FWIW (not much), this guy is transferring to Texas from LSU as a walk on. Might be coming as a TE? Not sure, but might split that Surly Burnt Ends pie another way.

I refinanced almost exactly a year ago - went from a 30 year at 4.0% to a 15 year at 2.75%. We're happy in the 15 year mortgage and we're happy in our house - not looking to move for at least the next 10 years, and probably more. Does it make sense to refinance again?- Its happening (stadium renovations)

At this point I'm not ruling out Oregon- 2021 Texas Offseason: Sark Attacks Austin
I don't know who it is, but Kerstetter would be my guess. He had a nasty black eye a few seasons ago from a fight with Malcolm Roach, and he has a penchant for impulsive personal foul penalties.- 2022 OL Cole Hutson

Gabe has been my favorite since early in the season. I'm glad he won. I noticed he has a bachelors and masters degree in Mechanical Engineering from UT. Especially nice to see a longhorn win. If you know that Tom's opinion is the only one that matters, and if you know Tom's facial cues (he doesn't exactly have a great poker face), this one wasn't really a mystery. Gabe won comfortably. Odd choice for Shota to take it in a comfort food direction. He's at his best with subtlety and finesse. Dawn just flat out didn't belong. I've been down on Maria as a top half worthy top chef contestant, but she was an awesome sous chef and - for obvious reasons - a particularly good match with Gabe. It did make me chuckle when she advocated against deep frying the head cheese only to have the judges end up saying it wasn't crispy enough. Still, she was clearly a strong net positive for Gabe, as Byron was for Shota. Dawn just doesn't work well giving direction and limited what Jamie could do. I remember reading a post upthread a few days ago that pretty much nailed the sous chef breakdown - prescient. I was worried for Padma. She is getting older, and I thought she might throw out her back carrying Dawn all episode. It really felt like they were searching for ways to find nice things to say to maintain some sense of balance. Again, if you key in on Tom he was not impressed - probably wishing Sara had made it through. Overall not the best season, but any Top Chef is always enjoyable for me. I'm already ready for the next season.- Top Chef Portland

The merits/demerits of Bill O'Brien as an offensive coordinator seem to miss the point. O'Brien did not take that job intending to be the offensive coordinator at Alabama for the next 5 years, the same way Doug Marrone does not intend to be the OL coach at Alabama for very long. This is an arrangement where Alabama gets to flex and show that former NFL head coaches are willing to be coordinators/position coaches under Saban, and the O'Briens and Marrones of the world get to kick ass with a massive talent advantage, rehab their images, and position themselves quickly for a better job. The Mannings, by all accounts, are not stupid and naive in this process. Whatever the pros and cons of Alabama, they almost certainly do not think O'Brien will be the offensive coordinator throughout Arch's college playing years and will not be basing their much of their decision on Bill O'Brien's offense.- CWS Game 12: Texas vs. Mississippi State 6:55 CDT First Pitch
Sadly, it appears Pierce went to the Grady Little school of managing.- Top Chef Portland
I like the 3 person finale. I think Gabe, Shota, and Dawn have been head and shoulders above the rest since early in the season (it took Dawn a few weeks to get her footing). I personally have it as Gabe by the slimmest of margins over Shota, with Dawn a clear but respectable third. I think this is another after effect of Sara not making it back. I think they expected to add another contestant and fully expected to have a 3 person finale. When she didn't make it back, they couldn't cut a week, so voila, here we are. It is a cop out, to be sure, but I also think the best outcome in a season dominated by 3 chefs is to give those chefs the chance to cook their best meal and sort it out. I, personally, think the issues around Dawn leaving things off the plate are much ado about nothing. Does it matter? Sure, I can't say that it is absolutely nothing. But the show is about developing flavors and executing composed dishes. If a component is made and gets left off one of ten (or whatever) plates, I really can't be that worked up over it. If the elements are made, incorporated, and executed for the majority of dishes, then how much does it really matter if one gets left off? It is already such an artificial environment for the chefs with the goofy challenges, obscene product placements, time restraints, and whatnot. Being under the gun and missing an element on a plate doesn't suggest to me a deficiency as a chef. I understand, and respect, those who see it the other way. Reasonable minds may differ of course. Along those lines, I think Dawn did the right thing in owning up to leaving the potatoes off her dish for reasons that have nothing to do with integrity. One thing I've learned in watching this show religiously over the years is that the only opinion that matters is Tom's. I know some of the other judges were raving and going on about her dish, but as good as it may have been, it lacked the element to deliver more of the sauce to the mouth. Someone mentioned it during the meal and you could see that Tom agreed with that criticism. It is either a conceptual flaw or an execution flaw. At this state of the competition, Tom cares a lot about the mind of the chef and how they conceptualize their dishes. We saw that on display in the cheddar challenge (and what Jamie failed at so miserably). If I'm Dawn, I'd rather own up to the execution mistake (even knowing leaving elements off has become a recurring criticism), then letting Tom think she had a conceptual flaw. I think in the eyes of Tom, it is more forgivable to have properly perceived the need for a starch element to sop up the sauce, made the element, but forgot to put it on the plate in the chaos of plating than it is to have made that dish without any consideration of having such an element.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting
