Explain Squatting to Me

I keep seeing headlines like this.


How are they able to just take over a persons home? I’ve never ran into this before. I would assume if I did, they would go to jail for trespassing. What am I missing?

A little info--

Got to catch up with a couple of coaching friends at the Texas relays and talked some UT football while watching some outstanding track and field.

They had attended a high school clinic at UT and had some insights after mingling with the UT Staff.

On the new DL coach--Very high energy and very personable. --One guy said he is going to kill it recruiting once he gets established. He sure dont mind calling a player out in front of the team but he does it with a specific theme to improve on. As an example, he got on Alfred about not using his quickness to defeat an OL man by telling him that he was twice the athlete the OL man was but because he was trying to bull rush a 360 lb guy evidently the OL man was smarter because he had Alford playing his game. Alfred won the next three snaps.

There are quit a few battles for pecking order going on on the OL, The starters from last year are back plus Cam Williams at RT but the 2nd team is really pushing, He said Goolsby was a starter on any team that didnt have Banks in front of him.

He also made a comment that the 2nd teams run blocking got a better push in the power game than the first teams in what he had observed. 2nd team was Goolsby,Neto, Hutson,Stroh and Cojoe,he said the first and 2nd team defense had trouble with this unit with Christain Clark carrying the ball.

Quinn and Arch have looked interchangeable, Both have been very precise, not many passes have hit the ground and when they have,most times the coaches address the receiver for a wrong route or pulling up early. There were a couple of times a wide open WR dropped the ball and the coaches let them know that was not acceptable and that there was a lot of talent in the WR room and they were not going to play people with game losing tendencies.

Freshman Wingo was described as a person who looks like a redshirt jr going into his contract year, He is going to take some snaps away from somebody, I dont know who yet but he is too good to be a spectator. One thing that people may not know about him is his ability after the catch, its like he shifts from WR to high level RB one guy said,he has some serious power and some moves after the ball is in his hands. He is also very consistent ,yest there is a freshman learning curve but its safe to say he is well ahead of it at this early stage.

Golden appears to be a legit deep threat,moreso than Bond at this early stage,but Bond looks a lot like AD Mitchell with his fluid play and catch radius. Cook was dealing with the dropsies the day we saw them.

Jaray Bledsoe could turn into a monster with his athleticism but he aint there yet,he will look like an All American one play and get pushed backward by some 3rd teamer the next. Jamond Tapp had a good but not spectacular day,he was consistent at holding up at the point of attack but didnt have any wow plays in the live action.

Anthony Hill was a beast last year,now he is a bigger and faster beast,he was allmost unblockable and was a factor that had to be dealt with on seeming every play,also Gbenda and Blackwell were very active,Lafau also had some teeth rattling hits.

Trey Moore is a major upgrade as a pass rusher,but the OL is still winning the pass protection game versus the DL at about an 85% rate at this time,Moore ,Simmons and the other pass rushers won a few,but not as much as you would like to see if you are a defensive fan.

The secondary has eye popping athletes who made some outstanding individual plays but they havent meshed as a unit yet,they were rotating so many players in and out that this is understandable this early. Its safe to say the passing game is ahead of the passing defense at this point,but the run support was encouraging to see,they will all come up and hit you.


Here are some random players they mentioned as standing out--- OL Campbell,Banks Neto,Cojoe DL-Collins,Moore LB--Hill Gbenda,Lafau S--none CB--none RB Blue, Wisner, Baxter,Clark WR Moore, Wingo, Golden TE Helm--utx

OT: Drones

I have a small cheap drone that I got a while back. My first time I flew it I thought is was going to end up in my pool, but I quickly corrected the course and it crashed instead on the tee box behind our house. I went and retrieved it, ordered an SD card for it and put it up in my closet. Last week a guy I know who often flys drones on his vacations and takes awesome 4K and 5K footage is selling his used Mavic Air 2S to upgrade to a newer smaller Mavic 3 Pro, He is selling it for about half original price with all the stuff he has accumutated for it. I have watched him fly it a few times amd it takes such great photos and videos. It would be a huge upgrade for me, but it might be a bit overkill.

Today I got my little drone out of the closet and flew it for awhile in our yard getting better hang of it. I realized the mini SD I ordered was 128 MB and the max it takes it 64 MB, so I still have not seen what kind of videos it takes. I did crash it a few times including once when I stuck it up in a big tall bush. I had to fish it out with a pole.

Honestly, I am not sure how much I would use one. I thought since we go to National Parks it would be cool to video some of those places, however I have read they are not permitted in National Parks. I know a few events coming up where it might be pretty cool.

I was curious what drone experience y'all have and what units y'all have. How do y'all use your drones?

Vic is a Scary Dude...

I'll admit - it is a clickbait thread title.

The Athletic asked 95 players in the NCAA tournament, 85 of them in the Sweet 16:
  • If players could choose any coach — other than their own — who would it be?
  • On the flip side, which coach would they not want to play for?
Coaches they WANT to play for:
  • Dawn Staley (SC) - 38, last season she got 49
  • Geno Auriemma (UConn) - 11
  • Kenny Brooks (Kentucky; was VaTech at the time) - 6
  • Tara Vanderveer (Stanford) and Yolett McPhee-McCuin (Ol' Miss) - 3
  • A bunch of other coaches at 2 including Skeletor who was 2nd last year with 8
Coaches they DON'T Want to Play for:
  • Skeletor - 32
  • Kelly Graves (Oregon) - 7
  • Jeff Walz (Louisville) - 5
  • Geno - 2
  • Vic - 2
They also published comments for each category, the only one they had for Vic was: "He seems pretty intense. I think he would scare me.”

I think everyone has seen how much love there is between Vic and his players before the tip off and after the final buzzer sounds.

Illegal butt injections in Cypress

Login to view embedded media

A mother and daughter duo are facing charges for giving people illegal butt injections. On Wednesday, 56-year-old Consuelo Dal Bo and her daughter, 18-year-old Isabella Dal Bo, were arrested during an undercover sting in Cypress.

Court records show the mother and daughter went to a short-term rental on Eastern Meadowlark Way hoping to charge $6,000 for illegal butt injections. Instead, they were met by undercover officers.

Both have been charged with unlawfully practicing medicine without a license. Consuelo Dal Bo is facing another drug charge for knowingly delivering a controlled substance called Alprazolam.

Court documents show the women were planning to inject an unlabeled brown liquid into the posterior - or butt - of a customer. That customer ended up being an officer in an undercover sting. The documents also show Consuelo Dal Bo gave a Xanax to the undercover officer for the purpose of relaxing before the injections.


Health experts urge caution about getting injections outside a licensed professional.

"First things first, these are unregulated, right? Especially if they are administered by non-licensed providers. They might be using unregulated or illegal substances for these injections. Examples include industrial grade silicon, mineral oil, even things like cement and sealant I've heard of being used, and they're not meant for injections into the body," said Dr. Sara Andrabi, an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine.


Officers seized bags of illegal injectables and medical supplies during the women’s arrest.

The Houston Police Department’s Major Offenders Division are asking any more possible victims to come forward.
