  1. No. Do you believe everything you read on the Internet, doofus? If we went through all of the things I've been accused/described as or been accused/described as having, I'd be the weirdest and fastest alien chimeric Greg Davis imaginable. 
    So just Greg Davis.

    Today is the first day of practice in full pads for the Horns. The team gets going at 9am.
    Texas coach Steve Sarkisian will meet with the media immediately following practice.

    After gathering intel from the first three days of practice, it’s clear that Arch Manning is stepping up.
    The redshirt sophomore from New Orleans has been described as accurate, with the ball coming out quickly.
    But perhaps the bigger piece overall is what one source told me more succinctly.
    ”He’s got a command of the offense, of how it’s supposed to run, the timing of it. He’s just impressive,” the source said.

    Saturday’s practice was marked by the team going at it pretty heavily despite not being in full pads.
    The team even worked inside run on Saturday. While some onlookers called out DJ Campbell’s performance and style of play, I’m told Neto Umeozulu has looked the part as a starter thus far into camp.
    We’ll see if that continues, but it’s very likely that the guard-center-guard combo could be a different type of interior with a different strength than a year ago (or the past couple of years).

    On Saturday, during team period, I’m told Parker Livingstone found the end zone a couple of times. He continues to have a breakthrough spring camp.
    **
    With Trey Moore working exclusively as an off-ball linebacker thus far into camp, it’s given more opportunity for Zina Umeozulu to step forward. Zina, like his brother, is earning positive comments behind the scenes.

    If you’re looking for a breakout star on defense, Jelani McDonald could be the guy to watch.
    McDonald has worked primarily at safety in camp and has looked more like an elder statesman than the relative newcomer he was a year ago.

    If we get more elevated (i.e., brutalism) on our inside OL, I would love for us to run more inside zone.

  3. Hirohito was not just the emperor he was a god to the Japanese people, superior to them by custom. The Japanese people had never even heard his voice before. When he told the people that Japan needed to unconditionally surrender it was over. The Japanese military couldn't convince him to fight on, they wanted to. They knew if he told the people to surrender that was the end and it was.
    And thank goodness, cuz if every Japanese person had died, I would not have been able to land in Texas in time to see Rosie Leaks play in '74 and become the lifetime Longhorn and Bundy-esque TXHSFB bad ass Asian Sam LB football-loving-fan and UT alum.

  4. Trim your trees.  I am betting yiu have too much shade for the grass to grow.
     
    There is no grass in Texas that will grow well in less than 6 hours of sunlight.
     
    Zoysia or San Augustin varieties are your best bets.
     
    Centipede grass prefers acidic soils and higher rainfall.  If you don't live in East Texas forget it.
    We put in zoiysa, and it's 'thrived' in that it seems to be best at coming back every year and staying around in winter.

    Works with the oaks that just make dead grass patches everywhere.
  5. Looking back, he was one of the more “meh?” hired at the time. No one had a strong criticism, but no one here was excited, either. Seems like a great get at this point. 
    From Cal? I remember wondering if he was Goff's strength and conditioning coach. Lol. You're right though that Becton has been nails for us.
