This girls’ parents and family all bled orange. You could pick out their house around Christmas because the giant ‘UT’ spelled out on their room with Christmas lights. She even bled orange and since I had known her always talked about going to Texas. She actually got accepted to both, but ended up choosing A&M for her…

Certainly a lot more understanding of a “punishment” for not supporting your own team/future teammates, though I still don’t think anything should really be done about it (though I don’t see it as wrong if the player ended up having to do some extra gassers... sports punishments in high school were often based on…

You know what we would do in high school if someone sat on the other side of the field and wore the color of our cross-town rivals of 50+ years (which we won last night by 33 points)?

Ha, he might be the next Favre in terms of interceptions (I at least kind of like Favre, so the last thing I want to do is compare him and Manziel). From what I’ve read there’s no plans on changing his throwing motion, the head coach was talking about how just a day of rest or two should be all he needed (and since…

I believe I’ve posted this before but I also think it was one of my first posts, so hopefully it’s forgivable. Of course, it is over nine minutes long, so if not, it’s understandable (though it is a really good 9 minutes).

And their Facebook posts also speak for themselves.

Did anyone try out Pandora’s day without ads? You could tell it was a day without ads, because every few songs you’d get a 30 second interruption to your station telling you about how you won’t be hearing ads today. Also they were promoting their new day pass thing. But that still doesn’t make it an ad, even though…

My favorite moment didn’t come from the original PlayStation (though I had a lot of fun moments with it, mostly with random demo discs, especially the Tony Hawk one), it came from the first time I saw and played GTA:III on the PS2. I can’t remember the last time a game has given me that same feeling.

Sounds about right. I recall even 5+ years ago ESPN made it a point to completely ignore some sports and have a you should care about this! attitude about others.

That really hasn’t affected sports that much for me, though. Deadspin takes up 90% of the sports stuff I look at online and I was still visiting Deadspin back then (the other 10% is actual sports stuff, like scores or football forums, which was also something I did back then). SportsCenter just isn’t as entertaining…

given how bad ESPN programming decisions have been in the last half decade ... there’s just no reason to watch it

Ha, yea it’s always nice when people start getting the hint. That cat... definitely had a ‘more evil than most cats’ vibe. They have another one that was familiar with me so was always trying to get attention from me. By the time I left that cat pictured allowed me to touch its tail, anything more than that it would…

I don’t know of any around here that travel further than 100 miles to a game, which is much less than the 300 miles that 3A-6A might travel. But that’s for West Texas, once you get to East and Hill Country you get games even just ~20 minutes away.

That makes sense, I was thinking those places (and Staten Island, I think that’s one of the boroughs) might have the room for fields. Basically going off my knowledge of the area from what I’ve seen on Law & Order, I think they did a few lacrosse episodes.

I wouldn’t think any schools in NYC (Manhattan, at least) would have them, at most maybe a lacrosse or soccer team (in terms of field sports). High-school teams here basically do anything they can to field a football team, with the smaller ones have six-man teams.

In my city’s metro area, there’s a high school with half that enrollment and 20x the stadium capacity (2,700 students, stadium holds 10,000 people).

Right?

Way off. Not saying Permian was good when I was in high school, but just that they’re one of those teams that have history. Even my own high school didn’t have anything major to boast about since the 50s, but the history was still there (and of course a few years after I graduated they went and won a title).

I’d be on board with that. Would give me some more Dillahunt as well, I believe.

10,000 isn’t even that big of a stadium (at least in the district my high school was in). Our football team played regular season games in stadiums of 15,000 to 20,000. Counting stadiums that are only used by one football team (because one college and two high schools use one stadium).. there are three (two college…
