Wow; I know a lot of people that graduated from A&M who have used their college education to become very successful, just as I know many people that accomplished the same with degrees from UT. The technical side of the petroleum business is well represented by top notch engineers with...

4 to 6 feet waves.

I don't know whether Swoopes can be a good Div 1 QB or not; the jury is out in my mind. I do toss this question out: why are the coaches interested in offering a scholarship to Wittek? Could be they see something in Swoopes that concerns them. Or I prefer to think they want 3 QBs capable of...

Agree with you. It's more difficult to attract OOS kids due to distance but wherever UT can get talented kids is fine by me. It's been awhile since I looked it up but Texas has a population of 26 million or so with whites and blacks making up about 15 million. (Yea, a bit prejudiced but...

Thanks for the advice. I should have been more precise. I did top dress about 2 weeks ago with composted manure I bought from a commercial dirt/mulch distributor in Houston. While I was feeling my age spreading it around, the easy method of chemical fertilizer came to mind. From your answer, I...

What's better: standard chemical fertilizer like Scott's etc or spreading manure over the yard? Or maybe another way to express the question; is the additional work to top dress with manure worth the time and effort?

On the tangent topic of this thread, I have no problems with A&M fans (or fans from other schools) posting defendable opinions in an adult fashion. That's better in my mind than the knee jerk reaction of stay off "our" board if your opinion is negative. To me, it makes it more interesting to...

I agree with your comments Tulsahorn. It's a team game. If one would re-watch that game now, one would notice that many of the 2005 Longhorns had a great pro career (excluding, unfortunately Vince). Additionally, I think it would have been better if Manziel did not make that interview; kept...

If you're being economic, I suggest you look at the Taurus brand. The company took over a Beratta plant in Brazil and make a similar gun. It is a bit less expensive than comparable guns. As for using a handgun for practice, you can but an inexpensive .22 caliber and use that for target practice...

I'm in favor of moving past Major Applewhite as a coach. His offense appeared to me to be similar to Greg Davis' schemes/plays. I know this year the offense was severely limited after Ash was injured but still, the offense was very predictable and the running plays were slow developing. Our...

I'm not too concerned about the process and am excited about Charlie Strong. His selection and his interest is logical to me. He was a successful DC. He was successful at L'ville as a HC. To be successful there is a big deal to me considering it is smack in the middle of a lot of other good...

Thanks. I think this latest report is the best I've read since finding this site about a month ago. It better acknowledges the uncertainty of the selection process. IMO, Harbaugh if he is offered and accepts, would be a good choice. One element many posters never mention is the academic...

Not throwing rocks at what you are hearing and from whom but it makes no sense to me. Mack Brown publically announced his resignation. In addition, he accepted a non-coaching position with UT and for that simple reason, filing a lawsuit makes no sense to me. It also appears contrary to his...

After reading all the speculation and opinions, I have found it interesting in that 1) No one formally associated with UT has announced No, MB will not be retiring as the head coach, and 2) Nick Saban will remain the coach at Alabama. I acknowledge all the smoke so somewhere is the fire. And...
