  1. We are at an Indian (dot) restaurant last night, and they had some cricket game (match?) on the tv. They kept showing a trophy that presumably went to the winner, so it must have been important, right?. All I could think about was how flawed these guys’ swings and fielding skills were, and that none of them would stand a chance if they tried playing NAIA baseball. 

    That’s all I got out of it. 

  2. Jason Burleson came in as a 6’-5” 230# QB in the late 80s and became a serviceable TE. If he played his entire career for Mackovic, he may have been more than serviceable. As I recall, he moved better than he blocked.

    It means a junior going into their senior year.

    People use it during the spring/summer to differentiate between players who are going to be seniors and players who are seniors right now and are about to graduate. 

    I should have just put the word “rising” in quotations. Like is this supposed to be the year Vahe finally exceeds his freshman performance levels?

    Howe article on the offer to Akporoghene ::

    With Texas yet to get on the board with an offensive line commitment in the 2019 class, co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Herb Hand continues to leave no stone unturned looking for quality prospects. Hand’s latest offer, which went out on Wednesday, was extended to a lineman at one of the nation’s powerhouse prep program.

    IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) tackle Chris Akporoghene is the latest linemen to receive an offer from Hand and the Longhorns. The 6-foot-4, 290-pound prospect posted about his offer on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon.

    “Blessed and humbled to receive an offer from the university [sic] of Texas,” Akporoghene wrote.

    Akporoghene’s story is an interesting one. Approximately three years ago, Akporoghene moved from Nigeria to the United States in order to pursue college opportunities, landing at The King’s Academy in Seymour, Tenn. Earlier this spring, Akporoghene transferred to IMG and the move has paid off in terms of the caliber of the school’s recruiting him now that he’s at a must-see location for college coaches during the spring evaluation period.

    Since the end of January, Akporoghene’s offer list has grown to include the likes of Michigan, Miami, Virginia Tech, Nebraska and most recently Arkansas. Approaching 30 offers, Akporoghene’s top suitor appears to be Oregon (the only 247Sports Crystal Ball pick on Akporoghene’s profile is in favor of the Ducks).

    Akporoghene’s offer list looks much better than what his national ranking indicates (No. 1,137 overall nationally according to the 247Sports Composite). Akporoghene has yet to take any official visits.

    The Texas offer was extended to Akporoghene on a day when the Longhorns were set to visit two of their top offensive line targets. Hand was in the Houston area on Wednesday and was scheduled to make a school stop to check on four-star Houston North Forest tackle Javonne Shepherd before making his way to the Conroe Oak Ridge spring game to check on five-star offensive tackle Tyler Johnson.

    Along with Shepherd and Johnson, Texas remains in pursuit of Crandall’s Branson Bragg (the nation’s No. 3-ranked center according to the Composite). The Longhorns are also still actively recruiting five-star prospect Kenyon Green of Humble Atascocita, four-star tackles Stacey Wilkins (Camden, Ark./Fairview) and Jack Buford (St. Louis, Mo./Lutheran North) and Tampa (Fla.) Plant four-star guard William Putnam.


    The 2018 cycle saw Texas sign five offensive linemen, four of whom were high school prospects. Tom Herman told Horns247 recently that all four of the prep signees — Junior Angilau, Rafiti Ghirmai, Christian Jones and Reese Moore — are expected to arrive on campus for summer workouts with the rest of the 2018 signees who have yet to enroll.

    The Longhorns are currently set to lose four offensive linemen over the next two years, beginning with the departures of rising seniors Elijah Rodriguez and Patrick Vahe. Denzel Okafor and Zach Shackelford are entering their true junior seasons in 2018.

     

    Wth does he mean by “rising seniors”?

    Damn, I kept hitting vote again and it kept going. Had no idea you could get in 25 votes a day. 

    I’ve voted the past two days. I convinced my wife, one of my daughters, my son and his wife to do the same. That’s 250 votes. I’ll continue as long as they’ll put up with it. Now I know the excitement aggy must feel.

    I take a shit at HEB about once every six weeks or so.  Lovely, clean restrooms.  Fully enclosed toilets.  Loud hand drying things that drown out bathroom noises.

    I also drop a deuce at the office several times a week and I only work with 4 other people.  

    How would that change if you worked with 5 other people?  Or 10?

    Your sons friend is a piece of shit just like Malik. Makes me sick thinking about these ungrateful primo donnas who don't respect the University of TEXAS and just want to be "paid" for their "labor". And he's a fucking idiot because he could come back and play for free for the greatest football team on God's green earth for another year and instead he goes and signs a contract making him a millionaire! Fucking greedy 20 year olds ruining our great University and state and country. 

    Prima... unless they’re top notch donnas. 

  8. One of my son’s friends dropped out of engineering school after his freshman year to take a job with a fiber optics company paying $10,000 a month. He said he’d eventually get his degree, and knowing his family, I think he will. 

     

    I had no problem with his decision, so it’s hard for me to be too critical of Malik...other than for his lackluster play for most of his time at Texas.

  9. My 20 y.o. daughter hears "jelly."

     

    No pics for you pervs.

     

    I clearly hear "Laurel," but then again, I'm normal.

    I'd be willing to bet that ole Baker Mayfield had an impact on Wilson also. It's not lost on me that the bitter QB from Wilson's own HS who had to go out of state to get a real shot got drafted #1 overall just days before Wilson decided to....go out of state.

    Is Wilson walking on as well?

    I like the Frost hire, but that particular accolade seems misplaced considering the offensive style.  The first time we lose a game where they fail to convert on a 1st and goal, with all of the plays being run out of the shotgun, the fan base is going to lose their shit.  You'll be able to play bingo with the message board criticisms at that point with "that offense won't work in Lincoln" having the center square.  I'm a Husker fan, but we, like Texas and ISU, have our share of idiot fans.

     

    I have no idea what you're talking about.
