    They moved the game to tonight, so a lot of you posters can get more shit faced before kick off :). Remember we have tradition to think about :)

    No update from Texas Football Twitter. An hour ago, they tweeted that the game is at 1pm CT

    Some heavy shit moving through FW as I type this, huge crack of thunder woke me about 20 mins ago. Austin still looks good on the radar map though.

    I'm on a flight from OKC to DFW and we were diverted to Austin.

    So we really were their Super Bowl?

    We last made the tournament in 1986. Conference championships in 1955 and 2019. With a team full of players that likely grew up either Texas or Texas A&M fans. Uh, yeah, this is 100% the super bowl.

    That's my take, too. Either that or a guy from Troy got a good look at the talent at an SEC school and said "you know, I think I don't belong here."

    Or, after practicing with the guys that lost to App State (who lost to Troy), maybe he went, "you know, I think I can do better"

    Football team is going to make noise at the FCS level I can already tell. I drove by the baseball stadium a couple weeks ago and they’re making some progress on the football practice facility next to it.

    I'm really excited for football season. Coach Bush obviously has ties in the valley and has FCS coordinator success. He's all in trying to get the community on board and I think he's definitely going to have the support

    God forbid we end up being stuck with...
    *checks notes*
    the next Colt McCoy.

    Csb

    I was a freshman in high school that year. My computer science teacher was a Texas XC alum and avid recruiting follower. I was in his class that morning and he turned to me said "Perriloux signed with LSU. Now we're stuck with this fucking 2A quarterback." 😂

    Matthews’ dad took a big bag and told him where he was going.  Matthews was legitimately crying at school as a high school senior ahead of whatever his announcement or signing ceremony was. Just soft. 

    He’s also far and away better than most of their options. It sounds like there are more departures to come from the “lots of talent, not a lot of a motor or ambition” department. 

    ATM is about to field the best Sun Belt team in the SEC. 

    They better be glad they're in the SEC, because they wouldn't be the best Sun Belt team in the Sun Belt.

    Japanese high schooler who was projected to be the top pick in the NPB (Japanese professional league) draft instead signs NLI to play at Stanford

    "Japanese Phenom Rintaro Sasaki skipping NPB to play college baseball at Stanford"

    Spoiler

    Japanese high school baseball phenom Rintaro Sasaki signed a National Letter of Intent to play at Stanford, the team announced via social media on Tuesday. Here’s what you need to know:

    • Sasaki, 6 feet tall and 250 pounds, was projected to be the top pick in the NPB draft before he made his decision to forgo it, according to multiple reports.
    • The 17-year-old hit a Japanese high school record of 140 home runs.
    • Sasaki played first base at Hanamaki-Higashi High, where his father Hiroshi Sasaki coaches. MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani attended the same high school and was also coached by the elder Sasaki.

     

    Sasaki’s potential path to MLB

    Sasaki’s decision is relatively unprecedented. Last year, Rikuu Nishida was selected in the 11th round of the MLB Draft by the Chicago White Sox. Nishida was born and raised in Japan but elected to play his collegiate ball in the U.S., first suiting up for two seasons at Mt. Hood (Ore.) Community College before spending his junior season at Oregon. Nishida wasn’t nearly as high-profile a prospect in Japan as Sasaki, however.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Sasaki’s path to the major leagues could be expedited by playing in the U.S. He could be eligible for the MLB Draft as early as 2027. Had he been drafted in the NPB, he would have to receive permission from his Japanese club to be “posted,” a system that allows NPB players to be signed by MLB teams. Players need at least nine years of service time in the NPB before they can freely sign with MLB teams.

    Sasaki could have also elected to try to sign with an MLB team as an amateur free agent, but his bonus would have been limited by the international bonus pool caps that each MLB team is bound by. Traditionally, MLB organizations have refrained from scouting and signing Japanese amateur players in deference to their relationship with the NPB.

    Now that Sasaki plans to play college baseball at Stanford, he would be MLB Draft-eligible in three years, which wouldn’t grant him free agency, of course, but would give him a quicker entry to the MLB system and potentially a higher signing bonus than one he would have received as an amateur free agent, assuming he goes in the top two rounds. — Melissa Lockard, MLB editor

    Yes, and that's the last year they'll be there.  They're moving to Hermosa Beach in 2025.

    Well, there's a chance I'll be moving to San Diego in the next year or two, so all is not lost.

    Then in mid November I got a text from my most trusted source in East Texas telling me to be on the lookout for Hampton to announce a flip to Alabama in a few days. I passed it on to Texas who seemed to smooth things over for the most part and soon enough it was back to smooth sailing.

    Obviously this happens and 9.95ers pass things (or try to at least) back to the staff through their sources. But I find it interesting he's willing to straight up put that out there that he passed info to the staff to help them keep a recruit.

    Similar story just substitute vodka and grapefruit juice for those other drinks. Turns out after a point its the cruise line that decides what "all you can drink" really means

    I recently found out that, to Carnival, unlimited = 15 in a 24 hour period. Bastards seriously ruined my buzz. No recon on other cruise lines yet.

    We have zero chance at the tourney, the girls we have this season aren’t very good. 

    Well that's unfortunate. Nationals are in Gulf Shores, which is less than an hour from me. Would've been fun to go cheer on Texas in person

    I guess the Devil's wife must have made him the sandwich he wanted.  Grandma used to say if the sun is shining and it's raining the Devil is beating his wife.  

    When I was a kid playing little league in the RGV, one of my coaches told me that his grandma used to tell him that. For some reason, I never forgot it.
