Finebaum: Texas is 'absolutely' the favorite to win the national championship​

Not sure I care much what he says, but would prefer everyone picked someone else, the team doesn't need any extra rat poison.

Great teams on paper usually don't meet expectations.

So Ohio State called up CDC and asked if Texas would agree to move our game from Noon Saturday to Prime Time Sunday.

Texas said no.

Of course OSU wanted a night game at the shoe. No thanks.

The schools don’t decide the game time. The TV execs that picked that game for that network do.

Does it matter? This is eye candy, regardless.

Quote from CJ Vogel on RB CJ Baxter . . .

"I am a bit worried on the availability of CJ Baxter for the fall after some digging this weekend."

Says if we get anything from Baxter this season it will be found money.

My son was Henry Cavill's double in Man of Steel. Funny story how he got the part. He was in the Air Force at the time. He and some of his friends volunteered to help on the set where they were filming the movie. They were moving and lifting things. He said some man walked up and started staring at him. He knew he was part of the movie, but didn't know who he was. The man asked him if he would take off his shirt. His friends whispered and teased him, "Yes, take off your shirt, big boy." He took off his shirt. The man asked if he would turn to his right. He did. Now, turn to your left. Now face me. My son, a sargent, was about to tell the man that is enough when the man asked him if he wanted to be Henry Cavill's double. At first he thought it was a prank. My son asked him, "Who are you?" The man replied, "I'm Zack Snyder. I'm the director."

We once had a long time poster here who went by the screen name "Shevis Regal." He was a great guy and I had the pleasure of meeting him in person one day soon after I joined here many years ago. He was a part-time actor who worked in several movies.

In the movie "The Alamo" with Dennis Quaid playing Sam Houston, he played one of the Texians in Sam Houston's circle. He is in several scenes with Quaid. None of them were talking roles. Nonetheless, tthere he was.

lol, he told me Quaid was the "biggest jerk I ever met." Screaming at people all the time. Making demands all the time. He said he was glad when the filming was finished because of him and his antics.

He passed away a few years back after a long battle with an illness. Sure miss his takes on this board.

My uncle, while rodeoing in south Texas, signed up as an extra in the Alamo movie. They put a fake mustache on him. He was one of Santa Anna's calvary riders.

A high school friend of mine did the same. He was part of the rubber gun brigade. He had a couple of scenes in the movie. In 2 of the shots, he was a dead body. A buddy of his actually got a speaking part--but it was cut from the final movie.

A co-worker went to school with the Quaids. He pretty much said the same thing. He said Dennis was conceited and an a$$hole, but Randy was cool.

Not quite the Alamo, but my son was an extra in the TV show “Friday Night Lights” when they filmed around Bastrop.
