All of this is why the mood is what it is. We watched two years of football at that level after wandering the desert for 13 years with almost entirely mediocre to bad teams. This year feels more like the latter. The difference between last year's offense - a good but not great unit - and this year's would make an uninitiated observer assume there were major rule changes in the sport. 2010 is a comp but it's not the only one. 2010, 2011, 2014, and 2017 all featured strong defenses paired with bad offenses helmed by young QBs struggling to find their way. They all finished the regular season within a game of .500 and were 0-4 against a slate of OU teams that weren't particularly special, with the exception of 2017. That script is hardly unique to Texas either. Recent OU teams in 2022 and 2024 had the same fate. Michigan had the same fate last year, though they got the payoff of upsetting Ohio State. The list goes on. It's basically impossible to contend for championships solely on the back of one unit in modern football. Barring a miracle it's pretty obvious where this is going. I wouldn't be shocked if we get to 8-4; we have 3 G5's instead of 2 and a generally soft conference schedule (I think we're going to beat Florida; Arch puts balls in the turf and the stands, Lagway puts them in defender's chests). Though I'd favor them at this point (you can still get OU anywhere from +6.5 to +9.5, apparently), anything can happen in Dallas and the front 7 is going to give OU fits. We could beat aggy, their defense is still bad and Collin Klein seems determined to counterbalance his playing career against Texas in his coaching career. But there are plenty more L's coming and the trip to Georgia is going to be humbling.

I’m the definition of generic white guy, a moniker that my wife has bestowed upon me with affection, and I also don’t get it. It’s just a lack of humanity to me. -
What about him talking about how there used to be bunches of shootings at baseball games until all the baseball games had armed guards. Airports too, according to Charlie there used to be a bunch of mass airport shootings until we posted up armed guards. And the crowd cheers this on?

I have noticed that OL recruiting hasn't been very good after Kelvin Banks and Cam Williams. Lots of big, heavy 3 stars, which means Kurt Flood has to develop them physically and technique-wise. Stroh, Robertson, Goosby, and Baker haven't been developed for strength. The penalties show the issue with technique training. College football is about coaches. They either got stupid or lazy.

AJ makes sure all his QBs have bad footwork.

And that's the thing, as an ethnic person, I do not understand. What does making an informed decision look like for you? What are you prioritizing? For me I am prioritizing mine and my family's personal safety first and foremost. Is this person I am voting for going to be hostile to me or people I love? If I can check that box then I move on from there. So obviously for me, a black guy with a teenage daughter, the Republican party is out in box number one. I try to imagine what it would be like to be white, and what my first box would be. I feel like I would still be concerned with my wife and daughter's well being first and foremost. How does one arrive at "I am okay with people like Charlie Kirk and Nick Fuentes being influential to my kids as long as the party does XYZ". I am being honest when I say I do not understand it. I feel like I would want that gross ideology as far away from my family as I can get it. For us black people, conservatives have been a danger to us since 1865. We can be counted on to support whichever party the conservatives ARE NOT in. The few blacks that vote alongside conservatives are largely the self-loathing blacks(Candace Parker). The rest of us vote for self preservation first, and THEN we look at the issues second. -
I got my neighbor laid last night. My wife and I were at it, and let's just say she's a moaner, and a loud one at that. After we were done and getting ready for bed, I could hear my neighbors going at it as well. The sound of balls slapping on on ass cheeks is unmistakable. The guy owes me a beer.

My old roommate was from Taiwan but grew up in Ecuador. He always freaked the construction crew out when he bust out in perfect Spanish. -
Can we place some of the blame on Warby Parker? Maybe Arch had less than successful lasic surgery in the off-season? I mean, we know squints eyesight devolved after he left high school so.. None of this makes sense to me, how can he possibly be more accurate as a backup, and then regress after an entire off-season and fall camp as the starter?

My BIL said he wants this song at his funeral. I don't blame him.

Agreed. He struggled mightily against a terrible Bears defense until quarter 4. A team who gave up 52 to Detroit today. Michigan could have plugged in any ol Joe Blow at QB and got the same result. I mean, he himself was any ol Joe Blow.

LSU and South Carolina's offenses looked just as bad as ours or even worse. LSU can't run the ball for shit and Sellers has looked just as lost as Manning and can't stay healthy. -

I don't really do anything fun with it, but now that I have the garage cleaned out and can leave the top down perpetually, I just love driving this thing. The gas mileage sucks but I don't really go anywhere for the most part. I think it looks badass with the top down, too. Alas soon it will be sleeting and I will need to get the hard top back on. -
Stadium pron? Dauber/Patrick Star on the call. Kibbie approaching GILF age range.
