  1. Ah, the Big12 and not calling holding to equalize the games. I don't miss those days at all.
  2. Dude- We have some serious PTSD. The amount of detail all of us remember about that game is astounding. I'm old. I frequently get flustered and call my wife with my daughter's name. I can't remember what I did last week. But I remember that game like I watched it last night. I even remember where I was and what I did directly after(took a walk around the block to cool down). The fact that all @lilMAC25 had to say is "Taafe woulda caught it" and everyone here immediately knew the exact play he was talking about is Crazy!
  3. Game was decent. Quinn hits the TE and he fumbles. Comes back and throws an on target pass on a dig, db breaks on it, receiver tries to basket catch it which allows the db to reach around from behind him and get his hands on it. Deflected up in the air and intercepted. Cincy has all their weapons back, so they are scoring at will. Rookie QB. Down a few scores. Trying to make plays. That's all it was. He was fine when it wasn't obvious passing situations. It's easy to play defense when you are 3 scores up and know he has to throw.
  4. 100%. Taafe doesn't drop that and we are in the title game! What a terrible night that was.
  5. What happened in 2010 is we were thin at DT. I can't remember all the circumstances as to why it happened. Anyway, there was a stretch of games where we had to play Alex Okafor at DT, and at 260 he just couldn't hold up inside. It was a vicious circle where we couldn't score to force teams to throw so they just ran power and counter right at him all game until one popped. Also, you guys gotta remember Mack was a meddler. He wanted the recruits he wanted, so at times Boom's hands were tied. Anywho, people gotta remember he was only here for 3 years. Barely long enough to get rolling.
  6. First, the 09 defense was better than the 08 one. I feel like some of you guys are young so let us olds regale you with tales of Muschamp's prowess as a defensive coach. Lamar Houston was a slow RB/LB from Colorado when he came to Texas. We tried him off the edge but when Boom came he recognized his power, put a lil weight on him and slid him inside to 3 tech where he would be a disruptor. Henry Melton came to Texas as a 240lb goal line RB and we used him as such until Boom came and flipped him to his side of the ball and got him to the league as a big DE who could slide inside. Sergio Kindle was a 5 star LB who couldn't play traditional LB because he was stupid. Boom put him at Jack end where he would go on to decapitate many a QB in his career. Earl Thomas was a undersized 3 star recruit from Orange Texas who was never supposed to play here. He had decent speed but was undersized at 5'9-10. Boom got him and turned him into the best safety in the country, and next to Thomas was Michael Taafe..I mean Blake Gideon, the Michael Taafe before Michael Taafe. People see the finished product with all these NFL players and don't realize that it was Boom's eye for talent that created that roster. They weren't all bunch of 5 stars. Guys were lost with no real role on the team. You had some real dummies like Chykie and Sergio.
  7. I am trying to lead you to where you realize that just patting someone on the back and saying "sorry for your luck" isn't going to bring voters back to your side. I don't understand why you guys are acting like these situations are new. The right has been running the same playbook and it's worked against 3 generations of white folks for the last 45 years. F rom 1980-1992The Dems were doing exactly what you are asking them to do now. They were listening to the little guy and his life problems. Meanwhile Reagan and Bush were talking about cutting social programs and being tough on blacks because Welfare Queens and Willy Horton. These were the voting maps in those three terms Completely Washed!! Its infuriating to watch you guys do this. You wanna believe so bad that people aren't what they are showing you they are. You ignore voting trends. You ignore what the country has been telling you for generations, and that is this. People just don't want anyone that doesn't look like them to have shit, and refuse to believe that someone, who doesn't look like them that DOES have shit, came about it honestly. That's why we are willing to cut programs that are helpful to us. That's why we don't want universal healthcare. That's why the blackest state in the union, Mississippi, is also the poorest. That's why we hate DEI programs. These people aren't mad about their slot in life. They are mad that they are where they are and someone *insert ethnicity* got over undeservedly. That's why they are so easily manipulated. If you shipped out all the dirty ethnic people the country would vote for universal healthcare the next day. I know this because I see it every day. Everytime someone asks me where I went to school there is a pause and facial expression when I say Texas. The next question is always what sport did I play. The faces they make hopping out of our clean A6 at the tailgate with my wife on my arm. I told the story of making my daughter cut grass when she was 13 because life lessons, only to be asked how much I charge for landscaping by a couple yoga pants wearing, walker-bys. The look they gave when I told them it was my house. Lol. Every ethnic person with even a modicum of success has been met with these same circumstances and understands what they mean, and that is why the Jacob Savage's that voted for Trump are pissed. Those people in Ohio talking shit about the Haitians driving by in the Lexus is a prime example of that. The rest of us have been getting the shaft our entire life too, but we are smart enough to understand it's not the fault of women and immigrants with HB1 visas. You have to already be the kind of person thinking what the right is saying to take the bate on that shit imo. You already have an idea and here comes a politician just reinforcing what you already feel. I wish I could believe those dudes just needed some empathy, but history has told me different.
  8. Yeah, Georgia ran Mint a lot against us especially on running downs. For those that might want to dig into whar JBJ is talking about here is a video explaining the two.
  9. That does nothing to solve the problem, which is the other side is giving them someone to blame for their perceived slights and promising to eradicate the problem.
  10. Hard to say because he has been running Smart's defense, but when he was here we pretty much stayed in a 4-2-5(with a Jack LB). Some called it a 2-4-5 but whatever. He ran under/over fronts with a lot of single gap responsibilities so the front 7 could play fast and loose. On the edge we didn't believe in space. Contesting routes was the norm whether that be in zone or man. A lot of split field coverages triggered by alignment or personnel, where we would zone to one side and man on the other. He was pretty multiple. It looked exotic from the outside but had simple keys for the players. We played extremely fast on that side of the ball. It was a joy to watch the defense because they brought a hat every week. If you weren't around, go back and look at 08 and 09's scores. Best defenses we've had since I've been old enough to pay attention. Outside of a couple games, when teams we start they game getting the better of us we adjusted and shut that shit down.
  11. I spent my whole professional career doing that so yes. The question is what is that going to do to fix the situation? Is that going to bring them back to our side? If the answer is no, what will it take to bring them back to our side?
  12. and how do you think that is going to help?
  13. Brother, blaming progressives for helping minorities in favor of white men is a thinly veiled way of blaming minorities. We minorities are very adept at reading dog whistles. This is why I hate responding to these kinds of posts. Then the accusations of someone trying to play the victim come out when I could give a fuck, I'm getting mine regardless. What did you say? "- I very much do blame our current situation on affluent white progressives for abandoning majoritarian middle class economic interests in favor of narrow social issues and reinforcing their own economic security and social status." As wildcat above pointed out, that wasn't how it went down. The abandonment of the "working man" was a direct response to getting washed 3 presidential races in a row while trying to run on a "working man and strong unions" based platform, while Reagan was running on cutting taxes for the rich and trickle down. Thats how we got a conservative Democrat in office that would famously say in a State of The Union Address that "The Era of Big Government is over". A democratic president that would sign the 94 crime bill, NAFTA, Glass-Steagall Reform, and push for China to join the WTO. All Republican agendas. This was long before blue-haired progressives and trans people. But go ahead and tell us how it was about "narrow social issues", as you called it.
  14. Shortly after posting the OP you then posted this. This where you were trying to drive the conversation and we could all see it coming. Based on your experience, which is statistically incorrect across the entirety of the workforce. You suggested that white Millennial males are being pushed toward MAGA because minority groups are getting jobs, despite multiple people on this thread trying to steer you away from that. You go on to say this...... and this........ and this..... and then lastly this...... This pretty much paints your worldview that progressives pushing diversity in the workplace are responsible for the current political climate, and we need to slide backwards in order to "win back" the white male vote. As a member of a minority group, I would politely like to tell you to fuck all the way off with that bullshit. We've put nothing but centrist in the white house for decades and the right is still unhappy. They won't be happy until they claw back ALL the rights of everyone who is NOT a white male. That's a no go in my household my guy. White men already control almost everything, and when those white men die off a new crop of them will replace them. It just so happens that these current white men won't let go of the fucking rope. Quit blaming minorities and diversity. Look around you. The fucking president is 79 years old. The previous guy was 80 years old. Jerry Jones is 8 fucking 3. Buffet, Penske, Rady, Miller, Cole, Greenberg, etc etc. My fucking next door neighbor is in his 70's, has a brand new black on black suburban, bought his wife a new 5 series BMW, AND has a 911 tucked away in his garage. This motherfucker is still out there working and trying to live like he is 30. All across the country old ass white motherfuckers are holding onto their positions instead being put to pasture. Behind them is us. Waiting for them to die the fuck off so we can finally ascend. It's a log jam, and has very little to do with fucking minorities. Geezus fucking kr-I-st, let's placate more to the demographic that has everything. That will solve the problem. Let's get back to the days of minorities only being housekeepers and racial fucking covenants. Fuck yeah!
  15. Look man, I haven't commented on this subject much because I like to let the whites argue amongst themselves on topics like this. It's pretty obvious that the whole reason you brought this forth is because this resonated with you. Your whole viewpoint started based on feelings and not facts, and feelings is almost always a terrible way to form an opinion. The reason Millennials are getting squeezed out is far more complex. Most of it is because the olds aren't leaving. The workforce is getting older so not as many spots. Another is white male university enrollment has been steadily declining for years. I can go on but you get the picture. Bottom line is statistical analysis of demographics in the workplace across different genres doesn't support your worldview. The numbers have changed a little but far exceed the representation in population.
  16. Yeah like immigration law. I'm sure @sheeeit can guess what the demographic would be there.
  17. Even if someone didn't read the article, we can see your angle through your what you've personally written. I am pretty sure that's where @wildcat09 is coming from.
  18. I was more talking about the difference in money, but I looked and he wasn't being paid that much so y'all are right. A lot of Blue blood coordinators are making well over a million dollars. Shoot, Michigan's Wink Martindale is making 2.3 million. PK 1.8. It would be awful to have to take a third of your previous salary.
  19. 20 years ago I might've skimmed over this and rolled my eyes. But after raising a Gen Z daughter I can see the differences in how young women spend their day vs young men and wholeheartedly agree with this. I have never seen my daughter pick up a controller for a Playstation or Xbox. She last played Minecraft and Roblox. Her downtime is spent on more mentally stimulating activities. It's a 180 to her male cousins. At 17-18, all the young women in her circle are already locked in on which colleges they are going to. The boys? Not so much. It is truly eye-opening, and speaks to exactly what you are talking about here. In 4-7 years these women will be emerging from higher learning and entering the workforce in droves. It's not stopping any time soon.
  20. We all knew it was Mechanical Engineering.......Aggie
  21. Is that who I think it is?
  22. Imagine you are a Blue Blood and your OC leaves for *checks notes* Missouri. Oof!
  23. Y'all turned the ball over like 12 times, but it's the team not playing's fault that you lost. Rent fuckin free! I imagine an aggy saying that a sip paid Tyrone to fuck his wife and ruin his marriage.
  24. Yeah, you saw that on the first couple throws that went his way. He don't give a fuck. He is not being evaluated. He knows his job is secure. This is why I hate bringing guys in at the end of the season when a team is out of contention. The vets are just out there dogging it. I mean, over in the Cleveland game Josh Allen only had to throw for 130 yards and no TDs. Cleveland let Cook run for over 7 yards a pop and over 100 yards in the first half. Just not giving a fuck. Only one out there trying was Garrett because of the sack record. Bills scored 23 points without Allen throwing OR running for a TD. Bills had 3 TDs on the ground. Just rolling out the red carpet. That shit makes it hard to watch the NFL.
  25. I'm not arguing at all. Your assessment was spot on. Just voicing my observations. It was funny to see Miami running our plays though on several occasions.
