    Fuck Leinhart and Bush!

    And man... will any team have a secondary as good as that 2005 Texas team?  

    Michael Griffin-  1st rounder

    Michael Huff- 1st rounder and Thorpe winner

    Aaron Ross- 1st rounder and Thorpe winner

    Cedric Griffin- 2nd rounder

    Tarell Brown-  5th rounder

    Not only were they all highly drafted, all had very healthy careers as NFL starters.

    I saved the post game ESPN reaction and several of the ESPN pieces from the next day.  I think I enjoy those as much as re-watching the game.

    ESPN should add those.

     

     

    On my old iPod I used to have mp3s of the first couple hours of the Dan Patrick and Mike and Mike ESPN radio shows from the next morning. They were great.

    read the last 3 pages and didnt see anything about this story.

    at least 28 out of 70 spring breakers who took a chartered flight to Mexico 16 days ago have tested positive,  the vast majority of them are UT students......

    willing to bet at least a few of these folks have instagrams showing at least some covid related stupidity.....

     

     

    Was discussed on pages 546 and 547 and I said this earlier, but some Texas Pom girls that I follow on IG scrubbed their accounts of any pictures from a beach trip over Spring Break.  I'm not positive it was Cabo or any of the same people but it was a large group of UT students.

  4. For research purposes only, I follow some Texas Pom members on instagram, and noticed a few of them posting pictures of a group beach vacation a few weeks ago.  The pictures were lovely, but I was left shaking my head.

    Interestingly, now I can't seem to find any of those posts on their accounts anymore. Some of the stuff was on their stories so goes away, but maybe they're not so proud of the trip now that everyone brought COVID back with them?

  5. Coronavirus is really gonna do a number on plans for WDW going forward.  Post from a usually credible insider over at WDWmagic

    I know I said I wouldn't be posting anything during the pandemic, but I received some information about the severity of cuts coming for projects at WDW. I thought I'd make a brief post about that, although there are much more important issues in the world today. I likely won't be checking in often for conversation, but I may reply from time to time.

    What's Likely to Be Completed:

    • Tron Coaster
    • Guardians of the Galaxy Coaster
    • Cinderella Castle Retheme
    • Ratatouille
    • Space 220

    What's Likely to Be Delayed:

     

    • Innoventions Demo
    • MFSR Update
    • Harmonious

    What's Currently Being Looked at for Abandonment:

     

    • Mary Poppins Expansion
    • Moana Expansion
    • Unannounced Journey Into Imagination Upgrade
    • Star Wars Hotel
    • Galaxy's Edge Expansions / Upgrades
    • Spaceship Earth Refurb
    • Wonders of Life Pavilion Retheme
    • Coco Attraction
    • Reflections Lakeside Lodge
    • Every other potential addition not listed here

    Furthermore, Disney is currently working on a plan for what re-opening WDW looks like. Every week it is shut down, it becomes more difficult to reopen. In the best case scenario where WDW can be reopened in May, while still taking massive precautions during a global pandemic, this is the general outline:

    Magic Kingdom reopens with 50% capacity. No parades, no fireworks, no indoor theaters, significant number of rides down.
    Epcot not currently planned to reopen with the other parks.
    DHS reopens with 40% capacity. No parades, no indoor theaters.
    Animal Kingdom reopens with 50% capacity. No indoor theaters.
    No plans to reopen Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon in the near term.
    All ride vehicles would require mandatory wipe down once in station.
    No character meets.
    Distancing encouraged.

     

    We have a trip booked for late July.

  6. Seems likely, but I'd guess they'll go to rent/buy on demand for a month or two at around $24.99 before heading to Disney plus. Onward had a two week gap between PPV and Disney plus (April 3), but it also did have a brief stint in theaters before shit hit the fan.

    Mulan was supposed to be out already (March 27) anyway.

     

  7. Yep, I believe all the Austin muni courses are open for walking golf. No amenities, no flagsticks. And totally free.

    How crowded was the course?

    When I went to Lions around noon or so yesterday, there were people around the course but mostly twos and singles.  When I got there a twosome was teeing off and I started just after them so didn't really have to wait, other than them playing slow. I only the played the front 9, but when I got done 1:30ish it seemed a bit busier, some groups were lined up at #1 and saw another group start at #10 to avoid waiting.

    Lions was well maintained too and there were people tending the course.  I went to Mo Willie on Monday or Tuesday and the course was in rough shape, greens were brutal with weeds and stuff.  Was pretty wet from rain though too.

    we had a french exchange student with us in 2017 and 2018. i've been chatting with her...she fled Paris and got to her parents in the french countryside last week (sounds like a movie, wow)...said france is in 'lockdown'.

    she said one of the reasons she left the city was because...they ran out of toilet paper. 

    so...anybody thinking it's just dumb americans...apparently TP hoarding is a human affliction 🤣

    No, Brits hoarding it too apparently.  But we can just use newspapers if we have to, like this lady did in WW2.
