Apparently have no clue what is going to happen next year. Love these guys, hope they stick around. They are awesome. Just had a X/Twitter exchange with Swinds.

With 33 points tonight (at Charlotte), KD will pass Shaq (28,596) and move into 8th place on the all-time leading scoring list. After that, it is truly rarified air, Wilt Chamberlain is 7th (31,419).


Side notes of interest:

* Greg Oden career NBA scoring total: 840

* LaMarcus Aldridge (20,558) had a sneaky-good NBA career. He overcame numerous injuries, and a serious heart ailment.

* Moses Malone’s last NBA field goal – a three-pointer (outside the arch – from 80 feet).

The Longhorns look to rebound on Saturday afternoon as they take on the Washington Huskies at Disch-Falk Field. After the disastrous performance by the bullpen, Coach Pierce had a long talk to his pitching staff in the dugout after the game. Where they go from there will largely depend on them. One other change that Coach Pierce has made is giving catcher Kimble Schuessler the day off and bringing in Peyton Powell to play catcher. Rylan Galvan is not fully back from his thumb injury and the staff does not want to throw true freshman Oliver Service into the mix quite yet, so Powell gets the call. In Powell's place, freshman Casey Borba will get the start at 3B.

For those wondering, Powell came to Texas as a catcher/utility infielder, so he does have experience there and Coach Pierce has praised his efforts behind the plate going back to last year.

My family and the Horn family lost the biggest Longhorn I ever knew. David Jack Bolger was the reason I am a Longhorn fan and the reason my son is a Longhorn. David graduated Plan II in the very early 60’s. Was a 4 year member of the band. He always greeted you with a “Hook’em” and left the same way. David passed away this weekend in Scottsdale.

This, is really an enjoyable watch.

Just saw it tonight, and it’s definitely a movie worth seeing (and I don’t say that about many movies these days).

How’s that “I’ll handle the pitchers myself” workin’ out for ya?

Just won the Arnold Palmer. He strikes the ball as good as anybody on the planet and when his putts are falling like they were this week I’m not sure anyone can beat him.

Unbelievable final round.

I love it when the farmers find new ways to lose.

Had a huge lead, gave it up, fought back to give them hope at the end, and then steal defeat from the jaws of victory. Aggies tears for dessert tonight!

laffed my ass off

My complaints about Biden and his mal-administration are well-documented in this forum and far too long to list in a single post, but this is another example of why the narcissist DJT, who’ll put his personal grudges and vanity over national security concerns, will never get my vote either. Nothing could possibly justify this (from Jim Geraghty):

I’m sure Trump cultists will come up with some twisted rationale to justify this craven about-face. Just pathetic.

It’s hard to think of any presidential election in American history in which we’ve had two worse, bottom-of-the-barrel candidates. Certainly there’s not one in this old’s lifetime.

Texas AG is now going after pornhub.

Not a political thread, I just worry it may affect a bunch of OB's daily life.

The topic of the Longhorns roster and NIL has led me to ask a question?

Would players give up an athletic scholarship in this NIL world?

I believe most NCAA rules pertain to the player's scholarship and eligibility (another topic).

If a player is offered a $500K NIL deal, does that player really need or even WANT the strings that are attached to that athletic scholarship? Top players would not have to sign a NLI (National Letter of Intent). They could just show up.

The 85- player scholarship limit would be irrelevant if 20% of your team wasn't on scholarship.

What if you were one of the last players on a college football team but had a $50K NIL deal? Would you give up your athletic scholarship just to stay in the program? If you were a great student, could you replace the athletic scholarship will an academic scholarship?

I believe some of these things happen already. Is it likely to become more frequent in this NIL Wild West World.


I would love to hear your thoughts about these questions. I know it may be too soon, but I think these issues are on the horizon.

Is anybody beginning to see a pattern here?

President Trump has secured his appeal in the ongoing E. Jean Carroll case.

Although the appeal is good news, President Trump was still forced to post a $91.6 million bond as an escrow payment pending the appeal.

This means that Carroll will be forced to wait and may not get any of the money at all—here’s to hoping she won’t! Collin Rugg shared more details:

“Donald Trump has posted a $91.6 million bond in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case.

Trump had to pay the money even though he is appealing the case. If he wins the case in appeals court, he can get the money back.

2 tickets and a parking pass, under the cover so long as the wind is not blowing in. Send me a DM, need name and phone number to transfer.

They are at 20-14 in a good conference. They had a nice conference tournament run until today (go gator). They seem the definition of a bubble team. If they get in they’ll be one of the last ones in. What do you think happens? I hope they get left out personally.

Funny how Trumpers were saying their star witness was still in play.

Bad day for Trumpers

I'd rather live in his world than live without him in mine.
~~~~~~~~ Gladys Knight and the Pips, Midnight Train to Georgia

Hard to believe, but it's been 50 years since this song won the Grammy for Best R&B Vocal. It was written by a former Ole Miss QB, following a phone conversation with an old friend who was moving back to Houston, after a failed attempt to launch an entertainment career in LA. The song tells the story of a woman who does much the same thing. She leaves Georgia to go make her mark in LA, but the "him" to which the lyrics refer is the true love of her life, who chooses to stay behind. The woman eventually realizes that he is more important than her dreams of fame & fortune, so she hops aboard that midnight train, back to the certainty of his love.

Well, it doesn't take much imagination to change those lyrics ever so slightly, and make them a credo for living. Let's say we do nothing more than change "his" to "His," and "him" to "Him." He will always take us back. Grace always bats last.

God bless you all.

Just saw him at Tolbert’s in Grapevine. I talked zero shit, but the dude was very cordial. I give him credit for taking pics with the patrons.

Why do people have such a problem using these two words correctly?

-The rope was tied in a loose knot.

-I lose my ever-loving mind when educated people mix these two words up.
