    They have Florida, Ole Miss, Bama, and Arky with only Halloween to break it up. Which game do we think does O in? 

    I think it'll be the Ole Miss game if they really stink it up in Oxford.  Most of the folks here have already penciled in the Florida & Alabama games in as losses.  And LSU really hates losing to Ole Miss, so I think a bad game on national TV just might make them publicly pull the trigger on O

    Marching band played "Eyes of Texas" under the Tower today to celebrate Hartzell's official "inauguration" (was gonna happen last year but there was a flu going around).  Anyway, everybody of all colors stood and sang it.  It was nice to see considering some of the people in the crowd were the ones stirring the pot to get it banned.  

    And then back in the South Mall, there were a few dozen protestors.  I thought it was about the song, nope...pretty much people are moving on from it as an issue.  They were there protesting Gov. Abbott (since most of his Regents were in attendance).  No CR...but you could tell it was an "astro-turf" campaign, a few students but mostly folks around my age (maybe slightly younger).  And all the protest signs were the same size poster-board with the same size/colors of marker going the copy.  

    Anyway, seeing people of political persuasions today having no issue at all with the song being performed literally a few feet in front of them...I think this is a done issue.  If some players don't want to participate, as long as they are being respectful to those around them in their passive stance...who gives a shit?  This is a fucking done deal as far as almost everyone is concerned.  These guys put their health and lives on the line for our program, if they want to take a knee or not move their lips to a corny song, so be it.  The real fights are yet to come. 

    Hey @Lobo  Thanks for the info.  During Hartzell's speech yesterday he referenced the What Starts Here Campaign slated to launch spring 2022.  Any inside scoop as to the fundraising goal?  Assuming we are in the quiet period right now - any info on how much has been raised to date?

    So aggy brought their own longhorn stickers just to be able to be place them upside down on the longhorn logo on the racebib.

    That's just such bullshit.  Typical for them, but bullshit nonetheless.  Why would we invite them to participate in the Relays when they act like that - let them sit their asses at home this weekend.

  4. Congratulations to the guys - hell of a run!  Look forward to a run a great seasons with the youth of the current team.  Not been too shabby of a year for the men - top 10 in football, 2nd place in swimming & golf and 1st in tennis.  T&F coach was a great hire and I expect them to be back to top 10 status very soon.  If we can just get basketball & baseball performing, we should have top 10 teams across the board.

  6. I just got notified by the IRS that someone has used my SS to gain employment.  Put a fraud alert in place with all 3 credit bureaus and had them check for inquiries - but nothing unusual has showed up yet.  Went to go see the SSA to see if there had been any other earnings except mine reporting in and then said no, BUT 2018 SSA payments don't get reported to them until taxes are filed.  I thought that was a little odd - I had just assumed that as SS was withheld from checks, that it dropped into 'my account' and was trackable in real time with SSA....but apparently not.

    Now I'm going back to the IRS to see if I can get them to tell me the name and company of the person using my SS#.  Probably won't have much luck, but am at least going to try - and maybe see if my Congressman can help.

    I'd like to file a police report and contact this guys company directly to let them know what's going on.  Is there anything else I should be doing?

    They put slippery rock’s score on the godzillatron at least once this year.

    I've always wished that they'd bring Slippery Rock in to play a game at DKR one weekend when Texas was off.  I think that'd be a blast.
