  1. Spring ball was a good thing before most schools began moving up start dates to the first or second week of August. Back in my day when school started the last week of August or even the day after Labor Day in some ISD’s, schools that had Spring Ball had up to three weeks of two a days. We could get some good reps including scrimmages before our first game without distractions. Now they don’t have anything that comes close to resembling the grid of two a days thanks to the UIL. They might get in a week of practice without school interfering and with that maybe a couple of true two a day practices.
  2. To borrow from the legend known as Bill from Sinton We just need to focus and we got this
  3. I watched episode two last night. There has been so much false hopes and stuff with this case now for three decades and some change I forgot about some of the details like the arrest of the three Mexican dudes. I might have missed that part but did they note the motives of the Mexican authorities in setting up them up for a false confessions? This just seemed wild but I can see where it was a theory that was easily believable at the time because that was when cartel activity kind or ramped up and started making headlines outside of Mexico
  4. That’s a good question. Excuse me while I focus on that wonderful pic of the BBQ.
  5. Pinche Wal Mart trying to copy HEB.
  6. Print the cups and T-Shirts!
  7. It won’t be too long. They will get upset by Auburn and that will be a back to back loss because they will lose to Norte Dame. Unless they lose a close one to Norte Dame, then aggy will assign blame to ESPN for humping Norte Dame.
  8. Calzada was supposed to be the second coming of Bucky Richardson.
  9. Two a days ( or what is left of them) started for most that didn't have Spring ball on Monday. On a related off season note. The state championships just might leave Jerry World after this fall.
  10. Pooooor aggy. No one respects them.
  11. The Brisket Beans are pretty damn good. HEB needs to sell these in their fresh prepared meal section at the stores that don’t have the Texas True BBQ.
  12. Correct about OU. After the dorm/rape/drug scandals did in Switzer, the fact they spent the balance of the 90's in the crapper going thru four coaching changes was a just punishment in lieu of the death penalty.
  13. That era was wild and kept the NCAA compliance office busy and often with bullshit violations like a coach gave a player a quarter to use the pay phone type of stuff. I figured after watching the SMU 30/30 special “Pony Excess” that A&M was more in arms race with SMU than we were which was set off by losing Eric Dickerson the way they did. If there were two other schools in that era that deserved the death penalty, it was aggy and OU. Both should thank their lucky stars SMU got it first and the backlash kept them from pulling that trigger ever again.
  14. We need some “Bill from Sinton” focusness on a few key spots. But it’s going to be another great season!
  15. Passenger on Denver flight to Miami describes "loud boom" when plane's landing gear malfunctions before takeoff https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/denver-miami-flight-evacuation-passenger-interview/
  16. We had one down in McAllen back in the 80’s when I was kid. I liked their chicken fried steaks more than their fried chicken although that was good too especially compared to the crap you find today at fried chicken places although I haven’t been to a Popeyes or KFC in ages so imagine it’s still crap. If I recall it did have a distinctive smell too and a pleasant one.
  17. Exactly. They are looking at numbers only. I’ll make a Texas high school comparison. This is like taking a transfer RGV QB with big numbers and assuming he’s going to the same in the Duncanville, Galena Park or Westlake district. Competition matters.
  18. I don’t understand the hype for Mateer. He played for a team in that was without a real conference and lost to football powers New Mexico and Wyoming.
  19. They have Iowa’s O line ranked #6. lol.
