  1. The team is not taking anyone for granted or anyone else super serious. This isn't some fanciful movie, it's professional baseball. They played like shit against the Yankees, that's it. Every pitch is potentially worth tens of thousands of dollars to these guys. Now let's hope they play well for the next two months.
  2. I am still completely convinced this corny thread is why we can't have nice things anymore.
  3. I mean what Rome does is stupid but saying that he tried to "drag Chaz into it" is pretty absurd. It's McCormick's career, pretty sure he's already into it.
  4. I'm not sure how that's equivalent to Aggies. I mean, the Astros just swept Appalachian State on the road. That's not like A&M at all.
  5. Don't question Greg Davis, he's a coach and you're not and plus it's distracting for the team.
  6. Glad he's producing but Stanton is 100% correct that Scherzer was extremely stupid to throw that pitch right there. Also glad to have an announcer admit that he has to cheat to catch high velocity.
  7. Elevation difference between Lubbock and Laramie is about 3900 feet. Between College Station and Lubbock it's about 3000. Don't let Texags hear about the Red Raider elevation excuse or suddenly their history in Lubbock will have an asterisk.
  8. Alvarez's home run was clearly bigger than Altuve's for the very reason mentioned earlier in the thread. You can't be arguing about how Altuve is the greatest Astro because of wins and championships and then turn around and argue that a home run that won the ALCS before a World Series loss is bigger than a home run that won the World Series.
  9. To be fair, maybe the word "this" was a meta self reference or something.
  10. Not only that, she was a national championship pom squad member.
  11. I think Bregman should have acted like a little bitch when he got hit like Semien did in Houston.
  12. Man some of this thread during and right after the game was weird. Murphy threw the worst pass of the day for Texas (Johntay Cook had an easy TD with a minimally competent throw). The backup QB infatuation will never die.
  13. Only change I could see is that it should be 1st and 25 for Duke in this situation.
  14. That's not a late hit. That's roughing the passer. Announcers saying "he hit him late" doesn't mean it's a late hit foul. I was late
  15. How so? Play was over. As soon as Klubnik was down possession changed. It's not a specific rule, it's the basic rule of football. If you don't reach the line to gain on 4th down it's the other team's ball.
  16. Late hit with targeting. Late by definition is after the play. Targeting can also happen during the play.
  17. I think so. We're all used to defenders doing something stupid like that on 3rd down. Totally different on 4th down. I think, but we'll find out.
  18. Yep, 4th down play was over. Late hit is I believe technically after the change of possession.
  19. Good call to go for 2. Hard to imagine them kicking two field goals (along with a TD) to make you pay even if you didn't convert.
  20. Don't forget the part where Maldonado gets to catch the better pitchers (historically speaking) and still has a higher catcher ERA. Front line guys all struggling but nobody mentions that Maldonado is the common denominator.
  21. Yes we've been over it here. For some reason Texas State wants to hold themselves back by not being TSU. That format is nationally recognized as State University and would instantly give more credibility to the school nationally. So definitely stick with TXST.
  22. You're so mean! You're awful! Everything OU fans say is true!
  23. Making it seem like you just figured out people on the internet can be assholes isn't quite as persuasive an argument as you seem to think. "Every Longhorn I know in real life is cool and reasonable but you anonymous people on the internet are mean and hurt my feelings!" No shit.
  24. lulz Maybe spend more time prepping for your actual opponent than running your mouth, Joey High School.
  25. Who believes that? Who do you see posting around here that Texas is a championship team right now?
