  1. Would the 7th layer of Hell have Royer's? I don't think so.
  2. Doesn't show up in the box score but Juan Davis did a ton of dirty work for us.
  3. ...is a fucking menace. I didn't find a dedicated thread. It's probably named something stupid and not at all witty. I was watching this analysis video posted by @LTtxfan in another thread. Specifically the play that starts at 5:22. In the TV broadcast, I'm pretty sure Klatt criticized Orji for making a bad read on that play. But watching it over, to my eyes, it just looks like Anthony Hill just responds to this play perfectly and gives Orji two bad choices. He makes a move to the outside to force Orji to hand it off but has the athleticism and the awareness to immediately crash down and tackle Orji anyway. The pulling guard could have detonated him and didn't, but if I'm not mistaken, that's not what the G is supposed to do on this play. I think he's looking for the LB. Anyway this just stuck out at me because I remember the blame was put on Orji during the broadcast, and Michigan fans have been criticizing the power read plays with Orji. But I think this was a lot more on Hill being incredible.
  4. NHC has been moving it east with every update. Landfall at Vermilion bay in the 10 am update. Good for Houston, bad for LA.
  5. AirPods are cool when they work but I think between my wife and I we’ve had 3 pairs crap out on us with regular use. I’m out on them.
  6. Hicks has kinda quietly had a very nice NFL career. $43 million earned (and counting) and a Super Bowl ring. One of our better players from a pretty dark era of Texas football.
  7. Buddy if we ain't worrying about the numbers, what are we even doing here?
  8. Does FSU have any DBs we can take?
  9. It’s like an NFL fight greatest hits collection. We’ve got Raiders/Chargers, a guy sleeping, fat chicas throwing hands. Starting the season off by playing the classics.
  10. Lions just fucking bullied them in OT.
  11. You probably mean this: https://docs.google.com/file/d/1TzoBTIvCXfZIk7Sz3C9txMg0yPvrXyVM/edit?usp=docslist_api&filetype=msexcel As always, props to @AP101S, who created and maintains it. Should be pinned at the top of the recruiting board, IMO.
  12. Their lack of talent was pretty jarring. The TE and a couple of the pieces on D could play for a contender, that’s about it. Reading their fan boards, the cupboard is bare among sophomores and freshmen too. They love Harbaugh now but they may reevaluate him eventually. Seems like he burned this motherfucker to the ground on his way out.
  13. That Michigan blogger told me last week that they had a million "dangermen" and we had like 2. Incredible that we managed to beat them with such a wild mismatch in talent.
  14. I heard Mbatchou has never actually laid eyes on a football before. He’s more like a theoretical construct, really.
  15. First big forecasting miss of the season on this one. ”Nothing to see here” ”Nothing to see here” ”Nothing to see here” “Oh shit tropical storm into Houston”
  16. I never doubted Kenny Baker for a second. Elite hire. All according to plan.
  17. Is that our first sack of the year?
  18. They just get a free shot on our QB?
  19. Feels like we’ve been pretty bad on 1st down
  20. Watched this last night. So much interesting stuff in it. Herculean effort by Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie (after hosting an awards show!) to keep it on track. Geldof giving a speech to get everyone’s minds right. Al Jarreau getting too drunk to sing. Bob Dylan - IMO one of the top 5 most influential people in the room - lacking confidence because he’s way out of his comfort zone. The insane transcendent talent of MJ and Stevie Wonder. Waylon Jennings peacing out when they start talking about putting in Swahili lyrics (Wikipedia says they talked him into coming back but that’s not shown in the doc). A guy like Steve Perry standing around for hours and then nailing his one line in one try. Huey Lewis just being a normal everyday guy and proxy for the audience. And on and on. On top of all that, just watching the background and seeing so many megastars just kinda standing around hanging out is wild. My biggest question is how/why they didn’t get Madonna. They mentioned her for one second early on and showed her at the awards ceremony but never addressed why she didn’t participate.
  21. That was an exceptionally poor offensive series with the game on the line
  22. I resent this post and you should be ashamed of yourself. You completely forgot to mention interminable posts about a stupid fucking flag at a stupid fucking hotel that no one gives a fuck about.
  23. Taylor get the cupgrade?
  24. X and Rice gonna absolutely EAT for the Chiefs this year. Hope you got em on your fantasy team
  25. I read that whole Michigan writeup and I can't believe the guy is going with "I haven't heard of these WRs so they must not be very good". We might not have an individual as good as X or Mitchell (as of right now, at least), but we go legitimately 5 deep, probably 6 deep, with guys that can absolutely hurt you. He does make good points about their DL against our interior OL. It's a strength against a weakness. If they can pressure Quinn with 4, we'll have a lot of trouble sustaining drives. I wouldn't say that staying calm in the face of pressure is one of Quinn's strengths.
