5 miles you say? 

Do you realize how many strip malls with vape/ cbd store, cell phone store, tanning/massage salon, and a gas station with a wall of six liners that could fit into that amount of space?

I'm slightly exaggerating, but all you left off the list were white-ass Mexican restaurants and liquor stores.

Liquor stores yes, but the restaurant depends upon where you are in the Houston area. 

The one given is a donut shop run by a Vietnamese family and on the counter by the cash register(s) is a Fortune Cat figurine.

Restaurants vary from Mexican to Indian to Pho and you might hit a strip without a restaurant pad, but 2-3 food trucks or a vendor selling produce and Mexican cokes.

Yeah, middle of nowhere is great if it's the right college town.  I never want to live in Lubbock again, but it was great for school.

You shouldn't be able to afford jack shit during college anyhoo...cept beer and ramen.

And pizza. College students can't exist without pizza.

Yes, last year.  I meant to say "would have".

I think the ASU team that had you on the ropes would have handily beaten the Clemson team that you handily beat.

Gotcha, Clemson should be really good this year with Klubnik being the pre-season messiah  to go #1 overall with some folks.

Looks like BYU QB is just gonna withdraw from BYU and enroll at new school... wonder if he'll even play in 2025

QB Jake Retzlaff announces his withdrawal from BYU

Quote

Jake Retzlaff announced on Friday that he's withdrawing from BYU, formally initiating his transfer process from the school.

Retzlaff, BYU's starting quarterback last year, said in an Instagram post that he made the "difficult decision" to withdraw and that he plans to "step away" from the BYU program. The post makes public what had been expected, as Retzlaff began informing his teammates and coaches in late June of his intent to transfer.

According to ESPN sources, Retzlaff's path to transfer to a new school is not expected to come from the NCAA transfer portal. With Retzlaff just short of graduating, which would make the transfer process more traditional, he plans to simply leave BYU and then enroll at a new school.

That path is not a common one, but there's precedent. That includes former Wisconsin defensive back Xavier Lucas leaving school this winter and enrolling at the University of Miami.

Retzlaff expressed his gratitude for his time at BYU, saying "it has meant more to me than just football." He added that he's "excited to turn the page and embrace the next chapter."

BYU officials generally avoided the topic of Retzlaff at Big 12 media days this week, deferring to him to make a statement on his next move.

In a statement on Friday, BYU athletics said: "We are grateful for the time Jake Retzlaff has spent at BYU. As he moves forward, BYU Athletics understands and respects Jake's decision to withdraw from BYU, and we wish him all the best as he enters the next phase of his career."

Retzlaff's departure comes in the wake of BYU's planned seven-game suspension of him for violating the school's honor code.

That suspension arose after he was accused in a lawsuit of raping a woman in 2023. The lawsuit ended up being dismissed on June 30, with the parties jointly agreeing to dismiss with prejudice, but Retzlaff's response included an admission of premarital sex, which is a violation of the BYU honor code.

Retzlaff went 11-2 as BYU's starting quarterback in 2024, throwing for 2,947 yards and 20 touchdowns. His departure leaves BYU with a three-way quarterback race this summer to replace him, with no clear favorite.

Tennessee needs a QB.  Vol booster: "Hey, Jake, come on down. We got  smart coeds that'll help you soak up knowledge."

Unless he graduated or gets a waiver he’ll have to sit out this season. Transfer portal is closed.

Can we just assume Baylor has been in touch?

Well, Joey, here’s what you do- you call them up and try to schedule them. Announcing into the atmosphere, “We want to play LSU home and home” doesn’t make it happen.

No Big 10 or SEC team is interested in a "home & home" series with tech.

Lubbock sucks...  

Joey's real problem is TV isn't interested in a LSU vs Tech game. Or Tech in general.

Well, they’ve certainly owned the summer news cycle. There’s no doubt they’ll be big the coming season - big good or big bad, They will be big.

Tech been back to back Big 12 off season champs and hasn't sniffed anything else but hey, maybe this is the year? Best team money can buy sets foot on the field in Lubbock at the end of August. How long till Joey's seat starts glowing white hot with that kind of payroll if Tech seems to be headed towards another 7 or 8 win season?

Joey's real problem is Joey and that he doesn't understand the crap that worked at Cedar Hill isn't going to work in college.  

There are on Claude Mathis on the other side of the field.

Tech’s OOC is also dickless this year. UAPB, Kent State and then Oregon State. OSU is a shell of itself, Kent State is likely still the worst FBS team even with Missouri State and Delaware joining the ranks. UAPB is irredeemable and an FCS school. 

The Big 12 is of course going to be its own unique self again, with a ton of parity. I still think the talking heads are overrating Utah by stating that they’re a borderline top 25 team. Maybe with Dampier they’re a force again. Tech goes to Utah, off, to UH, then Kansas and to ASU. If you told me Tech would go 4-0 in that stretch, I could believe it. If you told me they could 0-4, I could believe that as well. 

I think that stretch defines their season. If they’re 4-3 after the first seven, I can see the usual Tech/Maguire mediocrity setting in and, BAM!, 7-5. If they come out 6-1, the rest of the schedule looks more forgiving and they’re probably playing for the conference title. Outside of Baylor, I will literally be cheering for anyone else to beat Tech to win that conference.

The consensus is McGuire has to make to the Big 12 Championship to save his job, right?

From my perspective, the consensus is FUCK Joey Football, but I think your consensus is more accurate.
