  1. We got to the CFP last year because of great defense, really good WR, TE and RB play, good QB play and good OL. This year we potentially have a better defense than last years great one. A defense that was among the best ever, and yes it really could be better this year. Or WRs look to be of equal caliber, RB returns the most productive player and adds massive depth. OL and TE are a bit of a question mark. We play a QB that is clearly capable of equivalent level to last years with a much higher upside potential. It's really hard to argue against this team and happily we don't have to wait long to see if it is an NC caliber team or not. For my part, I think we beat OSU in a very low scoring afair. I suspect we lose an SEC game or 2 we don't see coming. Florida and Kentucky stick out to me. Then we hit stride and hammer the rest of the schedule. But I'm an optimist and have a room booked in Miami so...
  2. Go ahead and show the receipts on this hot take. Show me one, any, RB selected early in the draft that played zero downs in a season, killed at combine and was drafted in the first 2 rounds. Any, ever. Maybe there is one, but I sure as shit don't remember them.
  3. I do care where guys get drafted as the higher and more of them the better for Texas football and Texas athletics. I am not a draft guru, I was simply pointing out some logic flaws in a user's post regarding Baxter. I don't know how CJ will perform this year, but hope it is really well as he seems like a good human/team guy and it's good for Texas. I don't know if he will enter the draft. If he does I don't know where he will be drafted. If he does go into the draft, I hope he is selected in an early round. If he is selected in a higher round, I'm willing to wager he had an amazing year at Texas. Which... as I said in my first post on the topic.... is good with me.
  4. We should debate it more!! Twat... that escalated quickly. You said: I submit that the Super Bowl is actually football.. it's a hot take and controversial I know. I'm of the position, and a lot of people agree, that the Super Bowl is, in fact, football. As such, there IS football in February. So it's not THE worst month for football, as there is football played in February despite what some might have you believe. I would argue not having ANY actual college football nor real NFL GAMES since February makes August the time of greatest thirst for college football fans. I do so, with silliness and in fun, to make sure it's taken as I intend. The worst month of sports is really important. I'm glad we're digging in, you twat.
  5. This had me laughing, not because I disagree, but because it's so aggie. Reed is better than typical aggie QB. He's a threat when running, but shouldn't cause he's tiny and will break easily. However, he can't throw for shit either. To further the aggie reality, I think they will run him a lot BECAUSE he throws like shit. This will likely result in injury sidelining him by... Wait for it... October
  6. I was being hyperbolic with Heisman, but RB2 in a committee offense who has huge historical injury issues and has never produced big numbers consistently isn't a likely draft pick in early rounds without a pretty amazing single year performance.
  7. I absolutely love that Surly turns my silly post about the thirst in August into a fucking debate. A debate about when is the worst time for college football fans. In the 2025 fall camp thread, 2 weeks before games start.
  8. Super Bowl isn't football? Learn something new every day. They also play NBA games in addition to the all-star game. Australian Open a grand slam tennis event.
  9. Super Bowl month? NBA All Star game (if you like that) Daytona 500 This is a bad take.
  10. We are 2 weeks from season kick. Recruiting news dropped off a few weeks ago. There is soccer, NFL preseason and baseball available as sport watching options. This is the time of deep unbridled thirst, and panty twists over any conceivable issue on the roster hits it apex. It's absolutely the worst time for college football forums. And the best of times.
  11. I opted for simple logic.
  12. Wisner I could but, but Baxter doesn't have a full season under his belt. I can't see the NFL investment in CJ unless he had a Heisman level season. However, we know it will be a RB committee given how Sark runs things.. so.. I think the odds if CJ going pro after this year are extremely thin. If he did, it means he did some wild shit on the field and I'm perfectly fine with it in that case.
  13. Well, it ended up with him taking his own life in prison. Feel like that falls into the "reap what you sow" area of karma and life.
  14. Dude, Eye Squid and Vampire Caterpillar were both fucked up. I didn't put it in my last post but the variety of creepy monster potential beyond Alien is extremely promising.
  15. This show fucks! They have children without children actors that has a lot of ways it can go, terrible to cool. The different types of humans, corporate battles and all around skull fuckery with legit gore and hard action makes this a show for me. Love it!
  16. Quick bump. Charlie's reached out, they open at 11 and are holding space for 20 people with no expectations. Since they've been super responsive and I dig dive bars I'm probably going to head there to watch early game action then make a call on Bear and Butcher. I'll keep my table for 10 at Bear and Butcher so with @TxEx84 12 party table we can do 22 people. We can head to Charlie's or wherever after lunch. Charlie Brown's and Bear and Butcher are literally across the street from one another. So, unless we decide to do tailgate action seems like we have a relaxed show up, don't show up tenative plan for whoever wants to join.
  17. This! While there are certainly some Texas haters in the media, in broad strokes the media loves Texas mostly because of a huge fan base that engages/reads/reposts their content. Also, because Texas is a big brand and that itself draws a similarly huge hater response group. The same can be said for all the helmet schools, and a few upstarts as well as also rans. So writing about Texas or an Ohio State, Bama, Michigan is going to get clicks, shares and engagement whether that content is positive or rage bate.
  18. Science!!!! Play hard and win all your games is how... You win games and championships! Who knew?
  19. Well, in pure speculation I think all this combined @Wulaw Horn point plus 5 other items potentially play into this never ending narrative. First, aggie has hired HCs that for various reasons get the attention of media. Next, they are always, constantly spewing propaganda about how much money they have and this appears to be supported by some of the coaching hires. Reporters mostly suck today and they aren't digging into the aggie budget. Also, they do actually have some money just none they can spend elsewhere due to the coaching choices. Third, they rarely dip into a losing record. They are know for 8-4 for a reason. A big part of it is 3 of their 4 OOC are nobodies at their stadium, but again this takes looking at the receipts and sports Reporters are lazy. Fourth, Texas is a football state, and I firmly believe writers will generate a rivalry/heel for plot when one may or may not exist in a competitive aspect. Perhaps a similar reality is true for Miami in football for Florida. Finally, reporting sucks for the most part these days. If it isn't sponsored by someone, it's written to generate rage. Hate sells, it sells really well. So does envy. Social media influencers make billions off showing their great looks and "amazing life" and/or telling everyone why their lives suck.
  20. Sigh.. I lived a big portion of my life in short walking distance to Dirty's, Magic Wok, Grande Mart, Showdown, and Taco Shack. (And the rub and tug joint until it go shut down, not that I ever went in there) We don't know how good we have it when we are in the middle of it.
  21. Hate to question your sage logic there, but really, like Bama before them, aggie more lives vicariously THROUGH Georgia rather than fictionally beating them. It would end in a magical moral victory if they did play them though.
  22. Dude Billy ain't no ladies man either and at least Graham ain't sportin' the chin beard.
  23. It's know to end careers by October in 9 out of 10 aggie QBs.
  24. When is aggie gonna get my boy Graham on the god damn gravy train. He's more than towing the line and uses big words to sound smart.
  25. Well Josh, lets pull of the receipts shall we... So... you lost to all but 1 ranked team you played and dropped 4 out of 5 to end the season if we include the loss to 9th place B1G team USC who needed the W to break 500 on the season. The soul victory being New Mexico State at home. And Josh before you start waving your Tiger flag around end of season is how you measure a team. A champion is measure on how they finish. You wanna call 8-5 winning, well shit Josh, I gotta bullshit. That said, I absolutely support your propaganda regarding the upcoming season. Get them on the roller-coaster!
