Here's some christmas cheer. The rumors floating around that UM definitively told us no are from the Ohio State side. The claim is that UM himself told someone he had told us its not happening bc he cant get any of his mafia to go with him.
Its absolutely not true. We are in the same spot in the process as we have been.
The War on Christmas just got real. Make sure and go out and tell as many people as possible "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays" in order to fight back against this.

‘‘Twas the night before Christmas when all thru the thirsty 40, not a whiff of credible news, what happened to that gal port o potty?
The BDE was really hung by the firepit with flare. Surlies guzzling whisky/whiskey waiting for Urban to show up there.
The 9.95’ers were restless spewing their usual nonsense and dread while visions of desperate subscribers twerked in their heads.
Nightcrew rocking the hope while the Daycrew rocking the clap, Eltife’s already gathered the millions by passing the hat.
When out in the football world there arose such a clatter, FUPM tripped on his squatty potty and emptied his bladder.
away to the bay window nicole44 flew like a flash and (...paywall lol) the internet did crash
Those 9.95’ers with their sources who know those in the know. Reading their shit is like dipping a McRibb in a bowl of Mayo.
When what on FLIGHTAWARE should appear but Urban our new HC riding a flying Longhorn steer.

Fuck it! Merry early Christmas surly! It’s happening. Miracles do happen! Urban or Bust!
I have had more fun on this board in the past odd month or so than most of the entire year! Y’all are awesome. Thanks for not crowd sourcing me and letting me be me and post here!
(My UT graduation day)
I hate to break it to you. This was always who they were. They just used to hide it better. They gleefully went along with traumatizing kids as a political football. They were always like this.
We are downsizing quite a bit this year. Family members are just coming by the house to pick up their sacks of loot and carryout dinner (courtesy of #1 son & DIL), plus Mrs. Brat’s pies & deviled eggs.
Just have one gift for my sweetheart this year... the Ancestry DNA kit - thought it was time she found out more about her biological bloodlines for possible DNA matches & health genes, plus her ethnicity (she was adopted in California in 1945).
Over the years she made all those stockings for the kids & grandkids except for the red one on the right. That one is hers that dates from 1949. The giant pine cone on the mantel next to her 1962 prom portrait was picked up by her grandfather in a California forest prior to WW2 - it has been a family tradition to display it during the Christmas season.
My soon-to-be 102 yr old grandmother is in a nursing home in Cass County. They were allowing visitors inside and she and 21 other residents caught the virus a couple of weeks ago. She fucking beat it!
She's by far the toughest person I've ever known. She came to visit us after we first moved to Montana back in 2001. She was walking the trails of the steep hills across from our property with no problem at all. Meanwhile, the rest of us were winded. Two weeks after returning home she was standing on a chair trying to get something in a cabinet over the fridge. She fell and broke her hip. I thought for sure I'd be going to a funeral within the next year. Instead, she's beating back the second huge pandemic of her lifetime.
tldr - old people are tough; we're a bunch of pussies.
Okay and to call 2020 a wrap and to rebrand from the year of COVID to the year of fly fishing - I needed ONE thing... soup to nuts catch a real one.
well boys, she now identifies as a bonafide angler!! A mother fucking ANGLER!!
I netted 4 legit rainbows (over 12 inches)! All on my own. A FIRST!! Picked the flies, set up the rig, battled through mid day sleepies and then BOOM 3-4pm the fish were biting!
Sister came over last night for a feast. Reverse seared prime rib was perfect. Both my sis and my wife got a bit weepy as we gathered round the bonfire on the patio sipping wine. Mostly thankful if not happy tears, but they're both processing some heavy shit these days. Been up since 5:30 sipping coffee & listening to music by the fire. Peace, y'all.
As the great John McClane once said ‘Welcome to the party pal!’ Spent many years reading the Shag and now Surly. Y’all are some wild and crazy folks.
For my first post I say:
Merry Christmas (food pics tonight are making me hungry except that wtf brisket)
OU Sucks!
RIP Edward Van Halen
Hail the mighty artistry of Thujune
Night Crew has the right vibe to make this deal happen.
Viva Urban Meyer, the next Texas head coach!
& finally Hook ’Em
It was gone before I could get a pic of the full plate, but since my wife and I couldn’t go to my parents’ this year we decided to do an herb crusted standing rib roast with baby potatoes and asparagus. This is helping make up for having to miss out on family.
(I actually looked this up to make sure I remembered correctly)
In 2013, Texas A&M got free wins against Rice, Sam, and SMU.
They won 5 more games against unranked SEC foes.
They played 4 ranked SEC foes and lost them all.
Add it up and aggy went 8-4 in the vaunted SEC, which is so impressive that they counted as a quality win for the four good teams that they went 0-4 against.
Then they beat Duke 52-48 in their bowl game. Because, ya know, aggy was so good.
That's a nice little microcosm of the S-E-C, S-E-C scam that's been running for about 15 years now.
Thought I’d share a story that dog lovers would appreciate. A few months ago we had to put down our lab. He was like 13. That’s always very sad but my 12 year old son took it extremely hard. It was his buddy.
For Christmas we had a watercolor painting made of the dog as a gift to him. When he opened it he started crying and said he loved it and it was even better than his Xbox. Not a dry eye in the house.
I posted this on Pellet grill thread....so I'll post here also
prime rib roast along with wild rice, asparagus spears wrapped in bacon, and mushrooms sautéed in butter and red wine........it did not sux
This. Kids are all grown now, and grandkids haven’t been produced yet. It’s a blast hanging out with mature adult children who share your values and sense of humor, but I miss my little kids, particularly on holidays. Seeing the joy on their faces when they open a present, reading a book to them, having them fall asleep in my arms. Enjoy your little ones while they are little. Soak up every moment.
