  1. The reason for optimism for me is that Texas is much better than Clemson and is the biggest first round favorite for a reason.
  2. Won at the Big House, kicked OU"s ass. All in all a good season. Hell, he's personally undefeated.
  3. He read a block during the return, too. Of course his teammate #49 doesn't know how to finish a block so the guy made it back to Sweat but that's not our guy's fault. Natural athlete, obv.
  4. Texas 31-16 Clemson 337 yards
  5. I don't know anything about White but at least Arnold is better than Payton Thorne. Pushing out Gabriel for Arnold was the worst roster decision since Babe Ruth was sold to finance theatrical productions.
  6. Yeah not sure about taking on Arenado to play 1B. But then again somehow the Astros were a good team last year even though a 100 OPS+ from 1B would be an improvement.
  7. I like the trade. Carry on with the meltdown.
  8. Three of those are just wrong, not to mention using Cincinnati and Houston is absurd because they wouldn't be in the Big 12 if Texas and OU didn't leave.
  9. Either Boom-Meister or Boo Mister, depending on performance.
  10. You should probably go ahead and not believe anything from a clearly bullshit tweet.
  11. Awesome. I thought for sure the all season hype around Caleb Downs would give him the award. Well-deserved for Jahdae. Next up: coaching Guilbeau to immediately find a block.
  12. No, we've played them more this season than A&M has in 13 seasons. 2 games versus 1.
  13. That Dr Pepper commercial where it's a real portal and a punter emerges would work right here on multiple levels.
  14. Yeah, that one game major game at home losing streak has just been crazy.
  15. I guess somebody important read my suggestion of offering Mitchell five bucks and a case of Diet Dr Pepper. You're welcome, fellow Longhorn fans. I'm not willing to do as much as Helobious but I will continue making smartass posts on the internet if it helps.
  16. This guy literally left his alma mater for a higher paying job.
  17. I wonder if teams will move away from scheduling OOC games so far out in the future. Let's say the SEC someday does the right thing and goes to a 3+6 rotation. Our 3 would of course be OU, A&M, and Arkansas. What if our two rotating sets of 6 are Alabama, Florida, Mississippi State, Missouri, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Auburn, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Ole Miss, South Carolina this is actually done evenly based on all-time SEC records. Obviously wouldn't work out that well but let's go with it. Now imagine a decade from now if one of those two sets is MUCH stronger than the other set. Programs ebb and flow and it's certainly possible. Let's say that Florida pulls its head out and Alabama stays great under Deboer and Heupel puts it all together and so the top set has three top 10 teams in it. And at the same time Kiffin is fired for banging the school president's daughter, LSU continues being poor and goes downhill, and Smart is banned for life for assaulting opposing players on the sideline so the second set is pure garbage with one team in the top 25. So as you're setting up your 3 out of conference games for those seasons wouldn't it make a lot of sense to configure your two "premier P4 OOC opponents" to be Oregon while you're playing the bottom set and Nebraska while you're playing the top set? Otherwise you're just completely leaving schedule strength talk outside of your control. Although after having typed that you could do everything right then Jim Harbaugh leaves and goes to the NFL.
  18. Jesus H. Christ stop with the stupid nicknames. Makes your posts immediate scroll-bys.
  19. "After a year that saw a meteoric return to form for the Aggies football team, Texas A&M is moving on from a longstanding program tradition due to safety concerns." While I agree that 8-4 is their form, meteoric is an interesting way to describe improving from 7-5 to 8-4.
  20. Something Helobious will come to appreciate in the coming weeks.
  21. Yes, I basically meant splitting along a yard line. The standard longitudinal split obviously won't work because of the upper deck differences.
  22. CDC should offer to host it at DKR and split at the 50 to keep seats even. I mean they'll say no but it would be awesome.
  23. Intro videos for visitors is an idea, that's for sure. Signing them up to get booed loudly.
  24. Yep this is a big one to look at. The hope from the Texas side is that Texas wasn't prepared because Beck is not a frequent QB draw runner. We should be prepared for it this time is the hope.
