Not beating the oklahoma is broke allegations
Wow. On3 certainly made a choice with that photo post processing. They cranked up the Clarity setting in Lightroom. He looks diseased and beat dead in this photo.

2016: Trevor Knight (ChatGPT says he transferred from OU? Don't remember this guy)
Trevor Knight transferred to (or from?) OU and played us once there I think. He was also the cousin of someone either one Shaggy or OB. I remember his cousins getting a lot of shit when he went to a rival school. He wasn’t that great any way.

California still has football?
Mater Dei was one of three Trinity League teams opening in Florida. St. John Bosco won 31-0 on Friday night in a game halted at halftime because of lightning. There was also lightning for Mater Dei’s game that delayed the start by one hour.
Orange Lutheran made it a Trinity League sweep in Florida with a 17-13 win over Miami Northwestern. Reagan Loki threw two touchdown passes to Nico Bland.
Elder daughter's high school team played Mater Dei during their Freshman year. Her boyfriend at the time was a center on our high school Frosh team. Not a big kid. I think he was around 5'6" 170# or something like that in his Freshman year. The Nose for Mater Dei's Freshman team was about 6'3" and probably pushing 300#. He would pick our player up by the neck and throw him into the ground and choke him.
Our school, lost something like 42-0.

Well shit!Now that I know that I have access to a house in Tahoe, I’m going to get back up to NorCal sooner than later!
Come on by!

Yeah. Sorry I misworded it. I still think it would be a great trip but I did want and wanted my kids to see the glaciers before they were much less grand. Alaska itself was pretty amazing overall. We also have a house in Tahoe, which is not comparable at all but we have a place for mountains and snow to go to regularly.

What? Man it will STILL be worth it.
I'm not sure.
When we were in Seward we were planning on making a trip to the Exit Glacier as its own activity. We got to the RV Park early enough and close enough that we just went that same day/night. They've built a whole state park around the Exit Glacier as an attraction and it was completely underwhelming. It basically just looks like some snow on a hill. It was obviously much larger and grander years ago according to the maps they have along the trail. So we just ended up seeing a small glacier, getting rained on and being bitten by bugs.I don't regret seeing it but I am also happy we didn't make it a "trip" unto itself. It was very uninteresting. Contrasted with the amazing Glacier viewing we had later it made it pale in comparison even worse than our initial impression of it.

i think the depressing comment is about the crystal blue water
the northwest passage is navigable today
the arctic may melt completely next summer
Arctic sea ice extent on 4th August 2025, with 1981-2010 average extent indicated in orange, and the regions referred to in the text labelled.
We just got back from an amazing RV and cruise trip to Alaska before the kids started school. I kept telling my family that I’ve always wanted to do it and frankly, I’m not sure how much longer it’ll be worth doing for the kids before the glaciers are diminished or gone.
I have video of some of the most amazing glacier calving out there. A couple huge chunks that were several hundred tons breaking off.

this has gotta be fake.
So my younger daughter just finished her first season of club volleyball. Some genius at the Northern
California Volleyball Association books a tournament at the San Jose Convention Center each season concurrently with Furrycon. I guess it must be the cheapest weekend you can book the venue since most others wouldn’t want to be exposed to it. Having a bunch of teen and pre-teen girls intentionally intermingling with furries makes sense in some world.This year we were PM wave for the tournament on the first day. I was texting with a friend whose kid was playing AM wave and he was talking about how freaky Furrycon was. I laughed it off because it’s so absurd. But when we got there in the afternoon I understood what he meant. It’s somehow funny in theory, but when there are enough of those weird sweaty nerds in one place to easily overpower and kill you it becomes less entertaining.
My kid needed to find a bathroom when we left that first night at 11pm (fucking volleyball tournament scheduling). It gets creepier at night when they’re making “night clubs” in the halls and they’re at the point where they’re removing their heads and just loitering around.

I could SO raise UT's photography game.I think what we need is some sort of still photography version of The Volume. A huge video wall with side walls and a ceiling. Give the recruits the choice of what amazing background they want their visit photo to be. For Photograph it's infinitely easier since it doesn't have to camera track or even animate.

Fun fact, kiddo was doing a camp today and one of the guest coaches was Bella Bergmark. Unfortunately today was the only day of the camp that I didn’t drive them.

So would you guys recommend the “classic” environment at Gregory or the new experience at Moody? She has only been to a couple NCAA games at Stanford (vs. Texas) and a couple at St. Mary’s in the town where we live and maybe a game at Cal she might have gone with a friend.

The Stanford VB match will be at the Moody Center - should be a fun scene.
I want to bring my family (and my younger daughter who played her first year of club) to a combo FB and VB weekend. I know Moody would be a unique experience but I’m wondering if Gregory might be worth it for more of the regular home scene. We have been to a couple of the Stanford games here at PA but I’d love to do a combo weekend.
I need her to get hyped on Texas volleyball because right now her favorite player is *gasp* Harper Murray despite me telling her the awesomeness of Maddie Skinner. She asked to watch a Nebraska game on YouTube the other day and you can guess which game I chose to play. Haha.

Maybe he meant rescinded
Even that doesn’t really make sense. They can’t just “take back” their contract with him. If they want to be rid of him they’ll have to buy him out like normal. Or are they expecting him to resign without his severance because he underperformed like some of those idiots suggested Jimbo was going to do out of the goodness of his heart and Aggy Honor.

Good for you. For coming back and finishing.
But sorry dude, you blew it.
My favorite story about UT having big classes:
I took Government as a freshman ('74-75), like you're supposed to, with about 250-350 other undergrads in Burdine Auditorium. That was long enough ago that the Prof (not a TA) did a lecture on each US President. Jefferson & Lincoln were inspiring. He did FDR from a wheelchair. I told my friend about this guy and told him you have to come hear his last lecture on Nixon. I wasn't the only one. The 500+ seat auditorium was packed, standing room only. "Nixon was the most corrupt ... The end." got the Prof a standing ovation. In a freshman Government class.
It would have been criminal and a huge waste of resources to have him speaking to a group of 20-25 students. His lecture inspired me to go see all of Nixon's cronies that went on the speakers tour at LBJ Library. The last one being Senator "Sam" Ervin, Dem. NC, (chair, Senate Select Committee to Investigate Campaign Practices, also known as the Senate Watergate Committee). That was also a packed house so I knew to get there early.
That's my bookends on taking Government at The University of Texas v. ACC or High School credit.
What I heard cemented my beliefs on HS recruiting, and my disdain for all things OU, A&M & from what I knew, Alabama.
Little known fact. Burdine Hall resembles a ForTran computer punch card.
My scholarship paid for the Freshman Orientation week; yes, I slept in Kinsolving for a week. Hasn't everyone? UT did a multi-media slide/video show at Burdine Auditorium to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, a cloud of sweet smoke waifing though the air, and afterward we went to Nothing Strikes Back for ice cream in their Black Light/day glow dark room ("When the munchies strike... Nothing Strike Back").
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the wayTired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gunEvery time I hear Pink Floyd takes me back to 1974.
Good Times & fond memories.
Yeah. What can I say? I screwed up by living off Riverside immediately in the Freshman year. I lived with my brother but an 18-year-old kid needing a 45-minute bus ride to get to a random assortment of 8am classes was never going to work out well. I just flailed around for the first couple years and went on SchoPro twice. I was just happy to still be in school and not getting beaten with wooden cooking spoons for failing out.

I feel ya, man. A friend of ours just moved here a few years back from a former Soviet bloc country (if I say the name, the memes will get outta hand). He was a lawyer there, and he's gone to USC night school plus studying for the bar. He's coming up on attempt #3 soon. So take your problem, add a decade in age, and sprinkle on some "not my first language" fun in there, and you've got yourself a fun ol time.
California Bar Exam is evidently no joke at all.

Haha. It’s actually references the least Asian thing ever. I left UT without my degree missing only the Freshman History and Government requirements on my course catalog. So when I signed up for Hornfans I figured I was a Texas Ex minus 6 hours. The career I had didn’t really require a degree so I just didn’t bother.
I did end up finishing and graduating 17 years later after I had my first kid. Just to set a good example. So I’m class of 2010 but entered college in 1988. Reading textbooks and writing essays when you’re about to turn 40 sucks.

1) NIL and LHF donors are dying off and mostly olds. - The olds in the donor base do not, generally, have any interest in helping with NIL. The reality is that the largest donors to NIL are all under the age of 50. The absolute idiocy in their take otherwise is only matched by their bizarre certitude.
2) Asians don't like sports. - Never mind the stereotyping trending towards abject racism and just consider any single poster's own experiences in life on this one. Some of the most fanatical "fans" I've been around have been people of Asian ethnicity. Little league, hs football, Texas sports, whatever. Just a dumb, ignorant POV.
3) Tito Beveridge, that rat bastard, is giving Texas anything they want for NIL. - We've been through this and the complete fallacy of it. As we predicted, it's now fact.
I take comfort in seeing their inability to understand circumstances as they are and willful ignorance towards anything that paints Texas as having a sustainable advantage on any front. That stuff has always been their problem and access to constant flows of clear information has done nothing to change it.
Motherfucker. I'm Asian and many times I wished I didn't care about sports as much as I do. I'm also the loudest parent at all my daughter's 13U Volleyball tournaments these days. It's a running joke on the team because I'm also the team videographer. So you can imagine the game tapes need a high-volume warning.

2025 Texas Volleyball - Locked and Reloaded

Finally got to catch a home game today before flying back to California. Who is the other tall blonde OH I saw warming up? She’s got a heavy arm and a pretty nice serve too.
Found her on the roster. Abby Gaido. Another Frosh.
