  1. Yeah it omits the whole "built and maintained a HS dynasty right in the middle of our prime recruiting area" and "is a proven rainmaker at a the highest level" and c'mon, UTSA and UH are not comparable. One has a past as a perennial top 20 team and is year-in, year-out a top mid-major (on a tier barely below Cincinnati and Louisville) in a city brimming over with local recruits, while the other has almost no history and is in a mediocre recruiting area on the edge of a wasteland. One guy's players seem to really love that coach, as does the entire university, while the other is a dick. I hate this broad-brush thinking as if certain bullet points define people, and especially after one bad loss.
  2. Also, RR QB Frank Harris got knocked out....Their fans say UAB left them pretty battered too.
  3. Lubbock... Child custody, undefeated issues at play A gun A dude named Chad and a dude named Kyle. Inevitably, there would be bloodshed.
  4. Coaches hate this shit because it makes them and their schemes look stupid, but if we lined up with RoJo running variants of a mutant single-wing 1930s offenses we would smash most teams we played. The Lynx Hawthorne Baylor team Charlie slugged it out with in one of the most World War I-like games since WWI itself collected itself and took down an 11-2 Carolina Tar Heels bunch. Reggie Jefferson was the Baylor QB and he ran for 300 of Baylor's 645 yards. Roschon, Keilan, and some of our walk-ons could do the same against a MAC team or equivalent, I am sure. (Will Brooks be back? Can any of our LBs run the ball? I remember Gbenda fucked around at RB when everyone was hurt last year. If Bijan could be back he would probably run for 350.) Baylor broke a vintage Nebraska record for rushing yards en route to a 49-38 win. It's just a dumb way to play football but now it's so dumb it's genius. Or at least it was with Briles running the offense, but he had a similar one against us a few weeks before and Charlie kept them under 20 points, partially because we were running the same offense with Swoopes and so every drive seemed to take 12 minutes off the clock.
  5. A trusted source recommends Lala's Gorditas on Roosevelt on the South Side. Lala is long gone but her descendants still run the kitchen. Cheese enchiladas and guacamole cups. IDK what those are -- like a little tortilla bowl with guacamole in it? This lady is old school SA and said this place made her weep.
  6. It's a Koufax case but not as long or quite as dominant. Close, but no cigar.
  7. Interesting. On the one hand you have a guy who was handed a ten/eleven-win team and has kept it there but has no experience with the kind of turmoil he's going to inherit in BR nor deep ties to the state. On the other you have a scrapper from next door. I am not saying Riley's a bad coach but aside from Ryan Day no coach today has had to prove less than Riley. He's kept a fine-tuned machine running (largely with one-year rentals at QB) at blowU but LSU is in chaos right now. Coming in to the SEC negates some of LSU's recruiting advantage and prestige in the polls. If I am Riley it would take a lot of money to make that move. (Given that I am not Riley, I would work for less money in BR because it is not in Oklahoma.)
  8. Yeah I was unclear with my post. I meant "why wasn't it on there on the bottom rung," not "where would it theoretically fit."
  9. One of my Jewish friends begs me to tell him any anti-Semitic jokes I've heard recently. I've told him five or ten over the years and usually he tells me the punchline before I get there. He's heard them all and loves them.
  10. This is one of my cardinal rules about pitching. If you are going to give up a home run, do it before you let people get on base. If people are on base, don't give up a home run. A friend of mine was in jail one time and this young Black kid was flipping out about the toilet, which was right in the middle of the tank and kind of raised up so everybody could see you. "What? I got to shit in that thing? For real? Ain't know way I'm shitting in that thing, just ain't know way. I just ain't gonna shit...." He was so freaked out he was practically crying. And old Morgan Freeman type came over and put his hand around his shoulder. "Oh, you gon' shit, boy," he said. "You gon' shit." This is where my mind goes when something terrible is inevitably going to happen.
  11. I tend to believe people are the same wherever you go. Sure, they might have different politics or whatever, but no one area the size of Waco in America is any more or less donwright batshit insane than any other. But then Waco keeps Wacoin' on. I have it on pretty good authority -- the ex DA's entirely insane ex-wife -- that barely ten percent of the weird shit that goes on up there ever makes the papers. Way back in the 19th Century, Baylor had more churches per capita than anywhere else. Also more whorehouses. That sounds like legend but it's true. The crazy is everywhere. The courthouse. Rapelor. The Bar. I am sure city hall and the county government are real peaches too.
  12. Mid level Boss Karen energy there. Defeating her levels you halfway up.
  13. This. This is why I am slightly less concerned about a lone holdout than Brisket. The powers of persuasion of the rest of the jury would be brought firmly to bear on that person, who'd need to have an iron will to cling to that position all alone. Now if there are two or three of them on there...
  14. I saw one of those on a truck in the parking lot of my grandmother's Catholic nursing home in Houston inside of five years ago. Beaumont dealer tags (shrugs)
  15. Brisket started a long thread on the shit like this from our childhood.... "Ding-dong-ditch" was not always called that. (And that's a stupid name, but of course better than the old one.) About 80 percent* of males young and old in the Houston of the '80s had some kind of night-stick type club within reach in their cars / trucks that had a name remarkably similar to that of the prank above. You'd hear expressions like "busier than a pair of jumper cables at a nine-car n****r funeral" every so often. My maternal grandfather would not say hard-r in front of ladies but he would when we were alone. In an '80s version of owning the Libs he would say "darkies" and "nigras" in front of his wife and daughters. And that is just a few things, and confined to Black people. You should have heard how we talked about the Jews at Brisket and my alma mater. One thing comes to mind -- if you asked a buddy for 50 cents and he wouldn't give it to you, we'd commonly put our fist in the middle of our forehead and crook our arm, thereby giving the appearance of an enormous nose. I'd say at school, casually anti-Semitic language was far more common than racist talk. It wasn't considered cool, and there were enough Black kids there to where we all at least got along with some of them or maybe were even friends. I used to think there was one Jew at that school in the four years I was there -- I mean, his last name is Marx -- but I looked him up and he is now a Russian Orthodox priest so there goes that idea.
  16. Yeah and fuck the anonymity part. I want to know who I am pointing and laughing at. Defeats the whole purpose IMO.
  17. Franklin's whole rep is built on a brief window when Vanderbilt allowed him to recruit grades / character risks and it wound up blowing up in his face with that rape scandal, but not before he came to be regarded as a genius coach for doing less with more at Vandy. He got out while the getting was good and Vandy is back to recruiting two-stars on various honor rolls and they have returned from whence they came. This friend of mine, a Black attorney who graduated from Vandy back in the day, told me that she was tutoring some of the Florida kids Franklin was getting and was absolutely astonished that they got into Vandy. They could barely read, she said.
  18. Throw in Blair Cherry's four years (32-10-1) with Orange, Cotton and Sugar Bowl bids should count for something. Ed Price had three good-to-great years following that (23-8, 1.5 SWC titles) before he fell apart and ended up 1-9. So that's seven years -- the better part of a decade -- of Blue Blood play between Bible and Royal though split between two coaches, one of whom ended up a historic disaster. This really is silly and idk why a Kansas fan would be interested enough in our program to play this game. Let's take Wilkinson, Switzer and Stoops out of OU and see where they stand.
  19. Unless Sark goes full Chris Beard on a football-sized scale, next year's team will be as bad or worse than this year's. I really think we should prepare ourselves for that and accept it and hope Sark can start to turn it around in year three. Or we can fire him and hire Traylor before he makes it back to San Antonio. In a perfect world, we send Sark and Traylor and their staffs and our boosters and CDC down to Mexico to go do jungle drugs with a shaman and destroy their egos for a weekend, and then all would see that logically Traylor should be HC, Sark his OC, and then we work out the rest of the details based on what is good for the ailing program and not for egos and bottom lines. Make a chimera of the Roadrunner Longhorn spirit animals, a Roadhorn Longrunner if you will.
  20. A big part of that 7th ranking as that turd of 2019 class that ranked 3rd nationally but was probably tenth before call camp thanks to Bru flipping back to USC and the medical retirements of Floyd and that RB from GA. And by now it should be about 90th for how little that class has brought to the program. So those should be our seniors, our juniors don't look much better, our sophs are a transition class, and then we have Sark's first class. Prepare thy anus for Roadrunner cock. Meep meep, motherfucker.
  21. Orgeron fits this category, strictly speaking.
