UTRGV commits to add FCS football by 2024
Special shout-out to this guy, who joined the UTRGV program as a day 1 walk on and worked his way up the depth chart to get some carries in the opener, and scored a touchdown late in the game.

I think they were the covid year champs. They also made it to the semis in 2022. But yeah a lot of their fans online think they are over the hill now.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Arch played terrible and was pretty clearly overrated, but it’d be hard not to be at that level of hype. 2 things that give me hope: that Livingstone TD pass, and his final play where we came up short on 4th down (seriously). Unblocked rusher, play was completely dead, but Arch fought his arm free and still completed an accurate throw while being dragged down. That’s a playmaker type of play.

TCU @ UNC - 7 pm central ESPN
I’m amazed that people thought Belichick was a great or even good coach. Was outright horrible without Brady, while Brady went out and won without him easily. Almost all of his assistants turned out to be terrible HCs. Nothing else needs to be said.

So in week one, North Shore got dominated by SOC and Dickinson beat Katy for the first time ever. Hmm.

Salter is one of those QBs that’s way too proud to take easy rushing yards

2025 game Week 1, #1 Texas @ #3 Ohio State - What the Fuck is a Buckeye?
Wouldn’t expect much out of Livingstone or my Sanchez INT pipe dream honestly. Michigan laid the formula down the past few years, to beat Ohio State you run it into their teeth and then run it again and again until they submit. Is Sark smart/confident enough to try that this time? I don’t know that we had the personnel or matchups last year for it but I think we do now.

2025 game Week 1, #1 Texas @ #3 Ohio State - What the Fuck is a Buckeye?
I’m not predicting anything, but I *feel* like we are going to overwhelm them. They have arguably the best overall college player this season in Smith but for the first time in a long time the rest of the team is lacking. He can’t do it alone. I also kind of hope Devin Sanchez gets an (inconsequential) pick at somepoint, I’ve followed his career a while and it would be cool to see him announce himself in such a big game. Hopefully Arch can toss it all over the field besides that though.

2025 MLB thread
Remember when the PGA tour thought they could ignore LIV? This is the exact same thing, and the MLB would be wise to explore some collaboration or partnership imo.

SA scores of note: Johnson - 45 Judson - 7 Johnson is legit but the dismal tide continues for Judson, staring down the barrel of an unthinkable 5th straight losing season. Laredo Alexander - 48 SA Marshall - 14 Priest Holmes weeps.

PSJA North was missing their starting QB and still beat San Benito 49-14.

2025 Texas High School Football
No offense but MMA had a rep in town while I was growing up of just being a school for fuck ups from rich families. It seems to have shaken that nowadays but yeah the days of 19 and 20 year olds on their roster are long gone. A couple years ago the Harlingen JV beat the MMA varsity squad. I don’t even think MMA has a JV team anymore.

We can only dream. I think we’ll be salty the 2 years after this one, but it’ll be a slog this season.

2025 Texas High School Football
TX High school football kicks off today, meaning it’s Helobious Poll time: 1. PSJA North - Fully operational valley death star. They don’t rebuild anymore they just reload, with abnormal size and speed for an RGV team. They appear to have built up an efficient youth and middle school football recruiting operation as well, conveniently getting a lot of talented kids ready to play as freshmen. 2. Los Fresnos - Returning a 4 year starter and Mexican Michael Vick at QB in Robert Piñeda, they’ve got offensive firepower to hang with a lot of teams. Gave Buda Johnson all they could handle in a close playoff loss last year. 3. Edinburg Vela - The sun is setting on the Vela empire, but this time I mean it. Solid team returning, but they’re replacing a QB as well. Defense should be stout. 4. Weslaco - added sophomore transfer Malachi Rodriguez from rival East high. He’ll add to their mix of offensive weapons alongside Chris Luna. 5. Brownsville Vets - Need to replace a really good QB, but should have a great defensive unit. Also gave NB Canyon all they could handle in a 3 point playoff loss last year. Darkhouse: McAllen HS. They’ve got decent size up front and some playmakers, they could be an unfun team to play come postseason.

Mass Shootings
I actually watched his manifesto video. The guy was apparently trans, wanted to kill trump, was obsessed with guns, obsessed with mass shooters, praised far-right politician Brandon Herrera, and had multiple anti-Semitic and racist things written on his weapons and cartridges, including “6 million wasn’t enough”. Definitely an ideological wild card. Above all you could tell he was an edgelord that viewed himself as really cool and funny.

Look at his stats and tell me to my face he was a great college QB.

Ehlinger’s game-ending pick in OT vs Oklahoma state his freshman year is still the worst throw I have ever seen a QB make given the circumstance.

Spurs 2025 Off Season Thread - Popping Off
I was under the impression the project would build a new arena and a bar district surrounding it, I didn’t know it included the Alamodome and convention center. I actually don’t see the final four as a big loss because it’s too sporadic to make a lasting impact, but losing the annual events would hurt quick. I’d still like to see an independent study done and the spurs to hold up their end of the deal. I’m not as dead set against it as I was before.

Spurs 2025 Off Season Thread - Popping Off
You can argue about it being a cultural loss for sure. A loss for the city’s bottom line? Very hard to imagine.
