  1. Sorry got here late. With 8 fingers and two thumbs, I just now got home. What the chicks really liked was my Hook'em, Shocker, Mr Spock hand sign combomatic...
  2. Those first two play calls reminded me of the Ghost of Greg Davis...
  3. I hear yah. But my option has been to downsize my reels onto longer surf rods with as low as 20lb braid to get distance. One setup I have adopted that works especially well if I am trying to get out a larger bait (or farther period) is a pulley rig. Basically it allows you the put the mass of the bait and weight together for a smaller less wind resistant profile, AND then makes a shock leader that also pulls the weight up off the bottom while fighting the fish. Without having the bait fluttering creating drag on the long cast you really can gain quite a bit of distance. only difference for me is I use these clips as they are smaller, and bait slide rather than a swivel to form the pulley. I have a wire leader one I made for shark fishing that works really well and I think the bigger slide works a little better overall on the heavier leaders. Try it, I bet you will like it. And easier to lug around than a kayak. ;-)
  4. I just want to see some one step up and begin becoming their own "Longhorn Legend" today. All the roster evaporation creates opportunities for every kid this season that felt like they should have gotten more playing time. Now is a change to show what you got. Who do you guys think is going to be the kids who step up to make an impact today?
  5. This is the beginning of next year, and a sendoff to seniors as their last game day in Burnt Orange. Play like it!!!!! Have fun and kick their fucking ass! Hook'em
  6. Pomp is great, jack is bait. Wintertime is a good time to catch Pompano in the surf. Pomp is probably as good an eating fish as you can catch from the shoreline. Meat sort of reminds me of lobster texture.
  7. Yeah, I have never seen scheduling spilled milk pointed to as often in my life. If you schedule shit teams you can win most of those games. But if you play a shit team that the SEC schedules, and you lose. THAT is NOT the problem... That's why some guys prefer to not to ask out hot women. They don't want the potential disappointment. And that's just a difference in perspective. Some of us realize that you just might hear a no or two along the way to banging hot chicks. But sure things are perfect for some guys. But sure things were always boring to me....
  8. I understand that like many I have not been satisfied with play calling. But the singular reason we are not in the playoffs is we lost to Florida. And if you are honest, with the talent level we had this year how did that happen? How did we so underperform after such an amazing performance versus Ohio State? While I would love to say that is coaching, I tend to blame the players. I circled Florida as out trap game this season in the Spring. But that was before Florida imploded. They rallied to try and save Napier, as we were fucking sure that our talent would eclipse effort. Big fucking mistake. We were GROSSLY overrated going into the season. Hell what other team do you know of that has a backup QB proclaimed the Heisman front runner. Don't you need to show some shit on the field before such lofty proclamations? Hell CJ Baxter was going to be the second coming of (insert your Ricky or Earl overestimation) In the end, you can coach the shit out of kids, but if they think they are clearly more talented, sometimes (oftentimes) that expectation leads to a lack of urgency. Which opens the door to potential disaster. Taking field goals, instead of TD's is sort of the canary in the coal mine. Right now we have to figure out how to get our OL to block well for whoever is in the backfield. The yearly ability to renegotiate NIL money is something that structurally will need to change over time. But right now the end of season is like a hand of Texas Hold'em from a negotiating standpoint. And for Texas that is a good and bad thing. So when folks say something like keep "so and so at any price!" You have to understand, how upping the paycheck of some, tends to drag up the paychecks of those less worthy. And at some point, you have to decide how much money you can allocate to what positions within your budget. Or can we just decide we can pay more than any team out there at ever position and pay our third stringers Ohio State level starter pay? I like the off season coaching moves, as I think the team needed to see some accountable heads roll after underperforming. I certainly don't like losing any potential pieces of the puzzle from the player side. But it's now part of the money landscape of college football. To be honest this off season/transfer portal is probably the most critical of Sark's time at the wheel.
  9. Unfortunately, not anymore...
  10. Yeah I have been buying a ribeye roast at Randalls for well over a decade now. And last week the Ad came up, and damn the price was $8.97 in Austin, and $5.97 in Houston! That's 30% difference in price. The good news is that sometimes HEB or Randall's will do select instead of choice, but obviously choice is better. Luckily we went into Houston Saturday for a party, and I decided for 30% savings I would drive 10 minutes out of the way. Because sort of nice to see the $171 price at the $16.99/lb I would have paid at Costco, turn into $60 on my Randalls receipt! First time in a while I haven't bought a big dog roast, but only hosting a handful this Christmas, rather than the 25+ we have been hosting the last half decade. It's sort of nice... to be honest, just hosting a handful for a change. Only addition this year is going to be making homemade rolls, to pair with the glorious "blood meat" as my youngest daughter used to call rib roast. The ONLY sin you can make in cooking a rib roast is allowing it to cook past medium rare. Then... you have truly fucked up...
  11. Longhorn cheera, and Aggie Tears... ...who is to say which is sweeter?
  12. that reminds me of... and Aggie joke. Aggie is in bed having a smoke, with the gal he just banged. The he excited says, "You don't have AIDS do you?" The gal replies "Hell fucking no!" Aggie replies, "Whoo, glad to hear that! The last thing I want is that again!"
  13. Just hire folks stand in line in front of the truck. And get a few bots to give you continual great reviews. The line means exclusivity in the minds of many passers by, and thus they feel compelled to try and get a bite of this clearly in high demand product. You may be on to something here! I am sure that there used to be folks scoffing at $8 to go coffee.... 😉
  14. Yeah gold and silver have done very, very well the past year.
  15. The bad thing is we are going to get both inflation and less job creation going forward. As that is simply what tariffs do over time. Even worse... it's a problem the FED can't fix from their side of the equation.
  16. I always wonder what makes kids try to go pro a year too soon? Who is in their ear telling them a pretty decent season in college, is what NFL scouts have a difficult time finding? Did Moore make some clutch catches this year? Yep sure did. But Enough to make real bank in the NFL? Probably not, unfortunately. Then I think about two things. 1) Moore is already getting a decent check at Texas. 2) A season with a more seasoned QB a nd another year of development might get top NFL money, (If you can ball out like an NFL player in college) With NIL I understand less and less jumping a year too soon. And truly wonder which Uncle, mom, brother, sister, cousin, girlfriend, mistress, wife, MIL, SIL, BIL thinks they can get some of your NFL money, who is advising you on jumping to the NFL?
  17. You know this thread got me thinking. I may have the perfect idea. But I guess I would have to grind the cheese-its into dust and sprinkle from on high as a finishing touch. Wonder if by come miracle I could actually make this burnt orange? It's both cool and sharable! Come to think of it, since I like to eat the opponents mascot where possible, pigs in a blanket would work for next Arkansas game. I give you (not yet cheese tinted) Longhorn Pigs in a Blanket!
  18. I think you can predict when Trump makes an attack on Argentina's land! Withing days of the release of the long hidden at Trump's request Epstein files. Funny isn't it. That now the reality is that we have a President who would actually do this to distract.
  19. Yes I was. And you passed because you weren't... 😉 Cowboy boots were born from my prior wearing of Dingo boots in Jr High. But if you were cool, you had to immediately crush the square toe of the dingo boot... to make it cool... Yeah, loving the coast so much, I have mixed feelings about them. If they fit I would probably wear them occasionally. I need to find somebody with a room full of trophy mounts from canned hunts, to really appreciate them...
  20. Behind our offensive line? What were you expecting?
  21. Good luck in the future. I know you wish things would have gone differently from the health perspective. Hook'em!
  22. Our only hope now is that somebody whispers something to Trump that two of the choices of the BCS are DEI related.... I have no doubt that we are a lot more dangerous than several teams ahead of us AT THIS POINT IN TIME. AND yes the records and not the resume is the path the Committee is determined to steer College Football. All of course while denying this is the case...
  23. OOPS ... 11-1/2 D I think. I need to take some pics. I think the others were lizard. I used to love the old Tony Llamas , but moved into Luchesse more for "dress up" until they get beat up a little. Made me think back to my first pair, probably 1975?
  24. Anyone know anything about the Allens boot branded boots? I was thinking of adding some boots to my Christmas list, and just happened to see Allen's had their own brand. Anyhow likely going to Vespaio at some point this weekend and thought about seeing how they compare to the Luchesse offerings as far as comfort, and build? Whether I should even consider them at all? I just started wearing my boot again after a considerable layoff. And thinking of maybe getting some new one's to add into the rotation. What I also need to do is get rid of some of my Dad's old boots, he's got some old ones that look pretty good, but too big for me. But one is a pair of sea turtle. Not sure what to do with those...
