  1. All of what the above are saying. Another factor is that this board is aging and is now pretty old in Texas internet fandom in terms of average age of posters. 20 years ago we would have been screaming at each other for the past few days about that shit show on Saturday. But now we're all older with more important shit to worry about in terms of jobs, families, etc. I don't let Texas sports affect me like they used to both just naturally and also as an active choice. Except the OU game. If Sarkisian fucks that up he'll hear about it!
  2. Because most people grow out of thinking constant trolling is funny. This is an old forum, junior high entertainment won't have many fans. While you're correct that pissing off OU fans would be funny to me, that's because they're our rival. I wouldn't expect anyone but Longhorns and Oklahoma St. Cowboys to enjoy that. Enjoying one person constantly fucking with another person when you're not associated with either is a bit weird to me.
  3. On the road. That matters in big games, only one side has to modify communications, etc.
  4. If this is true he should stop wasting time posting on Reddit and devote 100% of his time to finding a job. He helped fuck his family over, it's the least he could do.
  5. He made several terrible throws. I mean we jump right out the gate with a 25 yard pass to Moore except he spiked it 8 yards short. On the last drive he turfed one to Endries then threw well behind Wingo, each of those were first downs with good throws. Manning was very bad today, it's not wrong to say it. We just have to have faith he will play better moving forward, which I think he will.
  6. A bad opener but a lot to work on. Really the biggest concerns I have even more than Manning is Sarkisian obviously. That was the first big game for Manning, he will be better (also of course reinforces how stupid everyone who said Ewers was an average college QB is). But our offense overall is now showing repeated issues for 3 years running. That's on the coach, of course. Lot for him to figure out in 3 weeks.
  7. Or maybe it shows why he wasn't starting
  8. I mean during an in-game interview when asked what advice he had given Salter to get the offense going he said "everyone wants to be him, it's time to be him." Quite the tactician.
  9. Can't wait to see what he says about the two timeouts in his pocket. Assuming the media there actually ask him any decent questions.
  10. Colorado is stupid and Sanders with some horrific clock management. Hahaha GT let that guy behind them
  11. Yep was thinking that during the run.
  12. Huge conferences fucking suck. The only good thing about going to 20 is maybe we split into 10 someday. Yes I know it won't happen.
  13. Yeah she's obviously not going to do it, but the only thing I can imagine being as dumb as spending all two billion dollars one has earned is dying with all two billion dollars one has earned.
  14. Okay so that's the first "worst throw of the season" I've seen this year. Good to get that out of the way.
  15. Dammit my bad. I thought 11th but I guess I added a bonus year of suffering.
  16. Quinn Ewers accomplished more than Rick Barnes at the University of Texas by leading his team to two Final Four finishes.
  17. Holy shit I bet you actually think this is true.
  18. Chris Simms was better at playing QB than guys like Laguna are at literally anything.
  19. They are by definition the same thing in one direction (it's possible to be NFL caliber but not in the NFL; the reverse is not). The problem is people saying "NFL caliber" when they mean "quality NFL caliber" instead.
  20. It is one of the hardest things to fix, though, if it doesn't click quickly. Mental processing speed is absolutely the main reason that NFL QB draft picks flame out so frequently. Some guys can see shit before it even happens (think TJ Ford on a basketball court) and some guys can't see it until a second after it's already happened. It's another ability but is the hardest to identify and test.
  21. No, people have pointed out his problem repeatedly but you refuse to hear it. He holds the ball way too long and always has. That's how you can be a QB who causes his team to lose games while completing 70% of your passes. Allow me to rephrase that. That's how Sanders IS a QB who causes his team to lose games while still completing 70& of his passes.
  22. That's correct, last time the US didn't win was when Lufkin got beat by Japan.
  23. Texas 30 Ohio St. 20 Manning - 288 total yards
