  1. Went out to see Texas Tech and New Mexico this afternoon in ABQ. Lobos with the 9th inning walk off HR to win 11-10. Third straight walk off loss for Tech.
  2. I would not be surprised if Texas is seeded in a bracket where they will match up against aggy, Tennessee or Marquette. Obviously Tenn or Marquette would be further in the tourney but the committee loves to create controversial matchups for Texas up against rivals or former head coaches, something with a past history.
  3. Texas style of play these days is very similar to when my son was playing 15U AAU basketball. Run around the court throwing up sloppy shots or throw it away (check) Make half-hearted attempt to play defense (check) Make half-hearted attempts to block out even though they are in man defense (check) Trying to get caught in the wrong mis-match on the switch (check) Now TCU is trying to reverse the roles.
  4. This TCU squad just beat K St 82-68.
  5. The key to beating Washington is to shut Penix down; they win by out scoring their opponents. They have to establish the pass to open their run game. If Texas does not pressure Penix he could easily pick the defense apart. Texas has faced passing teams all season long so this is nothing different...front four have to push the line back into Penix and mix the blitzes. Penix has been injury prone in his career so they won't call too many QB running plays but he can scramble for yardage if the pocket breaks down. UW's defense is porous and teams have put points up on them. Hopefully Ewers has used the extra time to work on his game. If Texas can get the running game going it will make it easier for Ewers to hit his passes.
  6. let me know when it's capable of generating 1.21 gigawatts with the flux capacitor in our cars.
  7. Calm down now...buy the gf off to drop the charges. Beard goes to anger management and life goes on.
  8. Biggest pussy sport in the world. Don't know why people bother with it
  9. Verlander needs to pitch the best 5-6 innings of his life tonight
  10. Astros coming up to the plate guessing instead of hitting. Not going to win games looking at pitches over the middle and swinging at garbage off the plate.
  11. just going to leave McCullers in to throw BP to phillies
  12. They shut Houston out 3-0 in one of those games to clinch their playoff spot. Granted Houston pulled Altuve, Pena, Bregman and Maldonaldo halfway through the game but both teams rested their guys in game's 2 and 3 so you can't take much out of that series.
  13. Sorta has a feel like the 2019 Series when the Nationals got hot and won the NLCS. I don't think anyone took them serious and it turned into one of the most weird series ever with the road team winning all seven games. I'm sure it's still fresh on the Astros mind and they will play to steam roll those philly fuckers.
  14. Ewers has no heart. No fucking clue what is/was going through his head this game
  15. The "oh fuck, Tucker is in" look on Zac Taylor's face said it all. Saw a debate on one of the sports news last night about Tucker's kick. One guy said it was right down the middle and the other argued it was half a yard to the right of the middle of the goal post.
  16. They are one of the best shitholes in America.
  17. Okay...2 1/3 seasons
  18. I think Card is more a project QB...give him three years of coaching and he can probably become a good college QB. It didn't help that he played behind a shit OL last season and his confidence probably took a hit. The OL is better this season, still not great, and he is still gets pressure most every time he drops back to pass.
  19. It really shouldn't be a big surprise with what happened Saturday. The OL is not there yet. Ewers didn't make it six quarters behind that line before he was knocked out, Card is harassed every time he drops back and half the time the RB was met in the backfield after taking a handoff. In the 2nd half Tech showed four man, five man and six man fronts and the OL fell apart. That hit on Bijan in OT looked like Captain Insano doing a pile driver. Same with the DL. There is no Brian Orakpo/Shawn Rogers/Casey Hampton/Tony Brackens talent on campus right now. They are improved, I was impressed at times with the DT play in the interior but they rarely pressure the QB with a four man rush (zero pressure with three man rush as we all know). When we blitz they whiff on the tackle half the time when they over run the QB or he puts a little move on them. Texas doesn't have the talent ready to win the line of scrimmage on either side of the ball and the old saying goes the games are won in the trenches. Maybe they did against ULM but they will struggle in conference. The equalizer is Texas has skill players at RB & WR, and maybe TE & QB. Every game with be a 50/50 coin toss so if you are going to start crying and throwing tantrums every time Texas loses maybe you should find something else to do during games. *Statistics show TT beats Texas every 4.5 years and Texas had won the last four games, even the last two in Lubbock, so Tech was due.
  20. Damn, checking in hoping to see LG had been traded to CBS, FOX or Mountain West Conference.
  21. If it was 9 months ago I guess he was busy making the baby?
  22. while wearing a boot over a broken foot. GOAT
