Do you see any fundamental changes to your day-to-day once 45 becomes 47?

LMAO

Williams just confirmed to OB that he has a broken collarbone and will miss the rest of the season.

I no longer live in Austin and just recently heard about the serial killer rumors. I have always been somewhat of a true crime fan, so this interests me. What do the current locals think of these rumors? Please share your thoughts and any important references. Let's discuss this.

Texas barely got by Vandy, but with a play here or there and a penalty avoided, they couldn't have really blown them out. I'm pretty sick of bashing on Ewers myself. But here's what I think the team is actually up against.

Vandy had it figured out - a very average defense at best, one of the less potent in the SEC, and they caused plenty of problems for the Texas offense and made it a game.

And that's even though Sark is still calling plays/dialing up passes downfield, trying to run the offense as usual, Ewers appears to be playing scared and will have the tendency to keep things closer to the line.

So, like Vandy, the remainder of the opposing teams are going to dare him to pass the ball down the field. This means Texas will see a lot of man coverage with 1 high safety and a lot more crowding toward the line of scrimmage. That will allow opposing defenses more options for blitzing and better success against the Texas running game. They'll get more sacks and cause more hassle for the Texas OL, making them look bad too.

Gee, thanks, Kirby.

Until he plays more aggressively (passing), if I'm a defensive coordinator making a game plan, I can rely on Ewers for several sacks, and a couple of turnovers a game; those are just the obvious stats. And I can crowd the line trusting that Ewers is nervous about trying to get the completions downfield, and take my chances on using an extra man with the rush. Ewers won't run so I can spy his hot routes to the running backs and double the TE.

That's the very strategy Texas used against OU, knowing OU was playing a true freshman at QB, taking advantage of his inexperience. Because we all know - inexperienced QBs play more tentatively, make more mistakes, can be counted on for more sacks, and have trepidation about turning the ball over in the air.

And that's the elephant in the room. This is year 3+ for Ewers.

Credit due: he did a bit better this week with a couple of successful downfield passes. Hats off there. But too often he still seemed tentative. During the game, we counted at least 9 or more opportunities with guys open downfield where he didn't make the throw. On one sack, Golden was standing in front of him 10 yards away in the center of the field - well past the line to gain. Anyway. Something distracted us and we gave up counting. But we couldn't help but notice that Ewers tends to check down to the easy stuff - or, he takes the sack or throws the ball into the defensive player's face, leading to a turnover. He doesn't scramble out of the pocket, and outside of maybe one time, he didn't run instead of pass.

Hoping Sark can continue to build his confidence - find a way to get Ewers to attempt more passes to take advantage in the mid-range stuff, and the occasional downfield shot. I also hope he runs him more and has more bootleg stuff to get him out of the pocket. BECAUSE trying to protect his health to help his draft stock should no longer be listed as a priority - winning out should be all that matters. Ewers is just one of many players on this team with great potential. I hope that last point is the circular thought of the morning for Sark. Louder than the last bad pop song he heard.

A Texas high school basketball coach has been arrested and charged in a million-dollar scheme to facilitate fraudulent teaching certificates.

Vincent Grayson, who led Houston Booker T. Washington's boys basketball team to its first UIL state championship appearance in 2023, was identified as the leader in a scheme that brought in more than $1,090,000 since May 2020, according to Harris County felony chief prosecutor Mike Levine.

Grayson was arrested Monday morning and booked into jail Monday afternoon with a $500,000 bond attached to his release, according to Harris County court records,

The arrest marks a stark fall from grace for a coach who led a Houston high school basketball team to historic heights in recent years. Grayson, 57, was also the school's athletic director.

During a press conference on Monday, Levine said the total amount earned was probably higher than $1.09 million, the total amount traced through payments on Zelle and CashApp.

Also charged in the scheme were Tywana Gilford Mason, 51, the former director/VA certifying official at the Houston Training and Education Center; Washington assistant principals Nicholas Newton, 35, and Darian Nikole Wilhite, 22, a proctor; and LaShonda Roberts, 39, an assistant principal at Yates High School in Houston ISD.

According to Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg, applicants would pay $2,500 for a proxy to take the test for them. They would arrive at the testing site, sign in and leave. A hired proxy, Newton, would step in and actually take the test.

The testing proctors, Gifford Mason and later Wilhite, were paid to look the other way and facilitate the cheating, according to Ogg.

The scheme fell apart when Newton was caught taking a test at a testing facility.

“In fact, when he was caught red-handed in February of 2024 he was logged into one test,” Levine said. “He said to investigators, ‘Well look at the screen behind you,’ and he was logged in as a different person taking another test on another terminal that same day.”

He’s a 7-on-7 quarterback, and probably a very good one. But actual football, which involves physicality?

Nope.

Has anyone gone yet and bought the GA ticket versus a seat? We waited too long to get tickets to the OU game and so we are going to see if it is still a great view from the cheap seats.

Any chance we convince DJ Campbell or Cam Williams stay for 2025 ?

Assuming we lose DJ and Cam, what do you guys think about our starting OL (protecting Arch) in 2025?

LT - Kelvin Banks --> Trevor Goosby

LG - Hayden Conner --> Neto Omeozulu

C - Jake Majors --> Connor Robertson

RG - DJ Campbell --> Cole Hutson

RT - Cam Williams --> Andre Cojoe or Brandon Baker

need 4 seats, prefer west side but open to whatever you have.

Tim Walz had a secret fling with the daughter of a high-ranking Communist official during his 1989 teaching stint in China, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

Jenna Wang, 59, claims the VP hopeful showered her with gifts and seduced her at his poky staff accommodation at No. 1 High School in Foshan, Guangdong Province.

The lovers could not risk holding hands or showing affection in public because Wang's dad was a high-ranking figure in the Chinese Communist Party who would disown her for fraternizing with a westerner.

But their romance blossomed behind closed doors as they sipped tea, made love and listened to George Michael hits – leading the then 24-year-old Wang to dream about marriage and a new life in the United States.

No proposal was forthcoming from the future Minnesota governor, however, and the shame of being treated 'like a prostitute' eventually left Wang feeling angry and suicidal, she claims.

'Tim was very passionate and very romantic. I can still remember dancing with him to our favorite song, Careless Whisper,' she told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.

'The fact we couldn't touch or kiss in public just made it all the more exciting and intense when we were finally alone.

'We were deeply in love and I wanted to marry him and start a family. When it didn't happen, I felt very unhappy and sad. Tim's behavior was very selfish.'

Walz's time in China is already a source of controversy after he misleadingly claimed in interviews and congressional transcripts that he was in Hong Kong when the Tiananmen Square protests erupted from April to June of 1989.

It later transpired that he didn't join the staff of nonprofit WorldTeach in China until August 1989, prompting Walz, 60, to profess during the recent VP debate that he was a 'knucklehead' when recalling dates.

It was several months after he arrived in Foshan that Walz is said to have fallen head over heels for Wang, a pretty, highly educated English language teacher at the nearby No. 8 Middle School.

She was attending one of his lectures to brush up on her pronunciation when the then-25-year-old Walz slipped her headphones aside and whispered into her ear: 'You are very beautiful.'

'Tim was very handsome. I loved his eyes and his big mouth. We talked afterwards and he was very complimentary about my English,' Wang told DailyMail.com.

'My colleagues couldn't speak whole sentences but Tim told me that if he closed his eyes and listened it was like being back in America.'

Wang had a friend on the same teaching staff as Walz so she was able to gain access to the exclusive school where she could visit him in his one-bed staff digs.

Over the weeks that followed the lovebirds grew closer, walking in the park and going to dances in the evening where there was less chance of being spotted by communist snoops.

They avoided overt shows of affection in case it got back to Wang's father Bin Hui, who was an important CCP official and chairman of a labor union in her native city of Guilin.

Walz would travel to Hong Kong and Macau on the weekends – cities that were more or less inaccessible for all but the Chinese elite – and bring back Western-style luxuries like blue jeans, Ray-Ban sunglasses and jewelry.

'He couldn't sing and when he tried to dance he found it very hard. I could tell he was in the military,' Wang said.

'But we talked for hours and hours, we stayed in bed, we had sex. He continued to buy me gifts.

'I could never stay overnight because of the social conventions. It was very repressive. Couples walked around the city like robots.

'My father would have been very, very angry and sad if he had found out.'

During the summer Walz returned to the US but wrote letters to Wang, giving vivid depictions of his life and teaching job in Alliance, Nebraska.

At Walz's direction, Wang says she sent off a passport photo and information about herself to an address in the States, believing it was part of the process to secure her a visa.

When the future running mate of presidential hopeful Kamala Harris flew back to China in 1992, she resigned her coveted teaching role, believing she was about to embark on a new life.

Their relationship soon began to sour, however, when Walz made clumsy, romantic gestures in public, on one occasion trying to feed Wang a slice of pear as they embarked on a ten-day tour of South China.

'People were staring at us. I tried to reject it because I was very afraid. Teachers were supposed to set an example,' she said.

The couple made sure to book two hotel rooms wherever they stayed but on an overnight train journey Walz insisted that Wang sleep in his cabin.

The conductor shone a flashlight on Wang in the middle of the night and started to admonish her, only to retreat when Walz, afforded more respect as a westerner, woke up.

When the pair reached Hainan Island, known for its tropical climate and beach resorts, Wang was ready to confront him about their future plans.

Walz responded by suggesting that Wang was more interested in a US passport than marriage.

'This was very offensive. I said to him that it is both or nothing,' she said.

'I wasn't giving up my life and my position to move to Nebraska, a cold place in the middle of nowhere that most Chinese people had never heard of.

'I was giving it up to be with Tim, to get married and start a family.

'Knowing now that he wasn't going to marry me made me feel cheap and common, as if I was being treated like a prostitute.'

The next morning Wang slipped out of their hotel and took a taxi to a remote clifftop where she says she contemplated throwing herself off rather than returning to her old life in disgrace.

But on the bus back to Foshan she resolved to leave Walz and instead headed to Guilin to help her mother recover from a recent stomach surgery.

'The bus stopped but I didn't get off. He said, please come and let's talk, let's give this a chance,' Wang recalled.

'But I said no, I felt dead inside. I wasn't going to force a person to love me. I never saw Tim again.'

From 1993 onward, Walz began leading annual summer trips to China for students in the Nebraska and Minnesota high schools where he taught.

He married Gwen Whipple, also a teacher, in 1994.

Walz never again crossed paths with Wang, who emigrated to Europe several years later where she now works as teacher, translator and cultural mediator.

She says the pair last exchanged a handful of friendly messages over Facebook in 2009 and talked about how their lives had panned out.

The mother-of-one says she is coming forward now because she feels Walz behaved selfishly towards her and put her reputation and career at risk with his fickle behavior.

'Tim lied about Tiananmen Square and he's lied about other things,' she told DailyMail.com

'This is a very crucial moment in history and a man like this does not appear to have the character and integrity to do one of the most important jobs in the world.'

A spokesperson for the Harris-Walz 2024 campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

It will likely be the most-anticipated and most-watched World Series in recent memory.

Won the huge non con game. Lost in disappointment in the big conference game. And we are underwhelming in the remaining games. Maybe it's just how Sark rolls?

I'll have a wash under contract in Tarrant County by the end of this week and will begin the due diligence process next week. Would LOVE to speak to any car wash veterans about the business, but also looking to hire someone to 'consult' on the due diligence process (and maybe longer).

I am a 'mostly' retired tech sales guy and know ZERO about this industry, but do know this particular wash is a very healthy business from a numbers, real estate and longevity (time in business) standpoint.

Any advice, opportunities to chat or consulting inquiries are greatly appreciated!

Gotcha again this week @jay42883
