Sounds like it was a hell of a gash!

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again

The daughter is a nun, and their son is a gay state trooper. Okay, but does it have a twist? Sure. They're all practicing snake handlers! -
Honest question for ACC: Why? I mean, the Ags removed Agricultural & Mechanical from their name many decades ago, so now the A and the M stand for nothing...

Sounds more like he was a hairy-handed gent who ran amok in Kent.

I was at that game, and I don't remember there being SEC chants at all. Now, I'm not saying it didn't happen, as it was a long time ago and I was plenty drunk that night - but the whole atmosphere in the Superdome and way the game unfolded remains crystal clear in my mind (and make no mistake, it was glorious!). I remember the "Geeeeee-nooooo" chants building steam and taking over the crowd as the game went on and Toretta bumbled and crumbled under the Bama D. And by the end of the game the dome echoed in Roll Tide chants. Besides being there and not remembering SEC chants, it also would have made no sense. Miami was in the freaking Big East! Nobody was talking up the strength of the Big East - it was all about Miami's historic rise and dominance in spite of their weak ass conference, not because of it. The game wasn't billed as a chance for the SEC to prove they could hang with the Big East, haha! Bama was Bama. They transcended their conference - even after falling off the map for awhile, they were still a legendary program, and those were the days way before conference pride became a thing.

Haha, yeah. During the broadcast the announcers emphasized how he had been coached to "just throw the ball away" if he gets in trouble. Hawkins clearly bought into that lesson. It was funny how in multiple instnces when a comeback was the only hope they had, he stuck to just throwing the ball away - even on the last drive and last freaking play when you would think they'd, I dunno, be willing to throw the kitchen sink at getting a touchdown on the board.

I'll chime in with my daughter's success story about transferring in to UT this Fall. She was a Lake Travis kid who took as many AP, UT On-Ramps, and ACC Dual Credit classes as possible, and all it took was one or two Bs in those advanced classes to drop her class rank to Top 11%. Her SAT was mid 1300s. Outstanding extracurriculars. I cautioned her that acceptance into UT was a longshot, and sure enough, she did not get accepted. She got Cap'd, but was dead set against that pathway since the curriculum is fixed, and she felt like she would be wasting a year re-taking classes she already took. She ended up going to her safety school, TCU. Interestingly, she got deferred then denied at Georgia, but got accepted to UC Irvine. For reasons I won't get into because it would venture into the cloak room, her mom (my ex wife) "wouldn't let her" go to UC Irvine, even though it is on par with or arguably a better school than UT. Long story, much angst, but as a 17-yr old my daughter was just not gonna rebel against her mom's wishes. Her freshman year at TCU was a fine experience, but a cake-walk. Truly, the classes were a joke even though she was in mostly upper division courses, and her classmates were lets just say not real academically oriented. She got 4.0s both semesters without trying, and said it was like her brain had been on a gap-year. She applied to the UT school of liberal arts as a transfer student for admission this Fall and was initially denied (probably because of all of the Cap students filling spots). But, she appealed the decision based on "new and relevant information" (namely, her 2nd semester 4.0 grades at TCU, which weren't factored in to the initial transfer app). Her appeal was successful - she got in to UT! She's now a happy UT sophomore, loving every second of the experience, and said the academic rigors are like night and day compared to TCU. Kids should keep in mind that with a little patience and diligence, the transfer pathway to UT is feasible.
