  1. LOL at comparing to 90’s & 2000’s jerseys. The old helmet decal color matches the color of my 1969 jersey. That is the color that DKR teams wore. Made it harder to tell who actually had the ball. It never matched the official Pantone color orange. It was closer to brown than the variagated oranges used today. It was definitely not the OSU orange on our turf today.
  2. Count your blessings. My comment was tongue in check. The great scourge of Chicken Pox comes years later when you are subject to Shingles. Shingles is caused by reactivation of CP virus which attacks nerve groups causing painful rash that often leads to permanent nerve damage. If you have had CP, make sure you get the Shingles vaccine. Hopefully, Covid doesn’t have a similar complication years later.
  3. At their age, they should go the Chicken Pox / Herd Immunity route. The whole team should be immune come start of season.
  4. Canceling spring ball guarantees return of Herman for 2021. Built in excuse: ”We didn’t have a chance install changes in spring.”
  5. Wonder what would happen if some schmuck like me, with zero coaching experience, signs up? Tuition is < $1000. Would prob be better spend than season tickets. I might be the next Mike Leach. (Without the sense of wit)
  6. well . . .different kicks, points after, overtime rules, and quicker play clock. Not to mention the double forward pass. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/xfl-rules-overtime-kickoffs-explained-nfl/1if7a6vb6kb271966993zxdynx
  7. Roughnecks: June Jones bringing the Run ‘n shoot back to Houston. XFL is supposed to be geared to high scoring play. What rules are they tweaking to do that?
  8. No to Urban. No way.
  9. I’m all for poking fun at aggy, but the root of that is not ag lore. It’s from the Bible. ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭27:17 ESV) Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.
  10. . . . and change the jersey color to match!
  11. From parking lot at Matt’s . . . Texas!
  12. Looks darker on my TV. Last vestige of burnt orange left with the new helmet stickers. #old man rant over
  13. ‘Cuse orange is more burnt than any of the orange on our stadium, field, or uniforms.
  14. Maybe check the link next time monkey boy. Different article.
  15. I’ll just leave this here: http://apple.news/AkPVqS7L8RI6JV7aGbv0qig Probably standard practice in small town UIL football, but you think he would tread a bit more lightly. At least for a year or two.
  16. They removed the white space. It must have been white privileged.
  17. So which is the new version? I can see the difference, but I don’t detect an improvement.
  18. What is wrong with you people? All these pro players, get outta here. Steve (Wooooo!) Worster. 1st Wishbone fullback. Cotton Speyrer on the the all-time name team: Happy Feller. Tied with Rooster Andrews for best kicker names.
  19. I can’t believe it took 3 pages before this phrase appeared. Turn Smokey over to the engineering college. Let the nerds fire it.
  20. I thought this thread was going to be about Fertitta. It is the off-season . . . 🤪
  21. Oh crap. Not this crap again. We can’t wait a couple of days for the off season? And this is not a good thing.
  22. Prophetic words. Seven pages in . . . TL;DR
  23. This right here. Boyd is apparently the best we have. That is why he draws the toughest coverage assignments. That also means that anyone else on the team would be a drop off in performance at this point in time.
  24. This is Surly. You are going to have to be more specific. AP matches that description on several counts. So does anyone that equates every instance of spanking with child abuse.
