If you don't have cable access to the Longhorn Network for this weekend's or any other Longhorn game, you can get a five day free trial on Playstation Vue. You do not have to have a playstation console. You can access Vue over your Roku or equivalent device. Vue is equivalent in cost monthly to Hulu Plus or Sling TV, but the free five day trial is a good deal, plus you get access to LHN which the other online services do not provide.

I pretty much do not pay much attention to these threads ... once you have heard one aggie joke you have heard them all ... “How about we meltdown once, in February, once we actually know just how upset we should be?” But ... seriously !!! I do not know whether this is a typical aggie, a stupid aggie, or an aggie apologist, but, good lord, how could anybody who attended public school long enough to learn enough to read and write, make such an idiotic statement. (Or is this person home schooled ... by an aggie !!!) Is this ... I am sorry ... the more I think about this ... Oh God

Is this happening on smart phones, desktops, or both? I only use my smart phone to surf the web when I am traveling. Lately, I have only been using my desktop for the web, and by and large I am having no problems with popup, popunder or popover ads. I am using Windows 7 as an operating system and Waterfox (64 bit) as a browser. Some web sites don't like the way Waterfox uses or rather doesn't like to use Java (Sorry Java, the computer language, not you !!! ), so sometimes I have to use Chrome as a browser. I have been thinking about upgrading to Windows 10 ... maybe I should not oughta ?

Whatever kool-Aid these guys are having, meaning the Texas football team, not some of our craptastic posters ... Please Sir, may I have some more?

I have no idea what you are talking about !!! ; )

This team is obviously a work in progress ... if Andrew Jones can come back strong as the Andrew Jones we saw before his injury, and the Horns we saw in the first half of this game make a consistent appearance ... well, we might have a chance at a decent season ... of course, I do tend to be one of those infernal optometrists. : )

Those of us here don't get to choose ... Time will tell ... Let's just see how it goes.

I hated last night's game as much as anybody. This team is a work in progress. You gotta remember that our top scorer and arguably our best guard, Andrew Jones, was out along with another very important part of the back court rotation, Eric Davis. This team is still very young. They are down to a seven player rotation. Obviously, last night's game was an embarrassment for the Horns. If it does not wake them up, nothing will. These guys have high expectations for themselves, as a team and as individuals. They will respond ... injuries allowing. Also, Shaka will be here the rest of this

My wife has a sleep disorder and restless leg syndrome ... so, even during exciting games, I usually have to wake her up two or three times to keep her from sleep walking over the edge from our first row seats upstairs ... this game, I just let her snooze. I think I even snoozed a few times ... I swear I think I was whistled for abrasive snoring a couple of times in the second half ... or ... maybe that was just a bad dream !!! ; ) By the way, the half time and time out entertainment has hit an all time exciting (SARCASM MODE ENGAGED !!!) level. If you were not there, you will not be

Tommy pretty much defined the position of middle linebacker in college ball and later in the pros. I remember going to the movies with friends during the 1965 Orange Bowl game against Joe Namath and the Bamas. We tried sneaking up to listen to the game on a portable radio in the restroom, and I could not stand not seeing the game, so I forsook my friends and the movie and ran home to watch the rest of the game. Tommy was big and violent. He stuffed plays sideline to sideline. The position he played does not even exist on today's defenses. ; )

Don't you just love it when threads really reach the pinnacle of what they can be? ; )

Well ... I guess that depends on how thrilling the REST of your life is !!! ; )

THIS JUST IN !!! ... Clickety Clackity ... Clackity Clickety !!! (He said breathlessly !!!) BREAKING NEWS !!! In a comment in THIS story on Burnt Orange Nation, VirginiaLonghorn just referred to "SHART" as a seeming reference to the Longhorn version of HAVOC !!! You see, the term HAVOC officially belongs to VCU ... The Longhorns have to have there own name for HAVOC ... I still don't know what "SHART" is supposed to MEAN in a Texas Basketball context !!!

: ) Beats the hell out of me !!! In Uzbeki, "shart" means "compulsory. condition, proviso, or stipulation". There are also several obscure Bollywood films with the Hindi term for "shart" in the films' title. In common English vernacular, the term "shart" translates as "SH(it)-(f)ART" ... let's see if this makes it past the censors !!! ; ) With regards to basketball, I seem to recall seeing the term used maybe last year. Maybe in regards to somebody crapping up their shooting percentage, or perhaps in an attempt to be positive ... every time someone took a shot,. it went in like a w
