  1. My son's, too. Of course, he works there. It's a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer.
  2. Plus he's like a coach on the field.
  3. Nor i. I have never found him funny. He's annoying.
  4. I don't think they will drop further than 4. It turnrd out to be an epic game. And I think the rules for epic games are different. The narrative will be that Georgia got smacked in the mouth and was shell-shocked initially. But then, being a national championship caliber team, they responded, storming back to take the lead. They fell just short. That will be the story. What a game!
  5. In all honesty, I very much doubt that Diaz said this to you while he was coaching here at Texas. Nevertheless, if he did, that's a pretty shitty thing to do, especially when it was so clear that Diaz was woefully, WOEFULLY inept.
  6. Just give the Heisman to Ryan Williams.
  7. Never thought I would say that that Stetson Bennett was under rated.
  8. Had it not been for numerous miscues on the part of our players ---- drops, fumbles, off-sides etc ...---- this game would have been 49-6.
  9. Sigh ... little by little, inch by inch, piece by piece, this thread tears my heart out.
  10. I love it when a plan comes together.
  11. Not impressed with their defense at all. They are an embarrassingly bad defensive team. Can't believe I thought they might be close to as good as Texas.
  12. You know been to the edge And then I stood and looked down You know I lost a lot of friends there, baby
  13. The Martin Luther King of George Washingtons.
  14. Tom Waitts Bonnie Rairr John Prine
  15. If he comes to the Texas Georgia game it might be impossible to conceal.
  16. So now two of our backup to the backups who were backing up our starting running backs are injured? What the hell? Is Choice allowed to recruit in season?
  17. This remembrance of Don Graham is one of the best things you'll read this year: https://alcalde.texasexes.org/2021/11/after-life-remembering-don-graham/
  18. My streak of 31 in a row was broken when I failed to remember to play yesterday. Doh!
  19. Holy crap. I would venture to say that I have read more Texas literature, Texas history, Texas culture than anybody on this board. You absolutely MUST read Goodbye to a River. It is in the rarified pantheon of greatest Texas works of literature ever. Top five all time. As for Don Graham, I have stories for miles. It was he who invited me, a lowly undergraduate, to hang out with the Mad Dogs at the chili parlor. That's where I met Shrake, Cartwright, Pete Gent, Eddie Wilson, William Goyen and others, and that is why when I hear Guy Clark's Dublin Blues I sigh wistfully. Mad Dog margaritas are the best. Graham was fabulously encouraging to me, though I really had accomplished nothing. But, after I started Traces of Texas, he sent me several emails and direct messages that I still treasure. Being that it was 30 years later, and I was a grown middle aged man, I asked him why he had been so encouraging back then. He said, "Because I knew there was something in you beyond that which you thought was beyond you." I almost cried. Along with Roger Louis, he was the best professor I ever had at UT. When I heard that he died, I cursed myself for not going to see him when I had the chance. He really was something special.

  21. If that's what happened, you've got to think that a coach of any big time program is going to think twice about offering him a scholarship. Not smart on his part.
