    I went on the hunt for some UT gear over the past couple of days. Almost nothing is available in Houston as far as I can tell. Obviously it's right after Christmas and we're doing well but still I was shocked at the low inventory at places like Academy and Dick's. What little inventory they had was crap. If I was XS and 3XXL, I may have been able to buy a hoodie.

    I also assume that Tillman Fertitta must own some compromising photos of the Academy CEO. There were endless UH inventory at Academy. Whoever is in charge of inventory mix should be fired.

    But hey, Houston is most likely in the top 3 locations where UT grads/fans live. Why should I expect otherwise.  Rant over, any suggestions where to buy UT gear in Houston?

    Last few times I've gone to academy, I've trolled the manager pretty hard bc they have aisles upon racks of Aggy clearance  items and hardly anything in Longhorn gear.

    Is that company owned by Aggies? They seem to stock all their locations as if they're in BCS.

  2. Texas is in a great position to make some student athletes very wealthy outside the current model. I think the real money will roll into NIL when the players figure out how to monetize brand endorsement and social media. 

    Austin is one of the biggest media markets without pro sports (I like Austin FC, but come on.) Longhorn athletes can fill the same TV roles as Spurs and Astros in their respective markets. And our alumni base is huge for turbo-charging an influencer's follows/subs. Remember within weeks of NIL openning, the richest athlete in NCAA was the stupid-hot LSU gymnast with a ton of IG spank-bankers.

    Currently, athletes are just working out base salaries. They'll be making a shit-ton when this gets sophisticated. And UT Austin is in as good a position as any uni to dominate.

    Oh boy, watching tonight's IT livestream & Nahlin didn't even know what a SuperChat is. After Joe Cook explained to him what a SuperChat is, Nahlin tells the audience to not waste their money on SuperChats & get an IT sub instead. LOL.

    Nahlin may have a point there. Last week Bobby Burton's wife gave him a $50 Super Chat to poke fun at him. Afterwards he said the joke's on her because she just gave 20 bucks to YouTube. If YouTube is skimming 40% off the top of those super chats I'd want my customers to spend their money elsewhere too.

    That said, Nahlin's a douche.

    Cook didn't come across very well in that press conference to me.  He sounded like a passive aggressive asshat. He conveniently left out several facts about our players and team to help support his whiny sounding points.  Compare his press conference with Kelly Sheffield's after Wisconsin lost.  Sheffield showed quite a bit more class imo.  So did his players.

    #5 for Nebraska is really mouthy and cocky, but all she could do was mumble and cry after that ass whipping. Youthful silliness maybe, but I doubt they change that much.

    #5 is a freshman I think so I won't hold it against her. She has great potential if she transfers to Texas. But as long as that ass-hat, Cook, is her coach I don't have much hope for her.

    What pun.

    I was just pontificating on the state of their search.

    Yeah, maybe you were just being literal.

    I guess the catholics have run out of internal candidates and need to branch out to protestant and secular society to be able to touch more boys. 

    🤣

    Looks to me listings on SeatGeek are up from 1,400 to 1,800 since yesterday, with rock-bottom price dropping from $582 to $531. Once roughly 26K people from each school get their hands on tix we should see a pretty significant dip. I’m shooting for about $125 over face before I pull the trigger….

    EDIT - 26K total, not from each school

    Does anyone know the timing of the ticket release? When should we be sitting on the app hitting refresh to find the best deal for Championship tickets?

    Kid: Mom, guess what?!?!?!?!? I played catch with Bijan Robinson!!!!

    Mom: No way???? Did your dad get capture that moment on video?

    Dad: What?

    I'd be that dad too. There's something to be said for living in and enjoying the moment. Someone else obviously got it on video.

    Bitch about spill that jar of iced puke. Was she trying to show you what's working on? Who sits in that posture?

  9. Man, watching the Nebraska post-game interview and that team was bitter. Even the coach was making shady comments about our match with Tennessee and how Texas was reloaded with transfers. FFS he even seemed butt-hurt about Asjia coming back after playing international and getting extra playing time from it.

    Best part is when one player says they'll win the next 3 you can here the other say through rageful tears, "fuck yeah!".

    It will be fun to see a rematch with those girls in the next few years. They will bring their A-game next time.
