  1. Had a family member who used to live there. Many visits growing up allowed me to build my CD collection from that Tower Records on Ventura Blvd. She is the reason a Texas kid became a lifelong Dodgers fan. I hate seeing all of this. Good luck to Sbbruin and all the other surly Angelenos.
  2. Why do people keep suggesting that Quinn returned our program to relevance? He was an adequate QB that mostly allowed us to win the games we should’ve won with the overwhelming talent advantage we had all around him. A few times he came very close to destroying the upward trajectory of our program (see: aggy game). He played well against Bama and Michigan but he played average or below average in many other games. Maybe we should start thanking Bert Auburn for back-to-back playoff appearances. Texas is better after Bert helped return us to prominence.
  3. In what regard? Chris Simms was a play away from a national championship game at one point. The gap between Colt and Quinn is massive.
  4. Why does that one play have to linger when he did that repeatedly even in his 3rd year? Have you already forgotten how unnecessarily close the aggy game was after back-to-back Quinn blunders? That’s who he is.
  5. This is it in a nutshell. Sark is absolutely to blame for the playcalling when it was 1st and 1 from the 1 yard line. That was horrendous and worthy of discussion elsewhere. But we scored 14 points and our QB overthrew balls, underthrew balls, and has a knack for stepping into a collapsing pocket to self sack. He scrambles once or twice a game only because it is so completely unexpected, but he is not a threat on the ground and has no ability to scramble outside the pocket and make a pass or a play with his legs. On 95% of plays he moves a total of 2 yds from where he initially receives the snap. The comparisons to Chris Simms are true only if you put Chris Simms in ski boots.
  6. As bad as that last TD was, this is very much a game and we can win it.
  7. Did you miss the part where Quinn likes to step into a collapsing pocket and assume the fetal position?
  8. We probably have 32 minutes left of seeing Quinn Ewers in a Texas uniform.

  10. Pedo state can go fuck themselves in the shower
  11. Fuck pedo state to eternity.
  12. As a Texas fan, it's weird to watch other teams make FGs.
  13. It’s embarrassing to be an American these days. Our president elect speaks in broken English in his press conferences and on social media, threatening to take territories from our allies against their will. A couple of years ago the world watched in horror as Putin invaded Ukraine. We have helped Ukraine resist. We have also been waiting to see if China would be bold enough to forcefully take Taiwan. How exactly is the U.S. any different than Russia or China if we go down this path? We will tariff our enemies into submission and force Denmark to give up Greenland? Force Canada to become a state? I suppose there will be less bloodshed but our soon to be leader is still talking very openly about a hostile takeover of allied territories. This bullshit about America First is no different than Russia First or PRC First. We are becoming our enemies. The problem is that when you look around the world, it’s hard to know who the good guys are anymore. If WW3 happens, who will be the voice of reason?
  14. Reminds me of season 2 of LOST when it didn’t seem like they knew what to do with the plot.
  15. I assume these national officiating standards would penalize a team for a lineman picking up a running back and pulling him into the endzone?
  16. If it turns out that a series of avoidable human errors happened, that’s a much harder reality to accept than the explanation that a freak bird strike or equipment failure occurred. Just the idea that maybe 179 people didn’t have to die on this one. I would also assume most of us would like to believe the pilots are trained well enough and the plane is engineered in such a way to prevent a worst case scenario of poor decision making under pressure, resulting in catastrophic death. I wonder if there’s any possibility of foul play. When the scarce surface level details don’t seem to make sense, perhaps there was a nefarious actor involved. Hopefully not, but I guess time will tell.
  17. That stinks because the show was super realistic up until that point.
