  1. i remember the bird interview but not the $200 quote. Yeah he had some of that old south, Bobby Bowden aw shucks passive aggressiveness to him for sure.
  2. Cool story bro. I was in Mobile for the GMAC Bowl years ago. I had a customer who knew I was a Texas Grad and Mack Brown was the keynote speaker at the Fellowship of Christian Athletes breakfast, so he invited me to town. Got a picture with Mack, said hello etc...after the event, I hauled ass to the airport to fly back to Dallas on AA one of their small regional jets...I was the last to board so I just plopped down on row 1 since there was no one else behind me and the whole row was open....next thing I know , who boards the plane....Mack Brown. I said hey coach take that seat the row is open....he recognized me as we had just taken a picutre together 30 minutes prior. I talked his ear off for 2 hours and he was as gracious as could be. I asked him about a few plays and we had laugh or two as I always had a knack for remembering quirky plays/situations. Back then, Tech was a real pain in our ass. We were at Tech one year (Simms era) and had a lead early. Back in those days it was like a tennis match where you had to hold serve (ie score) and hope to break serve(get a stop). Mack was always good at deferring the ball to the second half and hoping to score late and steal a possession/score to start the 2nd half. Good dude, but I fear he's out staying his welcome in NC. Incidentally, many may not know his wife was a pretty savvy business woman in her own right. Also, Mack was AD at Tulane to go along with HC of the Greenwave. He's not thought of very well by many on this board for doing less with more, but he is a very accomplished and good for the sport overall. He was the right hire for us at the right time. He claims DKR told him the key to success in Austin was putting the bb's back in the box.
  3. Sounds like they are getting Walker back after all. In addition, Deone Walker, Barion Brown, and Jamon Dumas-Johnson are no longer on the injury report, so they’re set to return this week. https://www.aseaofblue.com/2024/11/20/24302063/kentucky-vs-texas-injury-report-deone-walker-jj-weaver-barion-brown
  4. https://www.aseaofblue.com/2024/11/17/24298392/deryk-jackson-injury-kentucky-football-lb-out-for-season This article indicates that they are both banged up , Stoops is hopeful they get back “by the end of the year”. Sounds like their stud LB (transfer from UGA) is out, but also seems like he’s been out a few games. The QB played last week but was concussed the previous game.
  5. Well that could be. He may have worded that post very poorly. UF turning it around would include a W over Ole Miss which helps us. We hold on to Ffrench despite the Gators winning.
  6. He is currently balling out for Ole Miss iirc. Big part of their DL rotation. Yeah, we really don't want UF rolling. That would not bode well for our National recruiting net right now. Back in the Mack Brown days, maybe, but we recruit all states now and losing a 5* to a conference foe is not ideal. We are deeply entrenched in the state of FL for recruiting, espeically this cycle.
  7. Not sure about that , looked like he scooped it at the 5 and it was going to roll dead at 1” line. Took a nice hop and he had a little space. I didn’t mind that play. There was one earlier where he fielded the punt falling down that game me the widow maker. He looked banged up late in the game.
  8. Kentucky -Kstate is an apt comparison in general terms. Older, veteran , over-achieving bunch prone to gaint killer status periodocally. We’ll need to play good , complimentary football , smart ball and we should be fine. I still think the deep ball success is coming and when it does , watch out. I hope D. Moore’s injury is not serious and it looked like Bolden injured his shoulder too. Might we see One of freshman WR? What about the CA kid? The WR with the great film. like to see him. Bond, Golden, Wingo and then the Freshmen I presume, if Moore and Bolden are banged up. This is where Cook fucked up. Could be getting big minutes.
  9. Well this escalated a bit. I just want to beat Kentucky.
  10. If it was easy, everybody would be doing it. We don't want it any other way. Chance to show the world what it means to wear the Texas on the jersey. Cant wait. Beat Kentucky and get ready for the Ags.
  11. I could see a scenario of Clemson USc 11 am Iron bowl 2:30 Texas 6:30. alL on ABC. There is almost no way we’re not prime time if we beat Kentucky. Will be one of the highest rated games of all time imo if the SEC title game appearance is on the line.
  12. The jones fumble was similar to the AC swipe today. Not an exact replica but similar. Believe the defender on Jones was Big Roy Miller , a late OU flip for Mack iirc. From Killeen or Harker Heights area.
  13. We looked solid today. Dominated the first half defensively. QE protected the ball, our OL played well . We ran the ball against a huge front. We had some drops. QE wasn’t perfect but overall fine. Deep ball is meh to poor. Wingo catches the tip, we run a different play on 2nd and goal and this games a lot different ala Vandy. Again , I rather not peak , but have our best ball in front of us. best Uk and I think we’re in playoffs either way. Pull off a W at Aggie and for sure we’re in. I love this team. We have 2 dozen ballers at least on this squad.
  14. Lot of season left. I’d rather not be peaking, but still winning. Our best football is coming. Not perfect today, but the run game is improving, Sark seems to be coming around to running football.
  15. Nah, he was hit from behind by a trailing DT after evading the rush, scrambling back through the middle and that's when he was tackled. From memory he had the ball in his hand and not against his body but he forced that fumble. This wasn't a Matt Nordgren deal.
  16. It happens. I have a very good friend from Memphis who went to Bama. He is without a doubt the biggest TN fan I know, total die hard. The story he gave me was his best friend from HS was a total derelict, hard partying kid and he knew he'd have to be roommates with him and likely be a terrible influence....so he ended up in T-town.
  17. Sounds like we're getting the whole hog. Buckle up, this will be our 2nd hardest game next to UGA.
  18. This is absolutely a panic move. Programs like Neb aren't supposed to be pulling guys out the recycle bin 10 games in to the season. Not sure how you spin or sell this to recruits. Also, didn't realize Rhule is 5'5" 220lb. That's one short portly dude.
  19. The key to this game will be the availability of Taylen Green and former Horn J. Jackson (RB). Those two make Ark much more dangerous. Green is like 6'6" and is very elusive and can make guys miss, if he's healthy. The Ole Miss game is not a barometer, he missed the whole game pretty much and Jackson was out too. Both played well vs TN and A&M. Yeah I know neither plays D, but if they are both back, the game has a completely different tone on that side of the ball. Their big DE Jackson will be super motivated as his brother is a Texas commit. Ive been hit and miss on my predictions; I figured Vandy would be a dog fight and was correct. UF with Lagway was setting up to be tough, but i missed on that one completely. Throw in the rivalry and this one will hinge on their star player's availability, imo.
  20. Watch them close the curtains and they win that game, he'll make it seem like he had a hand in the W.
  21. Second time in the 15T section (Terrace); pretty fucking sweet set up, free food, no line for pisser or beer. Got to say its a good gig if you can get it. Endzone seats, but not too high or low, so the vantage point is nice. IIRC we were Row 57, end seat plus the 3 next to it so in and out easy to the concourse. Also really close to North entrance and the white tent tailgating area. We had our annual event for a fallen classmate. Outstanding day.
  22. Keep in mind this is the Real Estate thread and the Fed dropping quarter point, while good overall for many things, is not going to be a barometer of up Mortgage rates moving down. The 10year is more closely tied to Mortgage Rates and up until a day or so ago, its been going up for 2 weeks and taking 30 fixed with it.
  23. you never go broke taking a profit
  24. Seriously doubt he plays, and if so he'll be limited. If does play, they have a stud RB Baugh who they can rely on heavily. Id prepare for a slog from them offensively, it will be ball control, run the ball and check down all day. He'll eat a bunch of sacks instead of running it. If we play solid , we win. If we fart around like we did early vs Miss St and Vandy, these guys can match us up athlete to athlete....the game plan from them wiil be to use the dink and dunk, crossing routes and play conservative and hope we gift them the ball. If that happens, we can lose easily.
  25. Most entertaining thing about the radio feed was Babe telling the story of Novachek taking him horse riding.
