  1. He looks like Jamal Charles. Shifty swivel hips, quick acceleration, and enough top end speed to run away from everybody. Can't find anything on his track times.
  2. FIFY We haven't had a QB on campus that could throw consistently throw a deep ball since Colt McCoy. Certainly not Tyronne or Sam. Quinn can. That isn't reducing the playbook. Quinn's mechanics aren't textbook. But he made throws before he got hurt that 90% of QB's can only dream about. how about a qb who progresses and improves throughout the year? And which FRESHMAN QB, with an injury that affected his throwing motion, would that be? I'll hang up and listen. How exactly have we "stripped down the Playbook?" Show us.
  3. On the long pass down the sideline, Worthy had 20 yards to adjust to the ball and he didn't deviate from his line more than 1-2 feet. Whether that's vision or lack of effort, the result is the same, and you can't have the most consistent thing your go to receiver does is not finding and catching the ball. ... except for the part of pounding K. Robinson between the tackles. Per Quinn's midweek interview; Riley Dodge was going to spend Quinn's Sr. year on mechanics. He lost that year. He also said he spent that time with CJ Stroud on film study. While both are important, a year spent on mechanics would have been a much better use of his time. Their were a lot of reasons UW won and Texas lost, they made plays when they need to and we didn't. Defense played well overall, but couldn't get off the field. Offensive line looked like the swinging doors from the a wild west saloon. Cain played well, too bad he isn't as fast and graceful as the UW receivers. JT had 2 receptions where he could have easily got a first down, but tried to make a move and got tackled short. No Bijan/Roschon hurt. Duh!!! Did Jaydon Blue even play? 3rd and short killed us. With no reliable run game, poor play calling resulted in low percentage passes with low percentage results. Quinn played well. He did a much better job of throwing the ball away and not taking a sack. He missed a few passes, everyone does. His stat line was 31/47 (66%) for 369, 1 TD 0 Int. If Worthy could fucking catch, it should have been 33/46 (72%) for 469+, 2 TD, 0 Int. His effortless toss that Worthy dropped was 50+ yards. I like Sam, he is a Texas Hero, but he couldn't make that pass. To all of you Nancy's bellyaching about QE,
  4. Worthy needs some Clifford Franklin goo.
  5. Worthy you piece of shit. You’ve got one job.
  6. Defense is playing good enough. Offense SUCKS. Robinson has no business running between the tackles. 3 god damn points?
  7. ME 202 - Intro to Engineering in '74. Dr. Schmidt gave a slide rule test and everyone had to pass before we moved on. He said every engineer before us knew how to use one and that wasn't going to stop on his watch. Still have it.

  10. My ticket montage was a backdrop I made for a flyer for my sons HS Talent Show. Here are the other tickets I have. (The montage photo's are the little pile to the right) I also saw Chuck Berry. Pls notice Row AAA, front row. He stepped on my right hand. ("Are you in show business? Well, then, why don't you get your friggin' feet off the stage?" - Lili Von Shtupp) One of my most prized possessions. I did not go to the Texas Pop Festival (I was 13). I did see ~ 3/4 of the band that played. I never saw Hendrix or John Lennon, but saw most of the Real Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame. I have many fond memories of the bands I saw, and/or remember seeing. Being a freshman w/ Earl and living in Jester East and watching Texas Football are my favorite memories.
  11. Thank you. I know more than I did when I woke up.
  12. Music and Austin are synonymous. Always has been, always will be. Nothing like growing up in Austin in the 60's & going to UT in the 70's. The Music, and the puurrty girls used to ooze out of the cracks in the ground. Ok guys, do better. It was the Austin Opry House, not Opera. Austin used to have the Coliseum (fight nights, some concerts) and the Municipal Auditorium, where I saw my first concert, Led Zeppelin in 1969. I still remember them playing Dazed & Confused as we migrated from the balcony to the lower floor. Music and Austin are synonymous. Always has been, always will be. Nothing like growing up in the 60's & going to UT in the 70's. Music, and the puurrty girls use to ooze out of the cracks in the ground. The Armadillo (KLBJ night for 93 ¢) & Mother Earth were my go to clubs, and too many other venues to mention; a few bucks to see a young SRV @ Soap Creek Saloon or the Rome Inn, Marica Ball & Nancy Griffith @ the Backroom, the Skunks and the Huns @ Raul's, ZZ Top's Rompin' Stompin' Barn Dance & BBQ @ DKR, The Broken Spoke & Silver Dollar for some country (converted me from Levi's to Wranglers), 15¢ beer on Wednesdays @ the Bucket in Tri-Towers) and yes, even some Disco at the Green House and the White Rabbit. We also drove to San Antonio, Houston & Dallas for the occasional concert as needed. Fun times. I'm still above ground, I graduated, and my GPA is NOYB. A few of my bona fides ... I did go the the Dixie Chicken once ~ '76, where we schooled some aggies on playing Foosball while we discussed Earl Campbell >> George Woodard. Umn no, there was no live entertainment in CS.
  13. So (i) is Dallas a suburb of Ft. Worth, or (ii) is Ft. Worth a suburb of Dallas, or (iii) neither? I don’t think anybody in Boulder thinks affordable housing.is a problem. There is none, by design. They used to “control/limit” population growth ~ 1%/yr. I imagine it is less than that now. They never wanted growth. Buying a bungalow on a decent size lot, tearing it down, and building a McMansion doesn’t happen. Boulder hasn’t had a middle class in ~ 40-50 years. Rich people and students, most of which are trust fund babies. The people I knew who owned property in Boulder also owned a winery in Napa. The young girl who asked me for spare change in 1993 had braces and diamond earrings. Colorado is nothing but an outdoor option. I was born in Austin, and lived on a beach across the bay from Destin, Florida in the early 60’s, and have seen what going from a picturesque, pristine paradise to a people populated poop pot looks like. Boulder is unique.
  14. I’m going to give that a big NO. “The People’s Republic of Boulder” is not a suburb, Boulder made a decision ~ 50 years ago to create a buffer so they would never become anything like a suburb of Denver. Along the Boulder Turnpike and the Front Range, the City of Boulder has bought enough land over time to create ~ 5 mile buffer between Boulder and the inevitable growth coming from Denver. Other than being in Colorado, Boulder has little in common w/ Denver and the it’s suburbs. It’s so sad to see the foresight Boulder planners had compared to the development cluster fuck that has consumed Austin. I’ve never been to Allen, but I imagine it is similar to the countless well to do suburbs that border most major cities in America. Having lived on the edge of the buffer in Boulder County, please don’t put the City of Boulder in the same sentence as some Texas suburb, to avoid anyone thinking there might be any similarity between the two.
  15. Repost from Jjdoc on SEC Rant...
  16. RIP Mike Leach. A national treasure gone too soon.
  17. The Anschutz family has been in oil & gas and real estate since the 1900's. Philip Anschutz bought out his father in the 60's, and invested in stocks, railroads and real estate, including 9,000,000 acres along the Utah-Wyoming border. Amoco discovered oil on the Anschutz Ranch in the late 70's, which eventually became a billion-barrel+, with a "B", oil pocket, the largest oil field discovery in the United States since Prudhoe Bay in 1968. His railroad interests included downtown real estate and warehouses in Denver, and other midwestern cities that became very lucrative in the downtown revitalizations in the early 90's. He used his railroad right-of-ways to lay fiber optic cables across the country (Quest Communications). Anschutz has two private cars at the end of the Ski Train from Denver to Winter Park. Phil was one of those guys who made "fuck you" money everywhere he looked. Anschutz and the string of heirs have many ties to Colorado, Denver, and CU. The CU student population has been full of trust fund babies for many years and while that wealth may or may not manifest in the university endowment, it is there. We lived outside of Boulder from '93-97. Bronco's and Buffs winning = Exceptional football atmosphere. I like Deion. He will do well if he listens to the football people around him. And Ralphie is in the top tier of football mascots.
  18. Austin Venues Armadillo World Headquarters, (used to sell more beer than the Astrodome) Original Schlotzsky's
  19. When visiting San Antonio, Gerald Ford thought he would be go local and eat a tamale w/ his hands. Nobody told him to remove the husk first. Among the many things that cost him the election.
  20. Rylanders (grocery) Minimax (grocery) Nickerson Farms (hiway food) Ritters (gas stations) Saigon eggrolls (food cart on the drag) Schlitz Screaming Yellow Zonkers (Glazed popcorn)
