  1. This is funny because I just had this discussion with my wife about fast food costs. My kid had 4 friends over this morning and she wanted to know if we should run up and get some fast food and feed them. She thought Chick Fila would be about $5 a kid and I said more like $10 plus no matter what fast food you decide on. I ended up going with the "send the kids back to their own houses for fucking lunch" decision.
  2. Posted this in the Ewers thread but it is probably more fitting in this one.
  3. So that’s what football was like in the 1940’s. I bet Bill wishes he didn’t let Mac throw any passes instead of the 3.
  4. Agreed. Rick Beato mentioned that in a 365 day period they put out Help, Rubber Soul and Revolver which is pretty remarkable also.
  5. There a game tomorrow night?
  6. He should because the new Pizza in a Cup guy ran the old Cup O’ Pizza guy out of business!
  7. After Christmas? By then, Ewers will have already picked a new school, taken a million in NIL money and decided to go to another school to get more NIL money.
  8. He is the son of the dad who said we got him. Come on and try and keep up.
  9. See, this is why you will never be a true $9.95er. Now, I happen to have key contacts with the Ewers recruitment so I will tell you all now based on what I am being told there is a chance he goes to Texas but there is also a chance he goes to Tech, TCU or another mystery team bidding for his services just like when Scott Boras has a MLB free agent he is peddling to the Yankees/Red Sox and a “mystery team” always appears. Did I cover all possible results and still “act” like I have a clue what’s going on?
  10. Um, Sark can promise him the starting role and then not start him. He can promise him the starting role and pull him if he sucks. If Sark or any of our coaches don’t know how to close a recruit by telling them what they want to hear then that is a BIG problem. Saban will tell a kid he will make him the next head coach of Alabama if he commits and the kids seem to believe him.
  11. Thought this was one of the cool parts of the doc but didn’t they start working on Abbey Road like weeks or a month or so after the Get Back sessions? If so, it makes sense they had those song’s percolating in their heads at the time.
  12. By this logic he really should go to Michigan because the greatest QB of all time went there. Yeah, the coaches and OC are totally different now but why should that matter.
  13. To be fair, how many of these QB’s had Greg Davis as their offensive coordinator. Vince Young was only good when he stopped listening to Davis and a lot of his great plays were broken plays. I can’t count how many times during Simms years it was obvious the exact play we were running and if I knew it, I am damn sure the D we were facing knew also. Also, you should refer to Gilbert as Super Bowl champion Garrett Gilbert so apparently he didn’t end up being that bad of a college QB.
  14. About the enjoyment of fisting oneself? I can’t really answer that.
  15. I don’t know guys. He would still have to beat out Hudson Card for the job so maybe we don’t really need him. 😀
  16. Bigger question is if he does come to UT can he get some OL recruits or OL portal guys to follow him. Maybe even bring a WR or TE.
  17. The way things are going I think Jimbo told Dewberry to wait until Sark is in your house next week and then live stream you committing to A&M with him sitting behind you crying. Furk!
  18. Based on the documentary, Billy Preston seems like the happiest guy on Earth. I think he was laughing and smiling with a cig in his mouth every time they showed him. His happiness is understandable since he was jamming with The Beatles and I would think that would be pretty cool to most musicians at the time. The only thing that would have made it look cooler is if Billy had his mid 70's afro and beard going on when playing on the roof top of Apple.
  19. Is he a highly ranked recruit? If so then cut bait. Is he a 2-3 star recruit who is also looking at Sam Houston State and North Texas then maybe we have a shot if the stars align.
  20. Maybe not errybody but sumbody? Explain why A&M is getting all of these recruits and don't just say $$$ because if that is it, we and everyone else should be able to pay for some of these kids. Not all but maybe one or two. It's not like A&M just put up a strong year with their 4 losses and maybe even 5 if they get a decent opponent in a bowl game. The bottom line is if Sark and his staff (remember brining in Banks, Flood, et al and how they were supposed to drop bags finally and get the big time recruits) are unable to bring in top level talent then he will fail miserably here. I am one of the few who has been defending Sark on the Football board but if you can't close recruits you will not succeed at school the level of Texas (yeah I know we have sucked for a decade but pretty sure this fan base will not be content with 8-4 type years as our success).
