  1. Yes, which is one reason the football program needs to be completely siloed from the rest of the university. In the immortal words of Cardale Jones, "We ain't come to play school." At Bama, OU and tOSU, it's all about the team and accountability to the team. Dennison laughs at that concept because he believes personal accountability is an outdated concept, but it is a hallmark of all successful football programs and hasn't existed at Texas for a decade.
  2. Consider this as your new username
  3. Motherfuckers need to get in the fucking transfer portal. If this staff wants to survive, they need to burn the program down (massive transfers out and in and huge recruiting freshman class), build it back from the ashes and silo it off from the rest of the university as much as possible. That is a much easier task for a basketball program but the football program needs to get there if it ever wants to consistently compete again on a national level. Outside of the hard sciences, this generation of students (particularly at an institution like UT) is indulged and coddled like no other in history and it bleeds into athletics. The Ohio State and Alabama football programs don't interact with the larger university. The players live, train, "study", eat and basically exist separate from the university (including the other athletes) in NFL boot camps. If that approach isn't palatable for Texas, stop pretending to be serious about football and embrace Nebraska status (which at least has a legitimate excuse for its irrelevance).
  4. Was this game fixed?
  5. This is NBA playoff level fuckery
  6. He was elite his first three years in the NFL and broke many NFL records for fewest games to x receptions and x receiving yards. The broken ankle reduced his explosiveness and now he is old and playing with an average at best QB.

    USMNT 2021

    Brooks hasn't been at his best but he has been much better than McKenzie who the US soccer media loves to make excuses for. McKenzie has repeatedly sucked.

    USMNT 2021

    Dest is out so Yedlin will probably start both games. Arriola will definitely start at least one game (Greggggggg tried to start him all three games last cycle until he was injured during the CR warm up). Lletget and Roldan will both play but hopefully only as subs. Never forget that Greggggg has no idea what he is doing.
  9. It begins with self loathing and spreads from there.
  10. The "just got out of prison" youtube channels consistently claim that prison politics are universally racial and white dudes must clique up with white prison gangs in order to eke out a tolerable existence in medium or high security prisons. Once in those gangs, you have to do as told by the shot callers which invariably involves shanking someone.
  11. We have officially reached the stage when D elites start making empty threats about moving to Europe.
  12. A Black woman won the VA Lt. Gov race.
  13. Old white man Bernie was a legitimate change agent but fuck old white men.
  14. This is the deep analysis of the merits of political candidates we should demand.
  15. Worst performance by a McAuliffe since 1986
  16. It’s best to pretend that Texas football no longer exists.
  17. Michigan has been a better program than Texas since 2009. Michigan has been an 8-4 program (deflated by 2-4 COVID season) while Texas has been a 7-5 program (inflated by 7-3 COVID season). Michigan has had 4 10-win seasons and Top-15 finishes (11, 15, 16, 18) while Texas has had 1 (18). Michigan has had 2 losing seasons while Texas has had 4. Texas has been actually closer to Nebraska than Michigan since 2009 although Nebraska has had 6 9-win seasons during that period compared to Texas' 2. There is no bigger joke in college football right now than Texas. It is what it is.
  18. She's probably crazier than Shelley
  19. Yeah, If LHN was the sticking point, they would have developed a workaround. As CTJ stated above, the core members of Urban's team wouldn't leave a very stable situation with comparable money in Columbus immediately after signing arguably the best recruiting class in school history.
  20. Oklahoma State also has an elite pass defense. That said, Baylor's pass D (28th in adjusted pass efficiency and top-50 in the adjusted yards numbers) is better than the other teams Casey has started against and Iowa State's is the best we play other this season other than OSU. Not cakewalk defenses the next two game.s
  21. And yet he would have played for the National Championship in 2012 with Urban's team if ND hadn't miraculously survived 5 games against shitty teams. Everyone knows Muschamp is a poor HC.
  22. Also played on Gram Parsons' solo albums and Jerry Garcia's solo albums among others.
  23. Yup. People forget that Muschamp went 11-2 his second year. Bowling Green went 11-3 and 9-3 in the two years after Urban left and Whittingham kept Utah performing at a high level for years after he left. Ohio State still hasn't lost a conference game since Urban left.
  24. Well that and rape

    USMNT 2021

    Derka thinks the USMNT/US Soccer just discovered minorities while: 10 years ago: Tim Howard, Nick Rimando, Timothy Chandler, Michael Orozco, Oguchi Onyewu, Omar Gonzalez, Fabian Johnson, Edgar Castillo, Maurice Edu, Alfredo Morales, Ricardo Clark, Jermaine Jones, Jose Torres, Juan Agudelo, Jozy Altidore, Hercules Gomez, Teal Bunbury and Edson Buddle 15 years ago: Howard, Marvelle Wynn, Cory Gibbs, Gooch, Bocanegra, Clark, Edu, Mastroeni, DMB, Lee Nguyen, Brian Ching, Charlie Davies, Robbie Findley, Freddie Adu, Brian Ching and Eddie Johnson 20 years ago: Nick Rimando, Howard, Eddie Pope, Regis, Balboa, Robin Fraser, Bocanegra, Llamosa, Stewart, Mastroeni, Sanneh, Reyna, Cobi Jones, Brian West and Jeff Cunningham 25 years ago: Balboa, Fraser, Pope, Sanneh, Ramiro Corrales, Mark Chung, Ramos, Reyna, Jones, Martin Vasquez, Dante Washington. Less players also got called up in the 90s and early 00s (around 40-45 a year compared to around 60 now). As previously noted, the diversity of the squad has increased as the USMNT and U.S. soccer has evolved from a predominantly white sport consisting of former college soccer players to a multiracial professional one, but to claim that the USMNT used to consist of 95% white dudes misrepresents the history of the USMNT and ignores and erases the contributions of dozens of minority players who have played for the USMNT for decades. Tons of people now in their 30s, 40s and 50s in the Midwest learned to love the game of soccer watching the Crew's African-American forward line of Edson Buddle, Brian West, Jeff Cunningham and Dante Washington in old (then new) Crew Stadium win the Crew its first major trophy (2002 Open Cup). Derka has no idea and doesn't give a fuck that these guys existed or inspired tons of kids in the Midwest of all races to play/love soccer. Believe me, these dudes (who are all now in their 40s) would slap the donut out of Derka's gaping maw if he cavalierly denied their existence/influence/achievements in their presence. It pisses me off that incredible US soccer history like the early 2000s Crew forward lineup is ignored/forgotten so that a bunch of poseur ignoramuses can pretend that their current experience is more groundbreaking than it actually is. I will now move on.
