  1. Past hour
  2. OK…..I’m a die hard Longhorn fan first and foremost. Football first then basketball, baseball then lady’s basketball, softball and everything else. My wife (who’s also a TexasEx) has fully accepted every Saturday each fall will revolve around watching Longhorn Football. After that, it’s the Texas Rangers, Dallas Mavs (welcome Cooper Flagg), Dallas Stars (great win last night) and Dallas Cowboys (no chance we get to another SB till JJ sells our Cowboys). Love watching the four golf majors and pull for our Longhorn alums like SS today (clutch back 9 for the win for Scottie after rough start today). That pretty much sums up my sports interests until 2024. I fully acknowledge never caring one bit about watching the WNBA till last season when CC made it interesting every game after debuting with her dynamic passing, logo 3s and the whole “WNBA against CC jealousy tour” the way she handled all the hate with such class, rising above it all. My 10yr old son loves to play basketball and last season he got into watching the women’s game after we watched the women’s ncaa tournament run by CC and Iowa before they hit the Dawn Staley buzz saw in the finals. We never thought one minute about the Indiana Fever, why would we? Then the Fever get CC #1 in the draft. What? Now we root for the Fever in our home. That’s crazy and makes no sense. So many moments last season of the ‘old guard’ showing hate to the new face of the league (left off the 2024 Olympic team looks completely ridiculous in hindsight, all the intentional and obvious efforts by other players to injure CC on the court in non-basketball moves, the one by Carrington with DC shoving her nails in CC’s eye being the most blatant). CC just kept grinding, never got sucked into the BS drama. It’s inspiring and impressive. So yesterday afternoon marked the Fever’s 2025 season kickoff against Angel and the Chicago Sky. It was awesome. The Fever are flat out fun to watch, the pace, fluid ball movement, logo 3s, passionate fans. They blew out the Sky by 35 points (93-58) in by far the most lopsided game of the wnba opening weekend. Like the Lakers of the 80s or the Warrior after Steph Curry took over, it’s fun and impressive to watch whether you’re a fan or not. On her individual performance, Caitlin Clark casually went out and scored a 3rd triple double (20-10-10) in her very short professional career (note: after her next triple double, CC will be tied for 2nd most triple doubles in wnba history 😳). The moment she blocked Angel’s layup with a subtle shove to the floor in the 3rd quarter was awesome as a less-than-subtle notice to the league that it’s a new season and she’s not gonna be pushed around or intimidated this year. The next 3 months are typically quiet for sports in our home after the NCAA World Series, NBA and NHL playoffs…. but not anymore. We’ve got WNBA and Year 2 of Caitlin Clark / Indiana Fever to get us through the summer. Gitty up!!
  3. Jordan Spieth has won the Masters and US Open (2015) and the British Open (2017). He is listed as born in 1993 so he was well under 28, right? I think Rory McElroy had four by that age (not going to look it up, but sounds right).
  4. Only Jack & Tiger had three Majors by age 28 ! Scotties living in rarified times right now!
  5. Does Berymon and Guervil play the same position? I thought Berymon would be over the ball player.
  6. He is unbelievable.
  7. Yesterday
  8. Good news on Guervil, great coverage of Florida this week Gerry
  9. All depends on if Texas pushes But Texas leads for Kendall Guervil headed into June visits… that’s a potential roadblock for Berymon and Texas
  10. Former University of Texas golfers led after all four rounds - yes, Jhonattan Vegas (who led the first two rounds) was a Longhorn golfer in the early 2000's after immigrating from Venezuela. Worth mentioning that the softball team won 9-0 to advance to the Super Regional as well.
  11. Dude’s just a bad ass. Came on strong yesterday. Faltered a bit today, then just dominated.
  12. Appreciate the update.
  13. Typical Aggy, they had to stop the SOFTBALL game to eject a fan, that's after one of the tons of fun Aggy hitters got beaned and threw out a super loud MFer at the Liberty pitcher.
  14. Now has a PGA on his resume.
  15. Who is the head coach at RC?
  16. Don’t choke Liberty!
  17. Aggie softball telling Aggie baseball to hold my beer.
  18. Trey Metoyer is a rather notorious alum.
  19. I went by there when they were 4A ... same lol
  20. They haven't had many FBS kids of late. But aren't void of talent
  21. Dang I’m old. We played them when they were 3A. Of course I also took a track team to a meet in Frisco when they were a one 3A school town.
  22. I had no idea that it was a 6A school.
  23. Do they have any talent there, Jeff? All I know about Royse City is the Bucc-ees.
  24. Michigan, Florida, A&M and Mississippi state are the games i have religiously rewatched from this past season lol
