  1. Yes, you’re too close to the sun on this one. People on this board think about the things you listed; everybody else thinks “oh yeah, Mack Brown, that awesome Rose Bowl game. Texas won a lot in the ‘00s.” That’s as much detail as most remember. (And it’s not weird that he’s in the HoF - national title + a consistent top-10 team for a decade at a blue blood generally gets you there.)
  2. No we wouldn’t, because nobody outside of a segment of Texas fans thinks about Mack Brown in those terms. Most would simply associate him with 2005 and being in the college football HOF based on his tenure at Texas. I’m not advocating for the celebration of Mack - I’m as ambivalent about him as most on here - but you’re overestimating how much thought the rest of the world outside of an enthusiastic (surly?) cadre of Texas fans has given to Mack’s accomplishments and exit from Texas.
  3. If these dipshits really thought that they ever lived in a world in which the University of fucking Texas couldn’t join any conference it damn well pleased, then that’s 100% on them. They act like it’s a kids’ best friends club. Grow the fuck up, yokels.
  4. lol, they can and they will. It won’t make any sense whatsoever, to your point, but when has that ever stopped them?
  5. I mean, if I were this certain that a sport is actually rigged, I would have zero interest in following it, because what would be the point? So either they don't actually believe that, or they knowingly emotionally invest in something akin to pro wrestling.
  6. Beamer’s antics were a little too reminiscent of this…and if you’re acting like Tom you’re doing it wrong.
  7. Only?!?! That’s four times as many as Texas A&M has.
  8. I’ve read this three times and I still don’t understand the question or the response.
  9. I love how this dude says “just do what Georgia did,” then briefly acknowledges that they don’t have anything like the DL talent Georgia has, but says “the point remains.” I’m not sure the point actually remains, is the thing.
  10. Blue run last night immediately reminded me of the 80+ yard JC run against Nebraska in ‘07. But I was at this ^^ game - his freshman year - and holy shit his speed/acceleration was incredible.
  11. I live in abq and their logos and unis drive me crazy. First, they have 2 lobo logos that they actively use and both look like MS clip art. Second, as you say, they have a lot to work with. Just put a fucking Zia on the helmet. It looks great, it screams New Mexico, etc. They’ve done it occasionally: I mean, that is great…why on earth is that not their default helmet? Also, they have occasionally mixed in turquoise jerseys. I know FSU did that this year but it makes more sense for UNM. They should 100% bring back these from the ‘70s: They should cut the shit with these corny clip-art lobos, wear the above helmet every week, and go crazy with combos of silver, white, red pants and red, white, turquoise shirts. It just seems so obvious.
  12. Because of his outsized sense of self importance. He thinks he gets the responses he does because he’s edgy and he “pushes the envelope” and “challenges people’s beliefs” when in reality it’s simply because he annoyingly thinks the world needs to know about his belief system (which is unoriginal and boring in addition to its asininity) all the time. Nobody said or intimated or suggested anything about vaccines, a topic of complete irrelevance, until he did. It had nothing to do with anything. We all know people like this, and we all dislike them.
  13. Fucking this. The conspiracy theorist / alternative medicine / wholistic healing / absurd nutrition fad / insufferable personality archetype is pretty fucking cliche. It is embarrassing watching people who think that they’re interesting or super smart because they are “in on things that the rest of the world can’t see” do their schtick in real time.
  14. Being “intellectually honest” means that 2012 A&M should be credited with making the playoffs - even though there weren’t playoffs? He’s basically saying “we had a good season once!”
  15. Hmmm… reconcile that with this: well, at least Goose77 seems kinda pragmatic:
  16. Oh Christ are we doing this again? I was done bitching about Mack after 2014-2020 happened. He was far from perfect but we were a fixture in the top 10 for a decade and won the title in the best game ever played. He wasn’t inexplicably losing to Maryland and Cal and Iowa St and Kansas regularly.
