  1. Take a deep breath. I was asking a question about the Woodlands. I was not providing answers. I just wanted an assessment. But if it makes you feel any better, my brother gives me shit all the time about Houston. Since the 90s I’ve gone to Santa Fe more than Houston and when I go to Houston I’m pretty lame and visit my brother and parents and don’t really bother to see friends. This means that I don’t really know Houston anymore and will mention some place the Ginger Man or Pig and Whistle or some place and I’ll be quickly informed that the place closed like 25 years ago. Alls good and it may not have come across correctly, but I just wanted more info.
  2. I know Westfield is ghetto now and people have moved out from there to the Woodlands. However, in the mid-80s I lived in Parapet next to about 6 engineers who all went to Spring Westfield and they all sent their kids to UT. So maybe the Woodlands isn’t all Aggie. Plus, I thought the Woodlands was mainly Oil and Gas - Doesn’t that mean there are a lot of UT PetEs living there?
  3. I’ve said it before - I really like this guy’s film.
  4. What's funny is that after all the gnashing of teeth, if we get the tOSU guy and pick up a quality starter like the Clemson guy in the spring, we will end up better at DL than we were this past year.
  5. Sorry, you are correct. I don't know where Dulles and Elkins kids go. I don't even know the demographic there - Other than it being different than the BraeBurn CC demographic and that's as close as I ever get these days.
  6. There was that and they all went to school in Klein which is an aggie area.
  7. Bruce Matthews is in the Hall of Fame and went to USC before the the Oilers/Titans. He played something like 19 seasons without missing a game. He later became a coach. His kids were all aggies. Mike Munchak is also in the Hall of Fame. He went to Penn State. He had a pretty long coaching career in the NFL after he retired as a player. Dean Steinkuhler went to Nebraska, was the Outland Award winner, and was picked 2nd in the draft. He won rookie of the year, but knee injuries caught up with him. Gene Chilton played at Texas and then the Chiefs. Omar Saleh started at Texas when Texas wasn't very good. He was too small and not strong enough to have an NFL future.
  8. Hey, I’m confident in my online opinion as my brother and I have discussed line play ad nauseam with Munchak and Matthews, and Dawson (not so much Steinkuhler) back in the day. And my brother would analyze a play with Dawson and say what was done right and wrong. And if it matters, I used to be friends with Gene Chilton and Omar Saleh as well as some other old timers. Acquaintances with Dan Neil. Nic Robertson is a take as a center. Turntine is a take at any position. Ojo is a take at tackle. That’s all I’ve liked so far.
  9. Yeah, I’m not talking about true starvation, more like eating lunch and then having nuts and fruit when I get home. I say starvation simply because I’m use to eating a whole lot more.
  10. Is username from the Caribbean island? I've gone diving there probably 20 times.
  11. I was looking at our recruiting in 2021, 2022, and 2023. 2021 was only ranked 15th according to 247, but that class was pretty damn good compared to 2022 and 2023.
  12. Yeah, DL is going to be fine. I don't think we will see much of a drop-off. January will be improved. We will probably bring in the tOSU guy and Shaw seems to have turned a corner. Brevard is a zero technique and will play situationally. We will miss Norton, Collins, and Broughton but those guys aren't as irreplaceable as Sweat and Murphy were. The biggest issue is that we have gotten nothing out of DL recruiting in 2022 and 2023. Personally, my concerns are at corner, interior OL, WR and TE. Considering we had an inconsistent offense last year, the loss of talent at WR, TE, and the offensive line is troublesome.
  13. I'm doing a starvation diet for the heck of it - I don't really need to lose weight but I'm kind of nostalgic for the days when I had a 6 pack and no body fat. I'm transitioning towards retirement and have a sandwich and sun chips for lunch and go work out on the way home and then just have some nuts and fruit for dinner. I'm real hungry in the morning, but in the evening I'm pretty good. Unfortunately, I think I have only lost about 7lbs in a month and a half and I'll probably gain it back in a weekend, but at least I'm putting in the effort. The interesting thing is that up until I started the diet, I ate a whole lot more but now I don't miss it. It feels like my stomach has shrunk.
  14. Nantz did his first play by play calling my high school football game vs. Dulles.
  15. Unfortunately, I think that describes Sark as well.
  16. Well, what is that like?
  17. All of a sudden I have a craving for Hostess Donuts.
  18. I make it a point these days to avoid wearing a suit. Just put me in my coffin wearing a banana hammock.
  19. Is the audio track on the video on Jennifer Aniston's house AI generated? It seems like a huge percentage of the YouTube videos that a watch these days have monotone/robotic voices. Also, the water holding tank could just as easily be a cistern with a battery powered pump.
  20. He visited here when he was a recruit, right? I vaguely remember him coming here with a group as he was touring early in the recruiting season.
  21. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2025/01/georgia-authorities-using-draconian-new-laws-to-crack-down-on-dissent/ January 13, 2025 Georgia: Authorities using draconian new laws to crack down on dissent Responding to the Georgian authorities’ use of repressive new legislation to crack down on protesters in Georgia, Denis Krivosheev, Amnesty International’s Deputy Director for Eastern Europe and Central Asia, said: “The Georgian authorities’ use of newly enacted, draconian legislation to suppress peaceful dissent marks a disturbing escalation in their crackdown on human rights. The laws, hurriedly passed in December 2024, effectively criminalize even symbolic acts of protest, such as placing stickers on public property. These measures are being deliberately wielded to target peaceful protestors and stifle dissenting voices, including journalists, human rights defenders, and political activists.” The Georgian authorities’ use of newly enacted, draconian legislation to suppress peaceful dissent marks a disturbing escalation in their crackdown on human rights Denis Krivosheev, Amnesty International’s Deputy Director for Eastern Europe and Central Asia “The Georgian authorities must urgently release all those detained for peacefully exercising their rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly and conduct prompt, thorough and impartial investigations into all allegations of unlawful and disproportionate use of force by police.” Background Between 11 and 12 January, more than 20 people — including activists, media workers, and members of the political opposition — were arrested in Tbilisi and Batumi during protests held in solidarity with previously detained pro-European demonstrators. Some, including activists Tsiala Katamidze and Mate Tsentradze, were detained in Batumi under a newly enacted law that prohibits the placing of protest stickers on public buildings. Mzia Amaghlobeli, founder of the media companies Batumelebi and Netgazeti, was arrested twice on 12 January. Initially detained for the administrative “offence” of posting a protest sticker, she was later re-arrested as a criminal suspect, with the charges against her yet to be disclosed. Human rights defender Gia Jvarsheishvili, who previously reported being tortured during detention in December, was also re-arrested on 11 January and later hospitalized. Human rights defenders reported delays in accessing detainees, amid allegations that several of them had been subjected to beatings, ill-treatment, and verbal abuse by police. New legislation that came into effect on 30 December imposed further arbitrary restrictions on the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, introducing hefty fines for putting up protest slogans or posters, and granting police the power to detain individuals “preventatively” on suspicion of planning to violate the rules governing public assembly or other laws, for up to 48 hours.
  22. We would have been better off with Will Campbell at tackle and Banks at guard or Banks at tackle and Campbell at guard. The point is that strong, athletic guys with at least adequate length can play either position. Just get the best 5 guys possible on the field together and get them to work together as a team. The only limitation is the players themselves who often covet the money and the prestige that comes with playing left tackle in the NFL. If we recruit the five best players on the offensive line that we can, we will be better off than if we limit ourselves by signing 3 interior guys and 2 tackles.
  23. Nicolas Robertson has very good feet. He plays tackle now but isn't very tall. If he played center (learned how to snap) and kept his weight under control, he would be a take.
  24. I did a quick look-up and came across 6. Jeff Nadalo (UT Law) General Counsel at Buc-ee's, Ltd.
