  1. Indeed. But my point is that nobody is writing a story about the other 84 guys on scholarship who are apparently loyal to Tennessee and aren’t creating drama. Because that isn’t remarkable or attention getting. They’re writing about the one headass who’s causing drama because that’s what people want to read about. That distorts the problem making it seem more widespread than it is.
  2. There’s a “man bites dog” thing going on here, which makes the situation seems worse than it is. Plenty of players still love their program and school, but that doesn’t make for an interesting headline. We hear way more about the drama. Not saying everything is hunky dory, just that it isn’t as bad as it seems.
  3. Gruntling. I'm probably dumb for thinking this way, but I always assume that Stanford players will be hard workers / good culture fits.
  4. “There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body."
  5. Regarding snowcones - tigers blood and cream from the place that used to be on south Lamar right at Barton Springs. Snow Beach? @closetojumping - I'll take the bet. Sounds like the terms are if White Chocolate goes 750 yards or over in any season, I win. If he never hits 750, you win. Is $20 worth your time or do I have to bet like an adult and wager $100?
  6. That is a reasonable concern, and I think you phrased it respectfully enough. That being said, this is like his 4th kid. They get easier as you go, especially when the older kids aren’t toddlers anymore. Plus having millions and millions of dollars makes everything easier.
  7. Now that you mention it, I think I will have another scotch.
  8. Glad I could clear it up for you then
  9. I mean, that’s the joke. It’s intentional.
  10. I heard this too but wasn't sure what to make of it. Nahlin said it was potentially something we'd be happy about, but... it's Nahlin. So almost certainly bullshit.
  11. Stop taking the @Helobious bait. You guys should know better.
  12. CBS has published it's SEC win totals: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/2025-sec-win-totals-odds-picks-predictions-for-every-team-as-alabama-georgia-texas-lead-pack/ Bama - 9.5 Pig - 5.5 Barn - 7.5 Gators - 6.5 UGA - 9.5 UK - 4.5 LSU - 8.5 MSU - 3.5 (0 conference wins projected) Misery - 7.5 OU - 6.5 Ole Miss - 8.5 USCe - 7.5 Vols - 9.5 Aggies - 7.5 Vandy - 4.5 Texas: Over/under 9.5 Wins: San Jose State, UTEP, Sam Houston, at Florida, Oklahoma, at Kentucky, at Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Texas A&M Losses: at Ohio State, at Georgia Analysis: Before we discuss Arch Madness, let's focus on a few issues the Longhorns must address this offseason. Texas breaks in a new offensive line and must replace two of its top three receivers and two stellar defensive tackles. That said, the Longhorns have recruited exceptionally well and hit on some big pickups in the transfer portal, setting Arch Manning up for a big debut season as the full-time starting quarterback. Many will project Texas' season based on its performance in the season opener at Ohio State, but we'll use that as a barometer rather than a judgment call. In fact, we're picking a loss. The toughest games on the schedule are at Georgia and Florida. We see a path to 10 wins, but barely. Pick: Over 9.5 (-200)
  13. Nice. So he talked to teams beforehand and they told him not to run another 40 if he didn't feel 100%. Makes complete sense and also suggests that he doesn't need to run a great 40 time.
  14. In addition to a distinct lack of JAGs compared to a few years ago, it's also nice to see ages distributed evenly, especially on defense. We have a good mix of veterans, risers, and quality neophytes. Just good goddamn healthy roster right there.
  15. Honestly, he's been my favorite longhorn since Sam. Even more than Bijan, although I'm aware that's practically sacrilege.
