  1. RIP to one of the greats. The below episode from All in the Family is what I think of when I remember Rob Reiner. His movies were incredible also whether he wrote them, directed them or even acted in them.
  2. 8 Track: Kiss-Destroyer Cassette: Aerosmith- Toys in the Attic Record: Styx- Paradise Theater (as a kid I thought the laser etching on the record itself was bad ass) CD: Steely Dan- A Decade of Steely Dan Forgot to add download. Don't remember but probably the thousand songs I donwloaded from Napster.
  3. Guessing the same thing Abdul Carter was. No time for doing their actual jobs.
  4. Isn't this why Ohio State develops WR's so well allegedly? Jermiah Smith, Egbuka, Harrison (he was lower ranked but definitely had the genes from his dad), now Henry are the can't miss 1-2 prospects and they bring them in. I am pretty sure Texas, or any school would have turned the same group of WR's into superstars since they already were superstars coming out of HS.
  5. Top 16 teams make the playoffs. Top 8 get a home field game and then next rounds go to bowl games. No auto bids. Of the SEC has 10 of the top 16 so be it. Ranking the top 16 should be based on the AP/coaches poll plus a computer that takes into account strength of schedule (BCS style). Basically the BCS but with 16 teams would be better than what we have now. No committees, especially ones that have members who are currently working for teams or conferences that are part of the process.
  6. I know its a big what if but, what is everyone's guess if Texas played either of these schedules this year? I see 11-1 with the ND schedule (figure Miami or USC trips us up) and 12-0 or 11-1 with the BYU schedule (maybe Tech beats us at Tech). How can you compare any teams in college football with such different schedules and conferences if you just look at wins and losses.
  7. Should have had Abbott, Cruz, etc... make a deal with Trump to threaten UT's inclusion in the playoffs or the government takes over the whole deal including the profits. Just kidding, kind of and no CR.
  8. I think McElory commented quickly about Texas how they barely beat some bad teams like KY and MSU. Good thing GA didn't barely beat Florida or Alabama barely beat Auburn, OU barely beat LSU or Aggie barely beat South Carolina. I guarantee if you give the shit SEC teams like Florida, Auburn, LSU, South Carolina and even Arkansas a ACC or Big 12 schedule they are all like 8-4 at a minimum.
  9. I get we should cancel Notre Dame and I would cancel the Ohio State and Michigan games also but now is where we need the SEC that we are part of to also make sure all the SEC teams cancel every OOC game that is high profile on their schedules. That would send the real message.
  10. Not saying you aren't correct but it's a crock of shit. Maybe the NFL should make sure there are teams always represented from certain states in the playoffs to not upsett congress.
  11. Bowl games don't matter, and half of each team probably won't play. The ones that do play will be half assing it since it's more of an exhibition than it even used to be.
  12. So we can watch Miami-BYU in the play in game. No thanks.
  13. How bout we have a 12 or 16 team playoff where the best teams are in it. No guarantees to conferences for slots, no G 5 shit. Just the best teams. I look at who will be in this year's playoffs and I think Texas (a flawed team in its own right) could beat half if not more of that field. Miami (who is also shit) I would take over quite a few of the playoff teams.
  14. Let's say Ole Miss let him coach in the playoffs even if he stated he was leaving for LSU. The second Ole Miss loses the entire narrative would be that Kiffin wasn't really focused on the playoffs and was worrying about his new LSU job. If I'm Ole Miss, I can't have that. Time to cut bait and really the Ole Miss AD should be on TV right now saying, "we have fired Lane Kiffin and Joe the assistant coach is our new HC. Hope he chokes to death on a Po Boy in Baton Rouge".
  15. Yeah, Hutson and Robertson are average at best but that combo beats FL (still loses to Ohio State). The fact that the coaching staff had a playoff level team and found a way to miss the playoffs without having major injuries to blame is malpractice. Blame Sark, Flood, Akina, whomever but this team is good enough to not have 3 losses.
  16. Kicker. At least last year that would have been kind of important for the Longhorns.
  17. We lose to Arkansas today and the sun may not rise tomorrow.
  18. I am no expert in recruiting, but it seems like we are starting to recruit a lot more 3-star level players and the other schools recruiting them are not the Top 10ish elite football schools but the Baylor's, Utah's, Oklahoma State's of the world. Yeah, yeah, the coaches are better at evaluating players than the recruiting services and they will coach them up, but this is a recipe for failure that we have all seen before here. When the Bama's, Georgia's, Ohio State's of the world keep loading up on 5 stars and high 4 stars (and God forbid the Aggies start this with their momentum) and we have low 4 stars and high 3 stars everyone will be screaming why do our players look slower and weaker than those other teams when we play them.
  19. This is exactly what Sark is doing at that press conference. He may not show up to the next two games because he is busy in FL recruiting.
  20. I have no clue what’s going but the only thing I can figure is Sark is on that Epstein list or something. Or maybe it’s Lane and Kirby on that list. Did I get that right?
  21. Why don’t we just ask either Andy Reid, Sean McVay, Nick Sirianni or Kyle Shanahan to be our coach. See there’s tons of head coaches out there to get.
  22. There is no way we can get Urban but then I just saw someone online post the below so who knows. 🦑🦑🦦🍍🤡👀🦑🍆
  23. I get what you are saying just not sure I agree with this. If Sark is really an offensive genius it is quite shocking that he looked at the talent at OL, RB, TE and thought, yeah this is all we need. That’s actually pretty scary if you think about it. Sadly, we don’t need amazing players at those positions. A few competent players at say center/left guard, RB and a TE and this team is in the playoffs and maybe even beats an Ohio State or Georgia even with all the talent they have. That being said, someone also needs to fix the secondary as the blown coverages are not acceptable at the rate they have been happening. Either the coaches can’t coach or the players are idiots or maybe a little of both but still unacceptable.
  24. Does Texas have a shitty roster? If so, who’s in charge that should have made sure that didn’t happen? I agree with you that talent wins championships. This team should have been good enough to make the playoffs. They shouldn’t have struggled all year with mediocre teams like Miss St and KY and losing to FL. They shouldn’t be able to stay within 10-14 points of GA in Athens. Worse teams than ours seemed able to hang with Georgia. I am not arguing to fire Sark (not sure he is that great either) but things need to change if Connor Stroh is the guy you trot out at left guard in year 5 of your tenure. I would also argue that Sark has had a relatively good year when it comes to injuries. These players, for the most part, are who he and his staff wanted to play all year. It’s not like the O line sucks because the top 3 starters blew their knees out in the offseason or earlier in the season.
  25. “Texas, Ohio State, and Georgia all replaced their QBs this season. We are the only ones struggling, and it's not just "the line". We have the worst QB of the three currently. We have the worst receiver corps of the three. We have the worst O-line of the three. We have the worst RBs of the three. We have the worst TEs of the three.” -That Guy I find this quote above strange. Seems to me we have the worst OL and TE of the 3 by a long ways not something close. Like our OL and TE groups are worse than mediocre teams in the P5 conferences (especially the IOL). Same goes for RB. I wonder if our QB would look better if he had a functioning OL that could run block, TE’s that could block and catch the ball in an explosive fashion, RB’s that were explosive (Wisner is OK and that’s about it). Even WR’s drop the ball and don’t look all that great. I am confident if you put Manning on Ohio State or Georgia they would be just as good or maybe even better than they are now. Coaching and talent evaluation has killed this offense. Plus mix a little bad play calling in by Sark.
