I'm really excited to officially announce our new partnership with the Daly & Black law firm, which among its many areas of expertise is an award-winning focus on helping clients with storm damage issues.

Why Daly and Black? Besides its reputation as a fantastic law firm?

We're talking about founding partners who are Orangebloods through and through. John Black is a former student government president (1994-95) who served on the men’s athletics council and women’s athletics council (94-96 and 96-98, respectively). HIs daughter is currently a student at Texas studying fashion and apparel, and the hope is that his youngest daughter will soon join her.

On top of that, John was inducted into the Rec Sports Hall of Honor in 2022.

Even more exciting than John's connections to UT is the fact that through this partnership, Daly and Black plan to spearhead a Texas Baseball NIL fundraiser on Orangebloods that will have a designated goal of raising more than $100,000 for Jim Schlossnagle's program over the next 12 months through a series of silent auctions beginning in August.

This is a project that we've been working together on for the last few months and we're right on the cusp of launching, but the overall goal of Daly and Black is to not only become your home for storm damage help (among other areas of focus), but the firm wants to give back to a school that has become a way of life over the course of the last three decades.

Please, help me officially welcome Daly and Black to the community. It's an exciting time for Texas Baseball and the goal over the next 12 months will be to make it even more exciting with the help of everyone in the Orangebloods community!

OK, I'm an old. I currently use YOUtube Tv as my streaming service. Could someone explain to me how I can access SEC Network ?

Thanks

This is not good. Cannot log into work.

Australian play breaks ring finger and Dr says you have two choices.
1. Let it heal on its own and miss the Olympics
2. Lop it off and you're good to go.

yup

With our impending move to the SEC I decided to watch the Paul Finebaum Show a couple times last week. I’ve enjoyed all I can stand.

I’ve never listened to a more bizarre group of callers in my life. To summarize them as a bunch of moronic, uneducated, mouth-breathing hillbillies would probably be kind.

Totally amazed the SEC network actually airs 4 hours of this drivel daily.

God help us.

From the Wall Street Journal:

No one in Washington, D.C. ever seems to get fired for incompetence, but this really seems beyond the pale.

Like other assassins and would be assassins, this guy simply seems to be a rejected loner who was trying to create immortality by inserting himself into the history books. That he came so close in this day and age is simply mind-boggling.

First wow what a great 4 days of almost wall to wall Texas Football talk. For a retired guy like me it was great to wake up early and watch SEC This Morning, SEC Now and then Finebaum. That was 4 days, 16 hours a day of football talk and most of it dominated by the Longhorns.

Second, like we all knew, it's really nice to be part of the coolest clique in school. I don't know if being in the SEC "just means more" but it sure is a hell of a lot more fun especially if you are coming into the conference as one of the favorites to win it. Many including Saben have us as number two behind Georgia which is much better than being rated number two behind OUSux in the at the Big 12 Media Days.

Third, I love radio row. Maybe it's from listening to Dallas Sports radio during the Cowboy Super Bowl years during Super Bowl week and they broadcasted from radio row but the idea of media from all over the country being somewhere where my team was participating is just cool to me. A lot of my time during this week has been going to YouTube and catching up not only with OB content but also the other Longhorn affiliates and those of our rivals. In fact I am still having fun going through those today and probably will continue through the weekend.

Fourth, TexAgs Radio was miserable all week. Everyday they were fixated over all the attention Texas was getting. We took away their moment of superiority this year. In past years they could revel in being the only Texas school in the SEC and pushing all their homer smoke about how the Aggies are going to finally do it this year. This year they were only the middle of the pack while their hated rival was on top once again.

Fifth, SEC Mike sucks eggs. He is clearly hit hunting and his purposeful hits on Texas is embarrassing. I like Cousin Shane a lot but Sec Mike is clearly milking Longhorn Hate for all it is worth. Would love to see him eat his words this year.

6th, Media Days gave me some hint at how nice it will be to be part of the SEC Network. LHN was great but myopic on the Longhorns. SECN has a good cadre of hosts and reporters that will be fun to watch.

7th, I have already mentioned SEC Mike but he is only just one of the Old Guard SEC media members who are really anti Texas. Now we had our haters in the Big 12 but like everything else in the SEC it just means more. Quinn got in trouble earlier this year by saying that Texas is everyone's big game which may not be true every year in the SEC but with Texas coming is as a favorite it will certainly be this year. Those old timer SEC guys don't like the idea of Texas coming in and running their party.

8th, I have noticed a pattern with who Finebaum interviews when he wants some takes on Texas versus who he gets for Aggie. On Thursday he had Cedric Golden and Kirk Bohls to discuss Texas and as actual news reporters they can be somewhat trusted to try to give a fair assessment of what's going on at Texas and in Bohls case someone who seems to go out of his way to accentuate the negative. For Aggy though Finebaum loves to go to Looch. I mean he might as well go to the Aggie AD media spokesperson since TexAgs in funded by the 12 Man. He also did the same thing when we stole Schoss. He had Cedric in for Texas and Looch for Aggie. Just an interesting and telling dichotomy I thought.

9th, I think I might get a bit tired of Saban being on ESPN this year. Granted he is the GOAT and I appreciate his knowledge and analysis especially since he picked Texas 2nd in the conference but all the kowtowing is a bit much.

10th and final thought. Not to end on a downer but this week has been glorious but also it has really put the target on this year's team. We have to be 10-2 and make it into the playoffs for this year to be thought of as a success and that is a lot to expect from a school just entering the SEC. I will enjoy the rest of the pre-season and bask in all the positive Texas talk but also know that if things don't go well this year next year at SEC Media Days will be very differernt.

They keep calling for the political rhetoric to be dialed down...but all they are doing is dialing it up.

He will be gone by the end of next week.

I don’t believe he has Covid, but this will be the way they get rid of him with dignity

Good morning peeps. Lowry at -5 T1 with Daniel Brown.

They have sizes under 8 available in case some of the Trumpers on here with little feet still want a pair.

Hot take alert: I prefer Under Armour over Nike. I’ve never found Nike shoes to be comfortable but I have owned several pairs of Under Armour.

I demand a recount.

Wow, gone at just 40…

All my thoughts are with your family,
