  1. 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.
  2. Literally LOL'ing at "old lady" book of checks! Holy shit this is hilarious.
  3. This hits close to home because I dedicated my first $10 to the hand job couple at the UTEP game.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Good. More quality along the front 6-7. He seems pretty quick with a big frame and plenty of room to grow.
  8. 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.
  9. Just saw this week old tweet. De La Torre seems to be hinting at something here...
  10. The image of him standing in the fog covered stadium is mega badass. The whole family together is even better. Hook 'em!
  11. and some years, you really need to scoop up the best three or four tight ends from the Waco-Temple corridor.
  12. Dylan Spencer highlights. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/14858032/6007bf5e066b570428618649
  13. 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!
  14. 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
  15. The extremely rare Pomona to Texas football career path. Herman must be tapping into his old SCIAC connections.
  16. nm - repeated a joke someone already made
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. This full season video is exactly the type of late winter Kool Aid I didn't know I needed. The effortless 50 yard bombs, the head up while dodging defenders like the Matrix. Good lord this kid is badass. During the HS all star games and in the offseason, there have been little video snippets of Milroe in passing drills and in those videos it looks like the ball springs out of his hand. You can practically hear the whirring of the ball traveling through air. 3 QBs in a two year span doesn't get much better than JQJ, Card, and St. Milroe. He is his own player -- polished and expert command like 90% of the time but with a high capacity for pulling off the wildass wtf play the other 10% -- but I'll admit there is that one clip of him dropping back and seeing the hole open up, and in that moment when he digs in and tilts his body forward to run, yes, I see the resemblance -- something about the anticipation in that moment, thinking to yourself, fuck yeah, he's about to carve them up with his feet.
  20. Collins to Texas. Can't say I started my day expecting to watch a live twitter feed of a high school pep rally, but here we are!
  21. Losing Collins to Baylor would be quite the canary in the coal mine.
  22. Ryan kicked the shit out of WM. It was 28 or 35-0 after one quarter. WM looked demoralized and lacking any idea or confidence on offense. It was a massacre. Bowman was practically running routes against air. Yet, despite his team getting whooped the entire game, into the 4th quarter Jordan continued blocking with energy and was beating up his guy whenever he had an opportunity. I like him and it's terrible that all this shit is happening. I am happy to read that she's getting top notch care.
  23. Where is Demarco Cobbs when you need him?
  24. Look at the stadium on a map. Find the east-west stretch of W Berry St., about 3/5 mile south of the Stadium. Just south of Berry there is a neighborhood where you should be able to find free street parking. Last time I was there (it's been a while -- 2013), we parked about two blocks south of Berry on Alton Road. It's possible parking rules have changed since then. I'm sorry I don't have any advice about fun game day kid stuff. Wanted to add that if you decide to try parking in that south-of-Berry neighborhood, instead of exiting at University and approaching campus that way, it's probably easier to take I-30 to the Hulen exit (which is a little bit west of campus) and then track back east on Berry.
