Texas Roster 2026
We hear so much about a lack of loyalty from the players today, but consider this scenario for the players who aren't the stars: You're a scholarship player who has everything handled for you by the school including tuition, class schedules, tutors, stipends, swag, meals, health care, practice schedules, trainers, housing, and everything else. You've haven't had much playing time, but the coaches had promised that your time was coming, and that you just had to keep grinding. Now, you've been at the school for one or two years and you get called into a meeting with an graduate assistant and someone from HR. During this meeting, you are informed that your role on the team has pretty much ended, and you should really consider going into the portal and catching on at another school. You're assumed everything was fine and you're in shock. School was never your thing and you have no idea where you even stand academically. They give you forms to sign, and direct you to the portal website, show you how to register, and tell you that you should reach out to this person who might help you for a fee. They also inform you that once you sign, all those perks and help you've received will no longer be available to you. You can't use the facilities, but worse, you don't have anyone to help you navigate this confusing process. You enter your name but you see that there are hundreds of other players who play your position already registered. You tell them you need time to review the paperwork. They tell you you have 24 hours to review it. You try to call your position coach, but he doesn't answer. You call your parents, who are really upset, and they also try, but also get no response. You reach out to your high school coach and ask him to help you, and he promises to help. You try to force your way into the head coach's office. After all, didn't he tell you his door was always open for you? Today, it's closed. Finally, desperate, you reach out to that booster who 'helped you out last year when things were tough.' He doesn't answer. Now you have a complete understanding of big-time college athletics.

I'm someone w deep NYC ties and spend time there each year, to visit our younger daughter, see friends and have fun. Two years ago, I brought one of my work partners so she could experience the city. Her husband is a super MAGA head and was worried about her safety. We walked the whole city, (Met, Central Park, HiLine, West Village, Soho, NOMAD, Shopping on Upper Madison Ave, pilgrimage to Pete's Tavern, Upper East Side, etc). I took her on the subway many times, and we had an amazing trip. When she got home, he was genuinely shocked from her description about how safe, walkable, clean and fun Manhattan is. Funniest moment is when we boarded an uptown subway car at Wall Street and it was full of maybe 70 NYPD police who had been in Brooklyn for some event. I said, "So are you feeling unsafe?" She smiled and said, "no, I'm good."- Mamdani's Mamdate
Jessica S. Tisch is the current NYC police commissioner. She was appointed by Mayor Adams in Sept, 2024. Interestingly, Mandami asked her to stay in and continue in her role. Many thought he would fire her and put in one of his people. She is from the very wealthy Tisch family that owns the Loews Corporation. So she doesn't have deep ties to Mandami but is now partnering with him. His control over the NYPD is not great.- Dallas Cowboys 2026 Offseason Thread: All in for one more win
"My goal in life is to retire as the owner that won the most Super Bowls," Jones said during an end-of-season news conference Wednesday. "That's my goal. To be retired in the NFL as the owner that won the most Super Bowls. We've got three. How many more do I have to go as a single owner? [New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft] has got how many? Six? So, I got work to do. Got work to do. But at least I'm up to the second rung in the ladder." The Cowboys just completed their 30th season since winning their last Super Bowl, finishing a disappointing 7-9-1 in Brian Schottenheimer's first year as head coach. The Cowboys are the only team in the NFC not to have made it to a conference title game since 1995, and they have missed the playoffs the past two seasons. 😆- Texas Roster 2026

Just like when everyone wanted Mac Brown fired and his agent 'revealed' that Nebraska was interested in hiring him. Riiight.- Parker Livingstone
Don't you dare drop crap here about Johntay. His journey is still incomplete. He had everything in his grasp, but let it slip through his fingers. Leave him uncovered by this. He's trying his best to catch on somewhere else.- Tell Me About Texas a&m
I’ve reworked the final rankings based on playoff performance: University of Miami Texas A&M University Flagship Campus at College Station University of Oregon Indiana University ‘Ole Miss East Texas A&M at Commerce Ohio State University University of Alabama Texas A&M University Corpus Christi Texas Tech University University of Oklahoma TIE: Texas A&M University Kingville TIE: Tarleton State University BYU Notre Dame texas university Sip Lesbian Campus- Parker Livingstone
Big 12 representing well in the transfer portal. Penn State picked up the Iowa State QB. (Matt Campbell is their coach, so duh) Indiana picked up the TCU QB. They also picked up a K State edge rusher. Texas Tech picked up the Cincinnati QB LSU supposedly trying to sign Arizona State QB, so Texas may have to face him again next year OSU had 59 players enter the portal. Yes, you read that right.- NFL Black Monday, 2026
Really dumb and really epically funny, hahaha. Hats off to the dude, lol.- NFL Black Monday, 2026
This thread always reminds me of an email chain that got two girls fired at the Austin ad company I worked at. We had a big layoff (2008) and two young account executive gals kept a running tab of who got hit. Someone else saw the email chain and was bothered at their lack of empathy (guess they were making jokes about people on the list), they shared it with management and the girls got axed. Can you imagine calling your parents and telling them that you fired for this, haha? We also had another funny one. We had the Southwest account and one of the account girls went ballistic at the airport to an employee at the counter when they didn't give her the trip credit. (Southwest didn't give us the miles, cause we billed them for our travel.) The Southwest employee complained, and Southwest called up the agency about her. Fired, haha.- Parker Livingstone
Sorry. Drinking leftover red wine from my nephew’s rehearsal dinner at our house. Insane amount of work. Glad that’s over.- Parker Livingstone

I agree w this post about the portal being a total crapshoot. You might get Joe Burrow, or you might get Nico Lamaleava. That is what is concerning about the Auburn WR. However, I never heard or read anything negative about Bond while he was at Texas. His injury is what derailed him and he tried to play through it. I spent some time with him and he was incredibly nice, and extremely grateful for what he has achieved in life and was giving back. He screwed himself AFTER he graduated w that sexual assault case. What did you hear?- Parker Livingstone
I have absolutely no idea. He has recently whined about the lack of professionalism from player's agents, claiming many have no accreditation or understanding of the process whatsoever. I did see an interesting TikTok created by a female volleyball player. She said it was unnerving how the minute she placed herself into the portal, she was instantly cut off from all university services such as gyms, weight rooms, health services, trainers, tutors, advisors, etc. I wonder if athletes understand that.- Parker Livingstone
College athletes were thrilled when the portal became a thing, and it has paid off for many. However, what is interesting (and slightly funny) is that so many assumed it was all upside, except for two little icky things: 1: Leaving for more playing time/money is great...if you can find a better situation. For every Joe Burrow story, there are two Tate Martells. 2: Players can come in and replace YOU- Parker Livingstone
What if it's sirloin but it's Wagyu sirloin?- Parker Livingstone
Keep it up. You're making a difference! #youmatter- Parker Livingstone
Guess not everyone can be as tough as you on the anonymous message board.- Parker Livingstone
Perhaps the best description of Surly Horns ever written. Could possibly be the tagline.- Parker Livingstone
I honestly hope that this is where you get your frustrations out, and that you don't take them out on your wife.- Parker Livingstone
This 100%. Each season we get the usual verbal diarrhea from the 9.95 crowd about why this year’s recruit class is the best ever, yet so many of them seemingly disappear and never sniff the field. I guess the 9.95s understand what their audience wants to hear.- Parker Livingstone
I am not sure but if so, that’s awesome. I do know when I watched him vs Penn State have an incredible game, I was amazed to learn he was the backup! He played cause the starter was hurt. That’s some freaking great coaching and effort on his part.- Parker Livingstone
Well, one thing we can be sure of, and that is EVERY coach always thinks they are the one who can coach someone up. - Mamdani's Mamdate
