Elizabeth Smart doc was a tough watch. Not because of sadness, but because of how horrifyingly stupid every single person involved with the case was. From the family to the perpatrators to the victim to the police. The only intelligent people were the little sister that remembered the voice eventually, the 911 caller that spotted her, and the patrol cop that actually found her.

2025 MLB thread
lol, 14 instances of a team rallying from 3-1 down and they revisit the most anti-climatic series of them all. I think Boston won each of the final 3 games by 10 runs and never trailed in any of them. Who the fuck gives a shit?

Look at who has done well in the past 2 CFPs, and why. DL > OL. If our o-line is merely serviceable we will be fine, but it’s pretty clear you aren’t getting far in the CFP without monsters on the d-line. If I was in charge of recruiting my priorities would be DL, QB, DB, WR, OL, LB, RB in that order.

2025-26 CFP General Discussion
OU beating Michigan & Miami beating ND were huge reasons those teams got into the CFP. If you’re ranked in the lower range of the CFP then a big OOC game would help you a lot.

I think a pretty clear strategy going forward is to pay all you can for a dominant DL. Miami had a weak link at QB and still almost won the natty because their DL was a nightmare for opponents. I think it’s even more important than a dominant OL.

Tried Salsalito Cantina on Nacogdoches & O’Connor on Friday. Huge place and best puffy tacos I’ve ever had. Good prices too, dinner for two people was like $30.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2027: I remember watching his dad play
This kid is legit, he’s been working with Yale Vannoy (SA QB guru and social media sensation) since he was in elementary.

I don’t give a shit what his coaching record is. He has the Indiana Hoosiers in a fucking football national title game. Some of you have no idea how insane that is.

Did you guys not watch the last WBC? Great Britain’s entire infield was guys of Bahamian or Jamaican heritage.,

SEC Men’s Basketball 2025-2026: Fried Chicken and Free Throws
I’m also watching FLA-Vandy. This shit is truly unwatchable. It took over 10 minutes of real time to go from 18:30 to 17:00 on the game clock. 2 flagrant fouls on seemingly completely normal basketball plays.

I actually looked at the rowing roster. It’s pretty clearly just a racket to give free school to the daughters of wealthy families, especially international ones from places like Australia. One girl’s bio literally says “started rowing at age 19”. It’s a way to secure future donors so I guess maybe in that way it isn’t a waste.

68 scholarships for a women’s (or even a men’s) rowing team at a state university is lunacy. What a tremendous waste of public tax dollars.

Soccer isn’t popular at all in south or west Texas, it’s just like the rest of the state in that way. The RGV actually had a USL team that had to relocate a few years ago due to low attendance. It’s popular among 1st gen Latin American immigrants but quickly drops in popularity with their kids. I don’t really know why. I have a huge extended family and none of us are into soccer except the ones still in Mexico.

2025 Texas High School Football
Mark Soto at Judson steps down as HC after 4 abysmal years. That 42-0 first round loss to Laredo United was the nail in his coffin. Will be interesting to see who the next coach is. Despite the recent demographic shift and declining enrollment, and the host of district turmoil, there’s still decent talent at that school, enough for them to be dangerous if led in the right direction. But I doubt they will get a good candidate given the financial issues there.
