    No one has mentioned Sarks mentor. Norm Chow was a genius in his day. I for one cannot wait to see the offense unleashed.

    No one has mentioned my personal mentor, either.  Leslie Chow

  2. I watched the North Shore / Westlake game - I seriously thought Westlake had no chance coming in.  Westlake's D was legit, and Klubnik made the plays to win.  My hat's off to those guys. 

    As a Rice alum, I'm also stoked to see Michael Taaffe play for the Owls (I heard he was committed, but 247 doesn't say "committed").  Since my Highland Park Scots have already been eliminated, I'll cheer for the Chaps.

    Holy shit.  I'm not kidding in any way - I dated that girl for a year back in the early 2000s.  She's now divorced from that dude.   I would note that she's definitely in the crazy zone of the hot/crazy matrix.  Some fun times, but time hasn't treated her well, unfortunately.

    Sorry - but that's on you. Ensuring everyone has a good passport before booking a trip to Mexico definitely a male responsibility. I beleive you have just discovered why.

  5.  Christmas was going great. Have a baller trip with my wife and daughters to Punta Mita, leaving on Monday. Then about an hour ago my wife realized the kids’ passports are expired. Fml.

  6. In a battle of undefeated teams, North Shore is up 38-0 over Pearland Dawson in the 3rd quarter.  Wow.  I figured NS would win, but not like this.  Dawson beat some good teams this year and won a stout district with Shadow Creek, Pearland and Dickinson.

    Whoops, forgot to look at 5A-6A.

    There are a couple of Hollywood-type matchups that will be routs -- Trinity-Midland Lee and Permian-SLC -- but these are what look like the best games:

    Cy-Fair @ Tompkins -- Everyone in Houston usually points to Cy-Fair when they talk defense, but Tompkins has only allowed 78 points in 9 games.  

    SA Brennan-Vela -- Sounds crazy, but the winner of this one might be the favorite in that shitty region.

    Cedar Park- Richmond Foster -- CP has put up huge numbers this season on offense, and Foster looks down compared to previous years

    Klein Cain-Westfield -- maybe the most evenly-matched game on this list.

    Rockwall-Desoto -- A lot of points will be scored in this one.  Rockwall's only loss was to HP; Desoto's loss was to CH.

    North Shore-Dawson -- These teams are combined 21-0, but no one's going to be shocked if NS blows it out, including me, as I watched some of Dawson's game last week and wasn't real impressed.  

    Westlake-Smithson Valley -- Westlake will shut them down, but the MILF-viewing will be top notch.

    Timberview-Ennis -- T'view is 10-1 with a loss to Aledo, but Ennis might be even better than Aledo.

    Lancaster-Longview -- Lancaster is undefeated and has outscored opponents 587-50, but that says more about their schedule; don't be surprised to see the Lobos win this.  

    Azle@Lubbock Coronado -- Staring to closely at the scoreboard may result in blindness.  Trust me on this.  Winner will score 70+.

     

     

    The Rockwall/Desoto game should be great - I'll take Desoto.

    Katy Tompkins is a team I'm really interested in.  Undefeated, and St Milroe and Tunmise took down Big Red (Katy)....but should they win vs Cy Fair, they're staring at North Shore next.

    cliffs so far for today

    Ohio State $9.95er claims Urban isn't coming (via Trace, UM's former agent), but wrongly states that Trace is UM's current agent

    "RapGameLarry" (can't believe I'm citing this unimpeachable source) claiming UM is coming

    Fecal talk not going away

  9. One point to consider on the "full control" point.  (humblebrag alert)  I've spent a healthy amount of one on one time with Jay H, including sitting through a full Texas football game with him, and my impression of him is that he's not a control guy at all.  I don't think giving "control" to UM will be a concern with him, at least.

    Played football at another SWC school back in the day. Had a buddy that went to Rice.  When folks talk about how smart those folks are, it is no joke.  Rocket surgeon types. Most of them working on dual majors like chemistry and physics at the same time.  Anywho, one spring break I was on my way down to pick him up so we could venture on to South Padre way. He had his college throw me a little soiree.  It got wild.  There was a keg and heavy metal music blaring in the quad for many hours and before you knew it just about the whole school had showed up.  The football team eventually showed up(and had me a little nervous because I was outnumbered by a substantial margin.  But they ended up being cool and loved it that there was a football player from another school there partying with them. I remember the distinct feeling that they thought of themselves as outcasts for playing football at a school like Rice.  But I digress)  Ended up with everyone dragging all their furniture out of the dorm rooms and into their little quad area where it was subsequently smashed into kindling. I think calls of "bonfire" were heard before cooler heads prevailed.  I remember then doing a very drunken tunnel exploration (they have steam tunnels under the entire campus) before we all went back and crashed on mattresses on the floor as all the beds, desks, couches, etc had been destroyed. Next day we left for Padre. On a side note, they have the highest endowment per capita of any  university in the U.S.

    Rice undergrad alum here (Texas MBA, hence why I'm on this board).  Some of the biggest nerds you'll ever encounter, but there's a surprising amount of entertaining fuckery that goes on as a student there.  "Baker 13" (co-ed running naked around campus once a month), Night of Decadence (halloween party where you wear as little as possible....one dude arrived in a snickers wrapper around his crank one year...but kind of worth if for the 2-3 decently hot women who show up), over the top binge drinking due to students who have no idea how to drink, etc.   It's also located in the middle of Houston, which offers truly any and all kinds of degeneracy you could want - ie taking football recruits to the "anything goes" all-nude strip clubs south on I-45, any and all drugs readily available, escorts from around the world, etc.  Shady AF.

    It's an interesting place, but celebrating top 25 football wins is unfortunately a "once every 25 years" event.  So I'm reporting for duty today.  You'll hear back from me again in 2045 for the next one.

    Seven Lakes won so Katy will indeed be playing in DII for the playoffs, vs Fort Bend Elkins next week (and will likely beat them by 30+)

    Some different teams in DII this year that could make for an interesting playoff run.  Katy (Region 3), Shadow Creek (Region 3), Cedar Hill (Region 2), Bridgeland (Region 2).  I believe Westlake is DI this year, can somebody confirm?  

     

    My very early predictions for 6A championship games:  

    D1: North Shore vs. Duncanville (3rd year in a row).  I'd bet on NS to win.

    D2: Cedar Hill vs. Katy (would be an amazing matchup).  I'd favor Cedar Hill.

    Alumnihorn (247 and IT) supposedly in the know

    I heard tonight that we reached a verbal. I am trying to confirm. Still have calls out. The poster on 247 has had a decent pulse on this. I need more confirmation. Trying to get it. Probably in the morning. There are 3 guys I want to speak with. Tomorrow will be a loud day. One way or another

    First we had Bijanukkah.

    Now we have Urbanukkah.

    Shalom.
