So follow-up, I called 911 later that morning because they said "please contact 911 if you have any information" and I told them "thanks for letting me know, but my kids are accounted for and are pre-teens anyways." They weren't happy about that call (guess they were upset they still didn't have any info, I dunno) and kind of vaguely threatened me for calling 911 with that info, so I decided not to spout off some Dead Milkmen lyrics at them.
Anyways, apparently APD uses 911 to reverse-call everybody within a few miles when something like this happens, but my wife didn't get the call (and her phone and my share an account).
Was wondering what the follow-up to that was, but the area where the kid was at is Tarrytown, so yeah, there will be no follow-ups.
You should have just told them you drive a bitchin' Camaro, and 911 is a joke in their town.

Thinking about this more, we have had a lot of great DBs over the years but none are worthy of a Mt Rushmore especially when guys like VY, Ricky, Earl, Nobis, Street, and Layne exist.
I don't disagree in the broad strokes at all. However, watch the video bellow and think about this question. What was the strength of Texas last year? Who was the best player for the strength of the team and likely the most important? What about 2009? What about 4th and 2?

Been a lot of videos with a lot of music that was a bit of a struggle. The narration on that one might make it top 5 of all posts in this thread and I've no idea what he was saying.

Aggies are very nice. One time I could not locate Kyle Field from the parking lot. A couple nice Aggies helped me find my way. I was not intimidated.
Are you trying to say they didn't take you by their tailgate first, embrace you with open arms, and provide you the most exquisite culinary delights known to man prior escorting you to your seat?!?
I'm calling bullshit.

Based on the link you posted, there are 9 (if we include Schooler at his assigned position and not as a STer)
Thompson, Barron, Jones, Locke, Schooler, Boyd, Mukuba, Elliott, and Jamison.
I'm also counting 12 for both LSU and Ohio State.
Not sure why yours are off from mine... username checks out? Haha
I did it quickly prior to a meeting with certainty that Surly would check my work. So, thanks! 😘

My favorite part about that play is watching Zuhn get his dick stomped by Collins and then going over and picking up the ball after his RB dropped it.
He is so fucking defeated. I saw it then but it's epic. Thanks for the refresh.

It's only mid-June. By mid-August they will be expecting to make the CCG and Playoffs.
Expecting to make?
No, by August the Heisman, SEC and National championship won't even be in question. The only close games will be ND who they'll see again in the championship (after they later lose to) and LSU (cause "rivalry").

Bobby Layne should be the 2nd QB. 3 time all-swc and 2x All-American. College and NFL HOF
That's not what was asked. We've (general we as in Surly) have had that argument before. He was asking why Colt hasn't been mentioned.
This list is subjective. You are welcome to create your own as well rather than arguing with me on every post.

How the fuck have none of you people said Colt McCoy
Just now, BurntOrange&White said:Because he wouldn't be on the mount rushmore?
Who on my offensive list do you think Colt surpasses?
Offense:
Ricky Williams, Earl Campbell, Vince Young, James Street

Thorpe is an award for a position/group. Its not a standard that would knock Vince out. Vince has Davey OBrien, Maxwell, and Manning Awards. I am sure there is someone that you could argue on the positional award criteria, but it is a solid jumping off pt for picking the greatest Longhorns ever.
Derrick Strait (I see you Lanier) beat Vasher for a Thorpe and Bush beat VY for a Heisman. I have a predisposition against the subjective bias of awards, but your point is sound.

Earl Thomas doesn’t have a Thorpe but he’s better than Huff, Ross, and Barron
not his fault they Thorpe people gave a lifetime achievement award to Berry
I dunno if I agree that Thomas is better than Barron. Particularly as a team contributor. Texas D isn't what it was last year, not close without Barron's play, particularly in shutting down screens but in the broader terms as well.

I think Vasher is on. He is one of three 2x All-Americans. VY is also in the College HOF, so he is obviously on. The point is DB is arguably the most competitive position if you are doing a MT Rushmore for Texas.

There have been 18 DBs that were 1st team All-Americans. That is the first cut.
2 time All-Americans: Vasher, Gray, and Johnnie Johnson.
3 Thorpe award winners (Huff, Ross, Barron), since it started being awarded in 1986.
Feels like to be in the discussion you have to at least be a 1x All-American and have a Thorpe (if after 86).
Gray and Johnson are in the College HOF, so they need to be on any Texas DB list. If you pick 4 to be on the Mount Rushmore, you are going to be leaving some serious bad asses off the list.
Well, I think there is a balance between winning awards and actual team contributions. If not, do we throw out VY for not winning a Heisman? Of course we don't. Thus I think the Thorpe qualification is a bit of a stretch. I would say, to their teams, Vasher and Barron were arguably more valuable than Huff and Ross. As for College HOF that's an important measure, sure, but does that mean Vasher or Ross is off. Obviously, there is a lot of subjectivity in both picking the players you think should be there as well as who wins awards. Just because a player didn't win a Thorpe, doesn't mean they weren't the best DB that particular year.
Semantics and opinion aside, nobody can pick 4 from Texas DBs nor D and feel like its a complete list cause as you said.... the people left out are insanely talented contributors.

A lovely dish of braised human flesh deserves the best.
I thought I knew you. Braising human flesh is like boiling a filet mignon. If you aren't using a cast iron skillet and broil, you're just lost in the process.
You're really disappointing me man.

Ah, but the original quote stated "99% of the time this guy wasn't eating people." I believe that applies specifically to the actual consumption of people. I think it's a stretch to include meal prep and cleanup.
Some people just love to move goal posts. I've found Edge Lords to be particularly fond of the behavior.

Vasher was better than Huff and Ross in my opinion. I think Barron was too. Earl Thomas was better than all of them but only had the one outstanding year.
As a team contribution player... Vasher and Barron are very hard to argue against.

Jerry Gray and Michael Huff are locks. Beyond that it gets hazy. You can go as recent as Jahdae Barron, or all the way back to Johnnie Johnson and Raymond Clayborn for options.
If Huff is a lock I'd say Ross and Barron are too.
But in contributions to Texas football Diggs never missed a game in 4 years and won 3 All Big XII awards. That leaves out Vasher who was a demon in tackling, passes broken up, and INTs as well as Jammer who is #2 in interceptions. Forgetting about Thomas who was phenomenal. Its a bitch picking 4 on DBs alone.
Aforementioned Hampton, haven't talked about Corey Redding or Sims. Like I said.... a Texas D Mount Rushmore is a beating because of who you have to leave off. Even picking 4 on DB is a bitch.

It is kind of crazy that the LSU/Ohio State DBU conversation starts in 2000s forward but ours does date back to the 60s-70s
I would even agree if someone put Barron on their top 4. He was instrumental to our D last year. Huff and Vasher always seemed like they came through in the clutch moments. Stanley Richards mentioned above was a big part of "shock the nation". Hell, Texas DB Rushmore discussion could EASILY be it's own thread.
Edit - went to count. As of today there are 7 Longhorn DBs in the NFL. 9 OSU and 6 LSU.

I personally don't care for SF nor the people in SF. I do love SD and Long Beach and the people in both. Oddly, I really like Laguna Beach, New Port Beach and Huntington Beach but I'm not particularly fond of most the people in any of them.
I've never felt the need for a gun in any of them.
Watts... little sketchy.
Though I've never been in a protest nor riot in any of them unless you include me protesting the lack of attention from smoking hot women in all of them.. so...
