Texas is starting to rev it up 🔥 -
I’m not speaking for Bobby, but he pays to advertise his law firm not his politics. He’s not having us read ads to support political measures or candidates. What he does on his personal account on social media is his business.

Any fish/aquarium hobbyists here? I’m thinking about starting an aquarium but am a total newbie. Currently just doing research. Heard it can be a major time/money sink.

AUSTIN, Texas — No moment has been too big for Anthony Pack Jr. throughout his exceptional freshman season on the Forty Acres. The opening game of the NCAA Tournament’s Austin Regional on Friday was no different for Pack, who hit three home runs in a 19-1 rout of Holy Cross at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. “I just went out there like every other game,” said Pack, who roughed up the Crusaders’ pitching staff to the tune of a 3-for-3 day, with four runs scored and five RBI. “I don't think anything changed. A lot of preparation, a lot of hitting with Tulo (assistant coach Troy Tulowitzki), but I think it just came from the preparation.” No Longhorn had ever recorded a three-home run game in the NCAA Tournament until Pack hit his eighth, ninth and 10th dingers of the season. Pack, who now has 70 hits and 50 RBI in 53 games, helped Texas (41-13) score in every inning of its dismantling of Holy Cross (25-29). Aiden Robbins, who slugged his 20th and 21st home runs of the season en route to the Longhorns matching their largest margin of victory ever in a postseason game, knows that what Pack is doing far exceeds what’s expected from a freshman. “He's confident and he knows his ability to just go out there and play free,” Robbins said of Pack, the SEC Freshman of the Year, who led the league in hitting (.400) and on-base percentage (.511) during conference play. “He displays that every time he steps on the field.” Pack’s three bombs tied a single-game school record (the last time it happened was in 2024, when Max Belyeu went deep three times against Baylor) and accounted for half of the Longhorns’ six home runs. Jayden Duplantier’s sixth-inning grand slam capped the slugfest, tying the program record for most home runs in a game. The 19 runs the Longhorns scored were the most a Texas team has tallied in an NCAA Tournament game since 2005. Pack got the scoring started in the first inning, with a 417-foot, two-out solo blast. After Robbins (2-for-5, three runs scored and three RBI) and Carson Tinney (3-for-4, four runs scored) were retired by Jaden Wywoda, Pack pulled a 1-0 pitch over the right-field wall, executing a critical at-bat that set the tone for the team’s historic day at the plate. “We have a lot of respect for their starting pitcher,” Jim Schlossnagle said of Wywoda, who threw 105 pitches in 4.2 innings after throwing 196 pitches over three days in last week’s Patriot League Tournament. “If he gets out of that inning clean, a senior pitcher like that can really get some confidence and get going. Anthony, obviously, had a good swing in that inning and a really good day. “After that, a lot of good things went our way.” Texas now gets to reap the benefits of hosting a regional as a top-8 national seed. While Tarleton State and UC Santa Barbara are duking it out in the nightcap at Disch-Falk Field, the Longhorns will be off their feet, trying to maximize the full 24 hours they've been allotted between Friday’s romp and Saturday’s winner’s bracket game at 6 p.m. “It's not an advantage unless the players take advantage of it,” Schlossnagle said. “That's what we just had a quick conversation about, so these guys need to get out of here and get off their feet and hydrate — like, really hydrate.” Schlossnagle’s postgame comment to “really hydrate” was said directly to Pack, who was lifted for Duplantier in the sixth inning. Pack said his muscles get tight when he gets excited, which can lead to cramps. Although Pack said he must do a better job of “controlling my energy a little bit,” the first SEC freshman to hit .400 since Jake Mangum hit .408 for Mississippi State in 2016 wants to do what he can to make sure nothing interrupts his historic campaign. “I can't cramp,” Pack said. “I've got to do better with my hydration and do better.” Adequately hydrated or not, Pack set the tone for what Texas hopes is a deep, prosperous postseason.

Texas Tech: The Faces of Desperation
Little Carmine replied to Bobby Burton's topic in On Texas Football Forum
It’s honestly absurd they’re having this debate. Does a pyromaniac not go to jail (suffer the consequences) from arson or should that person be absolved because it’s “compulsive addictive” behavior? Do kleptomaniacs stay out of prison or not get in trouble because they’re addicted to stealing? What an absolute joke. Prosecute this jackass under any portion or stretch of the law that you can, ban him for life from everything. -

Texas Tech: The Faces of Desperation
tommym replied to Bobby Burton's topic in On Texas Football Forum
I just cant believe that Tech did not do due diligence in doing a background check on Sorsby. Bobby, Gerry and Coach Shipley brought up good points, a win at all cost. I mean if Tech would be quiet they would be able to sit a the adult table. But, nope they think they have leverage. I wonder if you uncover more info, how bad is really as far as them winning at all cost. Two things in two years will hurt them Sorsby and signing OJO. All that money to the wind. -
His money is the right color. Bottom line.

Texas Tech: The Faces of Desperation
Alex Butler replied to Bobby Burton's topic in On Texas Football Forum
The sad truth is that if Tech had removed him from the team for this, supported his recovery efforts, and encouraged him to continue his education they would be a bright spot if college sports and have credibility to move into an even better position nationally as a program. They would also have (and still do but a lot messier now) a great argument to recoup their money from Cincinnati and IU for lack of oversight and potentially liability for failing to report gambling activity and protect a student athlete’s well being. I’m not a lawyer (obviously) but seems like a much better play than what they’re currently doing. -

Just utterly unfathomable that a State institution in Texas is going out on a limb to defend someone who so blatantly, knowingly and heavily bet on his own team which throws everything he did on the field at IU when he played into question -
