    Read that the shingles vaccine somehow affects the onset of dementia. Preventatively.

    That's why I got it. But it's also the most painful because they use shingle nails to inject it. Got the Tetnus too and hardly felt it.

    I got the original Covid and the boosters and I've had headaches, muscle aches, joint aches and I've felt more fatigue so I'm not so high on those. And I still got Covid last summer. It's a bitch to go through all that and still get sick.

    As Texas prepares for the Final Four against South Carolina, I spoke with a couple of sources regarding the team, the future and more. 

    - Texas felt they matched up really well against TCU in the Elite 8 and confidence was high in coming away with a victory (obviously for good reason, as Texas won 58-47). 

    - The team is well aware that it gets harder this go round and they’re going to have to shoot better against South Carolina, but it seems they’re anxious to settle the score. One source said there is a quiet confidence in the locker room. I’m also told that they feel they are a “different team” right now versus the one that played SC in the SEC Tournament Championship game. 

    - There’s been a lot of questions regarding standout Rori Harmon’s future in Austin. Multiple sources have told OTF to “not be surprised” if she’s gone after this year. 

    - There is A LOT of confidence in freshman Bryanna Preston regarding next season. The staff has a lot of faith in her abilities, especially in the event that Rori leaves.

    - One note to close on… It seems there is a common belief that Texas could be even better next season. 

    Looking at WNBA salaries it really doesn't look like it makes sense to leave early unless you're going to get in the top 10-20%. And I don't see Rori being that. Reality is she just isn't a good enough shooter to command a top salary. It seems to me like she could get more NIL $ at Texas than WNBA endorsement $, but I can't find good numbers for that. 

    Perhaps they can make more $ playing in Europe. And if she doesn't win it all this year, why not come back and try again?

    To me HVL is the most surprising. She's not even the MVP of her team. I hate to say it because of what she did to Texas, but Prince scores as much as HVL, and  also adds so much more in rebounding and defense. If I had guessed knowing a TCU player would be on the list, I woulda been sure it was Prince.

    Vic needs to allow Lee to shoot. She seems hesitant as if she doesn’t want to get benched. That would hopefully help our shooting woes a bit.

    I think it's more of a lack of open shots than being hesitant. SC has mastered the sagging zone defense and none of the G's are getting the open shots they got earlier in the season. In contrast, Vic keeps running a man defense resulting our players getting picked too often and the bigs having to move over at the last second resulting in fouls. I think espn posted 18-2 layup pts at one time. No way you can win that. Vic better adjust because the formula to big Texas is no secret. Fortunately most teams can't do what SC can do. But they can E8, FF time.

  5. It's certainly a sad story, but more for her than him. And the dog. He likely wouldn't have lasted another month. Sometimes bizarre things happen and this is just one instance. What are the odds she catches a rare disease and dies right before he would have died?

    I'm not buying the he found her dead and then died from grief story at all. He probably never knew she was dead. He died days after her and not next to her. And what's the deal with the daughter who says she was close to her dad. She has a different definition of close than I do.

    here's what Dr. Baden thinks:  Gene went Fred Sanford and hit the deck.  Wife panics, runs to get medicine, slips and hits her head and has a brain bleed and never wakes up. 

     

     

    She didn't go down a bottle of pills, leave many all over the cabinet and then stand in the same spot for 2 hours waiting for the pills to kill her without letting the dog out of the kennel. Anyone thinking she committed suicide is stupid.

    Schaefer’s postgame was pretty good when he was calling out the absurdity of Sankey practicing the coin flip for two hours.

    ”what’s he need to practice for for two hours? Unless he was practicing for a specific outcome. You tell me.” 

    He was jus trying to be funny. I doubt he practiced 2 min. However, how often do you see a coin flipper not show both sides of the coin before that flip?? That was bullshit.

  8. Now I'm reading CO poisoning. That sounds likely as the bodies were not injured and only 1 of 3 dogs was dead. If they poisoned themselves it doesn't make sense they would only kill 1 dog. And heaters are still going full blast this time of year in SF.

    Damn, bitching about being a one loss team after facing 3 quality teams and we are one pitch away from being an undefeated team, thats crazy. 

    Now did I bitch about the loss? Texas just had 2 one run games against an Ivy League team that went 13-26 last year and is opening their season this weekend. I'm just kinda concerned our team can't do better against Fartmouth.
