  1. I dunno man, Raiders took JaMarcus Russell as the #1 pick and there weren't any other QBs in the top 20, though there were 2 Longhorns at 19 and 20. May have been an out of the frying pan sort of situation. But it was a shitty year for QBs. Cowboys took Isaiah Stanback from Washington in the 4th. Don't remember him? Yeah, neither do I.
  2. What I personally hope for, which will absolutely dial this thread to 11, is Arch winning a National Championship.
  3. Thought it was more Jay-dun which is pretty close to Jay-din with an emphasis on Jay instead of din/dun. Its critical we get this right.
  4. Aggie doesn't lose, just runs out of time. Cult propaganda out front should have told ya. Also I know you and @notre dame joe are both petrified of the onslaught coming for you in South Bend. TD Jesus can't save you!!! - an old army idgit definitely
  5. Well man, I'm glad you said it first but it needed to be said that 100% of Texas failures since 2005 have absolutely been on the shoulders of VY. You see VY simply set way too high a bar for Texas athletics and in particular the QB position. Had VY not performed to the level he did, Colt getting us to the national championship would have sufficed. Ewers making the playoffs twice would have made us happy. If VY had just dialed back his abilities, stuck to the GDGD script, played afraid like his HC told him and not gone out and beat every team, this thread would be nothing but compliments of Ewers. Now look at us. We all want to compete for and win the NC every damn year. Thanks a lot VY. I know this will be an unpopular take and I commend you for being the first to bring it up.
  6. Nope. Knew a bit of the broad story line but never read them. Why?
  7. I joined late but so far, I've enjoyed season 3 the most. Probably cause there isn't a lot of Gaal and it feels like it's moving more plot lines much faster. Unlike many here I liked Salvor but it was probably just because she was a foil to Gaal. However, the Gaal Salvor line was a god damn beating.
  8. Aggie doesn't top this list. I'm gonna have to see these receipts cause....
  9. Clearly tu rigged the playoffs to play these teams the year after when they knew the teams would be down. Padding the schedule to appear better than it really is. Look it up!
  10. I don't know why anyone posts in this thread I'm currently posting in!!! This thread should die! This tactic is as dumb as believing rage responding to social media rage influencers does anything other than support and promote said rage influencer.
  11. I really do think it will end up being on a list of worst movies ever made. As @Buzzrock said, it won't fall into the so bad it's good world either. No gratuitous T&A, not shoe string budget, no gore for gore sake, no goofy acting and no quirky editing. Shit script, shit CGI, shit acting, shit directing and shit plot.
  12. Trev Alberts clearly conspired with "Snakey" to drop bags to CDC and pressure Sark to play Quinn. Facts!!!
  13. You do know there are posts on a lot of different Longhorn NFL players and how they are doing in the preseason camps. It's not really surprising that were are discussing a Texas QB drafted THIS year facing his first NFL camp. But hey, I find discussing Facebook posts weird and thats a pretty popular thread too.
  14. You're suprised that people are still talking about one of the 3 highest rated QBs ever to come to Texas and who also took us to 2 CFPs. Breaking news, we still talk about VY.
  15. Given the health issues in the Miami QB room, I think Quinn was a reasonable late round draft gamble for them. To use a poker analogy, holding 7s and 8s pre-flop and calling a pot odds bet is a solid poker. It has a lot of ways to lose but it's a gamble worth taking particularly if you are already short stacked in a tournament game.
  16. And am I the only one who recalls the substantial drop in quality of life in the last year of college vs first year of professional life.
  17. Fair point. However, he also opted to move from Miami to Norman so both this "logic" and gambling habits can easily be called into question.
  18. ...and did so with one of the best defenses we've ever had at Texas.
  19. I am shocked!!! This is shocking news. If you told me I was gonna be making a boat load of money to stay another year at UT and a huge job would wait while I had my pick of 11s at Texas.... well, guess what my choice would be.
  20. It's not news to anyone that I lost faith in Quinn after the Washington game. I got on the anti-Quinn train during OU in 2024. I started questioning Sark for his decision a lot after Georgia 1 which was when I strongly believe the switch should have and could have been made. It would have bettered the future of Texas football and I wrote that here at the time. I wasn't alone but there was absolutely a mob mentality here against anyone questioning Quinn. Derka took a lot of shit as he arrived there early. Now that he's shown his receipts and expressed his frustrations I really hope he will move on. I don't expect Quinn to be successful in the NFL but I'm absolutely HOPING he is, even if it gives ammunition to the Quinn lovers. Hell, I hoped they were right when he was here, and I too can pull receipts. Mostly, I hope(d) for both despite my skeptical views on Quinn because ultimately both were good for the University of Texas football program. At the end of the day, that's way more important to me than being correct about my assessment of an individual player. Also, Quinn can't start nor play for Texas anymore.
  21. Yeah, either he's fucked for gambling and was stupid about or far more likely wrote something stupid to friends in a venmo payment. There is a common denominator in that sentence and either way it is causing friction on the Sooner roster. I support it! As for Arch, yeah, a individual millionaire from a rich family who is the most talked about player in college football and probably has a lucrative NFL career on his horizon isn't thirsty and struggling to find a hook up with 11s.
  22. I absolutely agree but the bigger point is really any tie in from the $140m decrease in operating budget of $9.7m basically tieing it to the loss of 30 people in their athletics department (in addition to 330 others). Stanford fields 36 teams 20 in women's sport and 16 in men's. They just hired in AD that was making $60m at his last job, and Shaw was making about $6M per year so a safe guess is Troy $2-4m range. So lets do a comparison to Vanderbilt as they are on a similar plane on academics, atheletics success (Baseball good, football meh) budget and student enrollment. Stanford enrollment: Est 17,000 Vandy Enrollement: 13575 Stanford + Stanford Health Operating Budget: $10.4 billion Vandy + VUMC Operating Budget: $8.9 billion Stanford Avergage Attendance Per Game 2024 26,035 Vandy Average Attendance Per Game 2024 28,091 Stanford Athletic teams: 36 Total 20 women, 16 mens Vandy Athletics teams: 17 total 11 womens, 6 mens For the record, VUMC is cutting $300m budget cut and laying of 650 which I personally actually find extremely concerning. Main point is Stanford isn't the only ones seeing big budget cuts. TLDR: Politics isn't the main reason 30 athletic jobs were cut at Stanford.
  23. Nah, you can have either. I'll stick with 1994 or 1999. Lots more I enjoy re-watching. And Blade Runner is better than either anyway. That's the fact, Jack!
