Dooley said the NCAA cloud severely impaired his first two recruiting classes; top recruits who had UT at the top of their list melted away with no explanation. Yet he didn't blame the other schools for using the threat of sanctions against us (he admitted he might've done the same).

It's amazing that we had two top 15 classes in retrospect. Now... it's Katy bar the door.

No, but I think more commits will come after the first couple of home games (theres a ton of official visits coming)..

One thing to keep in mind - players already comitted to other schools did so with the thought that UT would face sanctions. Brian Kimbrow mentioned it openly, as an example. Now all he has to do is witness a few commode beat-downs and surely he'll make a wiser choice. There may be others in that category.

Yeah, that's basically what I was thinking of and worried about. It's good we've got a lot of visits comming up then. News of of the NCAA verdict has gotten around by now. They come in and see the atmosphere we have (which is second to none) on a big time, national stage then we'll rope some of them in.

The pic looks fine here. Then again, if some of it is cropped or something, I wouldn't know it since I haven't seen the original.

I love the cooler(s). Sweet idea.

What are the bags of quickrete for? In case Rat shows up you going to make him some "shoes" to wear prior to tossing him in the river? Be careful if you do that. I bet there is some littering laws and such. The Fuzz won't like it if you toss trash in the river.

Puter, I'm gonna try to make the game on Saturday. First one since the 90's.

It is still easy to get tickets pregame? The only ones left at the ticket office are in ZZ

I've never had tickets before a game, always been able to get some at a price I was OK with but didn't know if they were still available like they used to be.

Also, where is your new tailgating spot? I might drop by and say hi.

New van this year, puter?
Deep thought of the day: "I was adopted. I thank my birth mother every day for not aborting me (although I wouldn't doubt her decision if she did)."

Okay first what does img2 tag do different?

No it's not a new van. Someone's else's car for getting stuff. We talked a guy into buying the cooler. It was $150 but it includes six bottles of jäger or around $120 worth of jäger....sold.

Concrete is to make some more weights for tents since we don't have the rails to anchor them as in old spot.

The new spots between g10 and t Boling at street level. Nice piece of grass for our groups.
