  1. You should have said "yes. Now you understand why I play video games." Then maybe she'd let you play more video games.
  2. I've noticed that before when recruits from Texas show up. I've wondered if has a revolving rotation of such photos that he has brought in whenever players from different states show up. He's recruiting against Texas quite often. I'd have a whole wall full of photos of when he beat Texas for the national championship when players from Texas come to visit.
  3. You say that like a democracy cannot be chaotic. Why not both?
  4. Check out the highlight film of Refugio's Ernest Campbell. He ran a 10.32 hundred meters as a sophomore to win state. That's faster than Marquise Goodwin's time as a sophomore (10.38) The problem is that Ernest is only 5'8", 145 .lbs right now. Nevertheless, he's lightning in a bottle. Holy smokes. That second play, the one that begins at 18 seconds, is ridiculous. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/14954940/63a4e27f4205b80f1c17cea3
  5. Awful news, lilMac. I am so terribly sorry for you and your family. F cancer.
  6. Invasive carp now account for 90% of live fish mass in some Australian rivers. Solution? Unleash the carp herpes! https://www.realclearscience.com/articles/2023/01/23/is_it_time_to_unleash_herpes_on_invasive_carp_877185.html
  7. Just watched this kid's highlight video from his time at Georgia. He's smooth as buttah. Dare I say that, assuming Neyor comes back and Cook is as good as advertised, our WR room is going to be stacked? Not to mention Whittington. Holy cow.
  8. Man, I wish I did. She was a glorious, overall-wearing, side-boob showing vision of 70's loveliness. I think she's somehow become prettier in my mind than she was in real life. I've talked to Jerry many times about her since then and he's like "she's was cute and VERY liberated but she wasn't ALL THAT." But I refuse to have my illusions shattered!
  9. If I recall that story correctly, it's a PG story so I think you could tell it in a way that gets the point across without going over what is admittedly a very vague line. Part of my problem is that the archives to which I'd like to donate this collection are wary of any risque' stuff, being state institutions.
  10. I'll just award you the 500 dollar gift certificate now.
  11. Funny stuff, but a bit over the top. I would almost allow it, though, because of the Futureman diss. 😉
  12. So ... my FB page will not be archived. Only that which is on my forum will be preserved. I mean, who knows how long FB will be around? As far as your stuff, it's going to take me awhile (like maybe never) to get things copied from FB to the new place. It would be VERY helpful if you could post it yourself. That photo of that abandoned church in South Texas, for example, could definitely go in the "Beautiful Texas" forum. You've got a ton of shots that could go in there, actually. We're speaking to history!
  13. I thought about contacting them as well. Do you have an "in" with them?
  14. For the last couple of months I've been working on building my new Traces of Texas forum, here: https://forum.tracesoftexas.com/ On March 3, 2036 Texas will be 200 years old. On that date I'll be turning over the forum and its contents to one of the big state archives. I'm still negotiating with three of them regarding which one will get it. The forum will be preserved online in perpetuity ---- my permanent legacy, a gift to Texas and to future historians, geneologists etc.. For those of you who are unaware, I've been creating Traces of Texas for the past 12 years on Facebook and, more recently on Twitter. During that time I've written millions of words regarding Texas history and culture and posted more than 30,000 photos, about 62% of which come from readers of the page. Some of the photos I post are photos that I've taken. Others come from archives like the Library of Congress, the Portal to Texas history etc.. What I'm trying to do with this forum is to do what I've been doing on Facebook and Twitter but in a form that I can leave to the State of Texas and also that readers can have more direct input into. One of the big focal points of my new forum is my one million Texas stories project, here: https://forum.tracesoftexas.com/forum/4-a-million-texas-stories/ I'm trying to collect one million stories about Texas or about Texans between now and March 3, 2036 in order to present them to whatever archive ends up getting all of this. To this end, Marc Consulman is donating a 500 dollar gift certificate to his store, The Texas Boot Company in Bastrop, to be awarded at the end of this year to whomever posts the best Texas story. For those of you who don't know about Marc's store, it is awesome. Because it's not just a story forum but a photography forum, we're doing the same thing for the most beautiful photo of Texas posted in the Beautiful Texas forum, here: https://forum.tracesoftexas.com/forum/11-beautiful-texas/ In other words, whoever submits the most beautiful photo of Texas between now and the end of the year will get a 500 dollar gift certificate to the Texas Boot Company. You can use it for boots, jeans, hats ... whatever you want. They've got a ton of great boots there. I'd be might obliged if all of y'all would consider signing up for an account and posting. I'd also appreciate any feedback regarding the signing up process, the way the forum looks, features that I can add etc... I have big plans for it. The forum operates pretty much like any forum on the internet. It's keyword searchable etc... So far, I've been pretty much the only one who has posted but a few others have already found it, signed up and posted, for which I am very grateful. Given the amount of content that I still have to move from Facebook to the forum, my work is cut out for me. The only real rules are 1) only mild profanity 2) no partisan politics 3) no personal attacks on other readers 4) No porn The Traces of Texas Facebook/Twitter pages are used by 4th and 7th grade Texas history classes for ideas etc.. and, out of deference to them, I'd like to keep it relatively clean. Other than that, it's going to be a sober examination of all aspects of Texas, including the bad stuff (lynchings etc...). I'm trying to tell the story of Texas in the truest way that I know and, of course, the story of Texas isn't all BBQ and cowboys and good stuff. Thanks, amigos.
  15. Crazy. He was always on my mind. Maybe I need to get on the road again.
  16. Have you not seen his extraordinary collection of ties?
  17. Say what you want to about his coaching ability etc.. it's pretty clear to me that nobody out-works Sarkisian.
  18. Plus, this is SurlyHorns. Dealing in incomplete information is sort of our thing.
