  1. 2:30 to be exact (for the next three days)
  2. i can confirm this. Report 8/2, camp starts 8/3. Scrimmages 8/13 and 8/20. Fan appreciation 8/16 (night practice).
  3. M: Rock sinks boat L: Michael? M: Mom, I'm right in the middle of something. [turns to Gob] Get rid of The Seaward. L: I'll leave when I'm good and ready.
  4. I don't really have much to say. I've never heard anything regarding Matharu as a bad fit or looking to get out (unlike Lattimore and Kobe). My guess is that it is a more straight forward situation where she wants more certain playing time than Texas can guarantee.
  5. obviously proof of a dominant defense.
  6. season 5 is next.
  7. Just to be clear, I was speaking in generalities. I did not intend to comment on Harmon and any possibility of Hurst transferring. I know nothing on that front. I was just chiming in to say that romantic relationships are and have been a reality on the team. There is no need to go into specifics. I agree such dynamics are fraught with danger for reasons similar to workplace romances. Handling those dynamics is a reality of coaching - especially coaching college athletes. In addition to NIL becoming a bigger force, learning how to manage behind the scenes drama is almost as important as X's and O's. Vic seems to handle that side of things well by having a tough culture (and you see players shuffle through who are not culture fits). White, on the other hand, seemed totally caught off guard and the drama absolutely tanked the season until their backs were against the wall and the focus went back to winning. Hopefully he learned some things this season, because what happened last season can't happen again.
  8. I agree it is a difficult dynamic. I imagine Vic would prefer that dynamic not be present. But it is very much a dynamic and not something Vic is stopping.
  9. confirmation x2
  10. Hossler's wikipedia entry is, uh, interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beau_Hossler
  11. I passed it driving south on 35 about an hour ago, sitting on a flatbed trailer on the blocked off feeder road. There was some damage to the front near the propeller, but the rest of it looked pretty intact.
  12. they do not get physicals on their visits.
  13. there is no way the nutrition for AFA baseball is better than the nutrition for Texas baseball.
  14. thoughts on Dave Brock? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Brock_(American_football)
  15. to continue with the good vibes, about an hour before the game, when AF was starting to warm up, CJ Dornak was walking by the left field stands. He had thrown the last few innings in the afternoon game. There was a kid with a glove in the stands, so Dornak struck up a conversation and started playing catch with the kid. Soon, every kid with a glove made a beeline to the section and before long, Dornak was playing catch with about 10-15 kids. He was chatting them up and being real friendly. Some of the kids were trying to show off their arms and were absolutely gunning it at him point blank, and he just made jokes about how he was only a pitcher and not a fielder and was lucky to catch such fast throws. He kept at it for maybe 20 minutes or so. When he finally had to go he came up with some trivia question for the kids and the one who got it right got to keep the ball. As he walked off the adults in the section gave him a huge ovation, and you could see him get a little emotional. Stuff like this is why I love baseball. AF is a class act team.
  16. BOOOOMMMMMMM
