Which obviously it's not. These young guys, imo, are forgetting who should be working for whom.
Country music legends aren't necessarily the best educated bunch.

Mountain Lion Kills Female Hiker
January 2, 2026 by David Jones
A woman hiking alone was found dead near a mountain lion on the Crosier Mountain trail just before midday Thursday in the foothills south of this small Larimer County community, authorities said. Witnesses reported seeing the animal near the woman’s body and tried to scare it away by throwing rocks; first responders arrived minutes later but the hiker had no pulse.
State wildlife officers and sheriff’s deputies launched a wide search in rugged terrain between Glen Haven and Estes Park, a gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. Investigators said signs at the scene pointed to a mountain lion encounter, though the official cause and manner of death will come from the county coroner after an autopsy. Wildlife officers later located two mountain lions in the area and euthanized them under agency protocol for suspected attacks on humans. Necropsies and lab tests will look for human DNA and screen for disease. If confirmed, it would be Colorado’s first fatal mountain lion attack since the late 1990s and a rare event in a state that estimates roughly 3,800 to 4,400 of the animals.
Shortly before 12:15 p.m., two hikers on the remote trail segment spotted a mountain lion near a person lying on or just off the path, officials said. One of the hikers, a physician, attempted to render aid after the animal moved off, but the woman did not respond. Firefighters, sheriff’s deputies and Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers converged on multiple access points to reach the location, a forested slope above Glen Haven mottled with snow and rock outcrops. Crews established a perimeter while medics assessed the victim. A mountain lion seen lingering nearby was shot and fled into heavy cover; trackers and hounds later located the injured animal, which was euthanized. A second lion found in the vicinity was also euthanized as a precaution.
Officials said it was too early to release the woman’s name pending family notifications. They declined to describe her injuries in detail, citing the ongoing investigation. The responding agencies included Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office, Estes Park Police and local fire districts. A sheriff’s spokesperson said there was no broader public safety threat once the perimeter was established, but trail users in the area were asked to avoid the scene for the rest of the day. “This is a heartbreaking incident in a place people go for peace,” the spokesperson said, adding that the area’s steep draws and dense timber complicated the search for the cats after the initial encounter.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife emphasized that euthanizing animals believed to have attacked people is standard procedure to prevent further harm while evidence is gathered. Wildlife veterinarians will conduct necropsies on both lions, collect tissue samples and swab claws and mouths for DNA comparison. If laboratory work fails to find human material, officers could continue looking for another animal tied to the scene, though officials said current signs point to the two euthanized cats. The agency will also test for rabies and other pathogens; positive results are uncommon but part of the routine panel after human contact cases.
Mountain lions, also known as cougars or pumas, range widely across Colorado’s foothills and mountains and are most active at dawn and dusk. Sightings around Glen Haven and Estes Park are not unusual, especially in winter when deer herds drift lower. Attacks are rare. State records list a few dozen reported incidents in more than three decades, most resulting in minor to moderate injuries. The last fatal case in Colorado dates to 1999, according to agency tallies. Officials said Thursday’s response will feed into a broader review of lion behavior around popular trail systems and seasonal patterns that draw people and wildlife into closer contact.
The Crosier Mountain trail network climbs from canyon bottoms into mixed ponderosa and Douglas fir, with narrow benches and limited sight lines in places. The route sits just outside Rocky Mountain National Park on national forest land, popular with locals for half-day hikes and winter conditioning. Search crews staged at trailheads while a wildlife helicopter orbited to help spot movement in timber. By late afternoon, investigators had flagged a swath of ground for evidence, photographed tracks, and collected hair and scat samples. Rangers walked the trail out in both directions documenting distances to intersections, signage and any fresh human footprints around the scene.
Larimer County’s coroner will determine whether the woman died from trauma consistent with a lion attack or from another cause before or during the encounter. That finding will drive how wildlife officials characterize the event in their annual reports and whether any management changes follow. The sheriff’s office is handling the death investigation alongside state officers, a common arrangement for serious wildlife incidents on public land. Officials said the autopsy could take several days, with DNA results arriving later from a state lab.
Neighbors in Glen Haven said the canyons were busy on New Year’s Day with hikers and sightseeing traffic in fresh mountain air. “We heard sirens echoing up the draw and saw trucks heading toward Crosier,” said a resident who watched engines and rescue rigs pass the general store. Along the switchbacks above town, plumes of snow dusted the pines as crews rotated in and out of staging. A pair of hikers who came off the trail midafternoon described seeing taped-off sections and officers carrying evidence bags. “Everyone got very quiet,” one said, noting that a ranger accompanied them back to the lot.
Thursday’s response followed a familiar sequence for serious wildlife incidents: secure the area, render aid, identify and remove any animals posing an immediate threat, and preserve the scene for investigators. Wildlife officers planned to revisit the site Friday morning to check for scavenging activity and to complete a grid search for additional trace evidence. Trail access around the core scene may remain restricted through the weekend while crews finish documentation and remove temporary markers. The sheriff’s office said any broader closures would be posted at trailheads if needed.
Officials plan to release additional details after the coroner’s preliminary findings and the first round of lab results. They are also compiling a timeline that will include the initial witness call at around 12:15 p.m., the arrival of the first units, the shots fired at the first lion, the recovery of both animals, and the evacuation of personnel at dusk. Colorado Parks and Wildlife said its regional biologists will brief county leaders and land managers on early observations and will fold the incident into a seasonal update on wildlife-human interactions along the Front Range.
By nightfall, the trailhead parking areas were mostly empty, with a light wind moving through the trees and a thin crust of snow crunching under the boots of the last officers leaving. A small cluster of residents stood near the store in Glen Haven, trading fragments of what they had heard. “It’s terrible,” one man said softly, tucking his hands into his coat as emergency vehicles rolled back toward Estes Park. The mountains went dark, and the road down the canyon emptied to the occasional set of headlights.
As of Friday morning, the woman had not been publicly identified, and laboratory testing on the two euthanized mountain lions was still pending. Authorities said they expect to give the next update after the coroner issues preliminary results and biologists complete necropsies in the coming days.

5 hours ago, victory88 said: huh? Looks like they are planning on revamping the OL. They are saying that they are looking for a stud RT and will move Baker inside. That doesn’t sound like a coach that is doing jack shit on OL. Same coach that has had every tackle he has coached drafted and will have another top 15 draft pick on Goosby. This year sucked to start but it’s looking like they are going to load up on OL.
Bobby keeps repeating himself that Texas is going to spend a lot of money and they are not being “penny wise”. I’ve never seen Bobby talk like this. He either knows which players are coming or has been told how much they are going to spend and is giddy about it.
That's interesting. I'm not sure if moving Baker inside is a great idea - I hope he is for the move. If we lose Baker and don't keep Goosby away from the NFL, I don't know if it matters how much we spend: We would pretty much be fucked. And it would be nice if some of the staff's top targets were coming to visit this week. Are we going after the LSU transfers?

That would be typical of Sark to blow his wad on WR, RB, and QB and do jack shit on the OL. And yes, I place a lot of the OL line issues on Sark. However, Flood should have realized that his LG, center combo sucked balls. waiting patiently.

Depends what you are talking about. They have some football players like Aaron Rodgers and Marshawn Lynch. They have some Olympians like Alex Morgan. They also have some pretty wealthy alumni like Steve Wozniak, Chris Pine and Carol Greider. Personally, I don't think he has cost himself shit.

This seems very European. Drunk bartenders, doing stupid shit. Poor fire retardation in the building with 200 year old wood rafters without fire resistant stain or fire resistant insulation. One exit that isn't easily accessible. No ceiling sprinkler system...

Obviously he didn't. Texas didn't throw him out the door. So yes, this is just like wisner leaving and should be viewed the same.
Really, what if Ffrench and Lockett make triple what he makes? And he thinks he is better than those guys.

My guess is Steve Spagnuolo. He has significant ties to the state, especially in and around El Paso, and should be able to get an endorsement from @Helobious.
