  1. The WR who picked a fight with a tennis player, right?
  2. You know how hit and miss it can be in the smaller towns like Vancouver.
  3. Hook 'em. Flood
  4. Checking in to thank everyone who contributed over the last year or so, and especially the last week or so. Another golden thread in the Surly/Shaggy pantheon.
  5. 5% of the time, this thread is the greatest place in the universe.
  6. So we made a good impression with Stroh, big whoop. It's 15 minutes til kickoff and yet no one has answered this question: Did the three hottest chicks in our grade seal the deal or what?
  7. I am so happy for this dude. He spent the better part of 24 months undergoing surgeries and rehabbing. His post game interview on LHN was great. He couldn't stop smiling.
  8. Literally LOL'ing at "old lady" book of checks! Holy shit this is hilarious.
  9. This hits close to home because I dedicated my first $10 to the hand job couple at the UTEP game.
  10. Don't know about Kerry specifically, but twitter informed me that with 9 minutes left in the third quarter, Mater Dei is up 31-3. Beating the shit out of Duncanville.
  11. Dominate the LOS, win games.
  12. Subscribed and promoting the subculture of lurkers who support Burnt Ends. Really looking forward to the "fuck yeah!" sense of satisfaction whenever a TE hauls in a TD.
  13. Wow. The previous 18 transfers, I think most WV fans could live with, but losing Guzman is the cherry on top. That one's gonna sting.
  14. Good. More quality along the front 6-7. He seems pretty quick with a big frame and plenty of room to grow.
  15. This thread had me rolling, especially last week when the news transformed from rumor to near certainty. Thanks to all who added to this thing. I don't think I've laughed so much in a single thread with the exception of the Statues Behind the Co-Op.
  16. Just saw this week old tweet. De La Torre seems to be hinting at something here...
  17. The image of him standing in the fog covered stadium is mega badass. The whole family together is even better. Hook 'em!
  18. and some years, you really need to scoop up the best three or four tight ends from the Waco-Temple corridor.
  19. Dylan Spencer highlights. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/14858032/6007bf5e066b570428618649
  20. Hook 'em. For a slim WR under six feet tall, that dude sure does catch a lot of jump balls and break a lot of tackles. He plays tough and fast. Love it. Merry Keithmas!
  21. Holy smokes. Thanks for pointing him out. Those highlights are something else. Wow. Here's an article about first year football badass Chris Marshall from FB Marshall HS: https://www.wholehogsports.com/news/2021/jan/14/hardwood-gridiron-marshall-loads-offers/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
  22. The extremely rare Pomona to Texas football career path. Herman must be tapping into his old SCIAC connections.
  23. nm - repeated a joke someone already made
  24. FWIW, a few weeks ago Carrington retweeted Mukuba's post about his ACT score: 30. Probably serious about playing school in addition to playing football. Maybe Texas replicates the pitch that convinced Hayden Connor to commit. Adjusting for position coach, of course.
  25. In the one clip I described when Milroe sees the waters parting and in an instant his body tilts forward, yes, that reminded me of Vince Young. Something about that moment of decision and the immediate body tilt forward. It reminded me of the game winner, Titans at Houston Texans, and He had the long walk off touchdown run. I don't know QBs well enough outside of Texas/Big 12 (honestly, I don't know football all that well, period.). Who possesses the same surgical aptitude, the precision missile arm strength and the dangerous wheels? Was Tua this good against comparable competition? I'll go with Tua or maybe Case McCoy.
