  1. Wow, I head to lunch with Sharma basically gone, and come back to a signed LOI. Awesome. Obviously, someone squeezed the Sharma. In a good way.
  2. Matt McClearin of The Ticket in Dallas has disclosed today that he was visited by and briefly abducted by aliens. I assume Surly immediately dismisses this, perhaps rightly so. haha. Sleep paralysis?
  3. They are moving him to punter.
  4. I wonder if Texifornia will bump this thread tonight and give everyone a heart attack.
  5. Holy shit Stephenson is one of the biggest busts to ever run a major corporation. His acquisition mistakes are some of the most legendary fuckups of all-time. Harvard business school case studies have been written about his terrible leadership. I’m sure he will do great at OU.
  6. Much like East Texas Box Face, there is definitely a Texas Aggie Douche Face, and it always includes a backwards hat and a recommendation to watch the tape!
  7. Well with Riley taking the Cowboys job in 3 months....jk
  8. I was so confused for the last few days over Gerry's comment about a lower ranked player potentially being in play. I had heard through the grapevine it was Littleton, who's obviously not lower-ranked. Sounds like Mills and potentially Littleton were/are both in play. As a side comment, I got bent out of shape about billionaire's coming in and changing the NIL game even more than they have to date. I understand that these billionaires have been part of this since the beginning, but I had heard in the last two weeks some unsettling things about the extent to which specifically Ellison might go. Through a pure coincidence, I used to work with his personal team on a business opportunity. I have been hearing that this "Ellison Wave" might be coming. Buckle up.
  9. Ha. I know the Lone Star guys. Runnnnn. On Austin sports radio, when I moved back to Austin I tried to listen to the various shows but they were all so bad as compared to The Ticket in Dallas I couldn’t take them. I can’t even keep any of the broadcasters straight except for Babers. Anyway, Austin Sports radio sucks and that’s a shame. It shouldn’t.
  10. Oh man how did I miss Little Man Syndrome Hamm from August.
  11. Texas 22 Georgia 18 36 for 189
  12. I just don’t see how a five star receiver would roll the dice like that, even if they are getting a nice check to join. They are potentially screwing up millions of not tens of millions of dollars for what essentially is a coin flip that it will work out. I guess he believes he can transfer if it fails, but that’s a risk too if you haven’t put up good numbers
  13. Sharma and Mbatchou both have moved into multiple decommit territory, imo lowering the probability of becoming a high value impact player over time. Although I do recall vaguely that Mbatchou was a high character player, so maybe he still pans out. Who knows.
  14. I’ve never met you but now I hate you, Tex
  15. Biff Peterman, a 5’4” whirling dervish out of Dallas Episcopal.
  16. Trump will go down as one of the most important figures in U.S. history to degrade ethics, integrity, and honesty in politics. But his despicable behavior across a multitude of issues has been all but ignored by the voting public. Politicians from both parties have realized that the American public will not demand ethical behavior from their politicians, nor will other politicians. As a result, even honest politicians have now determined they have no choice but to lower themselves down into the muck, or face reprisals and loss. Biden is a realist. He knows Trump will illegally and immorally use the office of President against him. So, he’s dived into the muck. This is just the beginning. We are a banana republic and powerless as citizens. We will all be stunned at the speed of our decline. We can thank uneducated and/or immoral voters for all of this.
  17. Florida boosters came to the table with a lot more money once Napier was retained, according to my Florida friends.
  18. What happened to ChampKind?
  19. That was some of the most infuriating shit. Every casual fan in the stadium could see that he kept over-running the plays. One five minute conversation with a competent defensive coach would have stopped that shit immediately.
  20. Not unless he also includes a tree.
  21. Nailed it! Ballgame!
  22. I hope you had the good sense to crop dust them as you walked by.
  23. He’s definitely still injured. But there was also a rumor in fall camp that he really really struggled to get the playbook down correctly, which is weird given he came from Bama. He may not be the brightest tool in the shed, not sure. But he’s at least busting his ass to get on the field. Have to respect that. Because he does make a difference.
