  1. In a world where Canady picks Tech to play softball, I'm no longer surprised if an athlete prioritizes NIL income and individual brand recognition over a better chance at winning titles. It's a logical thought that her individual brand would be better at OU scoring 20-25 PPG on a high scoring team. That'll get on sportscenter and get highlights circulated on social media. If you're not going to make a ton of money in the WNBA, most of your income is going to come from individual endorsements. Might as well do what you think is best for your brand. Luckily for us, being associated with the University of Texas, just at baseline, is good for your brand. Being a generational player at the University of Texas can be monumental for your brand regardless of individual statistics. Especially given the popularity explosion of NCAAW basketball over the last few years.
  2. As we saw from A&M, it takes much more than just buying a roster. First, you need a head coach who prioritizes a mental/personality/cultural evaluation for players along with the physical evaluation. You need a head coach who's willing to say no to a 5 star that doesn't fit. Without this, you end up with the dumpster fire that was A&Ms locker room. Second, you need a coaching staff with elite Xs and Os. Whether that's head coach or coordinators (i.e. Joe Brady for offense, Kirby Smart on defense, etc). Seems obvious, but without elite Xs and Os, it doesn't matter who's on your roster. Then, third, you need the players to execute the Xs and Os at an elite level. Seems like we are at a place where we finally have all 3 both on offense and defense (hence, back to back top 4 finishes). If Tech jumps straight to buying a roster, they still ain't gonna do shit without the right head coach and coaching staff in place. They'll be more A&M rather than Texas.
  3. Article on the Yankees facial hair from the Athletic
  4. I think the insinuation was if you make millions, you have the very easy ability to hire a private driver. But that would also require an alcoholic to be self aware and many of them do not achieve that level of self awareness until multiple consequences occur
  5. Tell me about it dude... Father Time just kind of sneaks up and punches you in the mouth sometimes.
  6. I listen to a few Spurs podcasts during the week and they bring this up a lot. One of our biggest needs is a left footed LB and Spence/Porro would be a perfect 1-2 rotation at RB
  7. Starting SS is out for the year. Had to shuffle the players at 2B/SS a bit
  8. National championship incoming. Didn't realize they were brothers, but I can see the resemblance
  9. TheBryMan81

    Austin FC

    I'll probably be at that game and maybe a few others. I'm in mission valley, so just down the street from Snapdragon
  10. Inside belt high again for strike 1. Canady is so hard to anticipate if she's ahead in the count. Now coming into to end of the game, I hope hitters are looking to take advantage of that. If she adjusts then so be it, but can't keep watching strike 1 go by on the first pitch.
  11. Using our patience against us. Throwing 1st pitch strike 4 or 5 batters in a row now and getting ahead in the count.
  12. A lot of long ABs... Hopefully that plus weather plus another trip through the lineup gets more solid contact
  13. Damn I thought that Atwood ball was out and was pumped up. Yeah, couldn't even see the ball on TV cameras, so I had no clue it was even close to being foul
  14. TK winning that early battle! Let's go see what the offense can do
  15. Hell yes, USD is just down the street from me, so I'll definitely be there next year!
  16. Excuse me Miss, I speak jive Daddy98. I believe he meant to say "wide" ass DT. Or what Texifornia implied.
  17. The ring love is another chapter in their long book of stolen valor. I know most/all universities do class rings, but the military academies are REALLY proud of their rings. My current CO is an academy grad and still wears his academy ring on most days Quick cool story bro: When I was in flight school, the instructor walks in and goes, "Ok who are the ring people in here? I know you're in here, Academy, VMI guys... Go ahead, get it out of your system now, do the bullshit knocking thing y'all do"... All of the academy/VMI/etc grads start knocking their ring on the table. The aggy grad sitting next to me sheepishly starts knocking his ring too, even though no one in the room ever thought about, much less actually mentioned, A&M in that group. Dumbass.
  18. If you have Disney Plus or Hulu, it's worth it to add ESPN+ to that bundle. If you don't have Disney Plus or Hulu already, then yeah you'd be paying for a new subscription
  19. VDV OUT vs Liverpool 😭 From The Athletic: “With Micky, and (Cristian) Romero to a certain extent, I kind of feel we have to be conservative with them. Micky got through the game (against Elfsborg last Thursday) alright but I don’t think he feels ready for the step up in intensity to the Premier League. “After losing Radu, and this is my view, I don’t want to risk losing them. The other guys are inching closer as well.” On Van de Ven, Postecoglou added: “We had a look at the figures in terms of the physical output. He does a lot more in training and got through it okay. The Premier League is a whole different beast. “We have a big week ahead of us. We have afforded ourselves a couple of midweeks without fixtures. After that, Europe kicks in which is massive for us. I don’t see the sense right now in risking that. Having Kevin in is a massive bonus for us. (Van de Ven) hasn’t reinjured the injury. I think we feel and he feels we need to get more into him.”
  20. Only 2 5-stars and no 5-star++?? What a failure.
  21. https://surlyx.com/clarencehilljr/status/1886107969600831681?t=9ZZMZLWWXCCiy-MneF2sNA&s=19 Sorry, tweet above not embedding for whatever reason. They expect Choice to get a raise at Texas
