  1. It don't make a fuck. It will be nice to be in a legit conference, but then again, I think we had that in old big 12. Big 10 would have been nice with the fall weather but would have sucked for the winter. Some cool venues in AnnArbor, Madison, Minneapolis, Chicago but some real hell holes in Columbus, East Lansing, and State College. In SEC Vandy and Knoxville are cool but everything else is just the south. Although one could argue almost anyplace would be better than Austin in September. Whatever. It's a conference and we will be in it and put more into it than we take out. We will teach some things and learn some things. Notre Dame, BYU, and Randolph Field are not in it, so I think we will do just fine.
  2. One thing I think we can all agree on is that the Electric Boogaloo was solely responsible for the victory. Harumph!!!
  3. Very similar in that regard to last year's game. I posted that last year there were 3 plays, one each phase of the game, that were set up, 95% executed, and requiring only the most basic follow through in the final 5%, to bring the play to it's logical and almost inevitable conclusion for the good guys, that were not made, and any one of which would have likely resulted in victory. I think there were more plays like that this year. The only difference is that there was more margin for error, given the overall increase in talent level, competence in the more mundane aspects of the game, and the full use of our starting qb There was also the absence of truly horrible officiating. Last year, this game and the Rice game still show that Texas still has work to do to put forth a truly exceptional mistake free game. As happy as we all are, we were a missed lineman downfield call and an astute fumble recovery away from a nail biter or possible defeat. In other words, make those plays, and you don't need to rely on the ref to catch a penalty or the ball bouncing your way, because those things don’t always work out in your favor.
  4. I heard this scence was edited out of The Empire Strikes Back.
  5. I want it to be an emotional let down like we had against Missouri in 2008 after the OU game.
  6. Prepare to be shafted by refs and others in Big 12. I was watching the score scroll on Fox during the end of the Tech Oregon game and Texas and Ou did not appear under the Big 12 subheading scores. Texas and OU scores would only appear in SEC (because Alabama), CFB catch all, or in whatever the fuck conference SMU plays in.
  7. Same add agency that city of Cleveland used: "We're not Detroit !!!"
  8. Not seeing the issue here, unless it's your poor memory.
  9. Bunch a upside down Oregon flags at Tech this week too.
  10. I was trying to keep it simple. Also, I would say the other two calls were much worse and more obvious and occurred at the ball...calls that have to be made. Refs miss holding all the time. Also, I think this hold would have been irrelevant had Young been tackled on the blitz that he wriggled out of...I think.
  11. Definitely a team loss. All three phases of the game were coached and put in a position to win and could have probably done so had any one of the team units executed on just one more play. Not each, just one play amongst them. Throw in the two obvious blown calls (safety and k Robinson faskmask) and refs got in on the action too. Sark's failure to call a to before the chip shot miss just before half also pics up the coaching blame as well without considering any other more subtle errors. All in all there were 5 plays that were a combination of easy ref calls that were not made or simply completing a perfectly set up play to it's seemingly routine and inevitable conclusion that resulted in a net point differential of 15 points. Bama had theirs too, but they were more of the garden variety where the poor execution had more than one factor involved and Texas had enough of those too, to balance that out. When Bama had the perfect opportunities, they executed and that was the difference, Ref fuckery aside.
  12. From Oak Hill, sipping coffee and construction dust.... FIGHT!!!!! OR TEXAS!!!!
  13. Nobody talks about cutting your hair when it's awesome.
  14. Imagine what it will be like with a full 5 working days or after a loss (ducks).
  15. I posted up my Wally Pryor CSB on the Bill Little thread a couple of weeks ago, but I just thought of another Wally gem that has not been mentioned. Fall of 1988 early November game against U of H fighting run and shoot cougars. Houston was blowing our doors off and the final score was something like U H 66 Texas 13. Late in the game the crowd was mostly gone and Houston had just scored another touchdown on our hapless D. Houston trots out for the PAT...and Wall's words: " ..and it's.....bueno"
  16. Soon to be "city approved watering hour."
  17. 96 is a pipe dream. 85 is unicorns and pixie dust.
  18. Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm at the office working on 2022 corporate tax stuff...and I'm a concrete contractor. My admin keeps forgetting to put batteries in the thermostat, so when I got here it was 85 on the office. There is enough juice on the batteries to manually set the temp, but it always defaults back to 85. I spent the first hour here setting up a fan, reading Surly, and drinking beer from the office fridge. Just too hot to concentrate on tax stuff. Just wrapping up now and business partner is heading over for a cold one. I should jack up the temperature and pretend I was toughing it out in the heat, but the empties might lessen the effect. Did get a nice bike ride in this morning tho. Worked yesterday too. Not sure what you need a firewood rack for. It's never going to be cold again anyway. But you do you.
  19. Seeing a few sub 100 days in Austin starting a week from tomorrow. No rain. That's all I got. Hopefully that forecast holds and we won't get 105+ on those days as is often the case.
  20. Jesus!!!
  21. We just Bleu ourselves.
  22. ...and poor execution on that bone headed play.
  23. Hard to see how, it happens in every sport in every game.
  24. Sark getting his white threads in before Labor Day.
