  1. Isn't that Helm's high school?
  2. In Spain and desperately seeking a decent link.
  3. Both my kids grew up in the PNW and stayed in the area for college, even though we made trips to UT and other places. Both are now in the EU working on grad degrees and I have no expectation that they will come back to the US. Youngest is working on a global public health degree in Germany and wants to focus on refugees. Oldest is in Spain getting a PhD in something about droughts, floods, and food supply. If they and their HS/undergrad friend group is any indication, there’s a definite brain drain going on. One friend is doing a PhD at Glasgow, another is looking to move to Denmark after finishing a residency, another is planning on doing Econ post-doc work in the UK, one is applying for biology grad programs in Germany, and several others are looking to make the move. Only one of the 12 or so is completely augured into the US. No Cloak, but did I mention they are all females? My PhD daughter gets a small stipend, but even without, tuition would be negligible and degree is only three years instead of four—mostly because they don’t make you teach or TA anything. MS daughter also gets a little break and has fortunate timing as this is apparently the last year for fed loans to grad students (or something). She’ll either hook up with an NGO or go get a PhD. FYI: in the US, three women get PhDs for every two guys and the gap widens every year. Smart women migrating within and outside of the US will have definite effects, many of which will be not good. Again, no Cloak Room, but we are repeatedly hitting ourselves in the nuts and it seems like we will continue to do so. Foreign universities may seem a non-starter to many right now, but that can change quickly, particularly as people do it, talk about it, and make it more visible and accepting.
  4. I disagree. It is the shortest month.
  5. 15-16 is an OK number, but I think 22 starting-level players is better. If we only start 7-8 on each side of the ball we may not be ranked #1 for long.
  6. I had to read that a few times. I think this is what he's saying: Start with 1s vs 2s. Move on to 1s vs 1s and 2s vs 2s. Only after that does Sark change it up and go with even more of 1s vs 1s and 2s vs 2s.
  7. Forget the 85 Bears. Will these guys be better than the 83 Daingerfield Tigers? That's the only question worth asking.
  8. Bruce Campbell moves between character actor roles and leads in weird B-movies.
  9. My favorite is Neville Brand.
  10. Richard Gere and the gerbil say hello.
  11. Scariest movie I saw in high school was Midnight Express. Gave me nightmares for months. After I saw it, my parents never had to worry about me ending up in prison or visiting Turkey, I can sure tell you that.
  12. Wide Receivers coach? The same "jaw-dropping" phrase as used for the Ohio State guy? Sure, that may seem a bit sketchy, but the rest of the post rang true to my ears: Really cool of Flood to not leave our struggling backwater of a program in Podunk, TX for that big powerhouse. Plus, the rivalry means everything.
  13. This showed up in my Facebook feed today: 𝑩𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑵𝑬𝑾𝑺: 𝑻𝒆𝒙𝒂𝒔 𝑳𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒔’𝒔 𝑾𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒆𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝑪𝒐𝒂𝒄𝒉/𝑶𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝑲𝒚𝒍𝒆 𝑭𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒂 𝒋𝒂𝒘-𝒅𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 $3 𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒆𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒊𝒂 𝑩𝒖𝒍𝒍𝒅𝒐𝒈𝒔.
  14. I haven't seen any of these write-ups address the elephant in the room: who fills the Big Douche role that has been such an important part of OU football? Who is the next Bosworth or Stutsman? Note: It has to be a player, even though Venables is beginning to excel.
  15. OK, cool. But I don't think you need to own a Porsche to understand that they can go fast.
  16. I like the QB middle screen where the OL lets the defense in and Arch passes to himself before running between the hashes.
  17. So I guess he will be taking Taffe's number next year, right? 16 is becoming a pretty good number on both offense and defense.
  18. He loves opining about NFL quarterbacks but rarely says anything about other positions other than, "I think he's really good." Dude is always confident in his wrongness though.
