I caught the cancer
I hope you read this post. My BIL had a rare sarcoma cancer in his leg many years ago. Big bump. All of the Doctors he visited in Austin said amputation was probably necessary. He finally went to Mayo in MN and they not only saved his leg, they suggested a completely different protocol for treatment as well. He wore a backpack delivering chemo for almost a full year. It was insane. But he kept his leg and has been cancer free for a long time. I can’t remember if he got a consult at MDA or why he didn’t get treated there. I will ask him.

Texas Offseason 2025 - Archmania Is Upon Us
While Satya will always be Satya, it is interesting how these days it seems like it’s more difficult to get a handle on whether your team will have good talent or not on the field in the fall. Between the portal and players playing earlier in their college careers, there’s more uncertainty about the quality of players coming in or sitting on the bench. I looked at the offensive and defensive depth charts and there are quite a few question marks that should be very good, or great, but need to see it on the field to be sure.

LHR to Kensington
I have to get from Heathrow to Kings Cross station. I assume I can just get the tickets when I land? Any issues or confusing thing to worry about? I only have a two hour window to catch a train at Kings Cross to Edinburgh.

Texas Basketball 2025-26: It’s Miller Time
Krivacs is the first UT basketball player that I saw live who I immediately began rooting for. His shot was deadly.

Nevermind. Saw link above.- America's Foreign Policy & Other Shit Going On Around the World thread
Interesting thing I noticed while at a port city last week. A large strange looking boat was pulling out of port. There were government workers of all types watching it leave. It was clear that it was highly unusual for it to have been in this port and its leaving was also an unusual event. When I did some research on it, I realized it is a Navy ship that lays underwater fuel cables in advance of combat operations. It is a very shady ship. So shit is about to happen in a significant way. This went out into the Pacific, not the Atlantic. It was really weird.- 2025 transfer portal

So sounds like they were at a restaurant near the resort. It wasn’t the resort restaurant.- NIL Recruiting News Megathread
Ah there’s the missing piece.- NIL Recruiting News Megathread
With the women’s basketball 5 star picking OU over Texas it left me with a question about corporate NIL. Do the shoe companies and other corporate NIL companies offer different NIL compensation based upon where an athlete decides to enroll? Because that five star player will be worth a helluva lot more at Texas to them than at OU, I would think. She’s working her deal with Jordan and I would have thought he’d pay her more at Texas.- The poster formerly known as ztejas (update)
Without change, your situation is not going to end well, and it sure seems like the end is getting closer. I pray your behavior doesn’t end up affecting other lives too.- UT's next basketball coach - discussion/debate [Sean Miller Hired]
I’m hopeful Miller is like Sark, in that he had some positive past performances, but with some significant questions about his ability to win at the level Texas requires. Sark so far has worked out really well, although he hasn’t yet shown he’s good enough to get over the hump of winning it all. Maybe CDC and the decision makers know what they are doing.- The Dallas Stars 2024-2025 Season Thread: Win Now, Talk Later
Man I hope they resign Duchene.- 2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
Amazing how people ignore the major trigger for inflation under Trump with one of the most massive money tosses in U.S. history. Democrats are not immune from criticism either. But let’s not pretend this is a “lib” only problem. Every credible deficit reduction plan must include taxes and spending cuts. We have one party and one party only that refuses the taxes. If you want to argue about this head to cloak room.- Costa Rica
@justhookit I saw the news report about MLB Brett Gardner’s son dying in Manuel Antonio. They showed a shot of a beach that looked exactly like Tulemar. Any word on where it happened?- UT's next basketball coach - discussion/debate [Sean Miller Hired]
It was, but a Table of Contents would have been helpful.- Trump’s America
- UT's next basketball coach - discussion/debate [Sean Miller Hired]
Since tons is plural, that’s at least two tons. At 200 pounds per player on average, that would be 4000 pounds/200 pounds per player = 20 5 stars. In 12 years at Arizona. That’s 1.67 5 stars per year.- UT's next basketball coach - discussion/debate [Sean Miller Hired]

This is a great question. Top 3 for sure and probably #1. And I’m not that fired up about Miller.- LSU @ Texas Series Thread

You mentioned this before. In general, I’m not a big believer in coaches who scream and yell so much that they treat athletes poorly. With that said, a ton of highly successful coaches are not easy to play for and yelling and screaming is often part of the formula for success. Beard is a screamer, as are many other top coaches. The real question is whether the behaviors cross lines, or are the players simply not mentally strong enough to take the “coaching”. - Gone posters
