  1. Recent history would suggest that the NCAA doesn't have control over anything.
  2. Roxie's is good diner food. Met a friend there for lunch about a month ago and had the chicken fried steak. The restaurant is owned by Scott Roberts, who owns the Salt Lick. It's in the Buda Grail &Mill location where Valentina's used to be.
  3. Campbell isn't the one behind the softball $$$. It's his partner, John Sellers. Sellers wife played softball at Tech and John doesn't want to get cut off in the bedroom. Edit: @GoHorns1 beat me to it one post above.
  4. Really?!? Over Moten?
  5. What a clueless response. How fast is the golf ball moving when they start their swing and from what trajectory is the ball coming when they hit it?
  6. Well, considering that you've posted that nobody but Mike White liked Earlywine, he doesn't always hire well. Sounds like they succeeded this year despite the groundswell of hatred for the guy amongst the players and staff.
  7. Yeah, I know that. That's why I said what I said. My point is that if KZ resigned due to Earlywine being part of White's staff, that reason no longer exists.
  8. Well, if Earlywine was really the reason for leaving, maybe she can rescind her resignation and hang around.
  9. I had the main broadcast and the alternate broadcast (on ESPNU) on two screens and switched listening back and forth (and sometimes had both on mute). TBH, I listened to the alternate broadcast more. Those ladies were mostly entertaining and not Tech homers. I thought their analysis and commentary was interesting, and they had all played on that stage when they were in college.
  10. Make you wonder if the NCAA did that because the UT softball team is playing for a natty on Wed and Thurs, with an if-necessary game on Friday. Sat-Mon for baseball avoids the potential conflict.
  11. I live in Buda, on the west side. My son has a house on the east side. I've lived in the general area for almost 60 years, but in Buda for only 10 years. Traffic is getting worse by the day/month/year. I never go into Austin unless I'm heading to a UT game or it's something that I can't do/attend without it.
  12. Orphey is a Muschamp guy. He got his start with Muschamp as a GA for him at S. Carolina.
  13. Welcome Hank! I've enjoyed your work at Horns247, so I'm happy you're here now. After Jeff left, I was put off by Kevin Ryan's comments and soured on Horns247 in general. I'm an old with subs to OTF, IT, and 247, but I primarily kept the 247 sub for the free access to other sites like CBS, Paramount+, and other team sites. I look forward to reading and watching your contributions at OTF! Cheers Hank!
  14. A while back, Steve Ross (former KVUE Austin Sports Director) opined on another site that the SEC will not agree to more than 16 for quite a while because ESPN doesn't want it. The reason is that, if the playoff expands to more than 16, CFP rules require the broadcast rights to be reopened and rebid. That is exactly the reason that the B1G won't agree to 16, unless there is a written commitment to expand beyond that in the following year(s). Fox wants part of the playoffs. ESPN will try to drag this out for a few years to get to the end of the contract, pushing only up to 16 and refusing expansion beyond that.
  15. Gideon also was a defensive quality control dude for Muschamp in 2014 at Florida (his last year as Florida HC) and a graduate assistant for Muschamp in 2015 at Auburn (Boom's only year as Auburn DC).
  16. I'm not defending another site, but that sort of title shorthand seems like a good idea on a busy board. Then a reader can determine/infer the tone (positive or negative info) of the thread before they click on it. On the surface, it seems helpful. What is dumb about it? What am I missing?
  17. Only reason I kept 247 is for the free Paramount +/CBS subs. I look over there occasionally and their network for other school sites.
  18. I'm a member of three Texas sites, and this is just pure bullshit. They all have their sources and all break stuff. The OTF team is solid and are either 1A or 1B in Texas coverage, imo.
  19. Where would Brad Spence be? He seems like a candidate for OLB in a 3-man front.
  20. In related news... Water is wet.
  21. Although I agree that he should focus on football until the season is over, he'd be dumb to eliminate baseball imo. His long term ticket may be baseball. If he maximizes his talent there, he'd make more $$ in MLB than he would as a safety in the NFL. JMO
