Very questionable Big XII referee, who also called the Alabama game, is headed to the NFL.

He will fit in perfectly in the NFL. That game is scripted

I remember when I was a wee lad (lol), around 18 years old and working for the media. Me and a photographer were sent to do a big story on the Von Erichs vs Free Birds rivalry, which included attending a series of matches.

I was in disbelief while shooting some photos, that I was hearing the wrestlers communicate with each other, telling the other guy what the next move was. lol

My life was never the same after that. lol

In case anyone besides me, is interested, there is also a pretty decent golf course on Lake Fork, Links of Lands End. 

I play there weekly.

Never was into golf. Last played at Weisbaden air base 1989 Sunny spring day and Bitburher was cold.

Soon be too hot for golf, too hot to fish and too old at home.

I like playing when it’s hot, less people out there. Best day is morning tee time and finish the evening fishing or vice versa.

The fishing is ok. The too hot part is from a country song but it says too cold at home. One of my attempts at humor gone wrong. except for UTFish.

Since the 2023 Recruiting thread is off the main page, I'll put this here. For all of y'all that voiced your doubts about Trevor Goosby, and I won't name names, he has blossomed. Last year he was 6'6" and weighed in the high 240's, threw a shot put in the mid 40's. This spring he is 6'7.5" and 285. Threw a shot put 57'. Flood knows what he's looking for. He did it at Alabama and now Texas. All this is per Gerry Hamilton.

IMO Coach Flood's room is most improved one on the team.

A fitting tribute for Lance Blanks from his daughter. RIP.

Flood has earned himself a lot of leeway. He has brought in some dudes and improved the OL play drastically. Once the high 4 stars and 5 stars develop and take over, this OL could be great.

Perhaps. Perhaps Urban is trying to set up Sark. Personally I don't buy anything Urban says. 

Evidently I'm not the only one who has suspicions about Urban.

WR's still have a way to go as for as on field preformance. Might not be all thier fault.

I did not realize that he had taken his own life, so tragic and sad.

I don't agree with this. X, Mitchell and Whittington would make any WR room great. Add to that Neyor, Cook, Moore Jr and Niblett

You are proably right. Other than Whitt and X (who has not been consistant) the others have done nothing on the field. Great potential.

The OL had a pretty good year.

Just thinking about offense right now,

WR is stacked with current and future talent

OL is stacked with current and future talent

RB is stacked with current and future talent

QB is stacked with current and future talent

TE after Jatavaion Sanders we lack big time difference makers. 

On defense, feels similar except the one spot lacking is d-line.

Except for catching TD passes in the national championship game. But yeah, he's done nothing. lol

When he does that at Texas I will agree. Last time I looked scoreing for the  Bull Dogs does not help Horns at all.
