  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Clown show by the Vikings not to spike it there.
  5. Not to mention two of those passed up scores definitely would not have been on the defense.
  6. Not sure if the play was staged or if the left tackle just figured yeah I don't need to block her.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Attitude has nothing to do with it. He was a really good running back. He was not as good as Williams, Charles, or Robinson.
  11. 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!
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. Correct, they are very committed to staying small time so they use a gimmick abbreviation instead of their initials.
  15. 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.
  16. It's also largely because they're the only one of the three offensive skill positions whose health isn't heavily protected by all the rule changes. They're either running with the ball or blocking most of the time. The defense is almost always allowed to hit them as hard as they can. QBs and WRs not so much (in the pocket or going across the middle to make a catch used to be kill shots in waiting).
  17. It removes a certain amount of officials' judgment from a scoring play and makes every field goal reviewable (because some ref would figure out a way to still screw it up). And you're apparently taking the suggestion way too seriously. It would be awesome to see in a secondary league for a while. But if you love field goals more than offensive plays I guess more power to you Mr. Erxleben.
  18. Not even close to every kick would get blocked. Would more get blocked? Sure. I don't see why that's inherently a bad thing.
  19. I wondered why they didn't do that back in the day when they were trying to make field goals more difficult by narrowing the goalposts. I think it would be awesome and the XFL or USFL or whatever leagues are around right now should figure out a way to do it obviously without permanently changing the posts at shared fields.
  20. Well nobody is saying that. Texas is in a position to say "look at what these guys who were rated similarly to you at the same position made in NIL at Texas." Saying what you're saying above is against the rules. Texas has no reason to cheat. Other than that, why exactly do you think only a specific subset (college athletes) of adult Americans shouldn't be able to earn money based on their fair market value?
  21. 15 years instead of 20 and it sounds like some Texas fans exactly 13 years ago next week after getting drilled at home.
  22. When you don't want to publicize that they're suspended, absolutely.
