  1. Early 80’s. Made the jump to 1-AA right after they won their last national title in D2 in 1982. That was also Jim Wacker’s last year at SWT.
  2. Your second paragraph is great observation. Of course the big money donors voices are still heard, but they and a clueless BOR and Admin are not micromanaging the ship like they did in they did under Deloss and certainly in the period between Deloss and Del Conte. CDC was given a standing order to do what he needed to do to right the ship not only with the football program, but others too.
  3. All of this! This is why I’m a Sark fan. You can read into this interview as well as others he is humbled to be the Head Coach of the University of Texas and he’s not taking it for granted. He wants to be a generational type coach much like Saban and he has every tool at his disposal to do this. Most of us who are around Sarks age have been through the dumps or might be currently going through them like I am with the layoff thing. Then something happens and maybe unexpectedly on the good side to get you out of that situation and with time you look back and see where you where you were at and where you are now and don’t want to go back to that low point. Sark has a good thing going in Austin and doesn’t want to go back.
  4. Yep. To think some of us have seen Texas State grow from a DII school to now a member of what was or is a power conference (don’t know if they still have that status?). Crazy how much things have changed in San Marcos.
  5. U of H Victoria to become aggy-Victoria on Sept 1. https://www.swineweb.com/latest-swine-news/texas-am-victoria-joins-am-system-with-25m-boost-eyes-agribusiness-expansion/
  6. Meanwhile in Oklahoma last night.
  7. What was that all about?
  8. I heard the family was at odds, but this really filled in the details or at least some them. Certainly there is more I bet Hopefully this doesn’t end horribly.
  9. I’m not a cruise fan after doing a few in the Caribbean/Mexico. BUT I would make an exception for doing a Mediterranean and Scandinavia cruise in the future. Upside with those two destinations is you make stops at Ports almost everyday save maybe one for a “day at sea”. And the ship will arrive early and leave late due to the proximity of the next Port or even overnight. This gives you ample time to explore on your own vs taking packaged excursions.
  10. B&B was acquired by Duraflame in 2021. That might be the answer. But HEB to the rescue. I’ve used the Mesquite version and it burns nicely https://www.heb.com/product-detail/central-market-oak-lump-charcoal/1633408
  11. Has to be Pig. Two choke jobs for them vs one for aggy.
  12. This thread went Surly. From Men’s Volleyball to Chicken nuggets. Never mind the UIL did nothing to revert back to old split division playoff format for football so those of us in 5A and below can get rid of some of these ridiculous district set ups Please hurry up football season.
  13. This is the first 787 to go down in the thirteen years it’s been operational. Which is remarkable considering the scrutiny both the 787 and 737 Max have received. But this might be due to the fact many of long haul flights are using older Boeing models or Airbus.
  14. I’m waiting for aggy and the rest of the SEC media parrots to come out of the wood work who were taking shots at us for not moving this game to prime time on Sunday night.
  15. Mike White needs to come down and recruit at the now 3 time Class 4A champion. I mean Reese went to neighboring school and our rival, so we can’t be too bad.
  16. Does this help jumpstart the conversation on fast tracking renovations for the stadium?
  17. I like this Ump…so far
  18. My Calallen Wildcats just won their fourth baseball title. Longhorn girls better not piss me off later. That is all.
