  1. There still are some Catholics who think it’s messing with God’s will.
  2. Yes, I think that Mitchell is in a tough position. If he feels like he needs another year he almost can’t risk spending it with this staff given the questions about his development.
  3. Yes, I agree. RT certainly could put together a good roster via the portal. Guy at Tech did it this year. But, you also have to acknowledge some real and practical headwinds to him doing so.
  4. Using logic, history and experience to lead to a negative prognostication has nothing to do with being a negative person or trying to drag people down. It’s just a fucking opinion based upon the above. Now, a person who willfully ignores those things can be anything from happy to delusional.

    Texas Primaries

    Whats the guy running against Garza’s position on weed? Abandoning weed prosecutions is about the only thing I think Garza got right. Plus it pisses off Paxton.
  6. I agree. In fact, I don’t even think he’s the short term solution.
  7. They are too busy chatting over the free food and coffee at the Rudy’s on Lamar. Roll my eyes every time I see them all SWAT’ed up with tactical gear.
  8. We won’t materially until RT is run off.
  9. Not arguing the point but our AAU intermediaries sure didn’t think so.
  10. We didn’t have our shit together with NIL for some reason with high school recruiting at the end of last season. One of the two couldn’t qualify for school. I heard that Tito got us straight so it’s hoped that we can get them to sign. The number I was told for one of them should be competitive with most other options at this point.
  11. PK is exactly why I really would not be surprised if we take a step backwards next year.
  12. I wish we would just move on and get a better coach than RT and be done with this discussion.
  13. MAGA owns Speaker of House, about to take Senate Minority and at least part of SC. If Trump wins this shit is over with.
  14. I stand by seeing him with the Commodores was one of the best concerts I have ever seen.
  15. I remember quite fondly just walking up and getting a front row ticket. There were so few people there that the players and refs could actually hear what you were yelling at them. Good times.
  16. Ok, so maybe he's not the worst coach but he's in the bottom quarter. Yeah, whomever could not put a talented team together after finishing in EE last year sure screwed Terry over.
  17. I have had two kids get in. They went to a large competitive public high school. It’s my suspicion that admissions has a preference for these schools. At least when they got in, UT gave applicants two scores. One, being scholalastic (test score, GPA, class rank) and the other being holistic (essay, resume, references etc). These are some things I learned: Get someone to help the kid with their essays. If nothing else it keeps them on task so it’s not all crammed in and rushed. It should be a process and written over time which allows for further thought and just a better overall presentation. Get some work experience in the field that you are applying for a major in. Does not have to be a 9-5 job. Maybe it was just an unpaid internship during the summer. Or, ask someone in the field if they can shadow them for a couple of weeks and call it an internship. They seem to like kids who show some interest in their field by actually going out and learning something about it. My kids actually started a small business selling some things that they were making. Had them in some stores locally. Not a huge deal but it did make their resume tie into their proposed major. Encourage your kid to try for a leadership position in any student group they are in. You should also prepare them for people that they know who appear to be less qualified academically to get in. It really all comes down to how competitive their major is. Comparing the average stats needed to get into business vs social work is really apples vs oranges. Letters of recommendation are worthless unless they come from a teacher who has greater than normal insight into the student and can offer some unique perspective.
  18. As I recall, Rotton.com was the first website I ever saw.
  19. I let my kids live in West Campus. They are graduating in May. Our house is 20 min from campus. It was better for them that they were independent and not living at home. Quite frankly, I didn’t want to take away the whole college experience by making them live at home. It would have made it far less enjoyable for them.
  20. I get it. I mean if it did, I don’t think a ton of people would be surprised. But you just seem especially eager to have it happen. Almost like it would be pleasing to you. Just an observation.
