  1. You dont like the work of Bill O Brien, Rome Crennel, Matt Patricia, Josh McDaniels as head coaches?
  2. At least it’s an improvement right? Listen, Sark probably isnt the guy and will get fired after 2 more years if the W-L record still sucks but I don’t see another coach really doing much with this team as it is currently constructed either. Sonny Dykes wouldn’t have this team playing any better. That guy ain’t the next Nick Saban and based on what I have seen from TCU this year they barely won a bunch of games against a mediocre Big 12. I may be wrong but is TCU starting a freshmen QB, freshmen OL, Freshmen CB etc… TCU will get destroyed in the playoffs against OSU or UGA once the Big 12 refs aren’t calling their games. Duggan was not that impressive last night but their WR is a total stud. Better than anyone we had on the field last night.
  3. I can’t remember but I think it was their first TD but that TCU offense did nothing all night and then the QB ran and got the edge for 10 plus yards I think based on a obvious hold by the right tackle (right in front of the ref and it was the only reason the play sprung). The next play or so was the long run that only got sprung because they held Watts right at the point of attack where the runner was and that was also really obvious. Listen, Sark sucks, Ewers sucks, the Oline sucks, PK sucks, you name it BUT it seems whether we are home or on the road that the Big 12 refs are going to make it tough on Texas and that is some BS.
  4. It was the first game I have been to in like 5 years so you could definitely see it better in person more than on TV and like I said in my post, Worthy never fights for a ball it seems and dogs most of the plays. He may be the most over rated WR I have ever seen. He has speed but half assing everything and shitty hands is a bad combination.
  5. I was at the game last night and this is exactly the post I was about to write. Worthy slowed down on a few deep balls and made no effort to catch anything that wasn’t right in his hands while in stride. What is killing this offense is the O LIne. We are playing a bunch of true freshmen and the upper class men on O Line shows how bad the previous recruiting was. They got their shit pushed in last night. They sucked at run blocking and pass blocking. It also looked like there were quite a few pass plays where the pocket started collapsing and all 3 or 4 receivers were totally covered so Quinn had nowhere to really go with the ball. I also noticed a few times when Quinn threw an incompletion there were 2 receivers right next to each other which I am pretty sure was a screw up by one of the receivers. I get Ewers threw plenty of bad passes last night and missing Bijan on the wide open wheel route was unbelievably bad but he got little help from the O line, the receivers running wrong routes, dropping balls in their hands and not going to get balls that weren’t perfect. Basically everyone sucked on O. As far as Sark goes, I have defended him to this point but man he called a bad game last night. How many times is he going to hand off to Bijan from the Shotgun to the short side of the field for no gain? Seemed like we ran that play a bunch and it just wastes a down. Also, at some point what I said above about the O line, WR’s, and QB has to fall on Sark. The team is very undisciplined as far as penalties and mistakes and once again that has to fall on Sark also. 2 roughing the kicker penalties (I know one wasn’t but they shouldn’t have been near the flopper kicker) is just a sign of a poorly coached team. The defensive back letting the TCU WR have a wide open TD was brutal also. At this point I am willing to wait the last few games and see what happens. If we somehow win both and go 8-4 it is kind of what most of us expected/hoped this year after a 5-7 season last year. The guy is here for another year if not 2 so like others have said hopefully he can continue to stockpile talent and some of these O Line men will be better once they are sophomores and juniors and not true freshmen playing on the O line. With enough talent and depth he could be another Mack Brown. Not a great coach but someone who wins 10 games a year on talent alone. Yeah, it probably won’t happen but one can dream.
  6. I don't think we have the numbers for Putin at this point. He should go to A&M to play QB as they need all the help they can get.
  7. I heard Biden helped Hillary with the whole Benghazi thing so they should do some more hearings on Benghazi. I wouldn’t be shocked if we get a Jim Jordan speaker of the house and the R’s become even crazier.
  8. Can you imagine the conspiracy theories if the R’s have the house 218-217 and some old Republican dies of a heart attack or something. Facebook will be flooded with Clinton had that congressman killed or some shit like that.
  9. But we have Ricky Williams. That’s a win for Texas.
  10. We gettin all the recruits….wait what thread is this?
  11. Played with my CBX Zipcore wedges for the first time yesterday. Holy shit I have never chipped that well from 30 yards to right off the green (using the 52 degree). Also, hit the full wedges really good (52 and 56 degrees) and straight (75-100 yards). Maybe it was flukey but I was getting spin like the pros get on my chips and approaches which I have never done before. It felt like I was cheating compared to the way I usually hit my Volkey’s. Game improvement wedges are worth it to me if this will be the way they always play.
  12. So Boebert wins a close one. Just curious but any idea how many close wins the R’s got versus the D’s in both the Senate and Congressional races? I wonder if it breaks 50/50 in close races or if one side got lucky (like fumble luck in football where there are 5 fumbles and one team recovers all 5).
  13. Anybody selling a parking pass for the game this weekend?
  14. Apparently taking pictures like this would help.
  15. I would bet my life saving that if you ran a sack of potatoes for the Senate in a state like Texas and put a R next to it on the ballot it would win easily. My kid asked me earlier what would the votes be for all of these races if there were no D or R next to their name but people listened to each person running and voted for the one with the best ideas. I am curious how that experiment would turn out. I mean, in OH would Tim Ryan beat Vance if neither were affiliated with a party?
  16. All 3 are total Republican states. Just like Alabama or Mississippi. MI, PA and maybe WI are the keys for the Dems going forward in the Big 10 states. I still can’t believe Ron Johnson gets to be a Senator still but then again Herschel Walker getting that many votes is just sad for America.
  17. Could Boebert actually lose?
  18. Going to a game with my son for the first time in many years and looking for parking. Where is this parking at?
  19. Fox News. I need to get used to watching the only channel we will be allowed to watch in the future.
  20. I still struggle to grasp a world where Walker is a US Senator. I long for the good old days where Republicans put forth strong candidates like Sonny Bono and Gopher from the Love Boat.
  21. First off, I used to play Ping Eye 2s back in the 90’s I think. Loved those clubs but someone stole them out of my garage in Dallas. To answer your question, I played yesterday with the new irons. Overall, I hit really shitty with them. That being said, our range was closed and I have never hit them before (picked them up Saturday) so I was hitting them on the course for the first time and really need to hit each iron at the range for a session or two to get the feel for them. I was playing Taylor Made M4s and switched to Titleist T 300’s. My clubs were like 4-5 years old but the tech has changed just in that time span as every iron I tried in my fitting went higher and farther than my Taylor Mades. The best irons that I hit for my swing were the Titleist, but the Mizuno Hot Metals, Ping G425’s and Srixon irons were also really good. I will say I had a few mis hit irons on the course that I swear my Taylor Mades would have sent into the rough on the right and these stayed straight since the are so forgiving. The Driver I switched to is a Callaway Rogue Max D and I have played that for 3 rounds now and I swear I don’t miss the fairway because its so forgiving. Even a mis hit that should slice OB still ends up on the fairway so pretty happy with that. I also got a Titleist TSR 3 wood which I have struggled hitting off the deck the first 3 rounds of use but that’s on me as I suck at woods off the deck and never hit them. I figured I have to start trying to hit the 3 wood so I have to accept bad shots. The best purchase I have made was getting fitted for a LAB Mezzo putter in July. I was a shitty putter with my Spider and with the LAB I hit the putt straight where I want it to go 99% of the time. I have been sinking 4-6 footers consistently when with my Spider I would literally go 0-10 on those in a round. That putter is worth every penny to me.
  22. Take a look at the AFC East. My Pats are in last place with a 5-4 record. Might be the best division in football with a great Bills team and 3 solid teams. No bad team in that division.
  23. Dems lose everything nationally except a couple of races. The few races the Dems win the Republicans accuse them of cheating and voter fraud and take it to court to get them over turned somehow. The nation slowly slips away from Democracy into a dictatorship controlled by the Republican Party which is a party whose views are technically in the minority nationally. I personally find a way to retire and live on a beach in the Caribbean earning 20%.
