It's been 13+ years of watching Texas football step on rakes in every direction, repeatedly. I've seen less embarrassing public displays from drunk grown men attempting to footrace one another through a casino. Multiple presidential elections during that span have been less embarrassing. Jeffrey Toobin and Louis CK were thankful that Texas football was running interference for them at different points. Look, it's been a bad run. I get it. But this year isn't that. This board does not have to shit itself in panic every time an opponent with a winning record shows up on the schedule. Hell, it doesn't even take a winning record. There are multiple voluminous posters on this site that predicted Baylor, fucking rape-enabling Baylor!, who had just barely beaten some school called "Long Island University", to beat Texas. I checked and it's not even clear that Long Island U is an accredited university. That win lifted the Baylor record to a gaudy 1-2 before we pummeled them. Get a fucking grip. Texas is about win its 7th straight against Kansas State by stomping a deep mudhole in Kansas State's ass. They may have to blackout the final quarter on television in order to protect the psyches of women and small children. "But closetojumping, Kansas State is streaking right now! We're catching them at the wrong time!?!" Kansas State is indeed a rolling ball of butcher knives. They haven't given up a touchdown in 9 quarters! They've won 3 games in a row. Who does that! Who does that? Teams that play 3 shitty teams in a row, 2 at home, do that. Kansas State was losing to Texas Tech in Lubbock before Tech had to insert their 3rd string freshman QB who had never taken a snap in P5 football. Sadly for our good friends at Tech, that 3rd string freshman with no experience was named ... (checks notes) ... "Jake Strong" and not Arch Manning. Following the defeat of rising 3-5 juggernaut Texas Tech in Lubbock in comeback fashion, KSU has had the luxury of being home for the mighty 4-4 TCU Horned Frogs. TCU has beaten such football titans as Nicholls State, BYU, UH and SMU, 3 of them at home and the other at the formidable TDECU fortress in front of 12,000 slovenly UH fans. Last week, KSU ran roughshod over the mighty Houston Cougars at home to the tune of 41-0. That game followed two jihad games in a row for UH, both at home, where they played their guts out. Please spare us any concepts of the transitive property mattering at all here with a like opponent. No one needs to suffer that indignity. It's not applicable. The reality is that Kansas State plays ugly on the road. They've lost two games as favorites to Missouri and Okie State when KSU was perfectly healthy and experienced. Requiring teams to sojourn in the podunk hillbilly shithole of Manhattan, KS takes more than a little wind out of the sails for any team unfortunate enough to have to visit there. I drove by that area last summer on a road trip and felt depressed just being within physical range of that soul-sucking dump. Texas has homefield advantage in this game and that's not a difference that should be poo-pooed. Part of Chris Klieman's folksy midwestern charm is that he can dial-up the underdog story with his team when they're playing in front of the home crowd. The dynamic shifts dramatically when preaching to inferior talent and inferior intellects who are about charge out onto a field in front of better talent being urged on 100,000 fans that KSU players and coaches will, deep down in their tiny minds, know are simply better than them. "But CTJ, KSU returns their whole OL!! They have 2 QBs! One of them even had a a hit single called 'MMMBop' back in the day! We're in deep shit on defense!" Kansas State does indeed run an efficient offense and they have excellent experience across the offensive line. Cooper Beebe at LG might be an All American. Don't ever watch film of his performance and then consider that of our own Hayden Conner in comparison. It leads to dark thoughts and some pretty disturbing kidnapping fantasies. Anyway, the rest of the OL isn't covering itself in glory, particularly against better competition. They are indeed old though. The Texas pass rush should have an overall field day against these guys. KSU has faced nothing even similar to the Texas front 7. T'Vondre Sweat is going to pull a chokehold buttfuck on the right side of their OL along with Hill, Sorrell and the gang. KSU is going with a 2 QB system now, which is a smart move given that Will Howard can't stand success and will actively try to lose games against any opponent with a pulse. His performance against Okie State was eerily familiar for me and felt like watching a rerun. Weird. He's a decent runner, so you can't ignore his legs. Like many mediocre QBs, pressure leads to mistakes for Howard and he'll go through periods where he can be a turnover machine. Enter freshman phenom, Avery Hanson. After a middling career as the third wheel in a traveling brother folk band, he's turned towards a more promising role as the change of pace QB when Will Howard's averageness simply won't do. Hanson's dulcet lilting as he flies by defenders off the edge has what appears to be a paralyzing effect on the opponent. The defense must wear earplugs while he's out there and focus on playing sound assignment football. With more film now available on the guy, Kwiatkowski has hopefully done his job and put a gameplan together that accounts for dealing with both QBs and what they bring to the table. At the skill spots, KSU has a strong backfield with two TBs who are above average. Neither provides the kind of problems that the midget now playing for the Cowboys caused, but they're not holding the offense back. At WR, they have some dude named RJ Garcia at WR. I played with a wild ass vato named RJ Garcia in junior high, but there's no way he's just entered the college ranks at WR in 40's, is there? Anyway, their WR corps is a weak spot on offense. They're not going to simply streak by anyone on our defense if you ignore the fact that Michael Taaffe and Kitan Crawford will see meaningful snaps. KState does have a damned good TE in Ben "The Pussy Slayer" Sinnott. The Texas back 7 is going to have to prioritize this guy in route coverage, as he gets as much attention from the QBs as he does from cougars and sorority girls in the stands. "closetojumping, Kansas State is going to go 3 high with their safety look. Steve Sarklostagain simply fades into playcaller's block when opponents do that!" You fucking people and your nicknames. Christ. Look, Oklahoma State provided a simple blueprint for handling the 3 high look from KSU. Line up in trips, force a safety to declare, and then you're playing against a standard two deep. Steve Sarkisian is an offensive genius, right? Then we need that genius to fucking show up and be a genius. Or just be a copycat. It doesn't take a genius. In truth, Texas is a poor match-up for the KSU defense. KSU's defense is small. They lost their solid MLB for the season earlier in the year. They have a tub of goo at NT who weighs a metric ton and brings the energy and get-off of a 7/11 clerk working the graveyard shift. The secondary lacks playmakers and the edge rush severely misses alphabet soup guy from last season. I assume the offense will be able to run the ball effectively early and bully the smaller opponent down the field. This should enable Murphy to settle in and exhibit competence in the passing game and utilize multiple weapons. That should lead to pain and punishment for KSU as the game rolls into the 4th quarter. Hayden Conner needs to show up and act like he gives a shit. If he doesn't, bring in someone who will. It's past time to give someone else a look if this low-effort asscrack isn't going to get it done. Murphy needs to not throw off of his backfoot, like at all. If those two things happen, AD Mitchell mixes in a block or two, and Sarkisian can keep from turning into Corporal Upham during the middle of the game and make playcalls that make sense, the offense should roll. "CTJ, we always lose this kind of game. KSU is well-coached and their very polite, if intellectually bereft, fanbase travels well." Kansas State doesn't travel as well as BYU, I can tell you that. What in the fuck was that last week? Shit. I think they had 10k there, at least. It didn't do them much good, nonetheless. KSU is a bully this season. They'll play like it Saturday. Texas needs to come out and hit them in the mouth early and stay physical. What do I mean by "bully"? Well, everything. 1) They shit themselves on the road, as discussed. 2) They beat up on weak opponents and drive up their stats and scores accordingly. As frightening as "Southeast Missouri State" may sound, they're a weak FCS team. 4 Sacks and 588 yards of offense later and KSU showed them what tough guys they are. UCF is not ready for P5 football and hasn't won in the conference yet. KSU showed up with 4 sacks and over 500 yards in that matchup as well. 4 more sacks against Troy. 500+ yards against a hapless TCU defense that we've mocked all season. 3) Against stronger competition, KSU looks mediocre to average. They had 2 sacks combined in road losses to OSU and Mizzou. They were outgained in both games. They lost the turnover battle in both games. Hell, Troy isn't a "bad" team, with two losses to KSU and JMU, but they are just a Sun Belt team with Sun Belt talent. Troy's defense did a good job against KSU, actually. Unfortunately, Troy's offense is poo and gave KSU a short field all game and it was never really in doubt. That's what KSU does - they feast on weaknesses. They're not going to go good on good versus similar or advantaged talent and win most of those match-ups. Texas needs to win or neutralize the turnover battle and show up with high energy against a decent opponent. If Texas does that, they're ultimately going to overwhelm KSU and the mudhole will be thoroughly pounded. While I know this won't do much to assuage the handwringers, here's hoping some logic and an understanding that this Texas team is a return to prior periods of dominance, will help some of the rest of you people get your shit together. Texas rolls this weekend - 38-13. Hook'em26 points

You're not required to think as rigidly about personnel as the meatheaded moron calling the shots at safety. If there was high functioning leadership on the defensive side of the ball, we'd be seeing other people in the rotation. Jordan, Guilbeau and Barron can all play safety. Roberson and McDonald should be getting looks. If the secondary is net-better with Barron at safety and Guilbeau at NB, then fucking play that combo. Taaffe is a more likeable, slightly more athletic version of Blake Gideon. He's just not athletic enough to be out there against quality competition. Crawford would be a bad safety on a high school team as a 20-something year old man right now. He has no business being on the field. Texas could not do worse than that combo. It's not complicated. Football coaches crave predictability and comfort and they tend to favor players who remind them of themselves. They're often egotistical and below average intelligence. Blake Gideon checks all of those boxes. Kwiatkowski clearly isn't pushing him to solve anything. ] They're just trotting out there whoever Gideon is feeling at that moment and the consequences are measurable on a weekly basis. The only thing I'm hopeful about with safety is that Williams continues to get more and more snaps until he's a fixture back there.11 points

I’m not quite sure how to put a bow on this thing. Watched the parade by myself in the country club bar (queue the Vivaldi) and loved all of it. People tried to talk to me, but shook them off like a reliever who doesn't trust his curve ball. But it’s like watching the end of Lonesome Dove. Or maybe like Star Wars series, if you’re a dork. You needed it to end, but when it does, you don’t know what to do with yourself. Now- we can go win again, and I would not be surprised if we do, but to finally get that monkey off the back is something extraordinary as a lifelong fan. I have a lot of Rangers tshirts that I wear around the house and to the gym. But when I go to games, especially on the road, I wear the same Rangers hat that I bought after I trashed my old one in 2012. It’s the only gear I wear to games and it’s served me well. I’ve worn that hat for games in Detroit, Cleveland, New York, Chicago, Anaheim, lots of places watching the Rangers. My 7yo son and I signed it and noted that it was parade day. I’m not sure if I retire it, or let it ride. I’ll probably let it ride. I just love it for my dad, who brought me from Amarillo to summertime games at the original ballpark in the late 80’s. We didn’t even know who was pitching when we showed up. My old man brought me to the Kenny perfect game just by luck of the calendar. And- he let me drive on the way there from like Wichita Falls to Decatur. Love it for my little dude who watched a lot of games with me this season. Love it for my mother in law who was a Dallas native and passed away in January. And my step-father-in law who grew up on a farm in Arlington and passed away in April. Love it for all of us. We needed this. I’ll use this post to turn the page… ya know, until the off season thread materializes. Go Rangers.10 points

Pete’s a statesman. He gives off New Deal Democrat (minus the racism) vibes. There’s a difference in character and substance. It’s the nature of his job now, but even on the campaign trail he didn’t seem to get in the muck of identity politics. He seemed to rise above culture issues even when he’d wade into those subjects. Most of the members of congress are grifters and cynical politicians. No substance. Very little character. Myopic. It’s a shame he’ll never be president bc black voters don’t like gays. He’d be an amazing one IMO.10 points

For everyone claiming that everyone does it. Well it's been so easy to find video evidence of Michigan doing it, show me some others. It doesn't matter if everyone is doing it, Michigan go caught red fucking handed and it is a clear rules violation and there is a mountain of evidence. If it were true that others were being so brazen, you'd think some Michigan honks would come up some evidence of some dude standing next to OSU's DC and pictures of him holding a sheet with all the other team's signals. Oh, you can't find that evidence? Then shut the fuck up, your coaching staff is dirty and your school should be punished.10 points

Wrapping up my first stint as a solo dad. Wife’s been traveling for work since Monday and her flight lands at 3AM. I don’t know if this is backwards, or what, but I’ve never enjoyed being a dad more than I have the past few days, when it’s just her and I. Instead of the tension of “who’s got this?” that exists when my wife and I are both there, I just have the clarity of being Dad - the one and only. My daughter is 3 months old and just hitting that “finding my voice and giggle” phase. It’s just a joy to watch her navigate that. We got done harvesting this week and I had time to take her over to my grandparents for a minute, as well as meet up with a good friend whose daughter is a month older. Tomorrow, my wife is taking a turn so I can go to the ISU/KU game with my cousin. Im looking to a day free of having to dad, but damn, I’ve never felt more comfortable with what I’m doing than i have the past few days.9 points

Spoke to my buddy awhile the other day about everything offseason. Me - ”Any rumors to Brad Ausmus”? Him - “I hope not. Everything I’ve heard is he’s anti-analytics and isn’t suited to the job. Sounds like we’d continue going in reverse.” “We were shocked last season when he was mentioned as a GM candidate.” Me - “What are your personal top 5 choices then”? Him - “AJ Hinch, Omar Lopez, Mark Kotsay, Rodney Linares, Joe Espada” “any rumors to Showalter, Maddon, Bannister, Ausmus, Washington or Counsell are just fabricated to create noise” Me - “Whatever Bagwell wants Bagwell gets” Him - “The perception of the public that Bagwell is calling the shots is extremely overshot. He’s around and Jim definitely likes him and listens. But in no way is he the shot caller. Baggy is awesome with us downstairs. I enjoy talking with him every time he comes down He does exactly what his title says, advises/gives his opinion. But at the end of the day, Jim and Dana make final shot calls. He gets aired out for Abreu, Montero, and Brantley signings when that was actually all Jim. Jim was outbidding himself on Abreu. Montero’s agent took Jim to cleaners. Brantley deal was negotiated at Jim’s golf course in Florida. Ever since cheating scandal, Jim has wanted to be more hands on so he doesn’t get burned by not knowing things. Which has had pros but definitely cons as well. I compare what he’s doing to Jerry Jones a lot, not in a good way“ “He’s gotta trust his baseball guys though. He wants to win consistently but stuff like outbidding yourself on Abreu and overpaying Montero is gonna hurt these next two off seasons. Because between the two of them there’s roughly $8M annually we could have saved and spent on someone else. That’s Neris money we don’t have or for anyone else we wanna go after”9 points
