I'm guessing that he had some AP classes in HS, but yeah - impressive. Did he graduate HS early and start at NT in the spring?

In my backyard! Interesting - families move to have their kids attend Clements because of its academic reputation, not athletics. When you think of football in Ft Bend ISD, you would more likely think of Elkins, Bush, or B.F. Terry - NT has had players from each of those H.S. Maybe his parents got confused when they decided where to live - Clements H.S. is on Elkins Road 😋

Austin, not San Antonio. Discuss...

The support structure for the wing is steel, not concrete. I suspect that it was designed that way not so much to keep costs down, but to make it easier to remove and replace when it came time to expand the stadium.

Well, it's time to put this up:

It's only half of a stadium: https://www.google.com/maps/@29.6926196,-95.5113861,270m/data=!3m1!1e3

I wasn't sure whether to react with "Haha" or "Confused" - decided on "Haha"

@Marty, the topic title should be... Derek Thompson Update 🤪

Or... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Rothstein

I'll buy that!

OK, but find another way to say it in one sentence!

Great name! I don't suppose he's a descendant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elmore_James

I take it you don't consider the 10+ year home & home with SMUt to be comparable. 😋

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ to ESPN for a succinct and CORRECT explanation!

Bonus for@PlummMeanGreen - there's some vintage Astrodome footage for ya! RIP, Bob Watson

Hey, I was sorta inspired...

... kind of like a picture of the tower after an NT victory, only different...

Scott Hall was from Schertz, wasn't he? Not that I think he (Hall) would be involved in recruiting Bush, just looking to confirm.

Where's the "after halftime" photo, showing how many had left?

My first thought: "Follow the money"; "Deep pockets" My second thought: Change Ohio to New York, and see what the NY Dept of Revenue thinks. If they have any evidence that a person worked even a day within NY state, they'll expect taxes to be paid. My third thought: Win at gambling in any state that has an income tax, and that state will take their share.

I guess I needed to look again - 2030 is the first game of a home & home. So I guess either this year is a one-off, or it's the first of a 2-1. 2032 at Kansas North Texas at Illinois

Look again. It's just going to take almost a decade. 2030 Southeast Missouri Colorado at North Texas Florida Atlantic
