  1. Well, I think there is a balance between winning awards and actual team contributions. If not, do we throw out VY for not winning a Heisman? Of course we don't. Thus I think the Thorpe qualification is a bit of a stretch. I would say, to their teams, Vasher and Barron were arguably more valuable than Huff and Ross. As for College HOF that's an important measure, sure, but does that mean Vasher or Ross is off. Obviously, there is a lot of subjectivity in both picking the players you think should be there as well as who wins awards. Just because a player didn't win a Thorpe, doesn't mean they weren't the best DB that particular year. Semantics and opinion aside, nobody can pick 4 from Texas DBs nor D and feel like its a complete list cause as you said.... the people left out are insanely talented contributors.
  2. I thought I knew you. Braising human flesh is like boiling a filet mignon. If you aren't using a cast iron skillet and broil, you're just lost in the process. You're really disappointing me man.
  3. Some people just love to move goal posts. I've found Edge Lords to be particularly fond of the behavior.
  4. As a team contribution player... Vasher and Barron are very hard to argue against.
  5. I'm pretty fucking sure that is Ron Weaver.
  6. If Huff is a lock I'd say Ross and Barron are too. But in contributions to Texas football Diggs never missed a game in 4 years and won 3 All Big XII awards. That leaves out Vasher who was a demon in tackling, passes broken up, and INTs as well as Jammer who is #2 in interceptions. Forgetting about Thomas who was phenomenal. Its a bitch picking 4 on DBs alone. Aforementioned Hampton, haven't talked about Corey Redding or Sims. Like I said.... a Texas D Mount Rushmore is a beating because of who you have to leave off. Even picking 4 on DB is a bitch.
  7. I would even agree if someone put Barron on their top 4. He was instrumental to our D last year. Huff and Vasher always seemed like they came through in the clutch moments. Stanley Richards mentioned above was a big part of "shock the nation". Hell, Texas DB Rushmore discussion could EASILY be it's own thread. Edit - went to count. As of today there are 7 Longhorn DBs in the NFL. 9 OSU and 6 LSU. Suck it LSU and OSU
  8. He's a legit hardcore fan and I personally enjoy the national media attention outside normal sports media he brings to the Longhorns.
  9. How I aligned mine was at the position while at Texas. Yeah, Thomas was phenomenal and I was hard pressed not to include him. Aaron Ross was another. So fucking many.
  10. Gray, Diggs, Vasher, Thomas, Ross, Huff, DeAyala, Johnson, Barron, Mukuba and some others you could all argue for at DB. Texas has been called DBU over more than one era in the past. I could have picked a Mount Rushmore for D and made it all DBs. Hell, I left off Tony Brackens and Stoney Clark two of my personal all time favorite Longhorn D players cause hard choices. Like I said in my post, the D one was hard as fuck cause of who I had to leave off.
  11. Sigh... this homework assignment sucks cause of all the people I have to leave off. I'll keep it simple to start and do football, but I have to do offense and defense. Offense: Ricky Williams, Earl Campbell, Vince Young, James Street Defense: Tommy Nobis, Quinten Jammer, Brian Orakpo, Derrik Johnson (I'm sorry Stony...) Defense kicked me in the nuts more than offense. I just love so many Longhorn D players. No shade on offense and I didn't even get a WR or OL in on offense. This exercise sucks!!!!
  12. Those are only 4s on Surly. Those pointy knees.
  13. Not related to TLOU, but I was in Milano when the fashion show was going on one year. Few times I ran into a small group of models in weird happenstance. They stand way out and my thought was curious, a bit odd, definitely not that they were hot. But I'm sure I'd fap to their videos.
  14. There are probably 5-6 former employees of Chili Parlor that I still talk to or text occasionally today.
  15. Thats a very substantial difference and really far apart. Not that Canton is Vail but I got family in Canyon... its... special.
  16. Can't prove they're mine! I do Surly 6s. It is known.
  17. Are you implying it was a Ghetto Baby? Don't hate, he's got kids to feed.
  18. Well, I agree with the fuck Ohio State comment.. but there are 50k+ students, 50.4% female and they are not ALL fat and ugly. Plus they live in Ohio, so you know they have low moral turpitudes.
  19. I got a laugh out of top 10... I mean they're far too often top 10 preseason... post... covid year.. and.... then.. one good run early 90s. Maybe 2012
  20. They didnt even describe what he was wearing beyond PJs. What sort of PJs was he wearing?
  21. Slightly fixed. I know Arch isn't short nor thin... but he looks it in that pic.
  22. I'll see your Craig Loston and raise you Ryan Perrilloux. That one, given what was going on at QB at the time, and how it happened will always piss me off the most.
  23. The man you wanna talk to would be my cousin Earl. He lives out on route 13. That's probably his son, they call him Earl Junior, which I think is pretty clever as he is Earl's son.
  24. Moroccan? No man, those are "mercenary" goats!!
  25. Agree with you completely on what a transfer will bring to a team being a tricky aspect of ranking. There are many reasons a player might not have been productive at one school, then is at another. Those range wildly from the system the player was in to where they go, the supporting cast around that payer at the old place vs new, the OC or DC, the players buy in, the psychological health of the program, and too many other factors to list. A 5 star who sucked transferring from a team that sucked to another team that sucks isn't turning into a stud. A 3 star that was mildly productive in one system could turn into a NFL draft pick in another. It's that wide with perhaps a tad hyperbole but not a lot.
