  1. the weeping and gnashing of teeth coming out of College Station is going to be legendary.
  2. 3 top 25 finishes: AP #9 in 2018, AP#25 in 2019 and AP #19 in 2020. 1-4 vs OU. hell, he was 2-2 against Iowa State. Tom Herman had a lower conference winning % than John Mackovic and won 0 conference titles. he was fine. but if he was a good coach, he wouldn't have had to take off 2 full seasons after Texas and would have ended up at a much better program than FAU when he decided to resurface.
  3. just because i want to take the opportunity to share this every single time it ever comes up, for the rest of time. those hillbillies tried to muddy the water, talked a ton of shit...then toed the party line and voted in favor of the SEC adding Texas and OU. in the same article:
  4. it's the actual rankings in the game, is it not? this isn't some shitty listicle from yahoo sports
  5. hmmm...a guy he has a long standing relationship with, personal and professional, or a guy he has known for 3 months?
  6. Corbin was at 1.9 in 2022. Multiple other sources have him at ~$2.3 or ~$2.4 for this last season, evidently he made $2.5 in 2021? how much are assistants making these days - would say ~$2.75m for a head coach plus another say ~800k for assistants make sense (if we are talking $3.6m) - looks like Steve Rodriguez was making 375k, so i think that's reasonable for the pool? FCB has an article from 2022 showing how much some guys were making on the different sports if someone has a horns247 sub and wants to share: https://247sports.com/college/texas/longformarticle/texas-longhorns-football-salaries-behind-texas-athletics-directors-cup-success-chris-del-conte-steve-sarkisian-189776921/
  7. one would think that with their home stadium being the "hardest place to play in the country" they would win more conference games at home. over last 5 years (excluding the 2020 COVID outlier year) they 12-6 in conference at home lol if you want a real big laugh, over the same timeframe overall they are 25-7 thanks to playing such awesome teams at home like SHSU, Lamar, PV A&M, ULa-Monroe, UAB, Kent State, New Mexico, UMass and ACU.
  8. not among baseball coaches, Texas hasn't. worst conference winning% by a coach since records existed back to 1911 2nd worst overall win% by a coach at Texas since 1911 no national championships lost his first game in all 3 CWS 0-2 in Omaha in 2018, 0-2 in 2022. i think everyone can generally agree it was time to move on, especially if there is any truth to the Hurley story with folks being ready to turn in uniforms. looking forward to seeing the next coach hired. wish him the best, but it was time.
  9. you have the perfect storm w/r/t the guy no track record in Texas as a player or coach no track record or skins on the wall as a college coach no knowledge of the guy by in state recruits weird setup with DL/EDGE guys from Texas (right now, Texas has 1 RSFR DL on the team from Texas in Vasek, 1 RS SO from Texas in Bledsoe, 1 Junior in Burke) - there are 2 EEs that help but there is very little overlap between guys who are campus from Texas and who know DL recruits so hard to share that he's good or shit with them no real track record of putting dudes in the league - one guy from Western Kentucky in 2022 who has averaged <1 tackle per game as a pro, including 5 total takles in 17 games he played last year) i said it above. he's either going to be toast by december or the team will have some kind of positive results from him around development and he will be personable and a good recruiter with NIL help / Sark and the rest of the rainmakers on staff. sucks they didnt/couldn't get a better dude but he is what he is. here's hoping he kills it.
  10. i love flight tracking season
  11. Mac may be the single worst sportswriter in the state
  12. i'm probably the biggest Danny Ric fan on this board, but he is waht he is - and even then it was the correct decision. totally get it.
  13. there is a house on the PCH right next to that Dairy Queen and TK Burgers that i can't even imagine what it's worth. saw a guy out watering one morning, and i would show it on streetview but they blocked it. it's in iffy shape but it's an incredible location
  14. the space stuff is an issue in my world around names specifically. yours is a better option for probably everything else haha

    Whatcha reading?

    it's not the exact same but i saw someone in the airport this weekend reading a hard back copy of volume 1 of Caro's LBJ book, which is like 900 pages and like 3 lbs (not the 4 of Power Broker per Amazon) i did a double take, but the guy was so focused in the book he didn't see me.
  16. food recs: Sur Coffee - fantastic coffee shop that i was was local to me here in Texas. really good spot to sit and read in the morning. tried a few coffee places but always ended up coming back here. great cortado. Normita's Surf City Tacos - awesome experience, cash only place that had easily the best fish tacos i had on the trip. skip the "plate" which comes with rice and beans, just order 2 tacos instead. CASH ONLY Red O Taste of Mexico (Newport) - didn't choose this place but they had some damn good food across the board. higher end, but a really cool spot. Zero Zero 39 Pizzeria - Roman style pizza, just off near main street. Awesome spot to get a slice to go or sit. their burrata pizza was awesome. Bear Flag Fish Co - just across the PCH from the beach. pretty good fish taco but they sold a ton of poke bowls while i was there. go and get a beer, eat your taco and enjoy the view of the ocean. it's in Pacific City if that makes a difference, just past the resorts on PCH other spots that made my list but i didn't get to: RIIP Pizza and Beer - brewery with awesome detroit style pizza John's Philly Grille - known for cheesesteaks but also do hot and cold hoagies Fiesta Grill - fish tacos Sugar Shack - well known/popular breakfast spot, but line was too long
  17. mind sharing how much those ended up running you? they look sharp as hell!
  18. Orange is their natural enemy?! at this point A&M's natural enemy seems to be winning anything of value.
  19. Williams was pretty well known to be headed to OU before he even entered the portal. come on man. they are who incentivized him to enter in the first place. was also pretty clear UCLA NIL stepped up with regard to Toia look man, Texas is going to struggle with Baker until the season starts. unknown dude across the board until the season starts and they can either point to development along the DL, have existing recruits talk about how good he is to HS players (which won't happen until later anyway), or the DL starts putting up numbers. either way it is what it is and wasn't some shocking thing to the coaches. i am far from a fan of the Baker hire but he's literally going to be here until December at the earliest. if he grinds his ass off there's a good chance he ends up as a good hire. if not, he's going to get a pink slip in December/January.
  20. Texas Offense/Defense split of top 10 commits in the last few classes. highlighted Athletes and where they went 2024: 5/5 (Wardell Mack on defense) 2023: 5/5 (Jaleni McDonald on defense, Ryan ZNiblett on offense) 2022: 5/5 (Brenen Thompson on offense) 2021: 4/6 (JT Sanders on offense) *** the coaching out of position is an absolute non starter. both have history coaching DBs exclusively. Gideon's coaching history is exclusively DBs Terry Joseph's coaching history: 3 years as DB coach at ND 1 year as DB coach at UNC 3 years as DB coach for A&M 2 years as DB coach at Nebraska 2 years as DB coach at Tenn 2 years as DB coach at LaTech
  21. if folks are coming into this in the future and have a specific issue like this, your friend is: =TRIM(cell to clean here) so "=TRIM(A1)" i'm sure @Dahobbs knows this - not calling him out specifically, just dropping it in here for others in the future

    no kidding, currently at 47% on RT https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/horizon_an_american_saga_chapter_1/reviews did i mention it's a 3 hour movie, which is absolute insanity in 2024.
  23. since Imola: Checo having the same # of points as Lance Stroll and 3 points more than Yuki/PIERREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GASSSSSSSLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY 4 points more than Danny Ric/Ocon kind of says it all. edit: evidently someone (Horner?) said it's a 1+1 contract, not a 2 year deal for Checo. which makes it better.
