  1. Wait, so Tech has plenty of resources but still hasn’t won an outright conference title since the 1950s?
  2. Going to Texas Tech is not a choice. It’s a consequence.
  3. I was about to ask him the same thing
  4. So it’s deceitful and immoral for Texas and OU to leave the Big 12? But Tech trying to go to PAC 12 wasn’t? They are more noble because the PAC 12 said no? Was the Big 12 hypocritical in taking teams from other conferences or is that different?
  5. We have a good team this year. Tech never beats a good Texas team in Austin. And odds are their QB will be hurt by then.
  6. That 1956 Border Conference championship flag flies forever. It was a hard fought win against conference mate Hardin Simmons to seal the deal
  7. I picture the shy nerdy computer expert from the Oceans series when I hear him talk.
  8. Weird how all the “SEC defenses” now give up 30 a game now that the offenses they face aren’t slow tempo pro style run, run, pass, isn’t it?
  9. We had Leon O'Neal 20 years ago, and his name was Rufus Harris
  10. Same. My daughter started when she was 7 and is in year 5. Son has been 5 years too. They both love it. But my daughter really does. She starts getting her camp trunk out a month before it starts. She will definitely be a counselor when her time comes. And she’s on a daily group text with her camp friends. Really cool has she has close friends out of state she met at camp years ago. We love Ozark. The good Lord doesn’t make better people than the Torns, even though they’re Aggies.
  11. I think they might be cousins
  12. The Torns are awesome people. They own and run Camp Ozark.

  14. I think at a minimum a conservatorship would be easier to sell to birth mom and hurt her feelings less than an adoption. It is not a court telling mom that she is no longer mom. That would be hard for Oher to do to his birth mom, who he still cared for.
  15. Pretty sure in the book the Tuohys claim that added Oher to their will and that he would be rich regardless of whether he ever made it to the pros. They could be lying about that. But I have a clear recollection of that being in the Lewis book.
  16. I thought there were sensitivities about his birth mother, who he still had a relationship with, and adoption. Because typically to do an adoption, you have to terminate the parental rights of the birth parents. Assuming that holds true for adult adoptions, that could be a valid reason why they did not do adoption. Shit, no idea if his dad was still alive or if they knew who he was given Oher had 11 siblings with different dads, but there are also all sorts of due process issues with terminating parental rights -- giving notice and hearings to both birth parents. That could have seriously delayed or even hindered doing an adoption.
  17. I have dreaded watching Maldonado and whoever has played first base for us the last two years swing the bat.
  18. Texas has had tougher schedules than A&M something like 9 out of the last 11 years. They rarely play anyone decent nonconference and they always have like 8 home games.
