  1. Ah yes the bastard offspring of “Americans think the world is round because NASA said so”
  2. I’m giving you advanced permission to keep it on grounds that you losing the bet only means it happened 1-6 months after you say it would have.
  3. Yeah you’re definitely the poster boy for sticking to relevant issues.
  4. Seriously, let’s go Brandon is to the 2020’s as Tuck Fexas was to the 1970’s. So congratulations, sooner trash!
  5. They were saying “dump truck”
  6. Aha! I caught you, you fucking snake in the grass! Every red blooded American knows it’s “gerd jerbs!!!”
  7. Yeah and the next paragraph is pretty damned important: "A few days later, Axley received another email from the university. It said that as the case was moving ahead for a final decision, Axley needed to sign a document acknowledging that she could be found to have violated the university’s code of conduct. The Liberty Way covers nearly all aspects of a student’s life and includes bans on drinking and “being in any state of undress with a member of the opposite sex.” Pretty much just like the Bible would have it: if they're caught and the woman doesn't scream, it's a death sentence for both of them. If she does scream, the man can get out of it by paying her father 50 shekels of silver, and she'd be his!
  8. I mean if you asked them about sine cosine and tangent, they’d think that’s when two people sign for furniture from NFM and then yell at the delivery guy about illegal immigrants and gays making life hard on them. They signed, co-signed, and went on a tangent.
  9. Ok so the way I read this question is that such a loss has to have a ripple effect on the losing team for a long period. In that respect, all the Nebraska wins should suffice because the first one marked the beginning of a steep decline for that program from which they've still not recovered. They had a 9-2 season under first year head coach Bob Devaney back in 1962. Between that and the inaugural Big 12 season of 1996 (34 years), they won at least 9 games in all but 2 seasons (went 6-4 in both '67 and '68). They won at least a share of the MNC 4 times in that period. Over their very loud objections about Texas joining the Big 12, they faced that same Texas in 1996. They did manage to win an MNC in 1997 and made an appearance in the 2001 game, but that 1996 Big 12 CCG marked the beginning of the end. After Miami tossed their limp corpse into the Pacific Ocean, they became an average program at best. Yes, that 1996 game certainly qualifies and I would rank that one ahead of the subsequent defeats. Aggy wins in 1995 and 2011 certainly qualify. 2006 Rose Bowl certainly qualifies, although I'll say the subsequent NCAA sanctions that came down on them also had a lot to do with their slouching into mediocrity. Here are some lesser known ones, largely because they weren't seen as significant wins by UT fans over an extended period: 2008 vs. Kansas. Kansas just came off a BCS bowl win in the previous year, had a solid team coming back the next year. Texas wins 35-7. That was their final loss of what wound up being an 8-5 season, and they haven't won more than 3 games in any year where Mangino was not the HC. Again, the impact of the win was mitigated by subsequent revelations of Mangino's conduct towards his players, which ultimately led to his ouster. 2009 vs. Texas Tech. Like Kansas the year previous, they were coming off the best season in school history. They lose to Texas by 10, ultimately lose 3 other games, Leach gets railroaded by alumni who were reluctant to increase his salary (in fact, the Chancellor of the University would go so far as to commit perjury in order to give the appearance of legitimacy of his for cause termination). Again, mitigating factors, but a loss to Texas is included and Texas Tech has still yet to win 9 games in a season since 2009. 1989 vs. Oklahoma. Gardere's personal first of four in a row, the team ultimately goes 5 out of 6 through 1994 and 7-2-1 to close out the decade of the 1990's, which was easily the worst decade for Oklahoma football. Of course they've since made it back, but it took quite a while .
  10. You’re responding to a quote that’s clearly indicative a truly degenerate mind. We shouldn’t be wasting time responding to people whose values are such that they can justify the fucking invasion of Iraq. That’s about as depraved as it is possible to be.
  11. Offensive line is still like watching a dentist pull teeth, defense was actually pretty damn good for about 45 minutes until those repeated 3-and-outs by the offense took their toll on them.
  12. I’ve seen this video posted as if he changed tunes. What this video serves as is an indictment of the imperial mentality that is pervasive on both sides of the aisle, but certainly his side of the aisle. He’s sitting there speaking as if it was just a given that the US had the right to just waltz into Iraq (or any country) and overthrow the government. Never mind the hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of civilian deaths that would inevitably follow, never mind that there’s no legal basis for using military force to overthrow a civilian government; his only concern was “too many players in the game, not worth that many dead American soldiers.” That’s about as cold and callous as it gets, fundamentally no different than Kissinger’s “anything that flies on anything that moves.” As to Powell, as someone already said, there are a lot of bad actors in that administration but he was certainly way down the list. The guy in the video was #1.
  13. That’s the part that’s least understood by those who choose to walk with the shepherd.
  14. I am and that's shit, but why the fuck did Central Michigan have a shot to beat us at the end? It's inexcusable. It's pretty on-brand for us though and I stopped losing sleep over things like that years ago. I mean I get where your gripe is and I get that the culprit on the final play is the officials, but rightly or wrongly, when shit like that happens, the “victims” of such shenanigans have a tendency to view the other team as the perpetrators. Some instances are more true than others (again see Texas vs Baylor 1992), but that kind of shit goes with the territory.
  15. You are aware that under the rules of the NCAA, y’all actually won that game, are you not?
  16. Of course. I think that's the point though. The posts on this board for six years have been overwhelmingly 'Fuck Okie Lite' when in reality the hate should all be directed at the refs. I mean I guess Boone may have paid them off... but he's dead. Of course what you’re saying is true, but be honest in answering the following: When I say the words “Central Michigan,” what image immediately comes to mind?
  17. I want to say this unequivocally about the 1992 Baylor game: Yeah, the officiating was beyond horrible. It’s actually on YouTube in its original broadcast (with commercials, evidently what you Austinites all saw if you watched on TV judging by the ads). I actually took notes on the very obvious calls: -Two ridiculous holding calls on Brockermeyer, and he evidently was so pissed off that Mackovic had to take him out. -Clear fumble by Baylor recovered by Texas, ruled down by contact. -Defensive pass interference on Texas that shouldn’t have been called and if anything should have been called on Baylor (this is the flea flicker play for those somewhat familiar with the game) -Baylor receiver catches a pass on the flat, fumbles it clearly in bounds, Texas recovers, but the ref marks him out of bounds. It wasn’t a forward progress thing either because the hit that jarred the ball loose was instant and the first replay shown was with sound and you can clearly hear the whistles well after the ball was rolling on the ground. -Touchdown Baylor (the last one), ball never broke the plane. -Personal foul face mask on Texas when it clearly was incidental. Was on a play where Baylor was stuffed for a 5 yard loss on 2nd and 9. It’s actually a stretch to say this was even a penalty, but if it was, the correct ruling is incidental face mask, 5 yards on the end of the run, and that makes it 3rd and 9 instead of an automatic first down. -There was also a play early in the game where Baylor gained 4 yards on first down, Texas gets flagged for a 5 yard face mask, it gets tacked onto the play and repeat the down, so 1st and 1?! But with all that said, Texas had two chances to win the game at the end and Peter Gardere sucked shit through a straw. Baylor went for it on 4th down with like 6-7 minutes to play on their own 40, got stuffed because the QB dropped the snap. Gardere picked up 2 yards on the 1st play. But then, he doesn’t call mayday and back out of a pass play where a middle blitz is clearly coming, somehow bounces off the blitzer but in doing so he spins into the arms of the rush end for a 9 yard loss. He then drops back on 3rd and 17, tries to hit Duke on a 12 or so yard stop on the sideline but he’s well covered. On the replay, you can clearly see Baylor was using a soft cover 2 (this was back when zone coverages played out exactly as they’re drawn and it was beyond easy to beat it if you called the right play and had adequate protection) and Mike Adams was clear as day wide open in the middle void. Now, does he get the first if he gets the pass? Maybe and maybe the safeties rally and stop him short. But even if he’s stopped short, Texas is back in field goal range and you’re talking about Scott Szeredy with the wind at his back. The next series was even worse as Gardere just kept forcing passes into tight coverage. So yeah the ref fuckery had a lot to do with it, but our beloved Peter Peter the Sooner Beater absolutely blew it at the end.
  18. Seriously that play was like that cop-cam video showing a dude surrendering to the police well before they approached, they beat the living fuck out of him and when other cops asked how he came to be bleeding so much, they said “he was resisting.” And the cop who asked the question just goes “oh.” Like case closed, no more questions, nothing to see here, show’s over folks. ”Why’d you drop your hat?” ”Oh I thought he stepped out but the wind is really bad and it dried my eyes and I now remember seeing the defender pushing him out.” ”Oh…”
