  1. Ahhh.. so its more who wants to join the Pac than who the Pac wants to join. I'm on page now.
  2. Ehhhh... I know a few KSU and okie State fans and obviously there is one ISU poster here... I might agree they have delusional dreams, but unlike aggie and sand aggies I'm of the opinion that they largely accept their reality and know a lot of balls have to bounce their way to even make the CFP.
  3. Why do you feel Texas State is a better choice than UTSA or UNT for access to Texas. There maybe good reasons and I'll openly admit my ignorance if they exist. Purely logistically speaking San Antonio and Denton seem better for hosting visiting fans. Granted, Austin will be the location for hotels should fans travel. Importantly, both are aligned to bigger cities, DFW and SA. UTSA also has "University of Texas" in their name which brings a certain perceived value sports wise, justified or not.
  4. Does help clarify why ND signed a 12 year deal with Clemson, particularly given they already had 6 games on the schedule during that time frame. I think there is some aspects to ACC and perhaps at some point ND being forced to join a conference but that's all speculation. I do think losing USC played a part as, deserved or not(usually not), USC is usually ranked and considered a rival which helps both teams SOS. I just don't see the upside of dropping this game for either team and its not good for college football imo.
  5. Hahah, did you not notice in the last page Sam was discussed and that Vince, Colt, Major and Simms have been steady components of this thread. This is primarily a University of Texas forum and this is the Texas Football sub. Quinn is going to continue to be compared to how other Texas QBs performed in the NFL, how he performed compared to Manning and other aspects of former Texas QBs. If you want discussion content that is purely Quinn's performance while in the NFL at Miami with no historical Texas QB references, you might want to TRY Here
  6. Quinn may have had some help in those efforts. Quinn might also have greatly contributed to ending the run to a championship both those years.
  7. Yeah anyone trying to point out shades of grey between the haters and shades of grey opinions is just fucking idiotic.
  8. Well, shit, if I had known that there was an upper division Econ class called Indecisiveness I might have passed on Process Geomorphology.
  9. Sigh... that's not what I was referring too. You're right, I'm wrong. Everything I say is stupid or made up. I'm sorry for existing and send my regards.
  10. Lol I didnt say it was you and I was simply trying to point out the reason for the vitriol in this thread. You asked me to name names and I did. Then you said quote one, and I know youve seen the hero worship. So... trying to point out the vitriol in this thread has lead to yet more pointless debate. So my effort was a waste of time and I should know better... that's on me. Carry on!
  11. You asked me to name names. I did. Go back through the thread and read the posts, I'm not doing your homework for you. You've been here all along. Even if I did provide the receipts you would move the goal posts again.
  12. What's even stranger is you can do that same thing over the course of seasons and games. There are games where he looks like an aggie scrub one quarter and a Heisman trophy candidate the next. I think that bi-polar aspect contributes to the inability to see him as extraordinarily average over his tenure at Texas.
  13. The day its not okay to laugh at stupidity is the day that comedy is dead and the world can burn as far as I'm concerned.
  14. Lol you and I covered this ground before @Thatguywas the clear leader but there are plenty of others. But here we are again... How many "Quinn brought us back." Posts would you like me to find? If you're so tone def you only see 1 side of the anti/pro aspects... guess what... 😘
  15. Whats happened in this thread is there are essentially 3 schools of thought, and all of them are very common, particularly regarding the QB within Texas sports. You have one small group who's decided to largely hate on Quinn. You have one group that thinks Quinn is the sole reason we won every game and the ONLY reason Texas is is back contenting for championships. Then you have a third group that recognized what Quinn brought to Texas football regarding recruiting and visibility as well as his skills and contributions on the field. That same third group largely started to see the issues and flaws in Quinns game. However, anytime they supported Quinn or criticized Quinn group 1 or 2 went full regards on why those people were idiots. Some of this 3rd group even pointed out that not making a shift in 2024 when it was clear Quinn had dropped off, was not best for the long term vision. Sometimes those same people made sure it was clear, THAT choice, not to switch fell fully on the head coach Sark. However, just like in politics, the more rational, even keeled folks that saw flaws and good things in Quinn's play or that he was "painfully adequate" were always shouted down by outliers on one side or the other. Its continued with silly "In Quinn we trust and we love you Quinn" posts to "Why do people want to see Quinn fail in the NFL so badly". Those are the squeaky wheels that get the grease. The people in the middle, that want Quinn to succeed in the NFL but feel vindicated by the NFL agreement that he's painfully adequate and may well not succeed are overlooked or ignored. The people that both recognize his contributions and flaws while refusing to hero worship are flumoxed by the continuous binary views on either side. It's pretty much just like any politics discussion. The people on team 1 or 2 believe if you're not on THEIR team, you're on the other team. We aren't on either team. But I'm sure they will lob me and this post into one of them.
  16. Tripple A "Sound" baseball as well as MLS SC.. it's also been trying to get a MLB team. An NBA team is unlikely given Grizzlies in Memphis, imo.
  17. You took an upper division economics elective not being a major? Not judging, I did the same with geology but geology is for the cool kids not nerds like economics.
  18. Absolutely, John Wick meets Clark Griswold with Sharon Stone playing the evil bad "gal"... oh hell yes!
  19. Won't lie, that sort of offer and my intimate familiarity of SMU co-eds could have absolutely swayed my 17 y/o self to skip my time in Austin.
  20. It's football season right? First game is soon right??? The thirst is real!
  21. Got two cousins that graduated from West Texas State University. The renaming drove the male one to really start supporting the Longhorns. Well, the name change plus 2 of his cousins graduating from Texas, me and my sister.
  22. I assume by middle schoolers you mean average Surly poster. Smack aside for a second.. @DerexXD Cool stuff thanks for posting it!
  23. Cut in line, unabashedly and pretend that they don't understand when most speak better English than the average Maga voter.
