Kind of shit that drives a man to drinking.

Well, they could sing I Been Workin' on the Railroad and possibly get away with it.

University of Texas athletes have pushed their school to disavow its past. Wealthy alumni have other ideas.

The email where the donor suggests that it's time for the "blacks to leave the state" is gold, Jerry. GOLD!

Sounds like a song that they would sing at Purdue.

Yikes.

Ouch that sucks

 

[NFBuck]

That's awful.

And they lost their dad recently at age 46 while running a marathon.

Tragic and heartbreaking.

I come to this thread for shenanigans, not this. How sad.

This is a different kind of "opt-out"
This young man is committed to UT and he's pretty highly rated. He's opted to sit out his Senior Season of HS football and work with personal trainers to get ready for his freshman year at UT.



Interesting to say the least. I wonder if this will become a trend.
Similar to top basketball players choosing to not play for their HS teams and instead barnstorm around with AAU squads.

Seems like a trend to play as little of your sport as possible until a hopeful pro career

Makes sense. Why keep getting your brains beat in for free. Kids are finally smarting up to the game...

The BIG XII is still run by Texas (i.e it's the BIG I and little ix)...

Just sayin': What a bunch of "cow shit"!!!
