  1. Lots of people don't like loudmouths. It's not necessarily a race thing. How many people on this board absolutely loved how badly Tate Martell flamed out? And he was never even a Texas rival. Theoretically we should have liked him for spurning A&M. Add in Sanders's history with the Dallas school scam and there's plenty not to like. Now on the other hand there are also some for whom the issue is racial and cultural issues. That's why this stupid thread and topic have lasted so long. Both sides can be right simultaneously even though they're saying contradictory things. "People don't like him because he's Black!" and "people don't like him because he's a self-promoting loudmouth who scammed people" are both true.
  2. Yeah if it's at least a moderate high ankle sprain and they push him back in 2-4 weeks his mobility will be very limited. But honestly Max Johnson liked fine back here. He's about as good a backup as they could hope for. Weigman shows flashes but I'm not convinced that in 2023 Johnson is that much of a step down.
  3. lulz Way to give away the fact that the childish insult actually bothered you by posting a three paragraph and typo-ridden response.
  4. Simple, tell one of the defenders to contact an offensive player. Dead ball, half the distance, you have time to run on the 11th defender.
  5. Not just last game. He's a pretty poor blocker and we need to stop calling plays where he is a critical blocker at the point of attack.
  6. I chuckled imagining that Thatguy thinks white people hang out at their family gatherings in their work clothes. Or that white people talk the same at work as they do at their family gatherings. There is a wide range of code-switching and obviously it's more dramatic for some cultures, but the line about how they might wear different clothes at a family gathering than they do at work was pretty funny. No shit.
  7. Comparing raw stats without accounting for systems, teammates, eras, coaches, etc. is the absolute dumbest analysis possible and yet you're proud of doing it repeatedly to compare players. Good for you, man. Stake out your little corner of the Longhorn internet, even if there's a sign over it that reads Dipshit Central.
  8. Yeah, who would ever use stuff from the past that's over to motivate a Texas team at home against Kansas? Doc Daneeka knows a lot more about being a winner than Vince Young, just ask him.
  9. Clown show by the Vikings not to spike it there.
  10. Not to mention two of those passed up scores definitely would not have been on the defense.
  11. Not sure if the play was staged or if the left tackle just figured yeah I don't need to block her.
  12. Not just conservative on offense. The defensive calls on the last two drives were actually kind of irritating just bailing all DBs in a super prevent to let their backup scrub walk down the field.
  13. Long term this is a great win. Dominated the game but made plenty of mistakes for the coaches to ride the team's ass about all week.
  14. I think Auburn pushed that right because there was a free rusher off the left edge. Special teams has been bad in lots of different ways tonight.
  15. Attitude has nothing to do with it. He was a really good running back. He was not as good as Williams, Charles, or Robinson.
  16. One time we tried to get the Big 12 to look into creating a Big 12 Network. The whole conference! On one network! Oh the hegemony!
  17. There are still people at Baylor who were complicit and their institutional approach hasn't changed specifically because there are enough simpletons like you in the world who just figure the bad guys are gone. At the risk of invoking Godwin"s Law your position is as dumb as saying you don't care about German Nazis because none of the current ones were involved in past atrocities. You are choosing to go through life being wilfully ignorant. It's a nice defense mechanism but doesn't really give you the platform to claim you're smarter than other people.
  18. That cat killing was just an isolated incident, you can't hold an institution responsible for what one guy did! So what that the institution lied about it and tried to avoid punishing the scumbags responsible, that won't obviously lead to future incidents! Holding the institution responsible is absurd! Later... That basketball murder cover-up and victim smearing campaign was just an isolated incident, you can't hold an institution responsible for what a few guys did! So what that the institution lied about it and tried to avoid punishing the scumbags responsible, that won't obviously lead to future incidents! Holding the institution responsible is absurd! It's not connected! Even later... That football program serial rape cover-up and victim smearing campaign was just an isolated incident, you can't hold an institution responsible for what dozens of guys did! So what that the institution lied about it and tried to avoid punishing the scumbags responsible, that won't obviously lead to future incidents! Holding the institution responsible is absurd! These incidents aren't connected! They definitely don't keep happening and continue to involve more and more shitbags because the institution has shown a complete lack of morals that encourages shitty behavior! That's crazy talk! /big-brained @Doc Daneeka, probably
  19. Correct, they are very committed to staying small time so they use a gimmick abbreviation instead of their initials.
  20. If an event has a 70% chance of happening and everyone knows that and has full information, then predictions of the event results should be nearly 100% in favor of the 70% result. Event probability and prediction percentage don't match in a perfect world. If I handed you a single die and asked you to make a prediction on which event would happen, either you roll a 1 or you don't, you would predict you don't. So would everyone else. Same logic. The percentage of people who predict they won't roll a 1 would be much higher than 83%. The 83% probability would be the correct bet 100% of the time.
