  1. Well, they needed that little push over the cliff…and got it.
  2. Other kids are Tory Blalock, who is a fantastic athlete and D1 RB recruit, then a kid going to Iowa for track, and another to TCU for track. Watkins on the anchor. We were there. Perfect conditions and a perfectly executed race.
  3. Texas Relay will be light on High School this year because of its proximity to District meets. The Bluebonnet Invitational at A&M was the proxy for the Relays this year. We are a bit bummed that little Tufnel will not be competing. Most District meets will be running prelims day one, field events day two, and finals day three. If it’s only Tues. Thurs. most likely they are building in a rain day just in case.
  4. I was there. Perfect conditions and a perfectly executed race. Texas (Houston in particular) has some serious speed.
  5. One of the best. Begins with protagonist singing “I am trying to break your heart.” Ends with: “I have reservations, about so many things, but not about you.”
  6. Believe it or not, you can sway Saturday game times when you are known/have a strong team. The more you play at a high level and win, you can ask for later games (especially if you are traveling). Not always the case but it happened for us often.
  7. Few things light the fire to put a really strong team together more than wanting to avoid the 8-10am games on Saturday and Sunday.
  8. See, so this is pretty cool. Any specifics on the Henley appearance to share with the group?
  9. Is that the guy that orchestrates/plays the Kennedy Center Honors every year on acoustic guitar?
  10. This could be an entirely different discussion. With Dodge, this was the plan all along. Sit out 1-2 years so that his TRS would kick in. Then because he was out for more than 1 year, he continues to get TRS and whatever LL pays him so, he double dips. As for how they compensate. Anything approved by the school board is public. However, it is usually relatively easy to have a booster in a school district that has close ties in some way, shape, or form to a car dealership. Coach gets a lease-free car to drive around every X-thousand miles and then repeats that again and again. That is not part of the school district’s compensation package. That, in and of itself, is fairly substantial. That is the main effort to compensate that I am aware of off the top of my head.
  11. He has already been making the rounds (Miss St and Neb. that I am aware of). That $1MM number you have heard is not his offers but it is his “ask.”
  12. Well, at least we know who broke into the Colorado locker room at the Rose Bowl.
  13. And who the hell knew that Frank Zappa was an Oilers fan? Awesome.
  14. Without question. But more than likely it was due to sitting down with Brennan Thompson over the prior months to get a better idea of what UT does.
  15. Is anyone? I shan't play with another.
  16. If this is from the 90’s, Is that Benjamin Orr on bass?
