Deadass like 5 years after high school we found out our DARE officer was arrested for selling drugs.
Talk about a great cover but terrible marketing and sales strategy.

Definitely rooting for Vanderbilt here. But I probably won’t watch. I just don’t want to look at any more people from Mississippi on TV.
I don't know man. They had us outnumbered 6:1 on the babes in the crowd count.

Anybody wanting to fire Pierce is being an emotional woman. None of ya know the bigger plan or who he doesn't trust in the clutch.
If we had won, we would have done it with a doubled hit count. That's not going to get it done.
I'm cheering for Vandy. I'm sick of pretenders who think they can put the horns down in our face. Very few teams can get away with that shit.

My daughter applied for Teach For America and on the question about ranking where she'd like to do the work, her reply on the application was "Place of Highest Need", thinking she'd wind up in an inner city school of somewhere like Los Angeles or Detroit. Nope, she got accepted and sent straight to the place of highest need - the Mississippi Delta.
Teaching 3rd grade there, she got punched twice and stabbed once by students. Her whole class got to witness one of their classmate's dads get murdered in front of the school at pick-up by another student's father.
You have to be able to pass a statewide reading exam in the 3rd grade there or you can't advance. She had a 13 year old, several 12 YOs and a bunch of 11s and 10s. I flew in directly once to visit her in the shithole tiny town she was in before her stint was over and spent half the day in the class with her kids. These people are flat out fucked for life. There's not a single redeeming thing about that state's rigged school system. "Attendance" is legitimately one of the main goals of the public system there by 6th grade, so it seems apropos for a school name.
My daughter's class had 90+% of the kids pass the exam in each of her two years, and she's nuts, so she volunteered for a 3rd year mentoring stint and did the same. I couldn't fathom staying there for any stretch, much less 3 years.
Tell your daughter that we thank her for her service.

What was your reaction when Ricky was busted by the NFL for smoking weed?

It's sad that nothing surprises me anymore. I still love sports and college football most of all, but it just isn't the same as when I was young and blissfully ignorant. To hell with Bo and all on his side and prayers for the victims. May they be taken seriously and not harassed for speaking up.

Abmas isn't getting a lot of NBA love. My bets on him
That would be incredible. Dude's a scoring machine.

We've done a good (potentially great) job at filling our biggest position group needs of edge rusher and linebacker. Also, roster limits set a cap on how many transfers you can pursue and Sark clearly had a priority and I don't think we missed in many players we went hard for. I haven't gone through the top 50 list, but are there many we should have tried harder to get?

With mother's day this weekend, there must be something creative that Longhorn Nation can due to rally around Ms. Ehlinger.

I mean, I hope he gets his head on straight somewhere. But it's for the best all around it's not at UT.
Some people don't think it be like that but it do.

It's a speed training technique that has been around a few years. The guys above have explained it well enough, but I just want to point out that it is rare for track sprinters to do it. Interpret that however you want.

Yikes that tattoo looks awful.
I think I can tell what he is going for with the tattoo, but it is only half a verse as well. “nor will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or 'There!' for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you."”

i HATE the concept of keeping eyes on the QB while trying to relate to routes and changing coverages based on route combinations. I think that philosophy is what leads to busted coverage more often than not. IMHO, the DBs should check QB at snap, if his hands are up, go to your reads, but if his hands are down, keep eyes in the backfield to determine if its run or PA. Its almost impossible to relate to routes and change responsibilities while looking in the backfield the whole time...
I'm sure he teaches the appropriate nuances and exceptions.

I hate to re-hash the discussion around our out of touch takes on the new entrance music, but we need to atleast slice in the first 20 seconds of this song.

I for one am totally on board the NB train and I have only been a dad for 14 months. They are making some kick ass stuff these days and are second only to Asics in quality.

It really does make the stadium feel so much bigger at field level. That silly longhorn head has really grown on me, too.
Arial shots show that this addition is still much shorter than the rest of the stadium, but the vertical design of it all is very imposing. I can't wait to see it finished and in HD for a night game.

I thought I'd read on here that Louisiana had lost their leading rusher. Or was that Arky?
