  1. Past hour
  2. Likely? That might be the understatement of the year.
  3. @Gerry Hamilton cooking breakfast for @Joe Zura. Such a proud papa
  4. Sadly, early in the year Arnold might have been better than Arch early in the year. I'm glad we got past that. My point is, his price is overrated even for potential production. A upright Manning with time to throw will make even the most average WR look good. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning did that their entire careers. Even Tony Romo did that for years.
  5. Get ready to learn The Eyes of Texas.
  6. as a kid, i lived about 5 minutes from the murph when stanley richard (and junior seau) were bolts. it still doesn't seem right that the chargers aren't in SD anymore...
  7. On Dec. 23, Shannon Imbruglia showed up for work at Bark Avenue Bakery in Orlando, Florida, to a strange message on her desk. The company she co-owns is a pet bakery that makes treats for dogs and cats, but this one caught her off guard. EDITOR'S PICKS 'Is it a real functional toaster?': Behind the scramble to engineer the Pop-Tarts Bowl trophy Dave Wilson The 25 most college football moments of the 21st century David Hale We made score picks for every postseason CFB game Adam Rittenberg "Birthday cake for a cow," the note read. Imbruglia tried to track down more information. Maybe it was for a dog named Cow? "No," one of her employees said. Someone called asking for a birthday cake for a cow. Bark Avenue is used to strange requests. Imbruglia said they've made treats for horses. They've even done gender reveal cakes. There's no such thing as too weird, she said. But this one was puzzling. She called her son, who works for Rock 'Em Socks, the footwear company that caters to sports-themed offerings, to ask whether there was anything big going on in town that the cow cake could be related to. The Cheez-It Citrus Bowl, he told her. Texas vs. Michigan. Florida Citrus Sports, the people behind the game are known to pull a few stunts. Maybe they want you to make Bevo a Cheez-It? ADVERTISING Imbruglia went back to her colleague: "Did they say anything about a longhorn?" "Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but that's a cow," she replied. Easy now. That's no cow. That would be Bevo XV, the pride -- and mascot -- of Texas, a steer that weighs about 2,000 pounds with horns measuring nearly 5 feet across. But Imbruglia's son was right. Florida Citrus Sports did indeed want Bark Avenue to make Bevo a Cheez-It -- but one that he could safely eat. So Imbruglia researched and figured out what to bake for a behemoth. She settled on a 12-by-12-inch cake designed to look like giant toasty snack cracker goodness, but all organic and safe for bovine royalty. She worked up a recipe that included applesauce, cinnamon, vanilla, wheat flour and baking soda, and sent it over to Bevo's people, who approved. She finished baking the cake Monday and decorated it Tuesday morning. Bevo will have his pick of a giant Cheez-It or several smaller Cheez-Its. Cheez-It Citrus Bowl "It's a pretty honker cake," Imbruglia said. "It seems like it's 50 pounds. It is so heavy." As to how Imbruglia got the orange Cheez-It color is not exactly a secret, she says, but she and another small cake supply business collaborated to get all-natural colors they could combine to get the hue just right. "We're grateful for the experience just because it's fun," Imbruglia said. "We haven't had to dig into our creative side like that in a long time, so this kind of brings our whole team together. Everybody jumped in on it." Imbruglia is a huge football fan and loves all the excitement and visitors the bowl season brings to Orlando each year for the Citrus Bowl, as well as the Pop-Tarts Bowl, which was played on Saturday. This will be the 80th Citrus Bowl, and to celebrate, they've also created a pop-up bar -- "the country's first bowl-themed bar," they say -- called the Citrus Bowl Lodge from Dec. 26-31 with memorabilia, old press clippings and programs from the game. Bevo won't be there. But he'll get his own Cheez-It. Imbruglia is excited to get in on the action this year by doing her part. And Bevo, naturally, is a fan of all things orange. "I hope I get the opportunity to go down and meet him too," Imbruglia said. "We'll see."

  8. Kiffin fits the bill. Still undefeated.
  9. Super surprised if this is true because everything and I do mean everything was pointing to Tech on this one. The thing that shall remain nameless looks like it may not longer be undefeated if this comes to pass.
  10. What was the total sacks number against those 5 teams? Seems to be missing from the text
  11. Da hell is this
  12. Can confirm this as accurate
  13. That’s far too nice, this is actually his house. @Joe Zura
  14. Hate this way of thinking. Go out and win the game. That’s it.
  15. I mean we aren't trotting Jackson Arnold out like they did
  16. My scenario with that included us getting Hawkins and Durham. Portal backs are likely happening
  17. Absolutely not, given the injury bug we've had over the past few seasons at the position. We need to get quality options and rebuild our depth.
  18. Could a standout game from Michael Terry change our mind about Jaden Baugh? Even though NIL is not caped funds are still limited, but that could change with Donor fundraising and aggression. Question for Board assuming these are on the table after a good Terry/Simon performance, which core offensive group would you want (FYI OL is consistent with each group) Don’t argue about if these are even possible. They may or may not be. I just want to see sentiment. Group 1: RB- Baugh RB- Hawkins RB- Simon RB- Terry RB- Cooper WR - Wingo WR- Mosley WR- Singleton WR- Livingstone Group 2: RB- Durham RB- Hawkins RB- Terry RB- Simon RB- Cooper WR- Coleman WR- Wingo WR- Mosley WR- Livingstone Essentially I’m saying Durham plus Coleman is same price as Baugh and Singleton
  19. That’s right. My bad. I remember seeing he was trying and just assumed he would get it since Pavia did. Makes sense then
  20. Thankfully you have absolutely no say with Texas roster!
  21. Chambliss has eligibility issues.. that's why he's going in another direction. He may not get granted another year because of his.juco situation previously. Rather than hope for a last minute decision on paperwork that was filed, if I'm not mistaken, either before this season started, or somewhere within it. The NCAA hasn't even acknowledged it to rule on.
  22. He doesn't have eligibility at this point to follow him anywhere.
