  1. With roster changes coming, maybe he wouldn't have made the 34 man cut for a baseball scholarship but would make the 105 man cut for a football scholarship?
  2. Posted in the Olympics thread Thought it was pretty cool to see yesterday, they did a feature on American swimmer Reagen Smith (silver, 200m backstroke I think) before the race and showed videos of her training with Bowman while he was wearing Longhorn gear. Makes for great exposure I reckon.
  3. He's the private coach for several American swimmers and he's the head coach for the French national team... so that's a lot lol Also, pretty cool to see... they did a feature on American swimmer Reagen Smith (silver 200m backstroke I think) and showed videos of her training with Bowman while he was wearing Longhorn gear. Makes for great exposure I reckon.
  4. Also, sort of Longhorn adjacent is Shaine Casas, who will be swimming the 200 IM (alongside Longhorn Carson Foster). Originally from McAllen (Puro RGV!), he went to A&M (first NCAA swim champion in A&M history), then intended to transfer to Texas for his senior year. Instead of transferring, he decided to turn pro instead, but he still made the move to Austin to train under Eddie Reese. UPDATE: Finished the semis with the 9th fastest time, does not qualify for the final
  5. I'll try to keep a running list THURSDAY UPDATE: Hubert Kos, rising junior, wins the Longhorns first GOLD in the 200m backstroke SATURDAY: Add 2 more GOLDS!

SUNDAY: Scottie does it again and shoots -6 on the back 9 to storm to the GOLD!! Most clutch golfer since... you know who? Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday: Add a silver medal for Alfred in the 200m Thursday: GOLD for Tara Davis-Woodhall in the long jump!!

  6. It looks like what someone thinks a trash can might look like in Back to the Future
  7. Fun 2-2 draw with preseason Chelsea today
  8. I have a niece named Neveah (Hispanic, not white, surprisingly, I know). Phonetically, she is Neh-vay-yah.
  9. I saw other reports that fee could get as high as €20 million, probably with performance add ons or sell on clauses or etc
  10. I'm about to hit my 12th year in the military, which comes with a little pay raise as long as the pay people don't fuck it up. You can expect my contribution to go up once that hits
  11. Keep asking. He'll get tired of his break eventually. Pleasepleaseplease.gif
  12. Long game. Klopp hadn't stepped down from Liverpool yet when we rehired Gregg.
  13. It's happening? Fox Sports post-game reporting Gregg is OUT!
  14. How do I enable 2FA on mobile? Not finding it in the settings
  15. I hear Karen Key Largo knows some nice friendly Asians that do all of her computer- stuff that she can recommend
  16. I think it's pretty obvious that we're just waiting for the end of the MLS season so that we can hire the guy who coached the team that finishes 10th (or maybe we'll shoot for the stars and go for the guy that finishes 9th!)
  17. This sounds awesome. Count me in! I haven't played any football games in the past several years, so I'll need some practice, but I'm in.
  18. Not sure if you made that up off the top of your head, but that exact guy actually does exist. https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/fabian-hurzeler-who-is-st-pauli-s-us-born-coach-former-bayern-munich-youth-player-22956 Houston born Fabian Hurzeler just took St Pauli back up to the Bundesliga and was just hired by Brighton, becoming the youngest premier league manager ever at the ripe age of 31.
  19. Hey guys, does anyone know if Bevo was at the introduction? I'm really interested to see if Bevo and Schloss have a natural bond and if Schloss willingly reaches out. Bevo is a huge part of our university and our athletics programs so if he has an instant affinity for Coach Schloss, I think that will speak volumes to our recruits. If anyone could, please take and post video of their initial encounter. Any still shots of Coach Schloss petting Bevo would also be appreciated - would prefer if taken from side so I can see as much as possible of both their faces. Edit: damn it, that's what I get for not reading the entire thread. Da Fino beat me to it literally by several days. That's what I get for thinking I'm funny lol
  20. I think, in her head, what she was looking for was something more like Florida-FSU. Or maybe UNC-Duke. But then she unknowingly stumbled onto a perfect comparison
  21. Anytime! Hope you have a great trip. It was around 100 yen per dollar when I was there. Made the conversion in my head easy when I was trying to figure out how much I was spending. If you need cheap and easy souvenirs, hit up a Daiso; it's basically a Japanese Dollar Store. If no price on it, then it's 100 yen, some things will be 200 or 300 yen. We bought Japanese fans, chopsticks, coloring/sticker books, all sorts of stuff. Now everything will be cheaper than a dollar given the conversion rate. Also, don't convert money at the airport. They will not give you the best conversation rate. If you want the cheapest rate, take American cash and use the exchange machines at 7 eleven/Lawson's/Family Mart.
  22. Gosh this makes me miss Japan. For dinner, Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki is my favorite food of all time. If it's baseball season, definitely catch a Carps game. The energy around Japanese baseball is DIFFERENT. Tickets can be hard to find, but if you plan far enough in advance, can maybe buy some online. This might be tough because when I did this, they mailed the tickets, so might need a Japanese address to mail these to. The baseball stadium is walkable from Hiroshima station. If you want the history, Hiroshima peace memorial Park, the atomic bomb dome, and the museum. Very well done and somber museum about the atomic bomb from the Japanese point of view. Think Holocaust museum. Can easily take up a full morning or afternoon. When I took my wife to Hiroshima for the first time, this was a must. One stop down from Hiroshima station, but maybe a 30-45 minute walk instead if it's a nice day For shopping/souvenirs, Hondori area is a must. Massive shopping area with multiple malls and souvenir shops. The PARCO mall there has a Shonen Jump Store and a Pokemon store for the kids or anime nerds in your life. This area is right next to the Peace Memorial Park and Hiroshima Castle. Took my wife shopping here after the museum. Mazda museum is in Hiroshima as well. Never had a chance to go, but I've heard really great things. Definitely had my fair number of days going to the castle/memorial Park, followed by Hondori, then night baseball game, just in time to catch the train back to Iwakuni. Spoilered for length, but here's a list of restaurants in the area a friend and I put together (includes Sake breweries in Saijo and things to do on Miyajima Island)
  23. Agreed, I think having all of the rankings would clutter up what you're trying to do. But I agree with @BornOrange, I like having a national player rank and a position rank, maybe under "Status: Committed"?
