  1. All of you are sitting around moping about like someone just shot your dog. Frankly - I'm fucking tired of it. This is Texas football. Back to back CFP appearances. Back to back national semifinals. B12 champs 2023. SEC title game 2024. Back to back 12 win seasons (13 last year). Thorpe award 2024. Outland trophy 2024. 25 NFL draft picks the last two seasons. Get y'all's fucking shit together and quit being a bunch of bitches. If I have to see one more motherfucker post about 2010 Texas or Garrett Gilbert I'm throwing a damn brick through someone's window. I am so, deeply sorry that Arch Manning isn't instantly 2019 Joe Burrow. Why don't all of you relax and watch a couple more games before claiming that this team is going 7-5. These dogs get another warmup and then they all go get to prove themselves. We are going to fuck Florida's shit up. We are going to fuck OU's shit up. Have some fucking faith in what your head coach has shown you and what he has already delivered for this program. The QB is green. They will figure it out. Together. Give them time. Have some God damn faith for once in your life. THIS IS TEXAS FOOTBALL, GOD DAMMIT. Let's fucking ride. 🤘

  2. Today I was hoping that I would have a great day and didn't have anything to worry about. I was gonna work from home, drop my kid off at school, wrap up my meetings by 4 and head to Sams to pick up the meat for tailgate. I didn't get any pictures...but the total weight of it was 181lbs. 4 Briskets avg 13lb, 5 pork butts avg 10.5lb, 12 racks avg 4lb, whole chicken wings - 36lbs. Thanks to @DalTxHornFan who had a connect that would do it for $1/lb smoked on Saturday ready by 3PM. I said fuck yeah you got yourself a deal. Taking all the meat there and I'm on mopac headed up to far west where this place is. Tire makes noise like it blew up, I check tire pressure everything is fine (I've been putting off tires and this one has had a small leak for a month). GOD DAMNIT I have all this MEAT in my car! So then I'm like fuck it I'm getting off on windsor and checking. I get under the car in the neighborhood and am looking and can't see anything. I get way under after lifting the suspension (air ride on the e63s)- there I saw a big strip of my inner tire just flopping down on the ground from about halfway up. Well I didn't have any scissors and it wasn't hitting anything except the wheel well a little bit I decided to limp it to the BBQ spot. 30 mph top speed up balcones all the way to far west. Get there and have all this meat. He looks at me all funny and is like that's a lot of meat, and I was like yeah do you have any box cutters or something like that I have a strip of tire I need to cut off and literally am laughing out loud at the absurdity of my life. I'm going to be late for Burnt Ends planning dinner at Fogo de chao 6PM reservation. I go outside while we wrestles this 180+ lbs of meat into the store, I cut off the strip of tire and go back inside. We confirmed the weights I ordered some beans and potato salad and they were happy to send me on my way. He may drop by tomorrow he likes to get hammered in a suite. very nice guys - he laughed in my face when I asked if they use post oak and just salt and pepper. I'm now testing my tire for limp or highway duty. We have unlocked highway - air pressure steady, run flats, GPS says I'll get there right at 6 sharp on mopac. We send it, it's a smooth enough ride, get downtown get parked am inside by 6:03, Spencer Shannon is there to greet me. We say whats up, I tell him a story about how my back is fucked up cuz I was throwing my kids in the pool yesterday as I'm slamming water from the bar. We shoot the shit for like 5 minutes and the rest of the guys show up together. We all walk to our table and I sit in the middle, Jack Endries was like tell me about what Burnt Ends is - so I go into it all and tell them we are there to have fun and really feel out what they wanna do this season. Emaree Winston and Jordan Washington immediately cutting up all over the place, Nick Townsend I don't think has ever done a churrascaria in his life, and the other guys were all so confused. Will Randle shows up late. We start the meat consumption process after a brief salad bar hit where the chicken salad was the clear winner. We talk about what they wanna do for this year and they seem fairly committed to doing a rap music video. They also wanna throw a sick party during a bye week and watch with fans. Then they wanna promote the tailgate and make the whole thing a merch line etc. They see the potential of the program and wanna push it. I teased Jordan Washington about not tackling the guy after the INT as something he was getting yelled at by the coach for. He laughed at me and said that guy that intercepted it was really fast. hahaha He got me back later in dinner when the lady came around for dessert he told her it was my birthday. I told them they can't just pick on me because I'm old and he persisted. They brought out my delicious birthday tres leches cake with a candle in it. They all sang me happy birthday really loud in a not loud or busy fogo de chao. I blow out the candle and Jordan Washington stops recording, I said oh man you aren't gonna record my wish? He goes well what is your wish? I said "I wish arch manning didn't have the yips" they all died laughing. We talked about a bunch of random stuff, they talked about wanting the rowing team to be their rap video girls and scheming where we are gonna film and what the bars are gonna be. They are wanting to have fun with the program and really make it a lot more of their personality. Emaree asked me if I liked doing this stuff and I gave him a sort of long winded answer that was about I've got a lot on my plate, but I'm really glad to be able to do it. We promptly changed the discussion to the new iphone 17 Pro Max orange and that he was gonna trade in his iphone 16 tomorrow before reporting to the hotel in the evening. then I took his ice cream away because he is 'over weight' every day, everyone laughed and he asked for his ice cream back in a mock pleading type of way and I gave it back. They are all excited to promote the tailgate and I'll give updates as soon as I have them. Hook 'Em Rick

  7. Flawed judgements on your character? Lol. I'm an old black guy that spent his whole professional life in work environments with little to no diversity. I'm an expert. I've experienced just about every kind of racism there is. I know exactly what kind of racist you are. You watched Boyz in the Hood once and Fox News and think you have Black People all sorted. You're the guy that tells a Black person they are so well spoken and walks off thinking it was a compliment. You're the guy that owns a tree trimming company, sees my and my father in law(white guy) in the driveway, and goes up to him and starts trying sell him on a job. You're the kind of guy who asks me what college I attended and when I say The University of Texas, there is a slight pause before the conversation resumes. You're the type pf guy who when he sees a Black dude pulled over with a cop car behind he you wonder what he did. You're the type of guy who goes to a job interview, and when the Black dude comes out to greet you, you are looking over his shoulder to see when the boss is coming. That's the kind of person you are, and that's why you cannot see what Kirk said is wrong.

  10. No. He taught them to be raging bigots, and that it's okay to say vile, racist shit to people. Proof? My daughter is now in another state because she could not take the racism at her school. We've already been in the news once recently for bullying a middle school kid through racist texts. So she is left to finish her senior year elsewhere. Her hispanic friend told us kids at school thought it was funny to tell her they were going to call ICE on her even though her family has been here for generations and her dad is an MIT grad. These are your church going conservative kids that Kirk is grooming.

  12. After the election, I kept asking myself "is this who we are as a country?" It's easy enough to convince yourself that people were brainwashed or the Democrats fucked up the election or shit was just too expensive... but the last week has proven to me that the simple answer to that question is "yes, this is who we are." We are a country that values the life of a conservative podcaster more than the lives of Democratic lawmakers or children in schools. We are a country that happily lives in two different realities curated by the algorithms in our pocket. We are a country where the media is more focused on access than truth-telling. We are a country that is more concerned with our differences than our similarities. I naively thought that the Democrats just had a messaging problem and that the majority of the country would agree with their ideas if they were just communicated better. I thought that many of the Republican voters just did so out of habit or comfort and weren't truly aware of what their party stood for. That's all bullshit. The liberal viewpoint is the clear minority in this country. The Democrats have lost. When the goals of social media align so clearly with one party over the other (outrage!!!), there's nothing that can be done. We have to accept the new reality, complaining about it now is like going to College Station and complaining that everyone is wearing maroon. @Brisketexan - I'm climbing off the ledge. Not because anything has gotten better, but because there's nowhere for us to even jump. Might as well figure out how to live like this. First step is deleting all forms of social media from my phone. Real life is much more pleasant than life through a screen. I only find disappointment in learning who people are behind their keyboard.

  13. Our right wing posters have largely justified away any bad acts of their party and affiliates and have flipped flopped on so many issues over the years it is difficult to summarize in a single post. The ones that repeated the lies about left wing extremists were always projecting and hoping they could make even the thinnest of evidence stick. It was reflected again in the shooting of CK, when so many right wingers and leaders within the community called for violence and war, meanwhile the left’s leadership acted like adults and condemned the violence. The president and his lackeys have called for jailing and harassing people who believe differently. You might not have started out as an authoritarian sympathist who believed in this country, but when you looked around and saw your party was taken over by white nationalists and criminals you stood by them. We got rid of Al Franken for a picture where he pretended to touch the boobs. You elected a guy who is a known felon and pedophile. We are not the same. We do not have the same values. We remove our own for being corrupt. We don’t incite violence. We don’t spread lies and misinformation/dysinformation at the same rates. And we have hope for our future through education and inclusion, not exclusionary and repressive tactics.

  14. Selected this post, but there are so many others....I'm actually glad Enchubben is sharing his unvarnished thoughts, because it's a good glimpse into the mind of someone who is simultaneously clueless, and thinks they're a good person....who is also a vile racist. He described a made-up "DEI" boogeyman that doesn't exist. It's a straw man for the right to construct and then demonize, which gives them justification for their continued suspicion and resentment of all people who aren't white males (note that white males are literally the ONLY class that doesn't get the "I just can't trust that they weren't a 'DEI hire'" treatment). This is how deeply permeated the racism is. And how he just blows by straight-forward, unambiguous statements like him saying that black women just don't have the brain power. Or, in choosing to criticize the Cowboys, going to the race of their fanbase. What possible relevance could that have to anything or anyone? There are 100,000 reasons to hate the Cowboys and their fans (I can list them, as I share in most of them). But mentioning the race/ethnicity of their fans WOULDN'T EVEN FUCKING OCCUR TO ME, BECAUSE I'M NOT A FUCKING WHITE SUPREMACIST. It's the casualness, and ubiquity, of white supremacist ideology that's being revealed in this discussion. They don't argue that Charlie Kirk didn't say or think those things. They just move the goalposts, and say "racist things really aren't racist." It's not "racist" to think that black women are inferior...it's just true. It's not racist to say that foreigners should be whipped -- that's just a good idea. It's not racist to say that the phrenology of the skulls of negroes correlates to lower IQs, that's just science (see the road we're on? Everything old will become new again). Enchubben doesn't wear a robe and white hood. Enchubben surely thinks of himself as a good person, who doesn't mean any harm to anyone. Enchubben also holds deep-seated beliefs and opinions about how minorities are actually inferior, and likely get any role or achievement through "cheating" (that's what they think "DEI" is), and how minorities are just generally lower class (I mean, look at those little mexican Cowboys fans), etc. etc. etc. That doesn't make him racist, he's just calling it like it is. Guys in klan robes aren't the danger to America and humanity. Guys like Enchubben are. Because the guys in the klan robes are few, and so over-the-top that they are easy to combat. Guys like Enchubben are your neighbor. Your neighbor who, when seeing my last name on the pleadings of a court case, thinks "DEI hire," and that I am probably an inferior intellect. Maybe he's the judge in my case, and he automatically knocks my credibility down a peg because surely, I got where I got by taking a more qualified white man's position. If Enchubben is a banker, he thinks I am something more of a lending risk because again, while my job title LOOKS nice, I probably really don't deserve it, and I won't last long out there in the real world, where skill and talent make a difference. I'm glad that the Enchubbens of the world are so clueless about their racism and contempt for everyone who is not a white male that they state it openly and plainly. Being able to see the force bent on destroying our society right out there in the open is a helpful advantage for the rest of us. Now . . . to figure out what to do with it. Because the Enchubbens have ALSO made it plain that putting objective truth that runs contrary to their worldview right in front of them . . . does nothing. I keep coming back to "they're going to have to see what a shitshow their 'dream society' turns into when they have their way, and all non-white males are put back under the boot where they belong."

  15. My wife had to preach today. It was really fucking hard, she wrestled with her sermon from the beginning, and come Wednesday, it got even harder. Let’s just say she didn’t go the same direction as your priest. She also didn’t go anywhere near “it’s good that he’s dead.” She spoke to bodily autonomy. And how your life, and physical body and existence are a gift from god. And who are we - or anyone - to take away that autonomy, up to and including by ending a life? But don’t think it’s limited to that. Limiting bodily autonomy is a particular problem in these times. Quite a few people thanked her after, and there were some pretty strong emotions. Anyway, preparing and giving that sermon was one of the hardest things she’s ever done, and she left it all on the field. I’m in awe of her, and her ability and courage to listen to the spirit when called, even and especially when it’s hard.

  17. 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.

By January 2021, if you still were going along with Trump's obvious election lies, you were either an incredibly stupid nutjob who truly thought the country was being stolen or a political opportunist who didn't care what riling up a bunch of your nutjob followers could lead to. This week's whitewashing has been insane.

  20. I feel like I should be wearing tin foil, but this latest incident in which ABC capitulated to Nextstar's threats regarding Jimmy Kimmel's comments about Charlie Kirk's death seems too much. I think Americans need to step up and say enough is enough. You don't want to lose Nextstar? OK, you lose us. We're not watching ABC. I have no idea how such a boycott could be implemented but it is beyond time for Americans to push back on these corporate bully tactics at the highest level. They are only concerned with the bottom line, and have no regard for what used to be at least some level of journalistic integrity. Fight fire with fire -- I don't know what the numbers would have to be, but (in this case) if viewership were to plummet by some level similar to Nextstar's subscriber base, well that would say something. I just don't know how it might happen. But, we put a fucking man on the moon. I don't know, thoughts? And please, stifle the "it's over" bullshit. To quote General McAuliffe . . . "nuts".

They're no longer seeing what their base will allow them to do, and instead they're seeing what they can get MAGA to support. They're not exercising power over the libs, they're exercising power over MAGA. They're fucking with them more than anything. They're learning just how sheepish the sheep can be. Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz... there will be books written about their cowardice. I'll never again wonder how Hitler did it.

  26. Dude. Shooting someone is wrong. Period, full stop. But stop whitewashing him. Most important thing was “family?” How “pro-family” is it to tell every black pilot (or any trained professional) that you question their qualifications BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK? How “pro-family” is it to put a professor on what YOU CALL a “hit list,” and then when your followers understandably issue death threats to her, you’re silent (and thus functionally supportive)? How “pro-family” is it to say “Of course you should be able to use whips against foreigners that are coming into your country. Why is that controversial?” Do “foreigners” not have families? Fuck whitewashing him. Two things can be true: he was a hateful scourge on humanity, and NOBODY has the right to choose to take his life.

  27. Just a quick reminder for conservatives popping in to chide people for expressing the same opinions about Charlie Kirk that they had a week ago - none of us think that Charlie Kirk should have been murdered, and you voted a child rapist into the White House twice. We're not the same.

  28. Watched some film of the line again from this game. Pass pro wasn't bad overall. Have some breakdowns in the running game with some video to show exactly what's breaking down. I'll start off with some good stuff from the first drive of the game. First snap of the game. Good ol' gap scheme GY Counter. Endries is the TE (Y) that will pull along with Stroh (G). One of the best blocked runs of the game right off the bat. Stroh pulls and stones his man, Endries pulls and does the same, and pay attention to Campbell. Gets to the 2nd level and drives the backer like he should. 8 yds for Baxter. Screen_Recording_20250917_194457_YouTube.mp4 Next run looks like power left. Campbell pulls this time and gets one of his best blocks of the game. TE is blocking down with Goosby and they clear the hole. This failure is not on the line, it's on Clark. Play looks blocked to go B gap behind the pulling guard and inside the TE if the guard has inside leverage and the TE is blocking down, which they are. Stroh is slow to get to the 2nd level which means the backer probably gets Clark, but should be a 6 or 7 yd gain if he runs the correct gap. Inexperienced running back mistake. Screen_Recording_20250917_194934_YouTube.mp4 Next play is similar except they motion the TE play side to lead then pull the RG Campbell to get the numbers advantage. Again, blocked well for the 3rd straight gap run to start the game. Again the failure is on Clark for not running where the play is blocked. He's supposed fo follow Campbell into the hole but for some reason cuts it A gap right into the defense. Watch the path had he run it correctly right off Campbell's hip. Big gain potential putting him 1 on 1 with a DB. Screen_Recording_20250917_201724_YouTube.mp4 Next play. Looks like inside zone where the linemen make a zone wall across the front and the TE comes back across the formation to eliminate the weak side rusher. Again, this is blocked well and again Clark reads it wrong. The play is blocked to go up inside on the A gap and he bounces it out to the C gap. Had he followed the blocking it's likely a first down. Clark doesn't have adequate running back vision yet. I think this drive encapsulates why we saw a lot more Gibson then Simon in the 2nd half. Screen_Recording_20250917_202511_YouTube.mp4 For shits and giggles let's look at the next play, the 4th down failure where we see the crux of Arch's problems right now. The play design is solid and a good call against coverage. Wingo at the top is the primary read who gets a good release off the line and runs the in breaking route. The TE runs the stop route in front to suck in the coverage and give Arch the winner. It's a timing route and Arch needs to read it and release the ball on Wingo's break. We see him read it but hesitate. He then steps up in the pocket and is so late the window closes and a DB gets in the lane. He tries to rush it and side arm one to Wingo and burns it in the grass. He has to get that timing back before this offense can start winning. Screen_Recording_20250917_203341_YouTube.mp4 If Sark had stuck to this style I think they could have eventually gotten on track. The gap runs and the one inside zone were mostly well blocked. Should have been much bigger gains. Unfortunately, Sark couldn't help himself and reverted back to his binky... outside zone. I'll pull up some examples from a drive in the 3rd quarter where shit falls apart.

  30. Your initial point is bullshit, because Charlie Kirk literally named every powerful black woman he could think of and said they only got where they were because of affirmative action and they lacked the brain power to otherwise be taken seriously. Imagine a white college dropout calling a black woman with a Harvard law degree stupid, then other white people trying to defend him from being called a racist. You're out of your fucking minds.

  34. And this actually ties back to a subject that was covered earlier: this idea that Charlie Kirk was all for open debate/discussion. Yeah, no. Sorry. I’m here to call absolute bullshit on that one. The entire premise of his debate format was exactly in the title: “prove me wrong.” That in itself is logically fallacious. That’s shifting the burden of proof. When I first saw him doing that shit, my first reaction was exactly what it is today: “no, motherfucker. That’s not how it works. You have to prove that you’re right and then you get to ask if we can disprove you.” ”Prove me wrong” wasn’t just some label that he used either. Just watch that video and many others like it and you’ll notice the same problem: Charlie Kirk never met that challenge. All he ever did was bloviate his stupid and ignorant opinions to college kids. There’s no need to “prove him wrong,” there. He failed to live up to the burden of proof to demonstrate his positions as factual/accurate/true. Every. Single. Time. For example, when he says “prowling blacks go around for fun targeting white people. That’s a fact!” How was it a fact? Had he presented credible evidence to establish such a fact? Or was he just blowing more of his horseshit out there and packaging it as “fact,” as so many right wingers just love to do? Well it’s hard to assume the former because I actually did watch a few formats of this “engage the college kids” nonsense and he never did that. It was just drive-by internet troll horseshit. In doing these ridiculous presentations and editing out the few actual strong rebuttals he would encounter along the way, through the miracle of social media, he was able to convince millions of rubes that he was smart. He was able to convince people that he had powerful points. He was able to convince people that because college kids couldn’t prove a negative, his general political persuasion was the right one. It was intellectual fakery to the absolute max. So no, I will not concede the point that this piece of shit was a champion of open discourse. He infected open discourse with the intellectual equivalent of AIDS, cancer and Alzheimer’s all rolled into one.

  35. Maximillian Kolbe was a Polish priest who was sent to Auschwitz for hiding Jews in his monastery. Although he had German ancestry he refused to sign the document claiming it and thereby receiving rights of a German citizen when arrested. Once he got there, he volunteered to be killed in place of of a man who had a family, as part of a collective punishment for a prisoner escape. He led ten other prisoners in prayer in an underground starvation bunker until guards lost patience and gave them lethal injections. So yeah, lots of parallels to debating college kids American campuses and being a MAGA operative. Side note, Kolbe deserves much better than the “Christian movie” treatment.
