  1. I'm mad for Taaffe, Burke, and the other seniors. And for Arch. Would have been incredible experience going into next season.
  2. I thought accident was most likely until I saw how hard it would be to "accidentally" fall over the railings. The only way it could be an accident is if they were doing something incredibly dumb like trying to take a selfie while dangling their centers of gravity over the edge.
  3. I'm surprised to see Indiana (+425) has better odds to win the natty than Georgia (+800). Texas meanwhile has worse odds (+60000) than UNT (+50000).
  4. I know that sort of thing happens. Sorry for your loss. Nobody in this story has resorted to child sex trafficking, cartel conspiracy theories just yet. I don't think a drunk scuffle is totally out of the question, if there was some actual beef simmering among this friend group.
  5. And we should be ahead of ND because common opponents (Arky, aggy) we have 2-0 vs their 1-1.
  6. If Bama looks like shit they should drop out. Miami would get in over us. ND could beat OU.
  7. Booger McFarland knows less about football than Seth McFarlane
  8. They had some bullshit remark about how they were "correctly" ranked 13. That's all that was said. Definitely need them to pay the toll.
  9. They already beat ND didn't they?
  10. I can't believe Booger is employed.
  11. That's because of common opponent.
  12. Either way, that's a possible motive. They need a deeper investigation
  13. talking heads have all been mostly pro-Texas, and talking heads move a lot of dumb money. The line is simply reflecting that feedback loop
  14. Not sure if this is legit but stumbled across this on Reddit. Is that really "impossible" to trip and fall over the railing? In this photo it looks to be about to their mid-rib area. The balcony here looks from the inside like what the balcony looks like from the outside based on Google Street view. The lack of UT or downtown in the background suggests the balcony is facing the west. The victim probably was not very tall, so an accident is harder to believe based on this.
  15. That would be really sad, if it happened that way. I've always hated how much people misunderstand the way suicides work. The narratives about the victim having a lot of friends or a lot to live for or immediate plans to look forward to, all of that implies that the only people who commit suicide are loners and losers. That's pretty insulting, frankly, and it doesn't help anyone. This story is blowing up everywhere, so now that APD's under the microscope I think we will see a more thorough investigation.
  16. Judge a team by its F P I not its F U P A
  17. Lots of apartments are that way, but some have balconies for the bedrooms. If we assume it's a living room setup, though, that doesn't necessarily mean people in the living room had a good vantage point from which to see what was happening out on the balcony and if there was a party happening it's less likely people were paying attention to their surroundings enough to keep tabs on the balcony even if it was visible from their vantage points.
  18. He knows that. What this tells me is that ESPN really wants the committee to know how pissed they're gonna be if Texas is left out without a very good justification. There are some scenarios where they will grudgingly accept it, but they will be apoplectic if Tulane, JMU, and ND are all in
  19. Sark needs to get out there and say if Texas is excluded from CFP then any team who wins it all, other than Ohio State or Georgia, should have an asterisk
  20. How does an aggie end up at an apartment party with 15 people, in the vicinity of a flagship university that she doesn't attend? The most logical explanations are that one of her aggie friends is friends with the UT students who live there, or that the victim herself was friends with the UT students who live there. That doesn't seem like a very plausible suicide venue if it's something she would have planned out, so if APD wants to say it was a suicide then that also means the idea to jump probably wouldn't have occurred to her until she was already at this party. I suppose stranger things have happened, but I definitely understand why her loved ones aren't buying it. Malevolent murder, on the other hand, usually means someone with a clear motive. Anger, jealousy, that sort of thing. High school kids, possibly drunk at a party, maybe emotions got high. I don't find it that weird, actually. Haven't been to any of the new construction monstrosities in West Campus but could the balcony really be that big than all 15 other people were on it when it happened? Most likely is there were people congregated in the living and dining areas, a few in bedrooms, one or two in bathrooms, and maybe a few on the balcony having a smoke or just enjoying the view. Which means that most of them could say they saw her go out on the balcony but not necessarily that they were paying attention when anything untoward happened. I would surmise that of those 15 only a handful (2-4) were close enough to see what was going on in the balcony area. The people who actually were on the balcony are gonna be puckered-anuses because they know they should be suspects. Accident is the explanation that requires the least conjecture. Still incredibly tragic. All I want is for everything else to be ruled out. The family deserves that much.
  21. He needs to get in the habit of doing this during games, because his defense is being flagrantly held on practically every other snap
  22. In fairness, Austin is the wine stain capital of the world https://www.fox7austin.com/news/justin-haden-gavin-roberts-murder-suspect-austin-texas
