  1. Past hour
  2. He played the restaurant manager who kept getting onto Jennifer Aniston about her flair. The voice is really close to Mr. Van Driessen from Beavis and Butt-Head.
  3. It’s a projection based on gate receipts, staff costs, travel costs, etc. And now that revenue sharing is in the mix it will even be tougher for even the marginal revenue sports to be profitable. Nothing sexist about it.
  4. In 1977 I was in grad school at Texas and waiting for a windshield replacement at the Sears on Hancock. Someone had driven a golf ball thru my windshield as I was driving past the golf course across the street (I guarantee THAT gets your attention when you are driving 35 mph; I ducked and thought I was being shot at). At the Sears auto repair shop Brad Shearer walks in. I thought I'd go over, maybe introduce myself and thank him for coming to Texas to play football (this was the year we were undefeated in the regular season, Earl won the Heisman, Fred won Coach of the Year and Brad won the Outland Trophy). As I approached him he looked my way, his eyes got narrow and he kind of growled. I changed my mind and left him alone 🙂 He was intimidating just standing there in the auto repair lobby. Favorite between Brad and Kenneth Sims? Can't decide, I'm declaring co-champs for # 77. I just wish they had gone on to strong pro careers. Brad was slowed by injuries and Ken derailed by a drug problem.
  5. Lanning... smh. Phone likes to talk crap to whoever
  6. I simply said it would be sexism to say our softball program couldn’t be profitable. Oklahoma been profitable for years I suspect we are profitable softball program. I’m a Texas fan . I assume you are also . Let’s root our Longhorns on . Wish you only the best.”HOOKEM “
  7. Sims and Campbell. Who was the 3rd? EDIT: Damn. Forgot about Nobis.
  8. Didn’t know espn had McCoy as a 5 star. 247 had him a 3 start. Both seem off.
  9. It’s wild there are people who defend the coach for that sport.
  10. lol at the lady asking for arch’s last name
  11. Women’s Soccer continues to be the most underperforming sport on campus compared to where we should be. At least in mind.
  12. Exactly and trying to be fair to track as well.But all those did underachieve this year as well as Women's Soccer as always😂🤘
  13. You absolutely love to see it!
  14. Expected, some can’t handle SEC recruiting
  15. Today
  16. Great list of #77 honorees. Each is deserving in his own way. Mauldin probably served in Europe and perhaps Africa. There were few B17 and B24 bombers in the Pacific theatre. It took the sophisticated B29 to handle the long distances and high altitudes across the Pacific to bomb Japan. The B29 was never used in Europe as it was a later developed bomber.
  17. Signed RHP Hayes Holton out of Independence LA, he's a 6'3" 180# kid with a fastball that tops out around 97 or so. He plays on the older national team that my son plays on. I've seen him throw and he's legit. He's gonna probably end up around 205#'s or so and should be flirting with 100 by spring.
  18. Nice to see these guys supporting one another like this.
  19. Mike Judge wrote and directed Office Space, but Diedrich Bader played Lawrence.
  20. That actor is Mike Judge- writer of King of the Hill and UT system alum 🤘
  21. Y’all all wrong. There’s only one #77 and that is Javonne Shepherd!
  22. They will be worse next year
  23. So a correction on Mauldin. He did NOT pass away during WW2. Here is the rundown: Stan Mauldin’s World War II Service and Death World War II Service Enlistment and Role: After his standout football career at the University of Texas, Stan Mauldin enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. He served as a navigator on a B-24 Liberator bomber, a heavy bomber used extensively by the U.S. in various theaters of the war. Service Details: While specific details about his missions or theater of operations (e.g., Europe, Pacific, or elsewhere) are not fully documented in the provided sources, Mauldin’s role as a navigator would have involved critical tasks such as plotting flight paths, managing navigation equipment, and ensuring the aircraft reached its targets and returned safely. Navigators were essential to the success of bombing missions, often under intense combat conditions. Survival of the War: Mauldin survived his wartime service, which included dangerous missions typical of B-24 crews facing enemy fighters, anti-aircraft fire, and mechanical risks. He returned to civilian life after the war ended in 1945. Death Date and Place: Stan Mauldin died on September 24, 1948, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Cause of Death: According to available information, Mauldin suffered a heart attack during a football game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Los Angeles Rams. He was attending the game as a spectator, not as a player, and was only 27 years old at the time. This tragic event occurred just three years after the end of World War II, cutting short the life of a decorated athlete and veteran. Context: The heart attack was sudden and unexpected, especially given Mauldin’s youth and athletic background. No specific details in the sources indicate whether underlying health conditions or wartime injuries contributed to his death, but heart issues in young adults can sometimes be linked to stress, undetected conditions, or other factors. Legacy Posthumous Recognition: Mauldin’s contributions to both football and his country were honored after his death. In 1969, he was inducted into the Texas Longhorns Hall of Honor, recognizing his athletic achievements and his service as a war veteran. Memorialization: His story is remembered as part of the University of Texas’s proud tradition of athletes who served in World War II, many of whom faced significant risks and sacrifices.
