It kills me every time that their calls for blind allegiance to the coaches actually works. It’s hard to think of a ploy that would be received more poorly that than that by most Texas fans.
Well, most Texas fans are capable of independent thought, so that would throw a big ol' wrench into that plan.

I'm rooting hard for the league batting champions to be Hanser Alberto and Bryan Reynolds.

Watching Matt struggle with trying to kiss a girl who is literally begging him to kiss her makes me sad for him.
That dude literally has less game than I had in 7th grade, which was previously thought to be rock-bottom zero. You'd think that a guy who styles his hair like that would have more self-confidence.
Also, Clay is the biggest, most muscular pussy I've ever seen.

Wimberley is pretty awesome. Good people. Schools are decent given the size. Our kids started school there until we moved to Drip. I have one kid that's super bright and one that's special needs. We needed more resources from a school perspective and we needed to be closer to doctors / therapy in Bee Cave.
But, Wimberley was great while we were there. We lived between Wimberley and Driftwood, so we were a bit out of town. Very tight community that got tighter after the flood. It's an even better place to live if you can be near the river or have access to it. Only drawbacks that we saw were the demographics tended to be older on a per capita basis. So, while there was a decent amount of younger families, it seemed to skew towards retired couples, etc. That's been 4 years ago, however.
We went to the football game last week and I noticed that everyone in the stands was either in their 30s or their 60s-70s. Young families and retirees.

‘God woke us up and got us off that boat’: The story behind Saturday’s fire in the Vol Navy

Jeffrey Roth was standing on a dock, watching his boat simultaneously burn and sink. One of Knoxville’s fire captains stood next to him and noticed something.
“You know, you’re amazingly calm to be watching your boat go up in flames,” he said.
Roth chuckled.
“Listen, my friends got off the boat, I got off the boat, my dog got off the boat and nobody else got hurt. I haven’t lost a thing today. And I’ve had worse days,” Roth told the fire captain.
Still, Saturday wasn’t a good one. His 42-foot yacht named Chances “R” caught fire on Saturday morning, spawning immediate jokes about a bad omen for Tennessee’s season, which only intensified when Tennessee suffered a shocking upset to Georgia State hours later.
Roth, a 1988 University of Tennessee alumnus who now works as vice president of a steel company that helped build the university’s student union and Haslam School of Business, didn’t get to watch the game, but word of the loss spread quickly.
“It didn’t make us feel any better,” he said, letting out a lengthy belly laugh.
He can laugh because it’s just football and a boat.
“I lost my wife a year and a half ago to cancer,” Roth said. “So after doing that and holding her hand as she took her last breath, losing stuff just was not a big deal.”
Before Saturday, Roth had never captained a ship in the Vol Navy. The Knoxville resident purchased the yacht in March and crafted plans to do so in the Tennessee River for the Vols’ 2019 season opener.
He and his girlfriend, who lives in Chattanooga, arrived on campus a little after 4 p.m. on Friday. They had planned to meet up with friends, but for the first game, they wanted to make sure to grab a spot on the dock, rather than tie their boat up to another boat and be further from shore. That would require any friends who came on Saturday to walk across strangers’ boats just to reach them.
On Friday afternoon, they secured a coveted spot right next to the dock and welcomed another couple of friends to spend the night on Chances “R” before the season began. Joining them was Oreo, Roth’s Jack Russell terrier.

“I thought, ‘Well, that’s weird.’ I tried to restart it, but it wouldn’t start,” Roth said. “I thought, ‘Well, there’s probably something wrong with it. I’ll deal with that when we actually get up.’ ”
His girlfriend went to open the back door of the boat and let some air into the cabin to get rid of the smoke smell when she noticed the source.
“She opened the door and said, ‘The boat’s on fire,’” Roth said.
Giant plumes of smoke were billowing out of the engine well at the rear of the boat. Roth opened up the engine hatch and saw the flames immediately. He grabbed the fire extinguisher inside the boat and went to work.
“Of course, that didn’t do anything,” he said. “And then flames just rolled out from there.”
He had to make a quick decision.
“I said, ‘It’s time to abandon ship.’ I yelled at my friends who were sleeping on the boat,” Roth said.
They all put on a pair of shorts and abandoned the vessel, but a then-shirtless Roth quickly came to a sobering realization: Oreo was still on the boat. The flames were still growing, but Roth ran back on the boat and grabbed his dog before returning to the dock. Thirty seconds later, the entire rear of the boat was engulfed in flames.
“I could have gone through the walk-through windshield in the front if I’d had to, but it didn’t take long to get out of hand. When diesel fuel and fiberglass get ignited, obviously, it’s hard to put out,” he said. “I don’t know how I’d describe it, I’d just tell you God woke us up and got us off that boat.”
A fellow member of the Vol Navy eventually gave Roth a shirt. One of Tennessee’s rowing coaches arrived later that morning with flip flops for Roth and his friends, since they’d abandoned ship without time to put on shoes. Others invited them onto their boats to get out of the heat and offered them something to eat and drink.
Roth’s calamity grew from an internet punchline throughout the day to a real, meaningful bad omen after the game’s disastrous result. The Vols lost as 26-point favorites, dropping their home opener for the first time since 1983.
The aftermath. (Courtesy of Jeffrey Roth)Roth didn’t see a second of the game. He was busy dealing with the police and fire departments and the insurance company.
“We had to stay at the dock and sign every document under the sun. The police, the firemen, the cleanup crews,” he said. “We spent the whole day there.”
Crews arrived and pulled the boat out from being partially submerged under water, eventually towing it away from the dock.
Roth didn’t return to his home until 8:30 p.m. Saturday and spent the rest of the weekend enjoying his time off and counting his blessings.
The damage to the dock was minor, and the only other damage was a few gelcoat blisters to the boat on the opposite side of the dock from theirs.
Roth’s son and a friend joined him at his home Sunday night for a cookout, and they spent Monday afternoon lounging around the pool, relishing life and a day off from work.
“We were worn out,” he said. “Just a miracle. We’re living proof there’s angels among us.”

He allegedly has an infection that almost killed him, yet his medical team is allowing him to recover in a cheap hotel room? Don’t turn on the black light, Coach.
I can't decide whether he's trying to make himself into a martyr, or whether he thinks his job is that fucking important. Either way, he's wrong, and it's a really bad look.

Every time I see this I think, "Poor Isaiah Robertson." Wrong place, wrong time.
Damn, he died last December:
QuoteMABANK, Texas (AP) — Former two-time All-Pro linebacker Isiah Robertson was killed when the limousine he was driving skidded on a rain-slicked curve on a dark, rural East Texas highway and was hit by two other vehicles.
The Texas Department of Public Safety reports the crash happened about 10 p.m. Thursday on Texas Route 198 almost 6 miles north of Mabank and 50 miles southeast of Dallas. A DPS statement says the limousine Robertson, 69, was driving entered the curve at an unsafe speed for the rainy conditions. It veered off the road and skidded sideways before coming to a stop partially on the road. A pickup truck following behind hit the limo, knocking the limo into the southbound lane where it was slammed by an oncoming car.
The Los Angeles Rams drafted Robertson from Southern University in the first round of the 1971 NFL draft. He remained with the Rams through 1978, then played in 1979-82 for the Buffalo Bills.
He was named first-team All-Pro in 1973 and 1976 and was chosen for the Pro Bowl in his rookie 1971 season, as well as 1973-77.

Judging from the comments of the captain of the Grape Escape and from the comments re: the 25 bodies that have been recovered so far (stressing that the number may change as the ME examines the bodies), it seems like some of the passengers did burn.
I can only hope they passed in their sleep...
I tend think that being on fire would wake most people up.

Corndog is a derogatory term used by rival fans to describe LSU fans/students/alumni. I have no idea why. Perhaps some of our LSU visitors can elighten us.
Because they fucking smell like corn dogs. Even when they haven't eaten corn dogs. When your diet is 95% fried foods, you start to smell like a fried food apparently.
-
Serious question: Which of the following two scenarios would aggy actually prefer.
1. A&M beats Clemson and UT beats LSU
--or--
2. Clemson beats A&M and LSU beats UT.
I'm seriously starting to think they'd prefer 2.

Did we ever determine what sized population is small town?
Population is such a nebulous measure with how they draw borders that it's a worthless number. What qualifies something as a small town has more to do with the characteristics of the town.
Necessary conditions for "small town":
1. Can't have more than one public high school. This disqualifies Boerne.
2. Single public high school must be below largest classification if it draws only from that town. This disqualifies San Marcos.

Any additional thoughts on Wimberley? We’re in Austin (78757), but the wife and I have been looking out that way. Both of us grew up here, but we’re getting tired of it. We have a 2 yr old, so schools will soon be important.
You could have bought my old house if you had acted more quickly.
