For those that think we are this uber-talented team simply because we had a couple highly ranked recruiting classes let me remind them of who we really are. In 2018 we ranked 3rd in recruiting class. Sterns is gone. Green transferred. Foster has looked off in 3 different defenses now-miss. Overshown was recrutied as a safety but ended up being a 6'4 beanpole, so they moved him to play linebacker where he has upped his weight to 220lbs. Eagles is gone. Cook is finally looking like a player, and Joshua Moore, at 168lbs, still cannot defeat blocks quickly. We recruited 3 linemen in that class. 3 star Jones, Junior, and Reese who transferred. That left Junior and Jones. 2019's 3rd ranked class is much the same. Bru McCoy is on the West Coast with Jake Smith. J-Whitt was never a 5 star athletically, he was the physical strong guy in high school. Tyler Johnson and Hoofkin are the only O-line recruits in the class. We grabbed two juco tranfers. We grabbed some guys in 2020 for O-line but they were almost all undersized. If you look at the defense we are fielding right now we have a 220lb LB in Overshown playing next to a walk on. A former receiver playing safety next to a guy who has looked mediocre in 3 defenses now. No difference makers across the D-line. Those dudes are now playing in the NFL. Two solid corners and a good nickel. Anyone who has come in to play hasn't looked any better. On offense Card seems to have the tools but is maybe not ready for the spotlight. Casey is a Jag. Jones is a turnstile. Karic is not good and undersized. Majors is also undersized. Kerstetter is serviceable. Junior is solid. Running backs is all Bijan. RJ is a one cut and lower his shoulder guy. KR is fast but extremely small, can only really run speed stuff. TE we have blockers who aren't pass catchers and pass catchers who aren't blockers. No one can do both. Receivers, X can run away from anyone but that is only handy if you can block long enough for it. He cannot run routes. Moore is a skinny guy who lacks the physicality to shake a man quickly. J-Whitt is the physical guy who lacks speed. Other dudes are average to below average. You guys can argue all you want about if we have talent or not but just follow who gets drafted. Our draft numbers have dwindled significantly. The NFL knows a thing or two about evaluations. Right now we have probably 2 NFL guys on offense and 3 or 4 defense on the roster. Oklahoma State does too. We are inferior to other schools on the O-line, which is a huge disadvantage, even if you are slightly superior at skill position.20 points

I don’t think they are equivalent. I can see how a system could work and some countries have implemented it. They have things that make it work, like a national health system where doctors can upload and validate diagnoses and recovery. And that’s the only thing that works as a certificate— a diagnosis and recovery certification from the national provider. We can’t have that of course, we can’t even roll out a nationwide digital vax certificate. I’m unaware of any country that has some bizarre system of regularly testing various antibodies and although you say it’s logistically as easy as giving a shot and writing down when it happened, I frankly don’t believe you. I lived through the before regime of regular testing and the after regime (for me) of vaccination and it takes some serious fuzzy logic to not see that “after” is easier and cheaper for everyone involved. My other issue is that we’re talking about crafting this intricate and nuanced policy based on medical evidence for the sake of people who are absolutely removed from logical thinking. It can’t be stressed enough— the reasons for NOT getting the vax are entirely spurious. Even if you had COVID, the shot will not hurt you and will probably help. In fact, the most logical rationale is the adolescent “I don’t want to and you can’t make me,” all the others are grounded in a mishmash of disinformation, superstition, and incoherence. And this isn’t in a vacuum, either. It’s been building for a while. We get to enjoy 19th century Victorian ailments again because we extend this sort of tolerance to the confused and disingenuous. We could give a nod to it when it was a tiny fragment of known kooks who could coast on herd immunity. What happens when the next, deadlier pandemic comes along and we’ve established this pattern of deference to lunacy? I see vaccine mandates as not only public health, but a line in the sand in the battle for a shared reality of facts against alternative truth. You can believe junk, but we’re not going to give it a place in policy making. You keep talking about “punishment”. Getting a vaccine is not punishment, any more than brushing teeth is punishment to a three year old who doesn’t want to. To the contrary, loons and assholes are punishing the rest of us by needlessly prolonging this shit.19 points

I’m just done with concern trolling. You can play the game forever in this information environment. It’s time to flip the script and ask: under what conditions and with what information would these people be willing to take the vaccine. If you give a rational response (which includes having a standard similar to that you use for other medical decisions), then OK, let’s talk. But it’s funny, you never see that. There’s not a lot of people out there willing to say in concrete terms: this will convince me. And for those people— yes, absolutely, willing to use coercive measures (not punishment). Bioethics are great and I know professionals take them seriously. Tell me, though, what is ethical about taking an ICU bed and sucking resources when you could have a free shot instead. We’re tripping over ourselves to respect the principles of people who quite literally have none at at all.16 points

I said this in the O-line thread to the dismay of a couple posters and I will repeat it here. We are going to need to be able to run IZ for this offense to be all that is needs to be. Like @CHIEF is saying, go back and look at the play by play the last two weeks in the second half and what you will see is two defenses that adjusted to OZ and outside of a couple popped runs, shut it down. So right now what you have is a hodge-podge of plays that do not work with one another, giving us no built in constraint plays to fool defenses. Our passing plays aren't built off OZ, because there is not a whole lot of play action you can run off OZ. So teams aren't fooled when we drop back to pass. Couple that with the fact that the O-line is letting people through unblocked on a consistent basis and you have what's been happening in our second halves. It goes like this. We come out firing on all cylinders. Defenses start taking away the run game, getting us in long yardage situations. We cannot pass block long enough to punish them for playing inside of 10 yards. The QB hits all game start to affect the QB's clock, speeding him up, and taking him out of rhythm. That's what we saw against Arkansas, and any other game we struggled in. So what should be a pitch and catch screen pass to our most dynamic WR on 2nd and 1 with the defender 12 yards away, ends up being an errant pass thrown towards the LOS, right into the charging DB. Next play the QB is rattled on an easy Zone Read play where the DE immediately crashes down to tackle 5, and the outside(where the QB should go) would've been an easy first down, but rattled QB goes inside right into the back of his own line, loss of 2. 4th and 3, we drop back but rattled QBs eyes immediately come down to see the rush and he starts running not noticing Brewer just standing there for an easy flip for a 1st. Could we have called a handoff and got the 1st there? Sure, hindsight is always 20/20, but if those don't work we are here wondering why we didn't run a screen. If you are going back and watching the games with the emotion taken out this is what you are seeing. An O-line that doesn't hold up, which is causing all the other facets of the game to fold over the course of a contest. DO NOT OVERTHINK IT. Football is complimentary both negative and positive. Keep QBs clean and throws get made. QBs who get hit start making mistakes. Run the ball and the passing game opens up. Hold onto the ball on offense and your defense tends to play well for 4 qtrs. Most of these truths are as old as time.14 points

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has paid his first voter fraud bounty. It went to an unexpected recipient Nearly a year after offering up a hefty bounty for evidence of voter fraud in the wake of Donald Trump’s loss, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has handed out his first reward. But instead of going to an informant who smoked out fraud by Democrats, Patrick’s five-figure payout went to a progressive poll worker in Pennsylvania whose tip led to a single conviction of illegal voting by a registered Republican. The unexpected outcome reveals the political dangers of cash bounties. With few strings attached, and more cases of alleged GOP voting fraud still in Pennsylvania courts, Patrick may be asked to shell out even more cash to his opponents. This case also undercuts unsubstantiated GOP concerns that widespread voter fraud helped hand the White House to Joe Biden, political experts said. In Pennsylvania, a state that was central in Trump’s attempts to overthrow the election, around five cases of voter fraud from last year’s election have been prosecuted, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer — four involved Republicans. In an interview with The Dallas Morning News, tipster Eric Frank said he would have turned in anyone he saw voting illegally regardless of party. But as the scion of a family of Democratic operatives, he also acknowledged the irony of the situation. This week, Frank deposited $25,000 of Patrick’s campaign cash into his bank account. “It’s my belief that they were trying to get cases of Democrats doing voter fraud. And that just wasn’t the case,” Frank said. “This kind of blew up in their face.” Patrick’s spokesman Allen Blakemore declined to comment.10 points

"Landon Mitchell bragged to a Facebook friend that he “breached the Capitol” and was “one of the very first in” when a pro-Trump mob stormed the halls of Congress. He appeared in video on the floor of the U.S. Senate, went through a senator’s desk and took to the dais, where he posed next to the so-called QAnon Shaman. Later, when a friend feared that the FBI might arrest Mitchell, he wrote that he was “invincible” and “not too worried” because he “was masked up the whole time” he was inside the Capitol. The FBI arrested Mitchell on Wednesday. Mitchell was accompanied to the Capitol by Luke Wessley Bender, a former co-worker who was arrested by the FBI on July 29. Bender, the feds said, identified Mitchell during an interview after his arrest." https://www.huffpost.com/entry/landon-mitchell-capitol-riot-donald-trump_n_6170543ae4b066de4f5d49e710 points

I was not an investor, but I was incredibly involved. I placed my fucking shingle out for him, and acquired the space without proving a pot to piss in. I DID THAT. They took MY word, that he'd do what they inserted into the lease. He broke the lease, violated the fucking contract, threw away the keys to the safe that they gave him, and fucking blamed it on COVID. If anyone would like to fucking talk to me about it, be my fucking guest. My fucking name was on that shingle, not his. I'm still trying to get my foot back into the door of a career I'd proven myself in. Covid didn't help, but the best deal I'd ever brokered ended up fucking me. Because that client was too proud to just obey the rules.8 points

He is the American Id. He normalizes acting on barbaric Id impulses. See a women you like, grab her by the pussy. Want a lavish house, build it how you like, default on the credit, scam insurance, and stiff the contractor. Got beat up by a black dude?- assuage that shame by fucking over the rest of the blacks for the rest of your life. Feel shame for grifting, salve that shame by accusing others of the same, only its worse because they don't deserve it and you do. Fail at anything? - Blame others. Get caught being dishonest, blame others for causing a reality that made you have to be dishonest. Can't achieve something, blame others for that inability. Lawyer up over every little dick move. Stiff everybody- cuz reasons. Boast and give self pep talks to overinflate self worth and cast forth a huge snuggy blanket of false bravado to compensate for the shitty reality of your obese, out of shape, broke ass, pussy having to buy or pay off, raping, grifting, shitty ass self. Nah, the mirror on this country is unsurprising. WWE gets big ratings, build a library and people bitch.7 points

i mean, the dude basically tells the world on a public forum "I am not going to get arrested because no one knows it was me that did the crime. me. the writer of this post is the crime guy. the crime guy that no one can recognize. i did the crime. but because i was so careful no one could ever possibly figure out that i am the crime guy. which i am."7 points

The only reason you and other yokels on the Football Board keep saying this is because you can’t handle that reality. Our coaching can be that bad and has been poor in many aspects. Flood moving Kerstetter to Guard and putting Karic at Tackle was monumentally stupid. Kerstetter is a worse G than he is a T and Karic is worse than him, so Flood managed to make two spots worse against OU and that was a huge factor in costing us the game. Sark’s O has blown the doors off bad teams, but he gets way too vanilla in the middle of games, which we’ve seen the last two games now. 1 yard in the fourth quarter against OSU is a coaching deficiency, not a talent deficiency. On defense, I don’t even know where to begin. There’s been a laundry list of bad coaching and bad decisions. Our talent on defense isn’t great, but it’s nowhere near as bad as the D is performing right now. That’s on coaching. There’s a ceiling on this team due to talent issues, but CTJ could get closer to finishing a 100 yard dash without a couple water breaks than our coaches have gotten us to that talent ceiling.7 points

If you can stomach a rewatch of the OU game, many of the big plays OU had came against a perfect defensive call and dog shit execution by one or two players. Jerrin Thompson shitting himself on the 4th and 1 when Williams took it 60+ to the house is one example that immediately comes to mind. Also, Overshown can’t take on and shed a block to save his life. He’s fucked us all year with that. Alfred Collins is a beast, but he hasn’t quite grasped the importance of squeezing the B gap, which is problematic against the run. Now, does the coach bear some (most) of the responsibility for coaching these issues out of players or replacing those players? Sure. But is it reasonable to expect all those issues to be coached out of a kid in one year? I guess it depends on the kid. Anyway, I don’t think PK became stupid over night, and the defense was far better last week (albeit against an inferior opponent) than the week before and didn’t cave until the offense failed to pick up a first down in the final six drives. I liked Chris Ash a lot because his schemes were simple and his players were fundamentally sound. I wish Sark had kept him just for the sake of consistency and familiarity. But if that wasn’t going to happen, I can’t think of many available DCs who would’ve been better hires. I suppose we could’ve tried to money-whip Vennables and we did try to money-whip Muschamp. I truly think PK will end up being a good hire once the kids get a better understanding of their jobs and we get players better suited for the roles they’re assigned. I guess I’ll duck…7 points

Just saw this because another guy responded as well and I wanted to pile on. It didn't take ESP to understand that Herman wasn't going to work out at Texas. I was around to see and hear about a lot of his nonsense in Houston and Bellaire. The guy, in person, is a fucking idiot. There were problems causing things to start to fray inside of UH due to his behaviors. Darrell Wyatt, on his staff and connected at Texas, was asked for specific thoughts about him as a candidate. Wyatt gave them legitimate information that should have given them pause, but the admin pushed forward anyway. They also told Herman about what was said, after asking Wyatt for fucking help, and Herman cut Wyatt loose and didn't bring him back to Texas. Instead we were graced with the wonderful experience of having Drew Fucking Mehringer embarrass the program as the WRC for several years. Tom Herman's tenure at Texas wasn't a surprise and shouldn't have been to anyone here, even if the aforementioned information wasn't known. All you had to do was look at his inaugural staff and realize that, immediately, his tenure was fucked. He brought in one of the worst, least defensible P5 staffs of the last decade, surpassed perhaps only by the abject idiocy of his boy Chris Ash's first staff at Rutgers. Not coincidentally, both included the pure imbecile, Drew Fuckhead Mehringer.6 points

Pro-tip. Go park at the original Ninfa's on Navigation. Free parking. Pound a couple beers and/or a margarita and they will drive you to the game for free in their shuttle that runs non stop to and fro the game. If you want to leave early they will pick you up 7th inning or earlier. Any later than that and it's walk 2 or 3 blocks to the pick up site. Best deal running in my opinion. Probably have to call for reservations at Ninfa's but not reservations for the shuttle.6 points

In the midst of all of the other shit flying around and slapping us up one side and down another, we've now got two of the more congenial posters in a fucking pillow fight. This place is coming apart at the seams. Devin Brown is seriously interested in Texas and Texas won't let Murphy's commitment stop them from taking him. They also feel really good about the Arch recruitment, so you have to believe they simply do not feel very good about their outlook for what is currently on campus.6 points

If the standard the staff was being held to was 7-0 and being in the top 10, then sure they would have to make chicken salad out of chicken shit, but when the standard is just being better than 8-4 and 3 losses in conference, which is the realistic ceiling at this point, then they have more than enough to work with. Anyone who thinks this team isn’t talented enough to go at least 9-3 doesn’t have a good grasp on our personnel. Part of the reason this team doesn’t look talented is because this staff has shown they don’t understand our personnel and they’re not getting the most out of our players.6 points

Interesting quote from Cora during the 2018 ALCS that reads like this series: I have nothing against Alex Cora, he seems like an excellent manager who commands the respect of his players and has their backs always, but it is especially annoying to see these redemption stories told about him in the national media while they blissfully ignore the investigation into the Red Sox that happened after the Astros scandal. The guy had a role in two different cheating investigations and is getting his ass-kissed by Fox Sports and ESPN, meanwhile Carlos Beltran is still unemployed and Jeff Luhnow--who was found to have no knowledge or role in the scheme itself--is basically black-balled from MLB. There's a whole lotta wrong in this.6 points

This. It is why I personally do not have any more patience for people arguing about natural immunity. Even though it probably is true that people who *actually* got COVID have protection at least as good as vaccinated people. They got vaxxed the hard way. (And measured antibodies do not tell the whole story about amount of protection.) Where it ranks in the Moderna, Pfizer, J&J standings I don't know. But that is not really what those people are arguing, in reality it is just oppositional toddler syndrome.6 points

I remain moderate, which I know we as Americans are not allowed to be. We showed we can play great and we've shown we can lay a fart. Very very few coaches can make enough of an impact so quickly to change behavior. Our program has had a losers mentality since 2010 IMO. 'scared to death, throw up in the tunnel type shit. To expect Sark to change mindsets in 8 months is a stretch. To expect a real change in 2 years, probably reasonable. To change in 4 years, absolutely. So I am not guzzling kool-aid after Arkansas (OU and OSU bothered me less) but I also think its unfair people already writing off the entire next 4 years. 2 cents done.6 points
