  1. Once he does the drugs, bad decisions, wine and women he probably becomes our next president. That shit won't bring him down in this country.
  2. How about zero championships for football or basketball but football wins 10 games a year, finishes top 15 every year and wins some good bowl games and basketball is a 20 win team that wins the SEC a few times and goes the the sweet 16 a bunch. I would take that at this point.
  3. He had Kennedy killed. At least that’s what Oliver Stone told me.
  4. I am surprisingly nervous about tonight’s game. The way the NFL has been going with bad teams beating good ones I don’t know what to expect.
  5. Not sure if I am getting the line right but when Larry asked Suzie if she knew anyone that had a cow and she responded "what am I, Little House on the Fucking Prairie" was fantastic.
  6. Just posted in the Covid thread about this since the wife and I were in NYC all last week. You def need to show ID and vaccine card everywhere. Restaurants, museums, broadway musicals, stores, you name it. Wasn’t a big deal and made us feel safer so all good. We had a great time in the city doing all the touristy stuff like the Empire State Building, 911 memorial, walking Central Park and hitting a few art museums like The MOMA and The Whitney. Also walked the High Line, Little Island and that area which was pretty cool. For food, we didn’t do anything that great as the wife is not a “foodie” and we stayed close to Midtown for meals since we had Broadway tickets on a few nights. A few of the places we ate that were pretty good were Ai Fiori for our anniversary. Food was pretty good but didn’t blow me away. I had a lobster dish that they are know for and it wasn’t all that. The pasta we had as a starter was fantastic though. Hit Becco (Chef Lydia’s Italian place) one night before a show and it was good and also went to Five Napkin Burger before a show and that also was good. Didn’t do the traditional NY Pizza but grabbed a quick lunch at Don Antonio (it was on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives) and the Pizza was really good. Neapolitan style but the pistachio pesto and sausage pizza was quite tasty. Also hit Katz’s Deli for lunch for a pastrami sandwich just to say we did it and it was also pretty good. I have no desire to live in NYC but do love visiting once or twice a year as it is a cool place even though I have to look at Yankees/Jets/Giants shit everywhere.
  7. I can attest to this. I was there last week and coming from Texas it was like a night and day difference. We had to show our vaccine card and ID to get into every store, restaurant, museum, broadway musical, etc…and when inside wear a mask. The wife felt much safer in NYC than she has in Dallas for the last few years.
  8. So if we get a New Years Day bowl bid he should be good to play in it right?
  9. You just can’t vote for Beto. He will take everybody’s guns away, make everybody get an abortion (even if you are a man) and make us all piss at least once with a transgender person in a public bathroom. This is what you will here on Right wing media until he loses by 20 plus points to a guy in a wheel chair that would be better at running in a marathon than being an actual governor. I can’t wait until Abbott starts doing commercials about what a great job he has done with the TX electrical grid and how strong he was during the deep freeze last winter and all the idiots in this state will nod along like sheep. That is Texas for you.
  10. If Brockermeyer wasn’t his last name he would be playing ball at maybe Sam Houston State or somewhere worse. He wouldn’t be starting there either. Maybe getting to play at the very end of a game on senior night. Bush and Schooler also shouldn't be on a power 5 team roster yet they start or play many downs. It is baffling.
  11. I agree with this and Dylan Haines may have been the worst player I have seen play for the Horns in the last 35 years. That is what blows my mind. We have a guy starting in the secondary that is so much worse than the worst player this team has fielded in the last 35 years. My question for those of you that know the whole roster of this team. Are there better players behind Schooler that should be playing but PK won’t let them? Same question for Brock. The reason we get gashed by the run is because I haven’t seen a D lineman on this team get off a block all year and Brock gets washed out by anyone close to him that comes to block him. Not saying I am a fan of PK as I really don’t know that much about him but I don’t see scheme issues like I did with Orlando or Diaz. We are not blitzing a safety 20 yards off the line of scrimmage or shit like that. I see our players in position to fill a hole and they are not physically capable of doing it and making the tackle. I see guys missing tackles because they aren’t fast and strong enough to get the right angle or bring the guy down. I guess I am one of the few on this board that is willing to give Sark and PK a pass right now BUT if Brock is starting next year then they should fire all of them after the first loss. That shows me the coaches aren’t capable of brining in any talent if we still have guys like that starting.
  12. I am actually not so sure if a bunch of our defensive players would actually start for Kansas. Do you think they would? I see absolutely zero talent on the defensive side. Not one real difference maker on the d line, the LBs or the secondary. I mean at this point Kansas has just as much NFL talent as we do on our defense. None.
  13. How many wins does he get with this years team? You know, the team he recruited. Are Casey or Card suddenly good QB’s? Is the OL really good with Herman still here? How bout the WR’s and TE’s? They can suddenly catch? Let’s look at the defense also. Does Herman coaching make Schooler, Brock and the rest of the players better? I don’t see it. We may be actually worse if Herman was still the coach. I have not seen worse talent on a UT team in the 40 years I have been watching them. Show me a less talented Horns team. I get the anger with the coaches but I have watched our defenders in position to make plays and they just can’t do it. Not strong enough or fast enough.
  14. The look on Jeff’s face when Susie was explaining how the stage 4 person with cancer convinced her not to get a divorce was priceless.
  15. You keep blaming Sark but this comment right here shows why the Offense sucks and no coach could fix it this year. When your O line sucks it doesn't matter if you have a great QB, WR's and RB's the offense will still suck. Now add in that we don't have a great QB and have only one good WR and it is a miracle that Sark has been able to figure out ways to score at all. If our QB's could hit a few wide open WR's and if those WR's could actually make a catch we would have scored a bunch more last night even with the crap O line and that tells me Sark is actually figuring out ways to put the shit players in position to succeed as best as any coach can at this point. To add to a crap O line being a problem. You can tell by my avatar that I am a Pats fan and Brady to me is the best ever. The years or even games when the Oline wasn't good are the times when Brady looked horrible and everyone called for him to retire because he was too old. The second the Pats got his O line back to being good he was suddenly able to perform (this includes leaving the Pats and going to the Bucs who had a solid OL and GREAT WR's).
  16. I think you need to look at those supposed Top 10 classes closely. Were they Top 10 because he recruited a bunch of 4 star WR, CB, or because he loaded up on stud O and D Lineman? Was the ranking based on a few stud 5 stars that weren’t actually that good (see BJ Fosters of the world). It seems any school can have what looks like a Top 10 class based on the rankings but that doesn’t tell the whole story of how that team will actually look a few years down the road. I don’t recall Herman recruiting very well in the trenches ( I believe many on this board were calling for the head of the OL coach or coaches for many years) and they were right as this is the crap he left.
  17. I agree over used is the wrong word. How bout overwhelmed like overwhelmed by the 5 defenders behind our line of scrimmage every time he touches the ball because our O line gets blown up over and over again.
  18. If not for a fluky fumble and a doinked FG they could be sitting at 6-2 with that rookie QB.
  19. Of all the dumb things you say on this board this may be the dumbest.
  20. Why would you expect that? You think Saban could “coach up” Brock, Bush or Schooler? They would suddenly be better? You want to know the secret of Bill Belichick? He drafts players, which is a crapshoot, and if he realizes they aren’t good he cuts them and moves on. He doesn’t try and coach them up. Now the NFL is different than college but all those players Saban gets moved off of the Bama roster for better players is because they are not good and he realizes he can’t coach them up. Unfortunately, those players he jettisons are 1000 times better than what we have starting for us right now. I believe Sark will succeed here as long as he can recruit over the next two classes. If he fails at that then yes he will be fired soon after since the talent level will keep us at a 6-7 win team at most.
  21. There is not much to coach up. I think Sark has some plays/schemes that get guys open which is more than I have seen from many of our offensive coaches over the last 20 years. Tell me this. Who on the O line do you think is a good player? Which one of them is strong at the point of attack, holds their blocks, etc…. Which of the WR can actually catch a football other than Worthy? Which TE can catch a ball and not immediately trip over their own feet and fall down? Which QB is really a good QB? It is hard to judge them with horrific OL play but I hate to break it to you but both QB’s are crap. Casey in the first half was throwing the ball like Cam Newton did last year for my Patriots and he at least has the excuse of having a shoulder of a 90 year old at this point.
