Sam Degilia (of this generation) is the baseball coach at Bowie HS
Well Pete Thomas Scamardo's son Mark owns a farming empire in the brazos bottom and a fancy high priced farmers market in College Station. Not sure if his dad's heroine and gun running money had anything to do with that or not.

My older brother was obsessed with the Candace Mossler murder trial in Houston. That's were I heard Foreman's name the most. Definitely another legend.
My father once was an alternate juror for a Percy Foreman trial. He couldn't remember much of the trial because he was amazed at the length of the ash on Foreman's cigar and the fact it never fell off. After the trial he bumped into him and asked about his cigar, apparently Mr. Foreman wound a wire in his cigar so the ash would hold together and only bothered handling it when the prosecution was speaking.

Yep. Roy Minton was a household word in that smaller Austin. Colorful character.
According to my uncle, Frank tended to "raise a glass" to the wild bunch when they hollered at him.
As for colorful lawyer, Percy Foreman is the only man I have ever heard of that got a man "Pete Thomas Scamardo" off of a murder rap because the jury believed Sam Dagillia deserved killing.
"The verdict in Pete Scamardo's trial was practically unprecedented. Jurors had no trouble believing he was responsible for the Degelia killing but let him off scot-free with seven years probation."
He initially got Woody Harrellson's dad off in the same trial with a hung jury, but his star witness fled the country before the retrial.

If we're sucking dicks, Kevin Eltife should at least get a reach around.
He's the best chairman of the board of regents for football since I've been alive. Tom Hicks was really important, too, but Eltife is in a category of his own.
I don't think the measurement of a chairman of the board of regents should necessarily be all about the football program...oh, who am I kidding. Of course it should be.
Eltife is good but he's no Frank Erwin. We can talk when he starts driving around campus in a burn orange caddy.

Gates of the artic national park is amazing and it has nothing to do with glaciers. One of these days I want to see it in winter when its negative 60 and the musk ox are hanging out.
Course I also need to make a trip to Kodiak island...again nothing to do with glaciers

That's great but the fact remains

I’m assuming those are some numbers associated with Kreul. If they were ever true (I doubt the 40 time at any point in his HS career), you don’t think measurables can change in 2+ years for a 15 year old?
I thought he meant Jimbo at first but I was like Jimbo isn't 6-1 lol

Are the furries any different than the comicon people or a Halloween costume party?
As a friend put it to me once...comicon nerds can still be hot you have no clue with someone in an animal suit.

I really don’t even think this is a remotely close comparison. First, I’ve never wept after a Texas victory. And the older I get the less a loss ruins my weekend. Sure, some of the other stuff you’ve posted is accurate.
but a football victory is an achievement, or a failure. It’s not scripted, the outcomes aren’t known, there are spontaneous great plays and horrible ones, worth celebration and despair. Every outcome is different, every season is different, and there are consequences to a certain degree in the real world regarding your ability to recruit, how obnoxious your rivals will be for a 12 month period, etc. also it’s fleeting, only a few months a year.
Disney is the same. Maybe there’s some different parades and shows, but the rides are the same, until they build a new one. Galaxy’s Edge is cool, but it’s the same unless you catch a Kylo Ren sighting, etc.
I’ll put the 2005 rose bowl on in the background of my house, I’ll watch some old highlights sometime, and obviously I ingest a lot of college football content. I go to 4-5 games a year, so I invest financially. But it hardly rings the same to me as people who spent obscene percentages of their net worth going to the same theme park(s) multiple times a year and playing dress up and having it be their entire identity. Football ain’t mine.
it’s like the ren fair people who go every weekend and travel with it throughout the year, but with hopefully better hygiene and less poor.
Cry? No....but 17 year old me was wanting to shoot Brian Polydixon as he scored like 10 touchdowns against us in 1997.....

This hits close to home, literally. Winter is no joke, though.
Yeah Key West is the only other place I have ever considered living outside of Texas....Yes I have been all over the pacific northwest...its fun to visit......but I don't think I'm built for Montana Wyoming winters.

I find the Disney Adults to be very disturbing.
What you and the Mrs. don't dress like cheap soviet knockoffs of Charming and Snow White?
My wife said they have a name for the weird dressing up.
I loved taking the kids to Disney and we're taking the daughter to all the Harry Potter stuff for her 13th bday
...But Disney adults scare me.

Old people angry at young people for having differing opinions. What a totally unpredictable response and dynamic.
We've actually mellowed a bit....I once posited that The Graduate and Easy Rider were two of the dumbest films I had every seen on Hornfans and several posters about had a coronary trying to educate me on the error of my opinion....This is pretty blase' by comparison.

The twins didn't want to through Buxton in as well?

I let my daughters watch Ghostbusters last Halloween (8 and 6). It had been a while since I had watched it, and figured the more adult raunchy humor would go over their heads, but they would get a kick out of Slimer and the Stay Puft marshmallow man. It was listed under the "Family" genre was and only rated PG, fuck it. I remembered being scared of the librarian ghost jump scare as a kid so I warned them before and they closed their eyes, no big deal....what I was NOT prepared for and didn't remember was the semi exorcist-esque scene where Sigourney Weaver is possessed by Zuul and speaking in the demonic voice before eventually turning into androgynous David Bowie cosplay...that was a mistake
I let my 5 year old watch the original 2 Ghostbusters and he loved it....watching the 1st new one right before I left town for the week to take daughter camping was apparently too much and he spent the week begging to sleep with mommy.

Add me to the list of people who think Rats of Nimh and Dark Crystal can get all the way fucked.
6 hours ago, texifornia said:Rats of NIMH and Watership Down were great books as a kid. The movies seem to really amp up the terror.
7 hours ago, Drifterwood said:I had two older sisters that loved animated and fantasy movies in the 80s that had some borderline shit for kids.
Wizards, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, Return to Oz, Watership Down, The Rats of NIMH were all in heavy rotation when I was 5-7 and all the creepiest parts stuck with me. My 8yo daughter has seen all of them already other than Wizards and Watership Down.It's Secret of Nihm, and my 5 year old loved it. Rats of nihm is the book series.
Watership down and the general scared the heck out of me, kids watched the recent remake and I don't think it was nearly traumatic as the original.
Poltergeist can get fucked.
So can Hellraiser, omen, and Phantasm.
Night of the creeps was just disturbing....

My parents didn't know what they were getting everyone into when they took us to see Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. My little brother was like 5 or 6. The sacrifice scene turned him white as a ghost and I'll never be able to get the dinner scene out of my head. Hollywood was going insane around that time and one thing the Karens of the 80's got right was the PG 13 rating due to that movie and, I think, Ghostbusters and Gremlins.
Gremlins never scared me, but I was like 6 or 7 and tagged along with my cousin and his girlfriend to see Predator....let's just say the walk hone through the woods that night may have been the scariest walk I ever took home....

I'd like to have Cooper in this class. I'm not contributing more money for that to happen and many others aren't. Shopping a top offer just kinda pisses off the alpha money. M.Lee and Rosenborough are my tops. I'll contribute for them.
Sorry I'm late, but you don't think Lee and Rosenborough shopped their offers? Rosenborough literally told us what A&M offered to see if we'd beat it and we told him good luck.

Get fucked with your passive aggressive bullshit here. Some of us have dealt directly with the guy, and his boss, and every other part of the machine. Guys can get better at what they’re doing. You don’t get to retroactively use posts to talk shit about the current situation. The guy currently singing Harris’ praises was one of the biggest voices last summer about the guy’s issues, dummy. He just can’t go out and declare that the his audience at the time. Ironically, some of us were able to say something, and then we get to see this kind of shit for passing it on.
In short, if you are thrown a fucking bone, we don’t need to hear how it tastes.
So do you feel Harris has improved this year or is he same as last year but people are having to cover for him?
I am genuinely curious this isn't meant to be a "you said this back then and now what" I genuinely agree from some of the things you and others(including Bobby) were saying last year that he was in over his head. I am not in the know by any means but multiple sources last year were pointing to Harris as an issue.
38 minutes ago, Park Gothic said:Is this why you eat salsa with your bare hands like a toddler (or whatever CTJ is accusing you of I haven't followed it that closely)?
I was one of those people who thought Harris was incompetent. Or, at best, a biddable yes-man who tweeted eye emojis that did not actually seem to be related to recruiting. And I don't think my sentiment was entirely unfounded.
Now - yeah, you appear to be correct. I'm glad that Sark was able to see something in him and that the guy has gotten his shit together. I've said this a bunch of times, and I'll say it again at my peril, but I am fully in "trust the corches" mode when it comes to the Sark regime. If Sark was willing to let Glasscock go and put Harris in that role, dumb as it seemed to me at the time, that seems to have been the right call.
Now don't go agreeing with Post Oak just yet. A good coach/system can hide a myriad of flaws by making sure everything gets done or just telling people to do someone else's job for them.

I see he plays the same position as Alvin Mack, no pass coverage here.
