  1. Evan Stewart is really good. He'd likely kill it in a spread system or Sark's offense. Hell, he'd be fine where he is with a really good QB.

    Johntay asks him to transfer to Texas all the time.

  2. missed it, what did they say?
     

    Friendly jabs more than talking shit. Good fun. Reggie played the video of VY’s knee being down on the toss at the rose bowl and said “VY…was that knee down?”

    VY: “it wasn’t called down was it?”

    All good fun.
  3. Texas has a reputation for game crowds that don’t always bring the noise, but in my long experience, big games are an exception.  Looking forward to a true home field advantage environment.  Hook Em’, be loud (VERY loud), and stay late, and send a message to the SEC that we’re not stuck in the SEC with them, that they’re stuck in the SEC with us.  

    I’ve been on the field for many games home and OU. It is night and day with nothing in between. The big games at DKR you can scream at the top of your lungs on the field and the person a foot away just sees your mouth moving. It’s insanely loud. The other games you can hear the traffic on 35. In Minnesota. Lol

    Texas Tech 2005 was one of the loudest. Those idiots from Lubbock thought they would win. By mid-first quarter it was quiet again. Pregame on the field was almost painful it was so loud.
  4. The article states pretty clearly that PUF funds can not be used to offset tuition.   Also what the article completely misses is the fact that this is the endowment for the UT SYSTEM of which there are 250,000 students.  Harvard has 22,000.
    . The state constitution allows for those mineral funds to be spent on capital expenses like the construction of classrooms, hospitals and labs, all of which helps keep pace with increasing enrollment. For most of the schools, the funds cannot be spent on daily operations or providing tuition assistance and scholarships.

    We get AUF funds in our budget. Or we used to before they were repurposed for student support recently.
  5. Certainly not a bad idea, but it would be nice to see schools outside of Austin and UTD rise up the rankings too. I know yall will never be the UC system, but there are far too many resources available for some of the system schools to do as poorly as they do. We have a lot of well performing kids in this state that might not get into UT Austin but that need good options.

    Hey, we (or Aggy) may try to elevate SFA soon…does that count?
  6. About a month ago we were having a team building afternoon at punch bowl social at the domain. Very soon after we got there they started evacuating the place and people were running from the bowling lanes. The staff came from the maintenance area behind the pins crying and screaming. They had just seen their coworker get beheaded by the pin reset machine. All of our future events with punch bowl have been canceled and apparently that location will be closed for some time. I don’t know if they are back open yet or not.

  7. OB is saying he apparently did not have a pleasant reaction to having a boot put on his car.

    Wonder if he drives a black truck. I saw one was booted in Brazos earlier this week. Those guys drive crazy in that garage and do not care about busting through the exit arms either. Then there’s the white car that sometimes has a couple of people in the trunk coming from the parking area in front of pac where the guys go to eat lunch. It’s a wonder one of them hasn’t been killed yet.
  8. Florida forest service is on site to relieve crews at the wimberley fire. No structures lost yet as of the judge’s update earlier this afternoon. Though he showed in his video how close one house got to being burned. It went right up to the deck and foundation.

  9. Good size fire on 165 between Dripping and Blanco.  Homes being evacuated.  Dripping Springs is prohibiting all outdoor watering to help with supply to fight the fire.
    Saw another good size fire east of SH 130/Austin area a couple of hours ago, but not seeing any news reports of it.
     

    It’s showing on zoom earth now. Check out the Fredericksburg fire. Smoke blowing for over 100 miles.

  10. Comanche Peak looks like it may be taken out of the grid in the very near future.  The plant itself I don't think is in any danger but the transmission lines there might get caught up in that Chalk Mountain fire.  That's not going to do any favors to an already tight grid.

    There has been a new widened fire break put in place on the north and east side of the fire as well as “many” rounds of the orange fire retardant from plane drops. They are throwing all resources into keeping it from spreading that direction.
