    Austin, TX. UTLS. Wife is CPA - McCombs. One daughter is UT Chem and Pharmacy, another is UT BA Advertising and MSW. Twin granddaughters aspire to Cockrell and McCombs as HS juniors. We encourage them in those aspirations.

    If Texas wants Derek to return I assume the staff thinks he has healed. He still showed signs of being slowed by his injury this season. The talent he flashed as a freshman was evident, of course.

    Tony Hill and Gerry thought the team that made fewer mistakes would win. In a mistake ridden game Texas made fewer mistakes.

    Have you watched Michigan play this season? What stands out?

    Guessing that a guy who makes his rep on outside runs, cutbacks, good hands, and pass pro is a better fit in the B12 than in the SEC or B1G.

    Pause, and have a great day with your family and friends.

    Scudero?

    Lacy is not a power back. Lacy may be about Wisner's size. Do any of you have a take on him as a pass blocker? Against teams with a pulse he averaged 3 YPC. I think NOT.

    CJV wrote: it sounds like the full starting lineup remains at practice and plans to participate in some degree in the bowl game on December 31. Did you mean the offensive starters? Or are Hill and Burke practicing, as well?

    So what?

    Saina piques my curiosity. I have never seen him play. Have any of you?

    The Bowl game is an exhibition that allows for multiple weeks of practice for the returning players, some of whom have not played significant minutes. It does not matter if Texas wins, although we would prefer that outcome. It only matters that returning offensive linemen who haven't played get to work out together for two or three weeks. Win or lose, seeing the "new": interior linemen, say Kibble, Cruz, and Brooks, working smartly together as a unit would be worth it to our team. Seeing them screw up again and again would be a lesson, as well. We get to watch and learn.

    I would not underestimate Vandy in the true NIL marketplace. Nashville is a city with opportunities for media and corporate publicity and appearances, and the school has very wealthy alumni. Down the road: when collective bargaining comes, if state employees are prohibited, then Vandy and Stanford and Northwestern and Notre Dame and USC and SMU and even Rice will actually have an advantage. That is the kind of political mess that could lead to permitting state employees to collectively bargain across the board!

    The agent on a contingency should take no part of the initial offer by the college, but only a percentage of his negotiated improvement of the offer.

    Dude's chicks finally grow up despite Dude's attempts to plant them. Some of then get sick and he fears they have Newcastle, which could wipe out his flock. So after strangling one he sends the hen off to the A&M lab for diagnosis. The lab reports back: this chicken died from a broken neck.

    Why do they have astroturf at Kyle Field? To keep the cheerleaders from grazing.

    Two Aggies had bagged a deer and were dragging it by the rear legs back to the truck. But the antlers kept getting stuck in the mud. One says to the other, "This is tough but we only got about 1 mile left to reach the truck." A third hunter saw their dilemma and told them, "If you drag the deer the other way, the antlers won't stick in the mud." So the Aggies give it try and it works! The first Aggie says, "That hunter was right! This way is a lot easier." The second Aggie says, "Sure was, but now we're two miles from the truck."

    Dude graduates from Texas A&M school of Agriculture, goes into a farm supply store and orders two hundred chicks, explaining to the owner that he wants to start a chicken farm. Two weeks later, he returns to the store and buys another two hundred chicks. The owner is curious, but doesn't say anything. The same thing happens when the Aggie returns in another two weeks for another two hundred chicks. When he returns for the fourth time, the owner's curiosity is too much for him, so he asks the Aggie why he keeps coming back for so many chicks. The Aggie says, "Well, I guess I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what. I think I'm either planting them too deep or too close together." Bemused by his lack of success, the Aggie sends off a report of what he has done to Texas A&M, asking for advice. Three weeks later, the reply comes back, saying simply, "Please send soil sample."

    The personnel being the return of Taaffe and Jelani, and the potential upgrade over Guilbeau?

    But he’s alive and healthy and doing well. And that’s what matters. Amen.
