My vote is for the Mayo Mothership or the House of "Hi".

The AD saying that the integrity of the game is sacred is as hippocritical as it gets. Reminds me of politicians and how they'll say anything to line their pockets and keep themselves in office. This whole ordeal is gross, and the fact that it involves our state and affects the only sport I love is terrible.

I was originally thinking of another similarly named burger joint when I saw this post.

The part that I find funny is 99% of the letters contain "with that being said". I get the reason for the letters, it's just amusing.

Mini Murph? I love it!

Totally off topic, but this thread got me to go to the longhorns roster page and reminded me of something that kept bothering me this past year. I had the feeling that Kobe black reminded me of another player, but I couldn't come up with anything. Then it clicked. I think he got that dog in him...

Name's Champ. I don't let him out much on account of his tendency to run wild.

@Gerry Hamilton If we get into another portal thread, I would like to nominate some AI generated titles: The Re‑Recruitment Roundup The “If You Know, You Know… And You Know” Portal (personal favorite) The Portal of Pending Payments The Direct‑Deposit‑Determines‑Destiny Draft And for those last minute pickups: The Surge‑Pricing Stampede Last‑Week Inflation Festival NIL Inflation Station (Now Boarding)

My mind instantly went to junior high on this one.

I humbly retract my previous statement and offer my most sincere apology for even hinting at the doubt I may or may not have had towards this year's portal management. The sheer black magic wizardry displayed over the weekend was epic, dare I say legendary.

Moved from there back in July to East Texas for work. I sure do miss the BBQ and Birria. The traffic not so much.

I'm not a doom & gloom guy, and I trust the staff, but this time around feels like a bizarro version of Midas touch. Most everyone we contact turns away.

Ran across this article from yahoo sports this morning that gives a peak behind the curtain of deals being struck. Very interesting read for those like me that aren't well versed. It's crazy (but not unexpected) how this back door sorcery has evolved so quickly. Moves like university aligned third‑parties redirecting corporate sponsorship dollars directly to athletes (funds that once went to athletic departments) is wild , and I can't help but wonder how this move in particular will affect funding for all other school sports that don't draw the attention/revenue that football does. For agents and agencies cashing in, this must feel like the California gold rush or the housing boom in the '00s. Crazy time to be a fan of college sports. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/how-are-schools-trying-to-lure-top-tier-qbs-in-transfer-portal-heres-an-inside-look-at-lsus-pursuit-of-brendan-sorsby-162435817.html

Diana, TX in the house!

Also, not in Katy, but if you want some of the best ribs you have ever had, go to Pinkerton's BBQ. You won't regret the drive. Plus, Owner is a massive Horns fan.

All of these are within 15 minutes of I-10 and 99 in Katy. There are many more great spots, but these were the last ones we hit up before moving away. Brett's BBQ Shop (near Katy Mills Mall), Roegels Barbecue Katy (I-10) Sapore Detroit Pizzeria (off 99 near I-10) Sul Bing Su (Korean street food - Korean hot dogs and ice cream) 8 ounce Korean Steakhouse (Korean BBQ) Lupe Tortilla (Best beef fajitas in TX; Three pepper cheese steak if you're feeling frisky)

I had high hopes for this kid a few years back, but I have not seen him make a difference. Is the weight the sole issue, or is he just not progressing like they had hoped? HOOK 'EM

This statement. So true.

Sorry if I missed in another post, but do we know why DL recruit Landon Rink not include Texas in his top 3 schools? https://www.on3.com/news/2025-dl-landon-rink-announces-commitment-date-top-three-schools/

Will On Texas have anything going on for the 'Made in Austin Weekend'? I am hoping to make my first Orange-White Game, and don't want to miss the opportunity to meet up. https://texassports.com/news/2023/1/25/texas-football-orange-white-game-presented-by-texas-one-fund-set-for-april-15.aspx

This is great stuff CJ. I believe having so many new HC/QBs frontloaded on the schedule gives coach K opportunities to scheme and disrupt, greatly improving our win percentage. Bodes well for our first year in SEC country.
