  1. Finally a guest with a spark of life and talent. And humor. Last couple of guests have been dull af beyond inert. To the point where less is more. Just have two guests and let Peyton and Eli do what they do. Maybe even bring on Arch for fun or Cooper.
  2. I hope FSU comes out firing in the Orange Bowl and beats Georgia. They have a good HC. And they will be a force next year. And will likely make the playoffs. I say this to say, if I were an FSU fan I’d be fucking pissed though I do understand what the “committee” was doing/or their reasoning. But honestly, it comes down to not having the balls to leave an SEC team out. They’d NEVER EVER DO THAT! I feel badly for them and if that had happened to us (it wouldn’t and didn’t) I’d want us to come out next year on a revenge tour. Just curb stomp the shit out of everyone on our schedule. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
  3. Tua is a cool dude. Like him a lot.
  4. Browning looks pretty decent. Lol Tua!
  5. Hell of a play by Bengals defender.
  6. Lmao. I’d go with Eli though neither was a great scrambler.
  7. Yep. Peyton and Eli talking up the Sugar Bowl. That’s cool!
  8. This one might be over quick. Lots of teams feeling dumb I bet they didn’t get in on the Gardner Minshew thing.
  9. Eli and Peyton come out firing on all cylinders tonite. It looks like Peyton and Eli have on the same 3 quarter zip. They are not identical. Eli: nice sweater Peyton: Mine’s more expensive Eli: hey dad got these for us. Peyton: Exactly. Mine fits better too. Eli: surprised you got it over your big head. Peyton: hey, dad said we needed to be nicer to each other during the Holidays.
  10. I ride bicycles in my spare time sure.

    2023 Heisman

    It’s been a meaningless award to me after VY. I mean it would be great if one of our players were able to win one but too many of their members just don’t like Texas and won’t vote for us. Even when obvious.
  12. Hope Gundy can find a way to beat them. The Pirate always had their number…
  13. Sark most certainly deserves to be in the $7-9 million a year range per year right now. I’d imagine the incentives are awesome for winning big 12, making the CFP, possibly a championship win…he’s hitting his benchmarks. Elko makes $7 million plus some hefty incentives. This rematch v Washington will make the aggy tears flow. They are watching the HC they took a swing at in DeBoer (who stiff armed them) and Sark in his 3rd year who has already won a “natty” in the SEC with Bama. Free flowing tears. 😭 Jimbo really screwed them. They made it really easy for him to do so. We are too wary of that eventuality to ever wind up in their situation. Sark is too good of a guy to just take our money and screw around like Jimbo did. We just won’t allow that. For as bad as our BMDs meddle…one thing they won’t tolerate is someone screwing around like Jimbo did with their money.
  14. Next stop Sugar Bowl! With hopefully a trip to NRG in Houston on the horizon:
  15. Things are shaping up for the post season. I think KC might be in trouble honestly. GB has done a 180 from how they started. Interesting teams in the playoff mix this year. Not just the same old ones. I kinda dig it.
  16. It was just a valentine. He was trying to hug him. From behind. Packers like that.
  17. With the most awesome fucking weekend we Longhorns have had in a long damn time…maybe we could have a little OT in this game? Why the fuck not? Uh he sort of mugged him!?
  18. When I went to the Alamo Bowl last year I thought two things: DeBoer was doing a great job and I bet they will be good in the Pac12 in 2023. Crazy to think that these two teams would get a rematch on an even bigger stage. We are very evenly matched. Experience favors Penix but he still makes wtf throws. They win ugly like us. They seem different for several minutes after halftime like us. They have many weapons like we do but ours are better collectively. This should be a very close game. One I believe we can win if we keep pushing and don’t let off the gas for stretches in the 3rd quarter. That was Sark’s pregame outfit. The other picture was from our seats. They were great! Thrilled to play in at least one bowl game out of state man. lol.
  19. It’s even worse because at least Al would talk too. Tirico just lets Collingweed drone on and on. Having said that I think many people missed him (well not miss or appreciate—but notated he was better than) when Jason Garrett subbed for him a week or so back. what they need to do is get CC high. Like hand him a j right before production and tell him to smoke up. See what happens. I bet it would amazeballs.
  20. So I eat crow. I also want to apologize to anyone I have offended by being frustrated and snarky on this thread in particular. Like many of you football is my escape. That and this forum. I lost my cousin to suicide last March. I lost my uncle to a heart attack (totally unexpected) who was like a surrogate father to me on May 7, 2023. His wife, my mom’s sister, was diagnosed with early onset dementia in her early 60’s, four years ago, and she passed away horribly in an Alzheimer’s home on September 28, 2023. I was with her when she passed away and took her last breath. UT football mostly stunk throughout my childhood but my dad a UT grad was a super fan. He died in 2005 during the MNC season right before OU weekend. a lot of you bleed orange like I do. With the losses I have had the past year and 9 months though I have been harder on Sark and the team than I should have. I’ve been beyond frustrated with the past 13 plus years of UT football. Even before those few great years of VY and Colt which I cherish. I want Sark to succeed. It’s great for him and us. It’s great for the players. I’ve been around long enough though to realize that criticism is sometimes warranted and it doesn’t mean we want the person fired. Sometimes we are wrong. I am often wrong. But when you’ve experienced the past two years I have you learn to NOT get your hopes up always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Hookem! Proud of the team and Sark and coaches! What a hell of a year! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
  21. I’m happy to eat crow. When we win the MNC. Happy as hell to have a final Big 12 trophy and I admit didn’t think we’d get there. But we did. I like Sark and I have a very healthy respect for him as a man and a coach. There is a very short list of people who can HC and be an OC and win championships. That’s not a criticism it’s a fact. I hope he defies the odds. It’s not just because I’m a Longhorn. It would be special for him to do it. Being sober since 4/24/22 I also appreciate his sobriety and how hard it can be and he’s also under tremendous pressure as the HC of the Longhorns. I admire this about him. I hope he can do both. And early in the season there were legit questions as to whether or not he can. I will be happy to be wrong. I’ve also learned in many many years of watching Longhorn football never to count my chickens before they hatch. Let’s just be happy with where we are today and remember how hard it was to get to this spot. Celebrate we are here. Because it feels great! It’s been a long damn time and I think the team and coaches and most of all Sark for taking us on this wild ride this season. So thanks! It was sorely needed. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
  22. Typing without my glasses on…no excuses. But was in a rush on my phone.
  23. Committee would never leave out an SEC team. Been in it all ten years. Heartbreaking for FSU. The statement from Travis man…perfectly written. Just so poignant. Glad we did our part yesterday and crushed Okie Lite and are on an upward trajectory. We made history! Jumping from 7 to 3 and clinched our final Big 12 trophy. Hook’em! I’d have picked FSU to advance, whether it was an inevitable beatdown for them or not. ESPN owns SEC rights now and there has always been an SEC bias. I like to think of us as being in the SEC but on our own island. And no, I will NOT be chanting SEC ever. We are in their conference and I will root as @BevoAbyss posted for Texas only.
  24. A month to get healthy. A month to plan for Sark. An opponent he knows and respects. I respect Kalen DeBoer. Good guy and HC. We are pretty evenly matched. They win close games ugly as well. I expect a close one. Hook’em! I am so damned happy!!!
