Interesting debate and conversation I had recently.

Thought I’d ask here and pick your brains.

Futuristic but do you think Electric vehicles will one day be the only option to buy? Do you see gas pumps/fossil fuels eventually becoming a thing of the past? And how long do you think it would take?

For the record, I have a hard time ever seeing it happen because of the money involved alone. But what say you?

BTW: F aggy now, F aggy then, F aggy forevermore.

Sorry if I missed it. Is this game televised? ESPN+?

Alright, the main thread is long and lots of replies. This is for PS5 only - who would want to be in dynasty league? I’m not necessarily volunteering for commish, but someone would need too. I’ll have 2 young kids head deep in sports come fall, so taking on the responsibility of set up would be challenging but not impossible.

Just wanting to get a headcount and would be easiest in a dedicated thread.

I know all the world travelers on RRS will hook me up. Going to Italy next month, would appreciate a heads up on good places to eat in Siena/San Gio. Thanks in advance.

This is particularly odd. I don’t know how they expect people in the stadium to scan this thing. What do you all think?

Broke down Tech's 2023 football roster by which head coach recruited them to Lubbock. 72/120 (60%) of the players are at Texas Tech because of Joey McGuire. That said, several of Wells' recruits are some of the best players on the team, and both inside DT's are here because of Kliff.

As you can see, only 6 offensive lineman and 3 defensive lineman remain from Wells' recruiting. That said, he's responsible for basically all of Tech's offensive skill positions as well as 3 of the top defensive backs.

McGuire has really hit the trenches hard + look at all those young defensive backs. Wow.

Projected starter in bold

Unauthorized biography by Ian O'Connor who does great books. Got two hours interviewing Rodgers plus interviewed over 250 people for the book. Downloaded it yesterday and up to Chapter 4. Pretty interesting stuff so far about his granddad, parents and how hard he had to work just to make it to Cal! He will always hold a special place in my heart since I got to witness live the beatdown we gave him at the Holiday bowl back in '04 lol. One of my best Tech bowl game memories all time!

Book is gonna be a fascinating read IMO. Don't know if it will top the Agassi Autobiography I just finished, but it has a good start!

I paid for a Gilder/ sailplane and it was taken to a area 53 miles from Lubbock. I will buy a single place for them if it goes. Hobbs is one of best place on earth. Remember during the War Lubbock was big glider training base.

Once it gets going I will inform those that might be interested. Lubbock and Hobbs are some of the best Soaring in USA.

Rylie Morse a MF from Cincinnati Lebanon, OH has committed for the 2026 class.

We talk about the tough opener against No. 4 Penn State and how Texas Tech Soccer rebounded with a dominant 4-0 win over CSUN Sunday. Team has been hit with adversity / injuries to start the year but they showed some good things regardless as they are working through it and we highlight players that have flashed thus far. Then round it out with what's ahead for this team as they turn the page to week two with a home game Thursday vs St. Bonaventure and tough road test AT Utah State on Sunday. Enjoy!
