  1. If Card's first read isn't wide ass open his 1995 Pentium processor overloads and goes caput.
  2. This is straight up go-go stuff right here . A lot of the passing out of mesh concepts we saw against Bama and UTSA as well as the the 31 personnel we ran to start off against Bama that was called back with Roshon was Go-Go stuff.
  3. Davey is an absolute gem.
  4. I guess he just recently decided to make the move to Montverde. He was at John Paul II in Plano through last season. I'm glad Tre Johnson has decided to stay at Lake Highlands at least for the upcoming season.
  5. He doesn't come on until 5 o'clock or so this afternoon. .
  6. I quibble with the now in that sentence. Bob had been Aggie for awhile now. Even before his daughter ever considered going there he routinely went to Aggie games with a family friend. He complained one time about having to leave a game early because of "Suegra". On top of all that, I can barely remember BaD Radio going to Austin yet they made multiple trips to College Station, all at the behest of Bob.
  7. No, Nob's been saying Jimbo's offense is suspect for awhile now. He quit texags because he couldn't take the heat when Aggies started rebuffing his criticism of Jimbo's 1985 offense.
  8. Beat me to it.
  9. This was pretty illuminating.
  10. Nobody could go on and on about petty bullshit to near the extent that Mack could.
  11. I'm pretty sure Mack said something about it back in the day.
  12. Damn, I hate this.
  13. Yeah I know I've mentioned Matt Hill coaching in the NBA a number of times. I believe there may have been a time when both Ivey and Hill were on the same staff.
  14. Great interview. And CJ Stroud gained a fan as well.
  15. There weren't a lot of Americans making it to European leagues in the 90s. Outside of Alexi Lalas and a goalie here or there I can't think of any American soccer players who played in Europe during the 90s or even prior to Landon Donovan.
  16. While googling where in the world Ahmad Brooks is now I came across stuff about him being in the ODP (Olympic development program) beginning as a 14 year old. Apparently Ahmad was a top 50 soccer player as a youngster. Read an article where he discusses how close he came to quitting football prior to his junior year of high school. Ahmad Brooks attended and graduated from Abilene High in Abilene, Texas. Ahmad was a dual sport athlete, participating in both football and soccer. I had heard a story that Ahmad was considering walking away from the game of football to concentrate on his soccer career. Ahmad's football coach at the time, Steve Warren, was a big reason for him not doing so. I asked Ahmad if he would share his memory of the day he walked into Coach Warren's office to break the news that he was quitting the football team. "Most people don't know this about me, but I was 10 times better at soccer than I was at football and I'm proud to say that. I was on the National team, I was All-State as a Freshman, All-Regionial, and first team at that. At the age of 14 I was traveling around the world playing soccer and I remember my first trip abroad, we went to Costa Rica. In this third-world country, the kids playing with soccer balls that were so used that the leather shell was completely worn off of them, the painted goals on the street, it really impacted my life." "That sport was much more goalable than football and in hind sight it is. It's the most popular sport in the world and at my size, 5'7" and 135 pounds at the time, it made no sense to continue playing football." "So I walked into Coach Warren's office with all intentions of me quitting. I let him know that I wanted to concentrate on soccer, he knew how good I was at the sport, and I didn't feel like I was getting the recognition that I deserved in football. I was playing QB at the time and I knew that I would never play Quarterback in college. You have to keep in mind this is right before my Junior year of high school, I was traveling with the top 50 soccer players in the world earlier that year, so I knew I had a future in the sport of soccer." "I walked into Coach Warren's office right before spring ball to inform him that I would be quiting, the whole time coach was shaking his head. About that time he reached under his desk and pulled out about 50 letters from big Division I schools in the country for football. I remember starting to cry, it was a very emotional moment. Coach Warren was my DB's coach the year before and now my Head Coach, so it was an accomplishment for both of us." https://bleacherreport.com/articles/785478-a-lifetime-longhorn-a-look-back-at-ahmad-brooks-the-original-lifetime-longhorn.
  17. Let's be serious though, how many color commentators are lauded for being great. Most of them get trashed or ignored. Every now and then someone like Klatt or maybe Herbstreit back in the day will get some accolades thrown their way, but like a google review most discussion concerning broadcast teams lean towards negativity.
  18. This forum is littered with threads of former players getting bashed up and down it. Casey's thread isn't an isolated case.
  19. I mean there are usually only 2 or 3 LHN games all year so it's understandable that people overlooked his absence, but it's funny to continually watch people talk about him as if he's still doing something he hasn't done in 3 years.
  20. Nope it was just Acho. It was just Acho and Galindo last year as well. And the year before that it was Andre Ware and Galindo. Brooks hasn't done an LHN broadcast since at least 2019. He was doing ESPNU games with Adam Amin, but I don't think he's doing that anymore either.
  21. There's nothing Longhorn fans like to do more than hate former Longhorn players.
  22. Ahmad hasn't done an LHN game in a couple of years. I realize this thread was started a few years back, but you'd think by now people would notice Ahmad isn't on the call anymore.
  23. An under discussed aspect of Stephen seizing more and more control of the Cowboys is he seems to be cheap as fuck. Prior to Dak signing his new contract and that year under the franchise tag the Cowboys spent among the lowest in the league in payroll over a 2 or 3 season period. And now after a 1 or 2 year hiatus from being amongst the lowest level payrolls in the league they are right back to being near the bottom again. I'm certain someone could work up a plausible defense using Romo's contract still being on the books during Dak's first few years and other extenuating circumstances to explain away the lower tier payroll, but it's still something I'd pay attention to in the future while Stephen is running things.
  24. Bingo!!! Pearl, Clinton, Madison, Brandon, are all over 55% with all but Clinton being over 70% white. And you'd be surprised by Florida's racial history.
  25. Well the Hardline kinda stole Klatt from Bad Radio/The Hangzone.
