  1. Yep. That was my least favorite trip to Austin. Didn't really hit until we got home late last night. My wife handled it surprisingly well. My autistic 13 year-old, not so much.
  2. Love your kids folks. One day you're living in Knoxville, TN trying to get your kid to love your alma mater over his mother's (Vols). Next thing you know, you've dropped him off at Texas and come home to an extremely quiet house. I know it'll pass, but right now I'm all, "I should have pushed for UTD" (5 miles away).
  3. Dolly admirer and Vol grad wife not amused.
  4. I think he may have been missing his #1 receiver. At least I think that's what I heard before changing the channel in the 3rd qtr.🤬
  5. The absolute most telling thing about this chart - #61. Look at it aggy. See if you can figure it out.
  6. Speaking of. In Scipio's latest version of his Texas football mag - at least I think it's Scipio - he states that some dude did a study in 2020 where college fans were polled about their biggest rival. I believe Texas was the response for 9; the next closest 3. I'm wracking my brain. What are the 9? aggy arky - LSU? Tech - should be aggy Baylor Houston TCU - should be SMU
  7. I've never watched a single second of BB. That being said, it's rare that I know anything about the contestants anyway. I'll still watch for the beauty of the show.
  8. 100% with you. Per loyalty, I'll always support the Cowboys, but I try not to do anything that assists the Jones family in any manner.
  9. Tennessee now claims 6 as well. The entire time I lived in Knox, I never heard anyone claim more than the '51 and '98 championships. I noticed it on the stadium wall the year my family and I moved back to Texas in 2017. This would have been at the spring game.
  10. So last year, the TN AD raised season ticket prices by 10% for a "talent fee". This year, it's going up 4% more. They're squeezing the shit out of the fans up there to be able to compete in NIL. What I thought was interesting was the following list of cheapest season tickets in the SEC (including contribution fee): University of South Carolina: $560 University of Alabama: $500 University of Texas: $465 Louisiana State University: $360
  11. Atkinson had a slight ankle injury. Nothing serious. Apparently, Grayson is the 8th ranked team in GA. The team they destroyed, without Atkinson and two other defensive starters, was 10th.
  12. Scrolling through, wondering when The Great Outdoors would pop up It buzzed me.
  13. I get soccer can be a fluky sport at times. The high school girls team I coached almost beat one of the best teams in the state one year because they shanked like 20 shots. Score should have been 8-0. It was 2-1. In my defense, I had exactly one club player on my team against a team who had 3rd string club players. That being said, how in the holy hell do you give up 3 goals, at home, to NW State? They shouldn't have had 3 decent shots, much less goals. I thought CDC was going to get rid of this trash last year.
  14. Kelly's old school, TN, is kicking the shit out of #1 UNC right now.
  15. Lulz. My soon-to-be-Longhorn freshman saw this for the first time when he was about 11. Took him to see Texas play aggy in basketball in Ft Worth. (I can't recall why the game was there.). Anyway, the dumbass ags pulled this weird crap and he said, "What is this shit?". That's the only time I've ever heard him curse.
  16. This biased poll crap is so aggy. Yes, ESPN contacted all of the coaches and writers to implore them to over rank Texas for ......... Um, ratings or something?
  17. Kind of weird. My wife attended TN when Peyton was QB; my son begins his college career at Texas in 2 weeks w/ Arch as the QB. I think TN not having a viable QB is kind of funny considering almost every one of them called the Nico/Aguilar trade a win. @texifornia hit the nail on the head. Most of the SEC grads are actually pretty cool. In not having a plethora of professional sports in the SE, a lot of folks tied themselves to the state college team. Those are the fuckwads.
  18. I lol every time at this one. Perfect casting for a cat lady.
  19. From what I recall in having attended Vol tailgates and games for 10+ years... Georgia fans were the worst. South Carolina fans were, by far, the best. Vol fans are pretty cool UNLESS you mention Texas. They are somehow absolutely obsessed with the "real UT" thing. Which is weird, because I never, not once, thought about them until I moved to Knoxville. Kentucky football fans - kind of cool. KY basketball fans, not so much. Florida fans were pretty cool if only for the fact that they drove my Vol friends crazy. I was up there when the Gators beat TN just about every year. I don't recall much about the MIssissippi teams. I'll give them a pass due to Kiffin and Leach. I'm not sure I ever met a Vandy fan. That's Nate Bargatze's school/team, so they're cool in my book. Arky fans were terrible. You know it's bad when Vol fans are making fun of the "hillbillies". Almost forgot. Aggy did play there before they joined the SEC. It was funny because I warned my Vol friends about them, and they didn't disappoint. Effing idiots walking up and down The Strip, wearing those stupid ass overalls, yelling and whooping. My friends were all, "Ok, we'll root for the Longhorns after this."
  20. He's probably met my SIL. Adult Disney fanatic. Has been on at least 15 vacations since moving nearby in 2017. Every, single one to a Disney park somewhere in the World. She's neither married nor does she have any kids. To borrow a Gaffigan line, "Even the Comicon people are a little frightened by her."
  21. Lulz. Vol coaching staff blurring out the QBs in videos where they throw INTs. https://www.on3.com/college/tennessee-volunteers/news/tennessee-football-posts-practice-highlight-but-blurs-out-qb-who-threw-int/
  22. .125 How was n the holy hell does this guy even get put on a major league roster? And it's the effing DH. There's nobody in the minors that can just come up and hit, say, .200? I don't get it
