  1. Just mentioned on the Matt Wells thread. I get it if he goes.  But I don't think he will have a significant drop of at UTSA if he stays. Recruiting and talent in the area are there

    . They will compete and be a solid program if Traylor decides to stay for a little longer and waits for something better. That's my hope at least.

  2. Guys, I was torn  up this afternoon. I had to coach from 9 AM until 2 PM and I managed to miss all game updates. Got home to finish the UT game at 5:30 PM and I was crushed. But UTSA just made my night.  Go Roadrunners. These kids just get after it.  And I'm going to enjoy Traylor while we have him.

  3. Snapped a cool photo prior to the start of the tournament on Saturday morning. We had 2 tanks going outside and 2 inside. My girls team was able to have a friendly scrimmage with Rocky Mountain Neptune out of Bolder on Friday night. Really strong team.

  4. Catching up on College Football after coaching 12 Water Polo games this weekend. I got home during the 3rd Quarter last night and got to see the exciting finish. Great start for UTSA! 

  5. Welcome to Texas Shootout coming to San Antonio. Labor Day Weekend.  Initially this was supposed to happen Memorial Day weekend, which would have brought in more teams. As it stands, close to 50 teams coming to play. September 4th and 5th at NISD Aquatic Center on 1604. 

     

  6. By the way... this thread is responsible for fucking up my Intermittent Fasting attempt. I was good for about 7 days, saw the Taco House Nachos while about to fall asleep ( why I clicked on Food and Travel, I don't know), and suddenly got motivated to slice up some Tillamook and carefully arrange on a platter of chips.... with Jalapenos. 

    Thanks Cajun.  I will remain "stocky" for a while

  7. Thought I would post again since some of you have been able to take in some Water Polo during the Olympics.

    As I mentioned earlier, this sport has been taking off in Texas, and will grow even more in the next year.  

    This was a crazy summer for a new Water Polo Club. We put our club together last August in Boerne since Comal had few restrictions, and we train at an outdoor pool. Club quickly grew from about 20 kids to 65 in May.  Most of the kids drive in from San Antonio.

    I was able to take 3 teams to National Junior Olympics last week in Dallas. An 18U Boys team, a 16U Boys team, and a 16U girls team. There were close to 200 teams spread out across North Dallas. I was driving from Southlake, to Lewisville, to Garland every day. It was a beat down, but really fun. My kids got to play against teams from Oregon, Washington, Northern Illinois,  Hawaii, St. Louis, Connecticut, and Florida. 

    Some of the more established clubs from Texas finished on top of the standings (Thunder from Dallas and Viper Pigeons from Houston stood out). 

    Texas will be turning out some of the best Water Polo players in the country soon.  It's going to happen.

    Team Handball, whether men’s or women’s, is a really fun watch.  It’s totally a Euro thing but would love to start training the US yewts in it.  Most of our main sports other than soccer are continentally grown. But man, it’s a cool sport. 

    I've had several Exchange Students with no water polo experience, but who played team handball in Europe or Brazil come in and pick up water polo quickly.

    Am just waking up from a nap and didn’t read the hashtags below the tweets. I was going to ask who this girl was, but realized I could look it up myself.

    So it feels a little inappropriate that everyone is going nuts over a 17 year-old breaststroking girl…

    …but then I was wondering…who the breaststroking girl was/is in the green cap?
