Jordan Shipley - Texas Athletics Hall of Honor
Prayers for young Mr. Shipley. For those of us who are unsure about prayer in general: Once you dig into it, I believe you find that you can pray, and it does work... and it doesn't require any specific deity or any supernatural entity. What it actually requires is imagination. That probably sounds screwy, but hear me out. I'm not sure I've ever met anyone who didn't worry about some things or something. It seems to be a purely natural "ability"... we pretty much all do it. When you break it down, it consists of little more than thinking about something bad happening... that is, imagining the bad whatever will come to be. That is the key here: imagination. Prayer is exactly the same as Worry, with one small, but hugely powerful difference. Where Worry consists of imagining something bad happening, Prayer is imagining something good happening. You don't need to specify how, just what. That's all there is to it. And just as Worry hangs around and pops up, from seemingly nowhere, just under your conscious thoughts, Prayer does exactly the same. You don't have to work at it, just plant that thought about good things amd let your imagination go.

I was wondering if anyone would catch that. I just couldn't bring myself to write "green", forgot to go back and change Baylor to 0U, and when I noticed it was too late to edit. Didn't look like anyone gave a fuck, so I didn't bother to mention. Obviously the portal fuckery has made most all of surly forget about Meatchicken... other than most of their OL seemingly interested in getting the hell out of Ann Arbor... Psych!!

"Third and a long 3 to go... just outside the Baylor 30... Cotten under center... the snap... turns left... hands it to Ramirez... off tackle he dives... powers down to the 27 where he nestles in a nest of red jerseys... and the chains move... first down Longhorns!" Names, not numbers - it was radio, man, we didn't care about the numbers we couldn't see. You're right, it was like being there. One of my uncles, who was on retainer to Humble and regularly got in the press box, told me Kern would arrive a bit before kickoff, hang his jacket on the back of his chair, unbuckle his belt, undo the top button on his pants, put a paper bag on the table and take out two bottles of whisky, one for himself and one for everyone else, take a big hit out of his, light and set, pull up the mic and start talking.

2026 Texas Coaching/ Support Staff Thread
There's a 67% likelihood Gideon hires him, after he takes over as DC, after Boom takes over as HC, after Sark takes over as Dolphins' HC. Situation is fluid.

It's your own fault. Clearly, from your keystroking, you have soft hands. Glory in it, don't reject it.

2026 Orange Bowl - Oregon vs. Texas Tech
Still seeing some bitching about JMU and Tulane... The plan was always to get 10 of the top fifteen or so, plus a couple of feel-good patsies, so it's not really about them. Even without us, half the rest of the damned field was SEC already. The only way in for us was dropping Bama out, which was not politically possible, or maybe 0U, but they beat Bama.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
A good pick for Boom's HC?
