, Sugar Bowl, New Orleans, New Years Weekend pointed to a massive clusterfuck Tuesday morning. No way I was gonna deal with an hour valet wait before a 500 mile road trip. We stayed in Metairie and we’re on the road before 10, had a 30 min (w/ lunch) slowdown/go around in BR (went by LSU). Ran into some rain an hour from Austin. Not a bad day for us.

No.
The SEC has more total NFL Talent, and better and more talented teams, but they also have their share of bad teams, bad players and bad coaches. Auburn had 3 games in a row where they passed for less than 100 yards, A&M had games where the QB was pressured half the time, and Arkansas & Vanderbilt had 1 conference win between them. Couple that with an 8 game schedule that includes teams playing each other once every 12 years, and the results are skewed towards the SEC.
In 2008, the B12 had 8 QB that played in the NFL, including all 6 from the B12 South (Colt, Bradford, Harrell, Griffin, Tannehill & Weeden). The B12 was the better league, they just didn't win the last game.
In 2022, Kelvin Banks went against 3 NFL 1st Round DE from the B12 (Tyree Wilson @ Tech, Will McDonald @ ISU, & Felix Anudike-Uzomah @KSU). There were 5 total (Iowa & Clemson), none from the SEC.
SEC better, yes, top to bottom since forever, no way.
