    I hear that Cal Tech, University of Chicago, and Harvard are going to look into joining the SEC. You know, you can't drive admissions without a good football program. 

    Yep

    like most of the other schools of higher learning,

    they can only look….

    I had a broken hand once. I remember that when I was on my way to work I'd always make wrong turns and drive either too fast or too slow depending on the speed limit. 

    Probably not a worthy employee..

  3. A little off topic but…..

    revile gets tossed into the trash heap of Pyle field when it goes to the farm.

     

    what happens to Bevo when it’s days on earth are over???

    buried???

    bbq ???

    stuffed???

    head/horns mounted???

    it’s simple ( like a aggy) to dispose of a dead dog like revile.

    But what happens to the 1800 lb  plus Bevo at the end of its days???

    There will be a wide receiver added to the roster. Just like there will be a safety added to the roster and potentially a second wide receiver.

    I don't necessarily agree with some of their personnel decisions of who to go after/not go after, but it's clear we have eyes on the portal and are looking to upgrade the roster when available. We did not offer Gavin Holmes immediately, but we liked what we saw when we did our research, offered, got him on campus and convinced him to forgo other visits he had planned and shut it down. We saw Ja'Had Carter enter, immediately jumped on him and got him down for a visit a few days later. It didn't work out but it wasn't for a lack of aggression.

    Coming off back to back top 3 classes, the needs should be shrinking and the baseline talent of the roster should be raised to the point where immediate difference makers should be the focus. And just because a guy was a difference maker in the MAC, Sun Belt, FCS or Conference USA doesn't mean he would be a difference maker at Texas. Every player is different. Last year, it was trying to upgrade any position on the roster outside of RB. This year, the needs are a lot more focused to 2 or 3 areas. We now know from the last two portal classes that adding jags to the roster as "depth" accomplishes very little and more often than not our existing players on the roster end up being better than them anyway (hi Ovie Oghoufo, Ray Thornton, Ben Davis, DTD, Billingsley, Hall).

    There are absolutely guys that have entered or who are currently in the portal that can play here so if we want to wring our hands over that or the positions we are or aren't focusing on then I guess that's fine, but I don't know how anyone can believe the coaches are satisfied with where the roster sits and just kicking their feet up when they just told our starting BUCK for the last 2 years that it would probably be best if he found a new home.

    It's been said they would be probably be looking for 3-4 more guys, and they would be smart to save at least 1 and maybe 2 of those spots for the post spring window. So that leaves, what, 1 or 2 guys to be added by the end of this month?

    You get the award for saying in 5,000 words what I said in two sentences.

    I guess once they’ve gotten you to purchase the diamonds, complimentary rearranging of said jewels is a no brainer.

    The stones aren’t diamonds.

    they are Moissanites  or hi end Swarovski cz’s

    the money is in the metal.

    Easy to remelt and remake

    hopefully like #1 next year…

    Saw these bands many times in Austin and Dallas, too (if my memory is correct). Club Foot was great for new wave/electronic music, many groovy new wave women wearing 80s-style ankle boots. Hole in the Wall for drinks and shooting pool on week nights when you blew off going to the library.

    Loved club foot, but hated the elevated front sidewalk wich I fell off of a time or two

    or three….

    Why would he spend what looks like well into the 6 figures on a jewelry piece only to change his number less than 1 month after delivery? Maybe I'm just the dumb one here. 

    It may look like a six figure jewelry piece,  but it’s more like a 4 figure piece, and I’m sure that he can more than afford that.

    Chick left his ass for hours on the side of the road, dumped his weed and beer out, then started attacking him.

    You gtfo immediately and either call the cops then or the next day and get a restraining order.

    Continuing to escalate and kick her out is a terrible move. Sure defend yourself when a knife is drawn, or better yet gtfo before the knife is drawn and the need to punch a woman comes up. Why invite legal or physical harm?

    Equal rights

    equal fights

    How much worse can it get?  Buffs were 1-11 last year and probably should have been 0-12.  The team was marshmallow soft and some of them said it was the most fun they've had playing football.  They were at rock bottom.  Only one way to go from here.

    I can agree.

    while prime cut, prime rib, prime number,  or prime whatever he’s called    Probly won’t be a disaster cuz in all honestly just gotta win 2 games next year to be better.
