    Following his press conference at the Texas High School Coaches Association Convention & Coaching School in Houston last week, Drayton was asked by Horns247’s Jeff Howe that when the dust settles on the 2020 cycle if he feels the Longhorns will land a running back who can make the pro-spread offense go. “Absolutely,” Drayton said. “There’s enough in this state, obviously across this country where we will find a system fit. We will find a system-fit back.”

    Well what the fuck do you think he's going to say??!?  "No, we're not going to land a running back that fits our offense because I'm going to fuck up running back recruiting for the second straight year."  $9.95 well spent on this report.

    “It wasn’t football for Zachary,” Sterling said. “It’s really still not. He’s really good at it, but football is just not him. He don’t watch football. He don’t talk about football. None of that. I won’t say it’s not something he doesn’t want to do, because of course he wants to do it. But he just wasn’t attracted to it. It just didn’t catch his attention.”

    So he doesn't hate to lose. 

    Pass.

    So, an Italian Iranian guy was referencing a book popular with white nationalists. Was he also blowing folks for meth?

    Careful, imamac gives people a time out for bringing that up about Iconoclast whenever his Magic 8-ball tells him to.

    2015 ALDS Game 4: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/HOU/HOU201510120.shtml

    Highest expected win % of 98% in bottom of the 7th inning. McCullers gets the leadoff out in the 7th but then proceeds to hit Salvador Perez which triggers Hinch to panic and puts in Will Harris who had been amazing all year but was starting to wear down having blown up game 2 already.  He gets out of the inning but then in the 8th inning he proceeds to give up 4 straight hits.  Hinch brings in Sipp who lets all 3 of the inherited runners in because of the Correa error.  This all of course happened after Abbot's infamous tweet congratulating the Astros on getting to the ALCS.

    Worst day in this state's baseball history.  I had a class that finished at 3pm.  At about 2:30, I checked scores on my phone for the last time and the Astros led 6-2.  By the time the Astros' game was over, the Rangers were down something like 7-0.

    Boomerz in South Austin. Rolled in @ 12am one night after leaving downtown. 

    Some dude comes up to me and my buddy and says “see all those people over there.” It looked like some preppy college kids had come to visit. “They’re all on heroin. This is where they come for it.”

    WTF GTFO

    No fucking way.  A friend of mine's band used to play there.  There was nothing wrong with that place.

  6. So Ian Kennedy has 20 saves?  With his 20-win season back in 2011 (?), that makes him the 8th pitcher with a 20-save season and a 20-win season.  Recent pitchers: Smoltz, Eck, and Derek Lowe.

    If they had even a bit of stability and coaching competence, this whole thing would have been wrapped up long ago and he'd have been happily committed to LA's second-best institution of higher learning.

     

    Excuse me?

    CalTech >>> Harvey Mudd/Claremont >>>> UCLA >>>>> U$C

    If we're doing greater LA, could also throw Irvine and possibly Pepperdine in there, too.

    My 7th grader decided 3 years ago she’s going to college in Canada. Instead of that idea fading, it’s only intensified. Looking into it a quite a bit, I’m really behind that idea. Cost wise, it’s very affordable. I technically already have 3 years of tuition, room and board already saved. In 6 years, I’d easily be able to cover undergrad and grad in Canada with her college fund. I like that you don’t spend 30+ hours on bullshit classes. If you’re an engineering major, you take 15 hours of engineering as a first semester freshman. Your English requirement would be done in a class like Technical Writing for Engineering that applies directly to your major.

     

    So does she want to be a Mountie or a hockey player?

    I was going to tell you just check the official roster if/when he gets added, but when I went to check, it looks like they removed that feature. They used to have an "ear" icon next to difficult or ambiguous names on the roster. Click the icon and an audio file played with the correct pronunciation. Don't know if this feature is permanently removed or perhaps may come back once the season is under way.

    Thanks, great post.

    After hearing Ohio State was the one to beat for Tucson (Ariz.) Salpointe Catholic five-star running back Bijan Robinson, I now like Texas's chances to land the blue-chipper heading into his August decision. Bucknuts247 insider Bill Kurelic was first to report that he didn't believe Robinson would end up in Columbus on Sunday morning. I have confirmed that report.

    Witfong has confirmed that Bill Kurelic was the first to report that Bill Kurelic didn't believe Robinson would end up in Columbus?

    Writing is hard.
