Trump’s America
Please, please, please force a prominent Democrat to repeatedly state “I don’t think our military should follow illegal orders” while the general public watches the current administration completely lose their shit at this. Just an incredible own goal opportunity presenting itself.

Mark Kelly is unfortunately a pretty boring candidate by himself. But if empowered as the face of anti-MAGA, he is basically a fucking dream candidate for Dems.

Texas vs. Arkansas - 2:30pm on ABC
I mean you aren’t wrong, but a team with one loss to Florida makes the playoffs. A team with two losses, including Florida, makes the playoffs. A bad loss doesn’t keep you out of the playoffs. A bad loss when you’ve lost a tough OOC game and eliminated the margin for error might. The committee might be about to give every team clear direction to stop the fun OOC games.

Texas vs. Arkansas - 2:30pm on ABC
The bottom line: if we had scheduled, like, Wyoming for the first game - we would be 9-2 heading into the aggy game and an absolute lock to get in with a win - Florida loss and all. I get that there are a lot of moving parts, but if we miss the playoffs then the lesson we will unquestionably learn is that we shouldn’t schedule tough OOC games. I’m not convinced that’s a lesson the committee wants to teach.

"Abraham Toro, but .100 OPS worse" is a hell of a selling point.

Trump’s America
Genuinely the weakest, most easily influenceable man in human history. Do you know how easy it should be for an 80 year old Republican to stay mad at a brown millennial socialist, and this motherfucker can't even do that. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c0qpqkyp948t

Houston Texans 2025 Season Thread
Honestly not sure which part of this sentence to question first: the insinuation that Demeco Ryans was calling our offense or the fact that they “rolled” last night.

This defense is incredible. Even just a mediocre offense would have this team in the upper echelon of super bowl contenders.

Hey so, like, the President just said Democratic congress members should be killed. Not an exaggeration, literally his quote. Even for Trump, this seems like new territory.

ICE activity/raids
Hypothetically, what would happen if a bunch of people started dressing up as ICE agents and just began barking conflicting information at everyone and turning the scene into chaos? ICE has already made it clear that they don't feel a need to identify themselves, so how could anyone know for sure who is impersonating who?

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
I guess I'll attempt to offer a little nuance to the conversation. 10 months ago, I had zero doubts that Sark was THE guy. Our teams looked tough and prepared. Our roster decisions made sense. All of the off-the-field money stuff seemed in order. There's a reason so much of the blame for not winning it all fell on Quinn, and that's because pretty much the rest of the program looked exactly like you would want a championship team to look. Were there areas that weren't perfect? Sure, but there's rarely a "perfect" college football team. Hell, Ohio State fans were ready to push Day out the door last December. But something changed in the offseason. The team this year does NOT look the same, nor does the coach. Either our QB looks like he has never thrown a football before or our WRs act like double amputees or our OL acts like a bunch of matadors or our secondary looks like swiss cheese. Just not a single cohesive performance all season. To be very clear, this is NOT the same look that Sark's other teams have had. Acting like he's the obvious problem that we should have all seen coming is dishonest at best. Something is different this season. If there's a way to get the program back to how it felt 10 months ago, then I'm on board. But if whatever happened is permanent and if this is the new reality, then he's got to go or we are just delaying the inevitable.

2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
Aside from the obvious note that one is nearly 20 years younger than the other, Bobby pretending to not understand the reason why a group of college athletes might relate to Terry Joseph better than Duane Akina is a choice.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Before the season, someone asked me my prediction for the year. Told him that this shit is all unpredictable, but missing the playoffs would be a disappointment. Five SEC teams will be in the playoffs and we, the preseason #1, will not be one of them. Unmitigated disaster.
