Sad if true

Amen!!

Lots of great rain out here in the hill country/highland lakes/Marble Falls! Got 3.5 inches last night and LOVING it! Keep it coming!

Thank you, always to know and see God’s will in our lives! Same here for you, God has been good in my life despite my struggles and it means so much to have you reach out and offer. I’m truly humbled and grateful!

Agree 💯 it’s been a battle for me my whole life since about 18 and just now at 44 am I putting together any kind of real recovery. In rehab they told us, this is only the start, it’s a good start but the real work comes when you’re back out. All you have to do is change everything, your habits, your friends, your thoughts, your actions, your perspective. This is a sad situation for the young man, but part of making amends is seeing your part and being willing to accept the consequences and do whatever you can to make things right. “Let go and let God” is a common phrase used, when he ceases fighting everyone and everything he will be able to see the purpose behind all this. Unfortunately, it does not seem like football is his path or purpose to true recovery and freedoms from addiction. I pray for him and his family.

“Let’s not start a holy war here Harris!” ”Up your butt Jobu!”

Easy on the caffeine @Joe Zura you don’t want to end up like Jessie…

I feel like you have to include IU AND Cincy in that too. There’s no way they didn’t know about this. I agree it’s worse than SMU especially in the day and age of NIL and rev share. They broke the rules and deserved to be punished, but they weren’t the only ones doing exactly the same thing. Ahem, Miami, Florida State, OU, TAMU to name a few. This isn’t tampering or giving someone’s mom a house this is one individual who screwed up and Tech is willing to risk all credibility and integrity they have trying to get a player back that should be banned for life. It’s not about the kid at this point it’s about what their actions show the world and the other players. Take care of the kid if he’s really struggling that bad, but the best live and care is accountability for your actions. You committed a cardinal sin in sport, and you must suffer the consequences. At no point has anyone ever argued that the NCAA’s stanch on gambling is too harsh or antiquated.

This is the perfect time for Cody Campbell and Joey McGuire to declare, as @Gerry Hamilton said, that he is no longer a part of the team as a result of this and agree with the NCAA’s decision.

Family

Nice!!

Fair point, so who is your under the radar player that you’d like to see step up going into the regionals, and hopefully supers and CWS?

I mean throwing longer or more dominant than he has been because let’s be honest the bullpen has not exactly been a strength this season…

Who is everyone’s candidate for the player or players who step up for us to make a deep run outside of our main starters and bullpen contributors? I think guys like Duplantier or Leffew could step in and help out in a meaningful way if called on. Just a fun thought experiment!

Hahaha the Mardi Gras one killed me
