  1. I was stoked when Banks made the Freshman All-American Team. The next year, so did Bison-tits. Then I realized that most OL redshirt their first year for S&C development. Superstars start as freshmen, and the other guys are freshmen who go to teams with desperate O-lines. Two guys who on paper are similar, when in reality they are opposite ends of the spectrum. Tony Dorsett, Earl Campbell, and Billy Sims. The golden age of patience, acceleration and speed. Guys are born with those attributes. Or not. Either way, you can't really teach them. You can learn to be patient, but if your default instinct is to hit the hole, you end up with guys that are flat footed in the backfield. If you know you have acceleration and breakaway speed, it's easy to be patient. As the OL gets better, the need for patience is diminished.
  2. Straight Sunco 105 Cookin’ with Natural gas, not motor gasoline. That would be extraordinarily bad, like crossing the streams.
  3. He was listed as a LB. DT was heavy SEC. I chose my data carefully.
  4. No. The SEC has more total NFL Talent, and better and more talented teams, but they also have their share of bad teams, bad players and bad coaches. Auburn had 3 games in a row where they passed for less than 100 yards, A&M had games where the QB was pressured half the time, and Arkansas & Vanderbilt had 1 conference win between them. Couple that with an 8 game schedule that includes teams playing each other once every 12 years, and the results are skewed towards the SEC. In 2008, the B12 had 8 QB that played in the NFL, including all 6 from the B12 South (Colt, Bradford, Harrell, Griffin, Tannehill & Weeden). The B12 was the better league, they just didn't win the last game. In 2022, Kelvin Banks went against 3 NFL 1st Round DE from the B12 (Tyree Wilson @ Tech, Will McDonald @ ISU, & Felix Anudike-Uzomah @KSU). There were 5 total (Iowa & Clemson), none from the SEC. SEC better, yes, top to bottom since forever, no way.
  5. That is why they just built a 160 yard practice facility. 2-D Checkers.
  6. Way back when, a friend from up north asked me, "Do you know the difference between the Texas girls and other girls? The other girls say, 'you can', and the Texas girls say, 'y'all can'. " FIFY The migration of the Texas deer hunter along I-10 west of Katy is a sight similar to the migration of the wildebeest, the Canadian goose and the monarch butterfly. The steed of choice would be the 4 wheel drive diesel, 'cause in a pinch, that is the only thing that will do. Sometimes, you need 2 trucks to pull the first one out. Don't ask how I know that.
  7. This under the radar announcement is the equivalent of flipping the switch on the Death Star. Complete alignment from Steve Sarkisian to Chris Del Conte to Jay Hartzell to Kevin Eltife; from the Head Football Coach to the Athletic Director to the President of the University to the Chairman of the Board of The University of Texas System (256,000 students, $29 Billion operating budget, $43 Billion Endowment). Yes, Texas Football is important. Gone are the days of the fiefdoms and personal agenda's and pissing matches and ignorance of the various factions that advocate their "support" of UT athletics. (Please note the "7 win Steve" dip shits with the patience of a gnat are not in the chain of command.) "...great to know we’re officially set for the future, but we’re going to need more gas…🤘" "going to need more gas?" >>> Whatever happened before today, ... is not enough. How long will it take? I'm reminded of my talk with a pipeline contractor in the 80's. "How long will it take to lay the pipeline?" Pausing, as he looks towards the horizon, "Give me a 4 joint head start, and turn on the gas!"
  8. If everybody you meet is an asshole, you’re the asshole.
  9. I like me some Babers. My favorite analyst. "Go 'Stros!!!" He did it, at Texas and the NFL. Card carrying member of DBU, practiced and played w/ Michael Huff, Nathan Vasher, Quentin Jammer, etc. He earned the right to offer his opinion a long time ago. He talked about the talent and competition when he played here; he wasn't the biggest, fastest, strongest, nothing-est. If he played, it was because he worked the hard-est, on and off the field. He's a film study, numbers kinda guy. He is adamant about pressing and covering receivers; If you can, you do, if you can't, you don't. He knew the weakness on this team a long time ago. I imagine Rod is pretty stoked right now, with the DB recruiting/transfer haul and w/ his mentor coming back to influence all who will listen.
  10. Volcano Erupts in Iceland Near Grindavik
  11. It was easier then, he only had 7 numbers.
  12. I think you were trying to make a point, but don’t besmirch Highland Park/ The University of Texas coed Jayne Mansfield in the process. Sophia seemed to find a couple of things about Jayne that were top tier.
  13. Did you here Michael Strahan (I'm a big fan of his, nothing but luv!) refer to the NY Giant QB as Danny Devito, not Tommy Devito, on the pre game show. Great spontaneous outburst of laughter.
  14. Did he quit coloring his chin pubes or has he aged 10 years is 6 months? He looks broken.
  15. Just a one time use. You'll never see them from me again!
  16. It was a back shoulder throw to Rome Odunze. The incidental contact affected his footwork to the point he could not turn and jump for the ball, and it sailed over his head out of bounds. Great play by the DB. I was going to say fucking Penix hit every throw against Texas, which is kinda true. The reality is his receivers ran down the field untouched and went wherever they wanted, with our guys waiting for them to catch the ball before they tackled them. Babers talked about this months ago; if you have guys that can play press coverage, you do. If you don't, you don't. Both teams had good DB play, a lot of good open field tackles. Can't blame W's DB's when the RB's run untouched for 40 yards. Michigan had some imaginative play calling, lot of pre snap motion, pulling linemen, isolating fast guys in space. McCarthy's 4th quarter runs changed the game. They have a good team across the board and were well coached. Deserving Champions.
  17. Back in the day, in ME 202, Introduction to Mechanical Engineering, we were given the task of building an "Aggie Cooler", a device to cool off over heated Aggies (the Association of Generally Gross Incompetent Egotists). It was well known when 2 or more Aggies got together, they would work themselves into a heated frenzy when talking about TSIPs (the Texas Society of Intellectual People). The Aggie Cooler was required to launch a water balloon from a safe distance (30 meters) to cool down the overheated Aggies. Please know that in your own way, you Surly Horn posters are continuing one of the most sacred of Longhorn traditions.
