    Sure it will pop up on Youtube a day or two after. Surlyhorns might be your best shot at finding a stream.

    My chickensh!t Ma & Pa Backyard Toolshed Cable Company here in Marble Falls literally gives me LHN on 4 channels for reasons I cannot fathom...2 HD and 2 SD. I'd give one of them to Drebin if I could.

    @Frank Drebin you're not missing anything other than about 6 dropped passes and 2 QBs who would like to scramble when needed but are not allowed to. Bijan is stupid good, I hope they just sit him now, he doesn't need reps, he's just special.

    I've never watched a spring game before and I'm beginning to realize why. Back to the bbq pit.

    eta: I was just told Dicker drilled a 60 yard FG with room to spare

    Apparently Thompson threw a 95 yard pick 6 to Jameson. I'm frankly more interested in the baseball and volleyball teams right now. Wake me up when they play real football, I'm cool with whatever Coach wants to do as long as it involves putting the ball in Bijan's hands 25 times a game, minimum.

    eta: I will say the UT v Okie St baseball game is hilarious. Few fans, no broadcasters, but mics on the field. You can hear every single bit of creative profanity from both dugouts and the batter/pitcher.

    Practice reports on WRs haven’t been favorable and that showed to be true today. Way too many drops including a TD bomb by Thompson. Both him and Card looked pretty good otherwise.

    Not much to take away overall though. Looks like we’ll have a legit QB battle come the fall.

    Also nice WR addition to 21 class. 4th ranked player out of Cali just got out of his NLI with Michigan. Elite speed.

    Good call Gucci! Game was up on youtube a few hours afterwards.

    Boy Bijan is good! Prince Dorbah made some plays which was nice considering no real news on him during the spring.

    QB competition still very much up in the air. I trust in Sark. I get the sense Thompson prefers to run/scramble a little too soon before going completely through his progression, while Card might wait a little too long in the pocket hoping something opens up and he can laser one out.
    O line needs work pass blocking but should be good opening holes for the RB's. Secondary didn't get tested much and everything was very vanilla, naturally.
    Overall, the commentators seemed positive about the vibe around the program. Guys are having fun playing for Sark. In his interview, Sark really does seem like a genuine and caring human being. I'll take some more of that Kool-Aid right about now, thank you!

    One of the bigger surprises was Card not getting some reps with the ones which Sark could happen. Not sure what to make of it, if anything, but that 2nd OL unit struggled most of the game. Card’s TD pass to Washington was a beauty.

    Homeless situation is a bit dicey but everyone should agree that this is a really stupid take.

    Austin is slowly turning into Seattle.

    Exactly how is this a stupid take?

    And yes I've lived in Austin for a couple of years, not that that should matter.

    Couldn't stand the homeless hitting me up for money on Guadalupe back then and I cant imagine that it's better in today's climate.

    Austin thanks you for leaving. You are not missed.

    Also, I can't believe THAT's what you want to comment about right now. Good lord.

    What do you want me to comment on?

    I dont miss Austin although I do enjoy the fruits of extracting money out of the Austin economy.

    When my brother was at school there, after me, late 90's, he had some shaggy hair and a guitar and between classes he'd post up on Guadalupe or around the Quad and kill time. One day this family comes by and starts talking to him, asking if he's ok and everything. Then they gave him 2 pairs of socks and a toothbrush and soap and....that's when he realized "these people think I'm homeless"

    Absolutely tragic. Prayers to the Ehlinger family and everyone at UT who knew Jake.

    Did your brother never tell you about what goes down in West Campus while he was in school?

    Edit: I see you were responding to Brian Davis' tweet about Prop B, not Jake Ehlinger's death.
