Watching gameday reminds me why we are blessed to live in Texas. I don’t know what is uglier in Ohio, the weather or the women…

Senior day for maybe my all time favorite Longhorn. I think he still has a lot of football left in his career but he represents everything that college athletics should be about. Probably not what he envisioned (or what we envisioned) when he arrived at the 40 acres. But his time there won’t soon be forgotten by the Longhorn faithful. Well done Shug. You’ve made all of us proud.

Sorry but the co-mvp thing is weak. There was one player in that district who was EASILY the best. But we live in the day of throw the second place team (or third place or whatever EC was) a bone.

Good post and I don’t disagree with a single word of that. I guess other than one WOS player single-handedly beating the Bears and I don’t disagree with that because I missed that game and can’t confirm or deny it. But I get your point.

And for the record, the Bears are my 4th favorite team in SETX and pull for them in 90% of the games they play. Also have family that plays for them. So definitely not a hater. Some of their fans can be super annoying at times but that’s literally every school (although some have more than others). My original post was an attempt to cheer up the OP and a little trollish at some of our resident Bears. On a bright note, the Bears should be formidable in the other two big sports.

You both lost in the first round of the playoffs and WOS beat you head to head. I know moral victories may be more of a thing north of the interstate, but what are we claiming here? 6-5 vs 5-6? In a year where teams were lined up to get their kicks on the Mustangs like below, the Bears still played the little brother role. You call it being a hater, I call it being non-delusional.

Chin up. Just think, as bad as it was this year, you were still better than LCM. Things could always be worse…

It’s certainly possible. UNC’s 13 scholarship players will all make $1M per year before any individual endorsements. They basically put together a $13M per year annuity. Oscar at UK is making $2.7M. Before NIL, you would think there is no way Bijan Robinson would come back to Texas for another year. Not so sure now.

It really is crazy how quickly things can go south.

Is Toby available?

Not going to win many games with that stat line.

If we don’t figure out how to defend the 3 ball it’s going to be tough. I think they shot 12-36 which is actually low for an opponent. Can’t find the final stats but we were 2-14 at one point. When you play 3 six foot and unders, you better be able to shoot it at a high clip. Because the other team is just going to shoot over you.

That’s a true story 😂 United will be fine. Probably a good thing to get off all that “nationally ranked” meaningless junk. I expect them to be a contender again this year, although the jump from 5A to 6A is significant. As for Booker T, it will come down to them and Silsbee again. Booker T will have done more revamping and Silsbee will still have the best player on the floor. Will likely come down to how well the above referenced player shoots the ball. He is capable of scoring 40 and he’s also capable of delivering double digit air balls. One of the streakiest shooters (especially considering the extremes) I’ve ever seen.

Best fans in the country 😂🤣 #GomersHaveHadEnough

Played MUCH better in a 7 pt overtime loss to West Carolina. Lamar would have lost this game by 20+ if they had played like they did yesterday.

First year as D1. They are….not good. Good news is our staff got their first win against a D1 team…

Good news is we were able to steal one 73-71. Bad news is we play like that it will be a long season.

Struggling with a very weak Lindenwood team. Cards looking like a second to last Southland team.

Do you really think so? Not so hypothetically, if Desantis runs, it will get nasty because that’s Trump’s schtick. Regardless of what anyone thinks of him, he knows one speed and that’s hammer down. So even if he creates disdain for his opponent(s) in the primary, you don’t think the hardcore Trumpers will show up to vote against Biden? That seems hard for me to believe but maybe you’re right.

You forgot babies 😉

Politics is a fickle thing. Desantis is hotter than a pistol. The GOP would be wise to ride a real wave. Just my 2 cents, which is probably worth less than 2 actual cents.

For sure. I know it was an exhibition/scrimmage but when they 30 pieced a really good Arkansas team, my reaction was whoa. Beard’s teams always are elite defensively but this one can really score the ball too. And they have two really talented freshmen who are only going to get better. But I really want them to have a big year because they have one of my all time favorite kids in Jabari Rice. He is just one of those glue guys which was a huge find for the Horns.

7-7

I almost fell out of my chair. I asked the folks I was with when the young man finished, “did we actually just have a prayer at a major college football game.” (LSU was playing Bama). And the fact that it was so shocking is a sad commentary on our society. I tend to agree with my buddy @Hagar and wonder how many of society’s ills can be traced to this absence. And while I do believe in separation of church and state (everyone should have right to choose their own religion or no religion), we are also supposed to be “one nation under God.” And a non-denominational prayer at Death Valley was unbelievably refreshing.
