  1. Reggie Bush got his taken away for free. At least Ricky cashed out. And his name will always be in the actual books.
  2. You may be right, and obviously we're hoping you're not, but I also hope La. Tech comes to play Week 1 and throws the ball a bunch to put these guys to the fire early. I won't mind giving up 21-28 in a comfortable win (and to an experienced QB/offense) if it means we get the young corners some experience against a Big 12 style wide-open offense. I know LSU is supposed to have revamped their O or whatever but we can't count on them to actually open it up with Burrow. And Rice, well......
  3. Well it appears that back in your day people may have actually believed when they prayed to, Christ. Guess what? That day has been replaced by a populace that worships their false idols (and that's not even partisan). And these here false idols in politics worship the only almighty, the dollar. And with that comes the worship of the NRA and the fueling of a racist fire, all because that's what's their base wants to hear (and that's how to get donations) and that's what will get them re-elected. Whether they believe in the racism or not. That's secondary to the dollar. Asking for more prayer in schools is a nice little gesture or whatever, but your God has been replaced by what they really worship these days, and it's not holiness.
  4. Yeah I have "CreditWise" through CapitalOne. And we all get 1 free report yearly. But Equifax's option has a price tag on it so it must be "worth" more apparently....
  5. Pretty sure the total settlement will just be divided, so everybody is getting .94 cent checks. Their stupid claim that credit monitoring is "worth" more really pisses me off too. Fucking scammers. There isn't a finite amount of "credit monitors" that affect the supply/demand of credit monitoring, the worth is just what those crooks judge it to be worth. Basically what people will pay for it. And plenty of people don't (and won't choose the option), because it's being monitored by the company who already fucked up security in the first place. I'm sure it's already been posted, I started on page 3, but I read yesterday that the "3rd party" vendor that they refer all the credit monitoring option people to still has to pay Equifax to access the credit reports for each person. Equifax is still making back a small percentage of every person that passes on the $125 and opts for monitoring. Aside from the fact that the worth of the monitoring is made up bullshit.
  6. If the only position battles this summer are going to be listed as "Player 1 OR Player 2" then your stupid ass article isn't a projection, it's a rehash of what we've heard all summer.
  7. Not sure if he's more important than LBs, but I am placing a pretty heavy bet on him providing some strong production. I have high hopes. And almost as high hope that Wilbon will break out just some of how Chris Nelson did as a Senior. Having a strong interior line can make a huge difference in football, and our defenses with Poona, Hassan, Malcom, and to a lesser degree Nelson last year, were all so much better for it. I just looked up the Big 12 championship game last night to remind myself how we lost that game, and I forgot about Kris Boyd's 3 penalties (2 face mask and 1 interference I think) in the first half. He also saved a TD (that if IIRC they were only in position bc of his mistakes anyway), but I could do without his boom or bust play and would love Cook and Green to bring us back to just a solid, high-level floor with some big play ability. I don't even care if they only pick off only one or two passes each this year, just be solid. And don't get me started on Breckyn Hager. There's no damn way Graham isn't at LEAST matching the production a senior Hager brought last year.
  8. Agree with pretty much everything in the og post. This is also one of my shameless pleasure shows. If it's on I'm likely stopping by for an episode if I'm just flipping channels. Remini is definitely my style, and yeah that chemistry is kinda odd, but her and Kevin James really have it. They writers seemed willing to give a lot of the supporting cast some shine too. I vaguely remember some episodes revolving around Stiller/Dog-Walker, Stiller/Deacon, Kevin James/Deacon, etc. There's enough shenanigans to go around.
  9. This is really cool. I loved that he called it the 1st annual too. If he has his breakout season this year I think he'll find a way to give out way more than 300 next year.
  10. And the proper response is "Goddammit you assholes, I'm a dumbass, delete thread, ban user..." but I still haven't seen that. That would defeat the real purpose of the thread.
  11. Went to try Kerlin's BBQ yesterday for lunch and was disappointed. Brisket was 5.5/10, kinda dry. Peppery rub was good, bark was good, but dry? C'mon mann..... Sausage Kolache was off the charts though, I did enjoy that, 9/10. Hopefully I caught them on a bad day, I've seen it recommended a couple times for good BBQ on the east side without the wait of Franklin or even La BBQ, but I'd gladly wait for LA if this is the alternative on Cesar Chavez.
  12. "Consistently good" is pretty much why I kept going back to Black's & Smitty's. LCM seemed to be a notch above that earlier this month, I enjoyed it. Related: I went to a BBQ festival in Tyler in May that was pretty damn great, Pinkerton's, Snow's, Leroy & Lewis, Brotherton's were all there (every booth made a sample-sized entree and sides, some had desserts. I thought many were great, but by far the only booth with a "line" was Black's BBQ. Every other booth had maybe 3-4 people waiting at most, Black's had 15-20. There was tons of booths and it wasn't completely packed, so it wasn't bc of a lack of options or anything. They definitely have achieved a legend status at this point, even if I don't see how they're necessarily better than any of the other spots that I listed.
  13. Look here you sonsabitches, this is all about me but it wouldn't be about me if I didn't make it about you all making it about me making it about you making it about me.
  14. Last Wednesday I got a chance to try City Market in Luling and I was impressed. I had heard some rumblings about quality decreasing, but the brisket was solid and sausage was good. I'd give it a 7.5/10 overall. The ribs were probably the low point, maybe a 6/10 pork rib, not tons of meat on them, and nothing really stood out. I usually try to take the "back roads" to the RGV when I drive from Austin, which means I've made a lot of stops at either Black's or Smitty's in Lockhart, but City Market earned itself a spot in the rotation.
  15. I will walk over to Sanchez and punch every man in a graduate COE class right now. Just in case this is a shenanigan.
  16. "It's basically a CBS show with a few more curses per minute."
  17. That's definitely the only way an aggy is getting laid in Austin.
  18. When was the last time we won an off-season? Why are we comparing the way that PATFO works to the rest of the league? We're not ever going to win an off-season through free agency because nobody wants to live in San Antonio. Morriss left bc he had an easy decision to make to live somewhere better than San Antonio. Why is that PATFOs fault?
  19. Am I in the minority in not really caring that we lost Bertans? He was unplayable in the playoffs for two years and I agree it's not PATFOs fault we lost Morris.
  20. As far as I've read it appears many media outlets are mischaracterizing this as a scholarship, not necessarily UT. It's not a scholarship by any means, and won't be classified as a scholarship through UT's financial aid office because there are no scholarship funds. They will be grant funds (funds not based on merit, just need) added to whatever Federal/State grant funds are already awarded to cover the full tuition cost.
  21. Pssst ...... https://financialaid.tamu.edu/Aggie-Assurance I was pretty sure I heard about this at aggy years ago. And I'm pretty sure I heard about a similar program at Texas State first. I'm surprised nobody's brought this up yet in the public, but we're not exactly ahead of anything or breaking new ground here. It's a very low-risk program on a school's part. They can count heavily on Pell & Texas grant to cover a LOT of these promised funds.
  22. This thread and a thread on someone asking about moving to Austin have really opened my eyes to who posts on this board. Y'all muhfuckas rich as shit. "Can I really be expected to live somewhere around Austin with a meager $150,000 income between my wife and I who don't have kids yet but plan to soon?" If you don't get the f on....
  23. I'm happy this is happening, glad to see the University make a commitment to the poors (which I would've benefitted from when I attended), but it's not a full scholarship. Most (or at least a big portion) of these families making under $60k will be receiving some form of financial aid from the Federal or State governments already. The Pell grant is usually $5500 a year, and Texas grants are pretty sizeable (the state's income-based assistance), so UT is just offering gap coverage to cover whatever (if any) is needed to reach the tuition amount. For the poorest among these families, UT will be covering very little. Other universities already had programs like this in place. I thought it was a cool idea until you actually read it and realize the universities are just offering gap coverage. And as I'm sure many of us on this board that actually spent time on the 40 acres can attest, tuition is probably not even half of the total cost of attendance.
  24. Yes, we will get another commitment before the end of the recruiting cycle, probably.
