  1. He must have finally gotten that product branding he was looking for ala Bijan. Introducing Xavier Worthystershire Sauce. It’s salty as fuck, just like X!

  3. Jaylan Ford didn’t call anybody ugly. He played his ass off and earned that award. He got screwed, not UT. And it’s okay to point out the injustice done to that kid.

  4. Worthy needs to get better in several areas, but we did him no favors by continuing to ask him to do things he isn't strong at. He's at his best on the crossers, screen game, redzone area where he can beat DB's with his route running and the intermediate game over the middle. He is actually a really physical player who will lower his shoulder on DB's if he has them 1 v 1. He's not a 50/50 deep ball winner down the field. That was supposed to be Neyor's role but unfortunately his injury meant we had to ask Worthy to do everything. Not only will improved QB help, but Neyor coming back and/or others receivers coming in and stepping up is going to allow us to maximize Worthy's skillset better.

  7. If Xavier Worthy entered the portal, he would be the #1 receiver in the portal for the next 45 days. Period. Every single program in the country would crawl over broken glass to have a guy with his talent who has 21 TD’s in 24 career games despite crappy QB play for quite a few of those 24 games. Let’s not try to downplay his talent or pretend other teams would be uncertain if they wanted to push.

  8. We've invited Texas and OU to join the SEC. But we had a gentleman's agreement that you wouldn't! Well, now the gentlemen have decided the conference would be better and stronger with Texas and OU. Well, then, we're so angry we might just leave and go somewhere else. You can't make it without Texas A&M! We're rich and we're making you rich. Just watch us leave! We've got Oklahoma State on speed dial. Well you can't make us vote for letting tu in! We'll show our spine and grit and vote against it! The vote will be unanimous. Or we can call Okie State.... Now now! Don't do that. Throw us a bone. Anything. Can we play the first game against them at home? Let me make a call. Hey guys, Aggy has a proposition.... Ok, they say they don't much care. The first game will be at Kyle Field. We run this conference! Whoooop! Poooor t-sips!

  11. I think the DPOY pick for the K-State DE is the more egregious oversight than Duggan over Bijan. Nearly 40% of KSU dude's sacks for the season came in one game against Texas Tech. He got nada against Texas and TCU. Ford was a difference maker all season long and got robbed.

  14. While we’re making this the talk about Worthy’s play thread, the biggest issue with Worthy this year was Sark’s usage of him. Worthy’s best attribute is that he can make cuts at full speed and he’s also extremely good after the catch. Throwing a ton of deep balls doesn’t utilize either of those skills. He was much more effective last year when we hit him in WR screens, crossers, etc. and let him get separation and then run after the catch. Hopefully Neyor returning will fix some of that, but Sark still did a poor job utilizing him this year regardless. After that, I’d say the issue is pretty evenly split between Ewers throwing some really terrible deep balls and Worthy being bad at tracking/adjusting and not doing a good job of fighting DBs for position.

  17. Think Ewers and Xavier just aren't on the same page--were early on but some break downs along the way have offset any kind of timing they established. Ewers absolutely throws receivers open or will throw to a spot--which is why it looks like the ball is out in nowhere when they miss. He's shown early on that he has plenty of touch and anticipation, but when guys drop passes and every play is the touchdown long ball, then both parties over compensate. There's also some bad play calling--mix in some intermediate routes, quick slants, cuts and come back to the ball. These are all plays where quick receivers can absolutely shake coverage. I think Xavier can operate in a phone booth but on deep balls, really isn't asked to when it's just go deep. That's also not fully utilizing his skills--move him around. I think Xavier's equivalency in the college game, or could be, is more Marquise "Hollywood" Brown. I'd probably really look at Brown's utilization when he was at OU (burns the eyes) and how he got the ball all over the field. Furthermore, wtf is Sark doing--when the qb is off, how about building him up to the deep pass rather than relying on it. Get the offense moving--if the defense wants to give up the underneath, take it. It'll tire them out more than just running deep for 3 and out and then punting, but force the safeties to back off--and utilize some screens to open the run game. Sark and Ewers got in a rut and the offensive play was caught on a short loop for awhile during TCU. I don't know what to do about blitzing up the middle except.... Vary the damn snap count--like a bunch. Practice it so the line doesn't jump but vary it more and collect penalties. TCU was timing their rushes in anticipation. Vary it a few times and they absolutely would've jumped offsides. Instead they changed it after that game, rather than during. But again, practice it so that the line doesn't move. Random thoughts before giving up on Xavier. I go knee jerk about letting him walk but he's a top risk that could offer a lot of benefit if everything get's ironed out. And yes, you can work on catching over the shoulder throws or opposite shoulder throws. Just do it regularly. The other thing that has been great about Worthy is that he pretty much has stayed healthy, which is a bonus that you can't guarantee in the portal.

  18. You keep claiming that you're above it and it's the institution but you've had a bigger change than anyone since the announcement. You were never such a whiny baby before. Just like here where you try to turn a conversation about how Texas players got blatantly snubbed for awards into a conversation about money, contracts, and how snobby fans are. When we want an important opinion about the snubs we won't ask the fan of the last place team, I assure you.

  20. I'm offended that they have chosen to take it out on Bijan and Ford. It was bad enough that the refs in the OK Lite game and the Baylor game (same crew maybe?) chose to call one penalty for 2 yards in 8 quarters of football on Texas opponents. But to name Max Duggan over Bijan and Anduike-Uzomah over Ford is bull. I get it, they want to exact a pound of flesh for us leaving but I HATE them for taking it out on our players. I wonder how much they would try and fine us for removing all Big XII logos from our fields, stadiums and uniforms.

  21. No, Texas fans aren’t perfect. What’s holding Texas back is Texas. Neither Iowa State nor anyone else is responsible for that. The stats on the penalties called, or not called, in Texas and OU games are extremely unlikely to have occurred that way due to chance. This place puts a lot of blame on Texas for Texas’ failures. On Sarkisian. On CDC. On the big money donor culture. Pretending otherwise isn’t intellectually honest. “Leeches” is a strong word because the Big 12 was voluntary, but let’s not pretend that the Iowa States of the conference don’t benefit disproportionately from being in with Texas relative to what Texas gets from associating with Iowa State.

  27. Tunmise Adeleye is not a "spare". The fucking guy was a starter this year until he got hurt. He was starter ahead of all of the other top 50 guys (like him) on the roster. We don't have to conflate issues here. Frankly, we can debate the premise that Lane and LJ Johnson were "spares" as well. Lane played plenty during his time on campus. Johnson was another top 50 guy from two classes ago. Aggies can spin it how they like, but none of these guys leaving is because they're being processed out. Denver Harris was a 5 star. I think Marshall unbelievably wound up as one as well. The Williams guy was highly rated OT. Lucas was a highly rated DT. Those guys are from the most recent vaunted class. Even if no one else joins the portal, that is a fuckton of highly rated attrition immediately. Also, there will be more guys entering the portal, to say nothing of the guys that also look at doing so in the spring.

  28. The pain being felt by the middle class is not being inflicted by the IRS. It’s being inflicted by corporations and the ultra wealthy being able to essentially buy governmental policy that allows them to pocket obscene wealth that used to be more uniformly distributed through society. I think everyone here is open to discussions about how to re-establish economic strength within the middle class in this country, but you are going to have to present more cogent ideas that exhibit an understanding of the problem.

  39. https://hms.harvard.edu/news/organ-donations-transplants-increase-days-largest-motorcycle-rallies?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark The number of organ donations and organ transplants goes up markedly during large motorcycle rallies, according to a newly published analysis led by researchers at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. The research, which appears Nov. 28 in JAMA Internal Medicine, shows that in the regions where the seven largest motorcycle rallies were held throughout the United States between 2005 and 2021, there were 21 percent more organ donors per day, on average, and 26 percent more transplant recipients per day, on average, during these events, compared with days just before and after the rallies. “The spikes in organ donations and transplantations that we found in our analysis are disturbing, even if not entirely surprising, because they signal a systemic failure to avoid preventable deaths, which is a tragedy,” said study first author David Cron, HMS clinical fellow in surgery at Mass General. “There is a clear need for better safety protocols around such events.” Organ recipients:

  40. Worthy would be a HUGE loss to this roster if he leaves. He's a stud that had a bit of the sophomore slump. Crazy how fans are ready to push him out the door.
