I had a bloodhound named Woodrow and a little pit mix named Gus.

I also have a full size replica of the Hat Creek sign my son-in-law made me. A first edition of the book.

If you've never been to the Witliff Collection at Texas State university, you should go see it. They've got all the memorabilia from the film as well as Witliff's photos from the set.
Sooners are in trouble with this kid. Best case is you make sure you burn him so he can't pitch again tomorrow.

we were sneaking onto the dunes at night in our trucks when it was scrub oaks and rattlesnakes. on 98, between PCB and Fort Walton Bch, there was a Green Knight Liquors. That was it.


Yep! We used to go to some bar. Night Town? I just remember a lot of women and driving back with one eye open.
Georgia is fighting for tomorrow. Long way from over.
Photo is AI generated, btw.
Destin is an SEC destination. Everyone reps their team on the beach with their hats, coolers and whatnot. Lots of Ole Miss, State, LSU, Alabama and Arkansas folks.

I practically lived there in my summers and always hung out around Silver Dunes back in its heyday. Then a lot of the Memphis crowd moved east down 30A. I remember the Back Porch when it was a shack.

I know this is super late but Rodriguez better be glad he’s good. What kind of asshat shakes his head at the pitcher after a called strike?


The game has changed and not necessarily for the better. If you'd done that against Bob Gibson, you wouldn't have a head after the next at bat.
That last pitch to Jackson was unhittable.
Texas uniforms look pretty sharp.
This game might be better than last night's game. SEC delivers.
Our organization worked with several kids, including Paul Maholm, that went to the big leagues. You just have to look at the coaching resumes. Most top organizations are going to have guys that pitched in college or some level of pro ball. But a lot of the top kids are getting private instruction from high level people all year. They'll know who the best coaches are in an area.
I didn't think he was going to get home in time. He was hobbling.
Glad Ben is doing the game.
OU swinging the bats early. You have to aggressive in championship play.

As to what we contribute, due to baseball alone we have a good claim to elevating the play of the conference. And excellence in this sport is not some recent phenomenon for us. We've been good in baseball for generations.


A great program. Several kids on our 18 and under showcase team ended up playing with State. Coach Polk was always close to our program, so the best ones usually signed with State. Paul Malhom was one. Jon Mungle. I always hope State does well.
Truth be told, Texas should dominate any sport it puts its heart into. Massive state with tons of talent. Lots of money. Excellent facilities. Great school in a great city.

The lack of dominance in track & field is hard to understand. Texas even produces a lot of good distance runners (Arkansas gets a lot of them). I watched the SEC meet and Texas finished 7th and 10th. I know they're better than that.
Good luck to the 'Horns. I'd like to see Kevan go out on top.

Got anything to add, Fathead?


Also good at jackassery, I see.
Congrats. Texas is good at water sports. When is the synchronized swimming team making its debut?
