I played in a fire department charity golf tournament today at a local private country club. I noticed early on that there were a lot of tU fans playing in the tournament and low and behold up for bid during the silent auction was an autographed football by Darrell Royal. So not missing out on an opportunity to make more friends I bid .75 cents and it remained so until the end of the auction(minimum bid was $100). During the dinner, and towards the end of the auction someone noticed the bid and was laughing and talking about it up at the bid table when someone(I can't imagine who?) yelled out nearby "I'll give $300 for that football if you could get Hayden Fry's name on it" and a couple of oooh's and laughs from a table of Aggies and Red Raider's broke out(I was shocked that they got the joke, knowing who Hayden Fry is and all). Finally right at the end of the auction someone walked up and gave $110 for the ball.

Pretty funny, had to be there I suppose?

Oh Rickey!!!!!! Shame on you for not getting it on tape, posting it on YouTube, and sharing the entire experience here. Nice ZING on the tu-ers.

As for golf...was every hole a water hazard? Probably needed scuba gear on some of the low areas. Probably needed Swift Water Rescue on some of those creek shots. Put a life vest or water wings on the ball for the casual water.

      Is Portal Entry Necessary to Transfer?

      Wisconsin alleges Miami tampered in Xavier Lucas' transfer https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/43471646/wisconsin-alleges-miami-tampered-xavier-lucas-transfer "Lucas left the Badgers without officially entering the NCAA transfer portal, and his lawyer has said publicly that he'll transfer to Miami. Wisconsin said in its statement that Lucas entered into "a binding two-year NIL agreement" and a separate agreement with the school's collective.... Wisconsin's statement also said the school has "credible information indicating impermissible contract between Xavier and the University of Miami," calling Lucas' situation an indictment of how college athletics currently operates. The Big Ten called the information suggesting "tampering and contract interference" by Miami "very troubling."

      UTSA (1/18/25)

      They will come… When we play in a new arena, and The outside temperature is between 65 and 67 degrees, and We play a more exciting brand of basketball, and We play specific teams that excite them, and The game is late enough for them to make it after work, and The game is not so late that they can’t get home early, and Ticket prices are lower, and It’s the 30th of February. As soon as that happens…sell out!

      SMU 's New Facility

      I guess your day is complete. If you are a genuine SMU fan, why would even care what is on a NT board?

      Replay of North Crowley vs Westlake

      Kellen Moore, Philly OC, virtual interviewed yesterday. Robert Saleh, former Jets HC, interviewed today. Leslie Frazier, Seattle asst HC, will interview Monday. Sanders and JJ had a phone call last week; not heard of an interview scheduled yet but sure there will be one. Media is enamored with Sanders, as are a lot of fans wanting to stir things up. I'm personally not crazy about Kellen Moore (too subdued) but Draft Kings odds have him in the lead as of yesterday?? https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6062386/2025/01/17/cowboys-head-coach-odds-deion-sanders-kellen-more/ Betting odds for the Cowboys’ next head coach As of the afternoon of Jan. 17, these are the odds on DraftKings Sportsbook. Coach Odds Kellen Moore -125 Deion Sanders +175 Robert Saleh +300 Brian Schottenheimer +500 Ben Johnson +700 Kliff Kingsbury +850 Joe Brady +850 Aaron Glenn +850 Liam Coen +1000 Steve Sarkisian +1200 Jason Witten +1200 Leslie Frazier +1200 Brian Flores +1200 Bill Belichick +1200

      Replay of North Crowley vs Westlake

      Watched some of that last night and had a thought. Sanders is being mentioned as a possible HC candidate for the Cowboys. If that were to happen, I would imagine their recruits will start looking elsewhere. Quentin Gibson, WR from N Crowley, is one of those and was Chris Jimmerson’s favorite target and ended up the MVP of the state title game. Incredibly dynamic and reminds me of Darden. Would love to see us go after him. For those of you in the DFW area, any names that seem to be leading candidates to become Jerry’s new underling?
