  1. Trump may be dumb enough to to take that offer.
  2. This fucker apparently had the power to curse our program.
  3. So you are Sherman Tanz from Veep, huh?
  4. This is exactly right. I would love for a 3-5 win season for them but they will play like crap in most games just like last year but somehow find a way to win most of them. I see them beating Miami and Arkansas and maybe even Miss St in ugly games. They should get drummed by Bama.
  5. Cross posted on the Jimbo. recruiting thread also. From ESPN.com this morning. “On the other end of the Mountaineers' 17-14 win Saturday was No. 6 Texas A&M, which was kind enough to upend its fans' expectations in Week 2 rather than waiting until October to do it. The Aggies managed just 186 total yards and one offensive touchdown. A&M paid App State $1.5 million to come to College Station. Add that to the $9 million Jimbo Fisher is being paid not to develop a quarterback, and that's a lot of cash without much return on investment. Aggies boosters are going to have to think twice before ordering the 82-ounce ribeye at breakfast Sunday. For years, Fisher was viewed as a quarterback whisperer, putting three straight into the first round of the NFL draft during his Florida Statetenure. But since Jameis Winston left after the 2014 season, it's been rough. No Fisher QB in that span has completed 60% of his passes and thrown more than 20 TDs in a season. For reference, 36 different QBs did that last season, including his current backup, Max Johnson, who transferred from LSU.”
  6. Hate to see the below on espn.com today. The first part of the article was about the Longhorns and for the most part seemed like a fair assessment. This part about the Aggies is spot on. “On the other end of the Mountaineers' 17-14 win Saturday was No. 6 Texas A&M, which was kind enough to upend its fans' expectations in Week 2 rather than waiting until October to do it.

  7. Nah. He is just not a great coach. Jameis Winston covered up a lot of warts along with all that talent he had at FSU. A great QB in college can make any coach look better. Look what Lamar Jackson did for Charlie Strong and Watson.
  8. This times a thousand. Sark runs an offense that gets guys open but with a crappy QB there is nothing he can do. Thompson was a shit QB and Card is also. Card may be a great guy but as a QB he panics. You can see him hold the ball over and over when he needs to let it go. I don’t think that can be corrected either. The college game may just be a little too fast for him. That is why many good HS qb’s suck when they get to college. I think Card falls into that camp plus he has a noodle for an arm. He just can’t throw the ball over 20 yards consistently and you can’t win with that hamstringing your offense especially against talent like Bama has. The future is bright for the Horns for the fist time in a long time. In 1-2 more years the depth chart should be stocked 2 to 3 deep at every position and then 10 win seasons at a minimum every year will be the norm.
  9. Kind of like when our RB was running towards the end zone and the Bama defensive player reached out across the front of his helmet and his whole head spun around. The natural inclination would be to assume he just got facemasked, yet strangely they didn’t call a facemask even though it was a blatant one.
  10. I’m into that whole tantric sex thing so this hits close to home to me.
  11. On Young’s scramble at the end of the game they definitely missed the OL holding are guy. I can tell you that throughout the course of that game and all games there were tons of holds not called on Texas and Bama that should have been called because that is just what happens in football. What you rarely see is a QB scramble to the outside and a defensive player get held like that when is in position to make the tackle and it not be called. Now would the Texas player have made that tackle? Maybe, maybe not. The ref in the backfield would have a clear view of that hold and for some reason chose not to call it. The 81 yard running play by Bama was similar. I think it was Ford that got tackled by a OL in the hole where the RB went through. Should be called every time but gee, the refs somehow missed that one. I am sure when we play Baylor they will negate some huge Bijan run with a holding call on the other side of the field from the actual play.
  12. Those weren’t even “bang bang” calls. If a ref can’t make those calls then they shouldn’t be allowed to ref a game. The face mask non call was ridiculous because it turned his whole fucking head around. There were 2 refs standing there and I guarantee they saw it but chose not to call it. Just like the PI calls. Guy was mugging Sanders in the end zone, the refs watched it and decided nah we won’t call that.
  13. Looked like the ol tackled our guy right at the hole at the line of scrimmage. Couldn’t tell from the angle.
  14. The President part amazes me. She has been queen from Truman to Biden.
  15. Yup. Quite a few never even tried a case in court but were on the Federalist Society list so they got appointed for life. It’s a real flaw in our judicial system. That and the lack of wearing those powdered wigs. We should bring that back for judges.
  16. Maybe you should take a look at the experience of some of the judges that fuckstick appointed.
  17. What makes you think any of this will actually happen once somehow, someway Jared Kushner is named as the Special Master and he declares everything was declassified and stop bothering my father in law. Listen, I am no lawyer but what am I missing here. He had classified info that he took and that is illegal. Is that even a question? He got caught doing something illegal, period.
  18. Texas 41 Bama 35 Ewers 270 Texas ends the game with a goal line stand on the one yard line stopping Bama from scoring and winning the game.
  19. If the Horns protect the ball and don’t give Bama turnovers I think we can hang with them. Vegas is usually always right so a 17 ish point loss is most likely but all these calls of losing by 40 is bullshit. I can’t wait for the first offensive play from scrimmage we run and all those Bama studs blow past our O line when in reality Sark called a screen pass to Bijan that goes for a TD.
  20. Technically I’m from FL so between that and Texas…..ughh I would definitely be all for Texit just to watch the SEC kick A&M out because they are in a foreign country.
  21. Figured it to be a wizard but wasn’t sure if it was one of the named wizards everyone already knows from LOTR or the Hobbit movies. Guessing the timeline wouldn’t fit for any of those wizards but I don’t know how long they live. I was hoping it was Gandalf.
  22. Just finished the first two. I quite enjoyed that and looking forward to more of them. Any thoughts on who the dude from the sky is?
