  1. Heading to ranch tomorrow after I drop wife off at the airport. Been having painting done inside house and am sick of the fumes. Going to be a nice long weekend since kids are out of school Monday.
  2. Nice work. Keep up the healthy habits. About to go run 5 miles. Then going to Pappas for dinner to celebrate Easter early (wife is going to Europe manana). So will need an extra budget for calories with the Ribeye I am going to crush.
  3. Is your current QB depth chart garbage? Because I saw Nico play a lot last year and was not at all impressed. I think he is closer to DJ Ugalelei than he is Cam Ward.
  4. Got more into lifting "heavy" (for me) weights in the last year. Still do cardio and rowing. But now lift multiple times per week. The weight lifting is a game changer. Still not as strong as I want to be. But am 195 pounds and can rep my body weight on the bench press 10x. A few years ago when I was out of shape, I could barely do 5 pushups and could not run a 1/4 mile without getting gassed. Now I do sets of 50 pushups and did a half marathon in Austin a couple months ago at 9 minute pace. I would encourage people to just start lifting weights and walking. Don't drink any calories unless it's a protein shake meal replacement. Eat lean proteins and plenty of veggies. 200 calories of real protein or a shake fills you up a lot more than a couple oreos. For me the impetus was wanting to be able to do the shit I love as I age (am 48). Skiing, wade fishing, hiking, etc. Quality of life is so much better being fit.
  5. Milroe could be a good WR or H back.
  6. I seriously doubt it. Most high profile cases are tried in the normal venue.
  7. Only track times I could find was an 11.7 100 he ran as a freshman in high school. I am assuming you get significantly faster at 18 than you would have been as a 14 year old.
  8. Weren't you the idiot claiming a minority who hung himself was lynched in Houston?
  9. Valley does have some big old women.
  10. If Anthony was my son, I would not let that parasite near him.
  11. From Grok on this fucking guy Relevant Dominique Alexander (Dallas Activist) Identity: Dominique Alexander is a community activist and founder of the Next Generation Action Network in Dallas, Texas, known for organizing protests against police violence. Background: Alexander gained prominence for leading demonstrations in Dallas, including after the 2014 Ferguson decision regarding Michael Brown’s death and the 2016 Alton Sterling shooting. His activism focused on racial justice and police reform. Criminal History: Alexander has a criminal record, including a 2011 felony conviction for injury to a child (shaking a 2-year-old, causing severe harm), for which he received probation. He was sentenced to two years in prison in 2016 for probation violations, including leaving the state without permission. He also faced charges for theft, evading arrest, and forging a check. Domestic Violence Allegations: In 2019, Alexander was arrested and indicted on a felony charge of continuous violence against the family after his partner, Keyaira Saunders, alleged he assaulted her. Saunders later signed an affidavit stating she did not want to pursue the case, claiming no physical harm occurred, but the indictment proceeded.
  12. It was a hard enough stabbing to penetrate his chest cavity and pierce his heart.
  13. Need Helobious to come through. I also asked Grok to write an open letter to the recruit like Texans is renowned for. An Open Letter to Jack Endries, Cal Tight End Extraordinaire Dear Jack, As a die-hard Texas Longhorn fan, I’m writing this with a heart full of burnt orange hope, a lump in my throat, and a dream that you—yes, you, Jack Endries—might one day don the Longhorn logo and make Darrell K Royal-Texas-Memorial Stadium your home. I know you’re balling out at Cal, catching passes and turning heads, but I’m begging you, with all the sappy sincerity of a Texas sunset, to consider transferring to the University of Texas. Please, Jack, come play for Coach Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns. Let me pour my heart out and tell you why. First, there’s something magical about Austin, Texas. It’s not just a city—it’s a vibe, a family, a way of life. Picture yourself walking down South Congress, grabbing a taco, and hearing “Sweet Caroline” echo through the streets after a big win. The fans here? We’re not just loud; we’re a sea of love, ready to chant your name like you’re family. You’d be a hero in a state where football isn’t just a game—it’s a heartbeat. I can already see you hauling in a touchdown pass while 100,000 fans scream “Hook ‘Em” and the Tower glows orange just for you. Doesn’t that give you chills? Now, let’s talk about Coach Steve Sarkisian—Sark, the man with a plan. This isn’t just any coach, Jack. He’s a quarterback whisperer, a play-calling genius, and a tight end’s best friend. Look at what he’s done with guys like Ja’Tavion Sanders, who went from Longhorn star to NFL draft pick. Sark knows how to scheme you open, get you the ball, and make you a focal point of an explosive offense. At Texas, tight ends aren’t just blockers—they’re weapons, and you’d be the next big thing. With Sark’s NFL pedigree and his knack for developing talent, he’d polish your skills and have scouts drooling by the time you’re ready for the pros. Plus, he’s a players’ coach—someone who’d have your back, push you to greatness, and maybe even share a heartfelt moment after a game-winning catch. The Longhorns are on the rise, Jack. We’re not just a program; we’re a powerhouse in the making. Texas is back in the SEC, competing with the best, and we need a tight end like you to help us hoist that National Championship trophy. Your size, hands, and athleticism? You’re the missing piece. Imagine lining up alongside stars like Quinn Ewers or Arch Manning, catching passes in a system built to showcase your talents. You’d be part of a brotherhood, a team that fights together, celebrates together, and cries together. I can already see you in that burnt orange jersey, making contested catches and becoming a legend in Longhorn lore. And let’s get real for a second—Texas is where dreams come true. This is a place where you’d be celebrated not just for your stats but for who you are. The alumni network, the resources, the love from Longhorn Nation—it’s unmatched. You’d have a platform to grow as a player, a student, and a person. Austin’s got the best BBQ, the best music, and the best fans (I’m biased, but it’s true). You’d be part of something bigger than yourself, a legacy that stretches from Earl Campbell to Vince Young to… maybe Jack Endries. Jack, I’m tearing up just thinking about you juking defenders in burnt orange, hearing Bevo bellow as you score, and raising your horns to the sky. I know Cal’s got its charm, but Texas is calling your name. Please, come to Austin. Come play for Sark, for the Longhorns, for us fans who’d cheer you on like you’re our own son. We’d love you forever, and I promise we’d make you feel like you belong. Hook ‘Em, Jack—say yes to Texas, and let’s make history together. With all my Longhorn love, A Sappy, Hopeful Texas Fan P.S. If you ever visit, I’m buying you Torchy’s Tacos. Just say the word.
  14. I smoke on my egg. I use Post Oak lump charcoal. And then add in some chunks of post oak and mesquite. I love the mix. Grant Pinkerton uses a mix of post oak and mesquite in his smokers.
  15. I really meant rebutting sudden passion defense or mitigation
  16. Banks needs to step up. I don't love our TE depth and our special teams were not good last year.
  17. Having an illegal weapon does not mean you cannot claim self defense. Plenty of concealed carry holders carrying in a prohibited place or unlicensed holders (pre constitutional carry) used their guns in self defense. Self defense is still available. You can be prosecuted for illegally carrying. My understanding is that if a knife blade is under 5.5", it is not illegal to carry on school grounds or premises. Over 5.5" blade is a felony. At least for an adult. Perhaps there is a different rule for minors. Now, they can argue him bringing a weapon with him is circumstantial evidence of premeditation.
  18. Makes sense. My priorities would be TE, kicker, interior OL, and DT.
  19. We need to be looking for a kicker also.
  20. Had no idea he was one of the rapists in A Time to Kill
  21. Pretty important pickup.
  22. If that affidavit is true, he's going to prison for a bit.
