Mark McBath a form Texas QB is a accomplished cancer surgeon 

That’s awesome!  Cool to know the former longhorns that have become docs in addition to dr robin  

that said even if Turntine were to want to be a doc that would have to wait until he is done with an nfl career and he may be an early round pick with a long career.  Rolle wasn’t in the nfl that long. And he took a Rhodes scholarship which looks pretty good on that med school app. Then neurosurg would be a seven year residency not counting additional years for fellowship. So it takes a rare breed to make a crap load of nfl money and then say I’m going to study like crazy for years then be on call every few nights for another 7 years.

Stanford is a great academic school. Without question.

However, to go somewhere where you don’t have an inkling who your head coach would be next year would be baffling given the amount of NFL money at stake, much less NIL money.

Laurent Duvernay-Tardif went to medical school in Canada while playing OL for the Chiefs. He graduated in 2018 and got a Super Bowl ring in 2020. He retired from football during the pandemic.

OnTexasFootball has been informed that Texas A&M is out of contention for 5-star OT John Turntine III

Texas vs. Michigan is where we hear the most noise right now. There is confidence in Austin ahead of July 4th announcement. Michigan does think they are in it. 

Stanford is the third team on the list. 

What about Samari Mathew’s?? I’m hearing SC did a great job on his visit… not sure if you’ve talked about this already lol I’ve been carrying mail all day and I’ve finally gotten a chance to look at the board.

There is absolutely no way that I would recommend anyone who is from Texas, to go to medical school in California. Here's a few reasons why: To begin with, the cost of the out of state medical education would be double to triple, compared to Texas. Once football is over, you are on your own financially. Then, you are pretty much stuck there, because your residency would most likely be in California. California has lower average physician salaries, especially when adjusted for their higher cost of living, and the ridiculous higher taxes that you would pay. Then you will find out that your malpractice premiums and payouts will significantly impact your income, because your insurance cost will be a lot higher. Cali has a high percentage of uninsured residents, which will negatively impact your medical environment, which has led to higher burnout rates. California has become a third world 💩 🕳️. Type the following into Google: Why is California so bad to practice medicine?

 

“California has become a third world 💩 🕳️.”

This is such a laughable comment. Stop believing everything you see on the news. I was born and raised in Texas, attended both Stanford and UT (I would have chosen Stanford over UT for undergrad 10 out of 10 times), have lived in both Texas and California as an adult, and have lived in California for almost a decade now. Yes, the cost of living is very high. But I love living here and so does pretty much everyone I know. I’ve lived in the Texas heat much of my life—70 degrees and sunny year round is fine by me, thank you very much.
