  1. Not only that, I think he was wrong. The longer that game went on, the more it played into Alabama's advantages of being deeper and having a healthy qb.
  2. As soon as I saw Campbell, I thought the same thing. This game actually flowed pretty well, but usually his crew just muddies the waters so bad the games are not even worth watching. It's almost like they go out of their way to find penalties that aren't really there or that don't affect the play and then just ignore the important stuff that is right in front of them. Still pissed about the Robinson face mask. You just have to call that.

    One Wheel

    I have a friend who is 56 and he has been ridding his for years. He has some old man stuff going on with a hip replacement, former back surgery, and ACL surgery last year. Not of that from the one wheel, so it can be done. My middle son got one two Xmas's ago and he hardly ever uses it anymore. Like everybody else's teenager, he mastered it in about 4 hours...taking it down stairs, 4' drops, ramp jumps etc. Little fuckers. My son promised me some lessons and I would like to learn how to ride it in a easy going manner just to keep some of the small balance muscles tuned up for other things etc. I can never seem to be rid of little nagging injuries though.
  4. Well played.
  5. ...almost as if he had been properly prepared for just such and event...go figure.
  6. Yeah, it was kind of a bad hire for the Big 12 with Sherman being and NFL guy. But he figured it out and just got pretty unlucky his last year, also in a pretty tough Big 12.
  7. I always thought they should have kept Sherman. I'm not sure they would have had the JFF Heisman year, but I think the lows would have been much higher. He had a rough few years in the big 12 south, but recruited well coming out of the Franchione debacle, especially o line, and had them set up physically to compete in the SEC West meat grinder and finally adjusted to the college game. He was their most solid coaching hire in my lifetime. No crazy baggage, no bad habits, no drama etc. Whatever, aggy would have figured out a way to screw that up too. Its not like Texas has been stellar with coaching hires/retains in the last dozen years, but at least Texas recognized the error its ways and made changes.
  8. One thing that has been said about the play of Alabama from national media was that they were usually mistake prone and that Texas got lucky in many respects, but especially with the drops by the Bama receivers. While it is true that that there were about 3 drops drops by the receivers of Bama, I think Texas had just as many between a couple from Jordan, one by Worthy, not to mention the wiff tackle on the last Bama drive or failure of Sark to call time out and reset things for the end of half field goal or the int drop bay Jamison. I think the timing of all of these drops/plays was critical and all could have reasonably resulted in gain or loss of points if not directly and I think Texas had more of those than Alabama. While Alabama also had more penalties, I can not think of a single one where I thought the call was questionable. Even the Bama blindside hit penalty was previously offset by an even less aggregeous blindside Texas block. Likewise, I think all penalties called on Texas had merit. In fact, I think the only truly stupid penalties that were mental errors by Bama were the above block and the flagged hit after the play on the TE. All the others had a forced error aspect (off sides) or a a definite purpose such as intentional injury or play mitigation. Alabama knew what they were doing and it was intentional and purposeful. It was not an undisciplined team early in the season out of its element or a team caught off guard by non SEC officials. I can only recall one penalty that could have been called on Texas (that wasn't) and I didn't see it, but Klatt mentioned some possible defensive holding over the middle of the field on a a play in the first half. Counter that with: 1. Of course, I think the non safety call was nonsense, but that has been discussed to death. 2. The missed face mask call on Robinson, I found to be the equally bad. I would have preferred that the Bama player not done it at all. If that happens, I think Robinson gets at least two more yds and possibly the first down. The fact that the face mask was instrumental in reducing the yardage on the play has not really been discussed much. That is a call that must be made, not only because it is a penalty but because it had a huge bearing on the play and the rest of the game. Additionally, the non call messed up what could have been an epic Texas victory or an even more epic Bama comeback. 3. PI in the endzone non call. I'm going to call offensive holding a wash, since I don't thin a single one was called on either team the whole game. In the end I think the narrative should be that Alabama was lucky that Texas committed more unforced errors, got a huge advantage (at least 3 to 1)in critical obvious non calls, and of course altered the game on a dirty purposeful hit on our starting qb....again.
  9. I'll have what he's having.
  10. I bet they could.
  11. Does aggy get to claim all of Michigan's titles because of this?
  12. Aggy making it hard to drink responsibly.
  13. Dangerous to themselves.
  14. Those were obvious calls. If refs call the other obvious calls, Texas
  15. It's Friday already? Shit. More cash out for payroll. Fight..I guess.
  16. ...and since "it's " undefeated, we are not really even all that confident, to tell you the truth.
  17. Wanting Trump alive for a painful death is like routing for OU to win because it might help Texas...don't do it...nothing good will come of it. I can't believe I need to even bring this up on this board.
  18. From southeast Austin, TX. TEXAS!!!! or FIGHT!!!! whichever one we're on.
  19. Feats all the more impressive given that he is fighting through painfull bone spurs, a condition so debilitating and limiting that it disqualified him from volunteering for mitary combat service in Vietnam, which he totally wanted o do to serve his country and not use as a bullshit reason for avoiding the draft like a less patriotic person would do.
  20. Mississippi trying to out Florida Texas.
  21. These two are on hold for at least a year.
  22. Are these sections integral (ie monolithic) with the house slab, or are they just flat work poured after the fact?
  23. Looks like somebody is a regular Conrad Dobler...or perhaps Cornrad Dobler.
  24. ...and stampeding cattle...thorough the Vatican.
