I'm assuming Golden Corral, CiCi's Pizza, etc. have all banned Ketch long ago. Hell, Fuddruckers probably has a "shoot-on-sight" order.

If Ketch did this to your toilet, you'd ban him too

    How do you think this is helpful? Not being a jerk, just asking y'all to keep your shit together and use common sense. In any event, I know for a fact that nothing ever happens with Texas until a

    He could have if he isn't. Play devil's advocate and tell us why you feel about this guy's overall approach to his recruitment and how that either translates to the next level or doesn't matter.

Plucker's: Home of the freshman 15

I lived in a world that included Pancho's all-you-can-eat. Who knows how many buttery honeyed sopapillas are stil stuck to the walls of my intestines. 
 

Texas Union burritos and brownies. It was a good cafeteria.

 

Also, the drinking age was 18. You do the math.

Jesus, drinking and an all you can eat Panchos sounds like the gutteral equivalent of Chernobyl

Panchos?  You were doing it wrong.  2 for 1 chicken fried steak at the Stallion on Sunday nights.  Bottomless margs at the 4 or 5 Jorge's around town (mine was the Riverside).

Smelled like it, too. Fortunately young men like laughing at their farts.

The post-game travels to Coupland for some all you can eat BBQ was a treat as well. County Line, it used to be so good and adult oriented, supplanted Coupland as a destination. Still, I have such fond memories of driving back into Austin back when the city started at Reagan High and seeing the tower lit up.

Went to the Stallion twice and felt like shit after both visits. It seemed more like a challenge than a place to enjoy food. Gray gravy? I'll pass.

It was yellow gravy, which Hill's Cafe also served.  Pancho's had a most wanted poster in the post office for poisoning.  

Either bad lighting or my sight is going to shit, but I thought the first glimpse of his shirt looked crimson-y.

I was at UT early 80’s. I think there was one Jorge’s in town and menu stated maximum margs at 2. I think it was Everclear?. I think it was South Congress? Anyway ,only restaurant I was thrown out because my friend got so drunk he fell backwards in his chair and hit other patrons. Come to think of it he also totaled two cars I was riding in and got me in several fights on several occasions. I don’t pick friends well that’s why I’m on Surly!

I came down the summer before my first fall semester in '78 as soon as my Legion Ball season ended.  Must've been 30-40 of my high school classmates that moved down over the summer.  Lots of us on Riverside.  Life was great; two live music venues - The Back Room and Mother Earth - a Conan's, two movie theatres, a pub (The Abbey Inn) for the Maggie Mae experience with imports and darts) and place that would cash your check with reckless abandon (Minimax?).  Oh, and a nice billiard parlor with regulation tables and ice blue felt (!).  And Jorge's.  And there was no 2 margarita limit.  It was a good thing most of us lived a par 5 from there.

I wonder if he contributed to his brother's NIL by buying that jersey.

For those who follow more closely, do we really like Zina as a prospect?

I posted in the commitment thread, but Bobby said on the live stream show tonight that the staff considers him one of the 2-3 best physical prospects on their board. Not a finished product who can come right in and play like Simmons, but one who has the frame to be an elite player by the time he graduates if he develops properly.

It was Jaime's for us, only because Jaime shot sangria from his wine bag into our 18 year old  mouths after the they raised the age to 21.

The progress Ethan Burke has already made here should make people feel better about taking these types of recruits.

If Michigan landed him and he started to tear it up,  we would have melted.

So….he has potential and a high ceiling?   Ok.

How many are they planning on taking this year?  Going to need a couple more 5 stars to crack the top ten probably.

OT specials, tater tots and beer.   Or Conan's pizza.   Manske buns at 2Js

Is this the thread where we talk about how we got fat?

Looks the same coming out as it did going in. I've got a sweet tooth, but that is just too much.

Okay, to move back towards recruiting, do recruits on an official visit still go to Vince Young Steakhouse?

Yeah, I had a couple in April.  Still just as good.  Used to be able to get them in the frozen food at HEB Marketplace too.  Not sure if that's still a thing.

Not fat dude, the preferred term is HEB Positive. It's a condition. Jelly roll out front should have told you.

Fong with some updates

In the Steve Sarkisian era at Texas, the Longhorns have seemed to win more blue-chip recruiting battles on the trail than they’ve lost, the latest beating rival Oklahoma for Allen (Texas) High four-star edge rusher Zina Umeozulu.

One they did lose this cycle was Lancaster (Texas) High Top247 cornerback Corian Gipson, who announced for Clemson in July. I’m not so sure that one is completely over and I’ll keep an eye on the Longhorns for the coveted in-state defensive back moving forward.

As we’ve reported in the past, St. Louis (Mo.) University five-star receiver Ryan Wingo is planning to come back to Austin for the Wyoming game next Saturday night. I logged a 247Sports Crystal Ball in favor of the Longhorns following a June swing of official visits which included the Longhorns. There have been times where Missouri has seemed to grab momentum, but there is still a lot of confidence around Austin they’ll ultimately land Wingo, and buzz around the Wingo camp remains very excited about Sarkisian and the program as well. I'm glad I've stuck with my pick.

With a decision coming on the horizon, I still like Texas’s position for top-ranked offensive tackle Brandon Baker. And I love my prediction in favor of the Longhorns for in-state five-star cornerback Kobe Black.

So, as of today, Fong-minus-the-fluff:

Corian Gipson:  "I'll keep an eye."

Ryan Wingo: "I'm glad I've stuck with my pick."

Brandon Baker: "I still like Texas' position."

Kobe Black: "I love my prediction."

 

Video gif. Two little boys sit across from one another and one of them is closing his eyes tightly and crossing his fingers with all his might. He's hoping really, really hard for something to come true.

Gipson, Wingo, Baker, and Black would rank us 3rd in the current 247 team rankings with a 285.91. uga and fOSU are uncatchable at this point, and bama is currently sitting at 277 so they'd be ahead or in striking distance. 

On3 drops some of the bottom of the class when it does team rankings to negate class size disparity. IF we close these 4, we would probably rank higher in that model.
