  1. Let’s see this is shaping up to be the worst year of Texas baseball since________
  2. As a rabid Spurs fan I would love this pick. He has the athleticism, attitude, and potential that the Spurs could leverage while fixing his shooting and lack of impact. I’ve seen the Spurs fix the shot of tons of players. This would be great for Mitchell.
  3. We are definitely better off at the position than we’ve been in a long time. I don’t mean to sound like I’m complaining about the position. I’m pretty happy with where they are at DE. And yes I’m sure a few of those guys will get drafted or a look in the nfl. I just don’t think any but potentially Simmons are likely to be an Ossai, or a multi-year player. Of course I’ve been unenthusiastic about Burke since the beginning and I’ve been proven spectacularly wrong there. Let’s hope he keeps getting better and I’m wrong about all of them.
  4. Of all those It’s a lot of good to very good guys, but I think the only strong NFL prospect is Simmons, imo. Size, strength, speed, agility needed to stick in the nfl.
  5. What’s the real story behind this Hagerty bill banning federal money to be used to fly illegal immigrants to the US? The right wing propaganda machine is making a big deal out of all Democrats voting against it last Friday.
  6. I’ll put this in the category of embarrassing trivia. I just learned two weeks ago that the top ingredient in lemon pepper is not pepper. I’ve been using it my whole life.
  7. How else do we win the internet? That’s my highest priority item on today’s To Do list.
  8. It's nice to finally see a few folks start to voice their concerns about Pierce. I've been on that island for awhile now. I get it, though. He's done just well enough so that if you squint and rationalize, you can convince yourself that he's the right coach for Texas. I've done my share of squinting over the years, even staying on the Charlie Strong "let's wait and see" bandwagon too long. That "let's wait and see" approach can sustain you for 2-3 seasons. I freely admit that based upon the world series appearances it seems like I'm jumping the gun on Pierce. But, I've seen enough little things over the last several years to believe Texas could do better. I also don't believe a mid-season firing is warranted, obviously. Giving him next year as well seems appropriate, on paper. But if you're CDC, you have to have received enough information about his coaching to make a call after this year if you do believe he's the wrong guy.
  9. In 1996, i never once had the thought that I might die of old age before the Cowboys won the SuperBowl again. These days, it’s a distinct possibility.
  10. I burst out laughing when I heard that. Probably one of the funniest e-brake call ins ever.
  11. I’ve done a few with another o need to schedule. Anyone have a good Austin doctor recommendation? The guy I used was ok but I want to use a top quality doctor.
  12. Oh I didn’t realize it was already time again for Lisa (and I’m sure Susan Collins at any moment) to express deep concerns about their party, right before they vote straight maga again on a given issue.
  13. I’m not a fan of Terry, but dang this roster is terrible. Him keeping them in this game is a miracle.
  14. How in the hell can this team look this bad and still be within 3?
  15. He’s the only player on this roster worth having once Dosu leaves. Or, Terry is not developing. Not sure which.
  16. Well who assembled this team? None of the transfers have lived up to the billing, at all.
  17. At some point you have to wonder whether we just have a roster of terrible players. I think Disu has so much on his back because everyone else pretty much sucks.
  18. While I fully expect Texas to be down by 18 with 5 minutes left, if they are somehow within 4, I will guarantee a Texas win. Terry will let ‘em loose. And Barnes will pucker up.
  19. I don’t know anything about her because any minute spent on non-Texas women’s basketball sucks the life force out of me. Why is she supposedly such a pos?
