  1. Before you get too caught up in Scipio's prognostications, remember that he had this to say about hiring Charlie Strong: "This is a decade hire, not a one year hire. If your attention span only functions in milliseconds, go follow Kim Kardashian on Twitter and watch Skip Bayless. When we're playing for the national championship four years from now, remember those doubts you had and chuckle at how hard you tried to make it all seem. This is Texas. We just hired a kick-ass football coach with a chip on his shoulder the size of a redwood."
  2. I'm all for being realistic, but let's not make stuff up. Chris Petersen is a fantastic coach and eventually got UW rolling, but he went 15-12 his first two years. Sark was 15-10 over his last two seasons. 2012: 7-6 (Sark) 2013: 8-4 (Sark - doesn't count bowl win after he left for USC) 2014: 8-6 (Petersen) 2015: 7-6 (Petersen)
  3. Counter-point, Tim Beck, Drew Mehringer, and Corby Meekins.
  4. Fuck it, 11-1 with a loss to ISU on the road. The defense should be great. DL and the secondary are stacked and LB should be much improved. A red-shirt freshman QB is always an adventure, but... Bijan. We don't want or need Card to carry the team the way Sam was expected to. We need decent QB play and a couple of receivers to step up. If that happens, we're good. We've got talent. Not Bama/Ohio State/Clemson talent, but enough to run the table in the Big 12. If Sark comes up with half-way decent game plans we should have an edge against everyone but OU. I assume we'll slip up somewhere. It all depends on Sark. I was disappointed with the hire initially and I'm still not entirely sold on him. UW was awful when he got there and he was apparently wasted the entire time at USC so it's hard to take much away from his time at either place. He put together a great staff though and the players seem to have responded to the new approach. I'm feeling optimistic now, but that could be the koolaid talking.
  5. Some of y'all are crazy. The first week or two of the season, I'll be ecstatic to watch literally any game that's on. Montana State vs Grambling? I'm watching the whole damn thing like it's the freaking championship game.
  6. Say she was drinking a Coors Light and there will be a Surly fatwa.
  7. I immediately thought of Jordy Nelson when I saw the post above. 15 years ago he would have ended up at KSU and none of us would have cared until he scored 3 TDs against Texas. Then Mack would remind everyone that winning is hard.
  8. Hey, my parents died when I was 10. Want to talk about that next? /The Wedding Singer.
  9. They really wanted that full circle narrative. BOB uses words. Bama uses words. Coincidence? I think not.
  10. Commentator says Sark will run the ball all day if you can't stop it and shows a clip of a big run against Notre Dame. The next play is a pass.
  11. Translation: This isn't College Station, stay away from coach's girlfriend.
  12. Also, why would we sit Overshown because we know what he can do and play Bijan.
  13. Becton fixed all that. He now has explosive forearms.
  14. In their defense, Wikipedia can't seem to find Bijan either.
  15. Not to discount the blocking, but I imagine more than one DB was content to be locked up with 200 pound receiver than get trucked by Earl.
  16. I'm kind of surprised Bijan only has 87k followers. I figured being on heisman watch lists would get him more followers. Outside of someone like Suh, I don't see linemen getting huge numbers of followers. Joey Bosa probably would have done pretty well. Still, QBs, RBs, WRs, and the occasional DB who also does kick returns will always have a significant advantage.
  17. Put the dropped interception against Tech on the menu and then tell me where and how much money to send you.
  18. This has no bearing on whether he's an idiot or not, but D'onta is 12 minutes younger.
  19. One year it was calves. Everyone's calves looked HUGE! And one year forearms were a thing. I think that that was when Wylie first came in. Now everyone's explosive.
  20. Shiplap, bitch slap. Waco's got something for everybody. Except maybe the Big 12.
  21. Nebraska could get that elusive 4th conference win per year.
  22. I'll watch this once it's been posted 20 times. So in like 10 minutes.
  23. Why do both kicker's look like coal miners?
  24. Texas has been in the Big 12 for a couple of decades without turning into midwestern corn farmers or Oklahoma meth addicts. I think we'll be fine.
