Is anyone hearing anything about Rakestraw and Baylor? It looks like he tweeted something about Baylor last night and then deleted it. I can’t see his deleted tweet, but the responses from Baylor fans are still up, like this one...
This is great stuff. I’m not a believer, but I was raised in a fringe religion that focused heavily on the apocalyptic second coming of Christ, so all this talk of the anti Christ hits close to home. I heard the description of the anti Christ from the book of Daniel over and over again when I was a kid, so it’s crossed my mind - if I was a believer now, would I think Trump is the anti Christ? It would be hard not to.
MAGA hats are the mark of the beast! I hadn’t thought about that one.
Y’all talking bout the whale tail at Uvita?
GF and I stayed at the Golden Pineapple resort a couple years ago right when the owners listed it on airbnb. There was still some construction and landscaping going on, so it was kinda noisy and workers coming and going. But we got it for really cheap and had the whole place to ourselves. It’s up on a mountain side overlooking the whale tail. Needed a 4x4 to get up the road which was I paved and very steep much of the way up, but it was worth the hassle.

Here’s a write-up on Rakestraw from Dawg Nation. It mentions his performances against Rakim Jarrett and Smith-Njigba as well as Quay Davis. I’ve looked for Davis’ stats from the Skyline v Duncanville game before and couldn’t find them. Now I now why. Rakestraw held Davis to 2 yards.

Here’s a play from that game...
Rakestraw was named Defensive Player of the Year by the Dallas Morning News yesterday. According to his Twitter, he has four visits left and is planning OV’s to Mizzou and Georgia. And the Detroit News says that he’s going to visit Michigan State the last weekend of January. I think I read that his only OV so far was to Colorado State earlier in the season when he didn’t have any P5 offers.

I’ve read separate articles that said that he is visiting both Miami and Michigan State on the weekend of Jan. 17, so not sure if he’ll make both of those. I imagine he’ll be making a trip to Bama since he said it’s his dream school.
Right on. I hope everyone got their tamale needs met this holiday season. I’m in South Texas right now visiting my mom. Probably gonna stop at Delia’s and pick up a few dozen before I head back to Austin later today.
And if you’ve never had them for breakfast, do yourself a favor and heat up some tamales with a couple fried eggs and hot sauce like this guy did in the Steel Shank thread...
