  1. I am pretty jealous of you and your life. Not going to lie.
  2. We will see. IIRC from my sports law class taught at Texas 20+ years agio, the interpretation of Title IX that provided for equal scholarship opportunities was an opinion issued by the Jimmy Carter administration. And any subsequent administration can undo that with a stroke of a pen. I don't really care how it is split. As it would only apply to the $20MM revenue sharing coming from the ADs and not from corporate NIL or collectives. Don't see it mattering much so long as everyone has to do the same thing.
  3. If we used Aggie think, we would be claiming there is a cabal of Aggies paying Kirk to write harmful shit about Texas.
  4. The fundamental question is, will I be as effective as a boss like my dad was? And I will be, even more so? But until I am, it's going to be hard to verify that I think I'll be more effective.
  5. A guy I know played on that team and told me Mangum had to take a piss really badly and did not have time to go to locker room. So shortly before the end of the game, the team gathered around him and he pissed on the field. Not sure if this guy was messing with me, but that is what he told me.
  6. He was like some kicker whisperer. Don't think we ever missed a game winning kick in his era. Some big ones too. Walk on Bailey against Nebraska in the snow when Lawrence got hurt. Lawrence against NU in the Big 12 title game. Tucker against A&M. Mangum against Michigan. Probably more I am not remembering.
  7. Aggies are very nice. One time I could not locate Kyle Field from the parking lot. A couple nice Aggies helped me find my way. I was not intimidated.
  8. I hate messing with it in general. And mostly wade fish, so artificials are my preference. Gulps are close enough.
  9. Opinions on that will vary. This is not the right forum to discuss it.
  10. In the late 90s to mid 00s before my grandfather passed away, a bunch of Astros used to hunt deer at our ranch in Frio County. My granddad and Drayton McLane were close friends -- my granddad is the one who convinced McLane to buy the team after his group's bid did not work out because John McMullen wanted to include several dog tracks. Lance Berkman and Shane Reynolds hunted with us 3-4x per year. Reynolds and one of my uncles are close friends. Shane also lived down the street from my parents in the 1990s. And then when they moved he later bought the house across the street from them after he sold that monstrosity of a house he built in Sweetwater to Tracy McGrady. So I hunted with Oswalt, Bagwell, Billy Wagner, Adam Everett, Wade Miller, Bill Spiers, Mike Williams (a reliever we got from Pittsburgh), Scott Elarton, and quite a few others. Spiers is a great dude. I loved hunting with him. Gene Stallings hunted with us a lot too. Did not care for him. He is a prick. Johnny Baker, who played for the Oilers and is Lance Berkman's father in law, would hunt with us. Baker is a big Second Baptist guy and would bring Ed Young along a couple times per year. Dr. Young would lead a short devotional by the camp fire after dinners.
  11. 20+ years ago when I lived in midtown fresh out of law school, I loved Ponzo's. Great pizza and pizza rolls. I also miss Eatzi's off Post Oak and San Felipe. Love that place. Have family who live near the one in Dallas. I make sure to get a sandwich every time I visit.
  12. Grew up spending summers in Breck and skiing there in winter as my family had a home there. Honestly, I was never impressed with dining in Summit County. Went back a few years ago and spent a week. Don't feel like it changed much.
  13. OU has had some lookers. Jason White Rattler Griffin twins
  14. Good for these ladies.
  15. I need to try the marker 212 rig. Have heard it works well.
  16. I remember Jammer talking about his little 8 year old brother Quandre in 2000 and how close they were despite their big age difference. And thinking it would be cool if played ball at Texas. Then we almost very stupidly did not offer him 10 years later.
  17. I am still waiting patiently for the Aaron Ross and Sanya Richards progeny to matriculate at Texas.
  18. Yet they love to talk about their Orange Bowl win against 4 loss UNC that was sitting out their two NFL running backs and best WR. That season was such a joke yet Liucci loves to cite it as evidence that they were so close and were on the precipice of being elite. Their best win was at home by three points against a 4 loss Florida team that the Big 12 second place team beat by 35. They beat a garbage 0-9 Vanderbilt team at home by 5 points. They played one good team, Alabama, who beat the everyloving shit out of them. But per Liucci that was a top 4 A&M team as good as any of the last two Texas teams that lost close games in the semifinals. If ever a bowl game was meaningless, it was the 2020 covid Orange Bowl where UNC's offense opted out of the game while A&M played at full strength.
  19. I thought they lost 5 games last year? They not counting losing to 7-6 USC?
  20. Probably because she was not expecting a swing on 3-0 intentional walk pitch.
  21. IIRC, and it's been a bit, but that brewery on lake Dillon actually has pretty decent food.
  22. Same. We all text each other between 5 and 6 am to make sure we are all working out. And give each other shit if someone is not up and moving.
  23. That's great progress. Add in some pushups, dips, and air squats on a daily basis. I've been lifting for a couple years now. My bench press really went up when I started doing a lot of push ups throughout the day. I am getting close to 245 on my max, which is the best I have ever done (and I weigh around 190). I am 6'2" with freakishly long arms, so bench has always been a bitch for me.
