You're stealing Yoda's idiom. You need to post some Fargo stuff.
Dodd: Or maybe he's in the house and you think I'm stupid.
Hank: Son, I could fill out a steamer trunk with the amount of stupid I think you are but no, that's where he went.
or something.

Maybe we need another thread on coming clean with other userids on here... I'm pretty sure most of the posters are RDT...

I'm Dave. Really.

What is that based on? Did someone smart already re-ballz 'em?
January 21st, 2016 at 7:05 AM ^
The more I think about it (and it is one of those things you can contemplate at 7 AM), being "reballed" is one of those things where I am not sure I want to know what it is precisely and I am also not sure that I would ever want to see it done to anyone. Maybe that's just my mind.

In August, anywhere is a "dream" visit compared to the heat of Texas.

Spend a summer in Mississippi and you'll beg for a Texas summer.
January 21st, 2016 at 11:50 AM ^
Oh come on, spend any amount of time in Mississippi and you'll beg for anything, maybe even execution.

This adds even more questions to the Jordan Elliot situation. It's going to be a long two weeks.

1) Austin generally and UT are fun places to be.
2) It's still a huge football school with great history
3) The recruits probably count on some reversion to mean--i.e. Texas can't stay bad forever, right?
edit: forgot acdemics--some kids care about that and UT is pretty good in that area, at least as far as colleges with FBS teams go
January 21st, 2016 at 7:26 AM ^
UT is a very good school, with or without its football program. It's one of the best in the country.
Source: my Ph.D. from UT.

just kidding Doc. Congrats on your achievements.
proximity to Franklin's bbq alone makes me jealous.
January 21st, 2016 at 8:09 AM ^
Yes, another message board guy with a PhD.
LOL
January 21st, 2016 at 8:51 AM ^
I know you're joking about your bias. But UT is quite good, not great. Does it break the top 10 public schools? Not sure. I had a friend get a math PhD there. Thought the grad education was good, but many of his undergrads were apparently quite dumb.
January 21st, 2016 at 11:04 AM ^
UT has a top 7% rule, meaning that you have to be top 7% in your class to get in, so I find your quite dumb comment dubious. I won't put it in the highest tier with the likes of Berkeley, UNC, UVA, Michigan, UCLA, but beyond that I think it is as highly regarded as any other public university.
Also worth noting that with rankings that place more emphasis on value or upward mobility, schools like UT Austin and PSU often do particularly well.
January 21st, 2016 at 1:38 PM ^
The "top 7%" rule was implemented to promote "diversity," not to get the best students.
January 21st, 2016 at 7:37 PM ^
I just said it was good, not great.
And I think you're confused about the rule. It's not that a student must be top 7% to get, it's that they automatically get in. But it only goes for in-state students. I think it is a fair policy and helps a lot of kids from lower socioeconomic areas--kids who probably wouldn't get in otherwise. But that may also lower the quality of the median student.

Strong's been there all of two seasons, and pretty much everyone remotely close to the program knows he had to basically blow up Brown's program and rebuild from scratch.
Plus, Austin is a great city, UT is a great academic school, the facilities there for the football team have to be bonkers, and Strong still has a good reputation in most people's eyes, the last couple years, notwithstanding.
January 21st, 2016 at 7:37 AM ^
If I was going to guess why so many recruits suddenly want to go to Texas, I would probably say it has something to do with their bagman.
January 21st, 2016 at 9:20 AM ^
Of course you would.
January 21st, 2016 at 9:40 AM ^
I think the attacks on Texas doing poorly are a little harsh. The last few years of Mack Brown's recruiting were pretty bad, then Strong came in and kicked out 9 players for bad attitudes. Of course they're bad - they don't have Texas-caliber players, but there's no reason to think that won't change. Their future is probably better then their present

Nice beach. Where?

Awesome. Was just in Maui so I still have the hankering for clear blue water.

This is my beach every weekend (Oahu windward):
Can confirm: life is better in Hawaii.

Why would three people down vote this. Seinfeld said comedians don't even want to play college campuses as they're all too offended at everything and don't laugh. Lighten up Francis. Good gravy.
January 21st, 2016 at 2:17 AM ^
Maybe because making fun of fat girls hasn't been funny since, I dunno, 6th grade?
