  1. Sturgill's ACL taping is on Monday. Giveaway link is here: https://acltv.com/tapings/. Actually went to my first ACL taping a couple weeks ago to see Carin Leon while he was in town for the festival. That venue is awesome, the show was great, and I would be incredibly stoked to see Sturgill on that stage (even after catching him at the fest), so fingers crossed and if anybody wins with an unused+1........
  2. Brother that's a win for the LG, I don't know what you're on. He got "pushed" back like two steps then anchored. Strong rep.
  3. 3 interceptions and got 7 points out of it. And at that only because Jahdae had a hell of a return on one. The defense was fine. Completely let down by their counterparts.
  4. I got big questions after tonight. Took my time hopping off the bandwagon but I'm just not sold on the dude at this point in the season. There's a number of college QBs that Sark can make into stars with good blocking and a solid run game. Quinn isn't pushing that ceiling unfortunately. And yes his deep ball is not reliable, to say the least. Luckily for us there's not a lot of Dline that can whoop out ass like that, but when the time comes to make the playoff, we're going to be praying for "good" Quinn.
  5. I heard that shit too. And his knockoff fucking henchmen of ill-educated clowns who not only failed but got one of themselves killed in the process. They knew exactly what he meant when he said "patriotically", to them that's a incendiary word, absolving them of any decency because they get to hide behind the flag instead of uplifting and strengthening it. Selling their souls for a grifter.
  6. Ran into this little breakdown last night, thought it was really interesting. Been hearing about the shift to position-less since last year, but cool to see it in action. It's obvs not exactly position less, because Wemby needs to be positioned around the basket on defense at all times so he can lead the league in blocks, but being able to switch 1-3 and hound mfers into submission should be fun to watch. The interview quotes with everyone seemingly bought into the defensive intensity is also great to hear.
  7. Sturgill was about as good as I could've hoped. Glad I finally got to cross him off my live list. What a band and what a bunch of musicians.
  8. I love this part of the season. Because it's the obvious antidote to the "they haven't played anybody yet" nonsense. You don't know until week 4-6 who is who. And our resume just keeps looking better (much like last year imo).
  9. I was just talking to a friend a couple weeks ago about a mutual connection (late 20s) from one of those Mexican families who "runs logistics" for his daddy's company (goes out every night, fucks off every day and spends all his money on vices from the apartment his daddy pays for). Idk why it took me so long to realize that nepotism breeds mamones in whatever country you're from. They might dress better but they're not reinventing the wheel on privileged lifestyles. Work ethic and instilling values is going to breed "respectable" human beings no matter how you dress them. Not every slapdick in a blazer is worthy of adoration, surprise surprise. hell aggy has plenty of grown men still whooping and donating money to their fake army, what the shit do I give a fuck how a stranger dresses.
  10. This is unfortunate. Was definitely my plan, but now I can hope to have sufficient signal to stream on my phone.
  11. Saw Jungle at the Moody Amphiteater Friday and it was a lot of fun. It will be very hard for me to pass on their ACL set after having that great of a time, but Vince Staples had a great album this year.... . Decisions to be made. Probably taking the Glass Beams rec for Sunday since I don't have much I'm dying to see before Sturgill. Geese seems like they'd be cool but that's cutting it close to kickoff and there's no decision to be made there.
  12. I can feel like he can take a bit too much time making progressions, but when the o line gives him time, he's going to make the right decision. Quinn is ahead on processing time, but Arch's footwork and pocket maneuvering in only his 2nd year was incredible today. That crossing route he hit after shuffling away from one defender..... He's got the technique down.
  13. Likewise. I've been a Longhorn football fan for as long as I've watched football, and a Longhorn basketball fan for as long as I've watched basketball. Last year I watched as little basketball as I ever have because the majority of the starters (and overall minutes) were transfers. Rentals. I dont know exactly what that information did to me, but I care a lot less now. I think what keeps me into football is that the rosters are too big and Texas talent is too fruitful for it to lose its connection to Texas, so we at least will always have a handful of guys that love representing their state and grew up wanting to be Longhorns. Shit, even Arch is as faithful a longhorn as any, wanting to be here even as a child. I know I'm being naive placing my own Texas/UT pride into these kids, but knowing that some of them share that with me is a huge selling point for me personally.
  14. Exactly. Gabriel might be a B+ NCAA QB, but you gotta take a kid (grown man?) with that much experience that can steer the ship. QB and O line rely so much on experience, ask the Mannings, that's why they're fine with Arch waiting his turn.
  15. Having 3 running backs playing is technically good depth. We have 3! The depth itself is indeed, good!
  16. Sure as shit was. I wanted to be a fan of Traylor since he was a Texas guy and had a lot of supporters in his time here. People rooting for him to be a Texas HS football success story.... but after hearing that he let Denver Harris on his team, and seeing how they played on Saturday, it's becoming clear what kind of program he's building down there, and I'm out. We'll see how lucky he got having Frank Harris in his 5th, 6th and 7th years of NCAA experience running that offense for him.
  17. Brooks is just a guy. Zeke is just a guy. Deuce is just a guy. Cooks is just a guy. These are our non-CeeDee weapons. To be protected by two rookies starting on the offensive line. What a shittastic off-season.
  18. I'm only 10 minutes into the OP video and (honestly after minute 1) I can already connect the dots to that other video of the plant manager praising his Haitian workers and saying how they don't have drug problems and actually show up to work........ and every Springfield resident he's interviewing. That woman with black lipstick complaining about the Haitians getting government payroll and she can't find a job..... trick it looks like nobody on your porch has laid off of a needle in the past 6 years, that might have something to do with you not having a job.
  19. I assume people took that tired (false) notion that we were complaining about teams taunting us with Horns Down in the Big 12, and fans now think our feelings get hurt over it. I throw my horns up because 1. I am a Longhorn 2. I have pride in being a Texas Ex and Longhorn. They throw it down because they want to show they despise my mascot/team? I guess. What you think about my team and school is really none of my business.
  20. Popping into the thread to see what the temperature is like for these semifinal matches. I hadn't watched tennis in about 20 years since I was a kid watching the Williams sisters play at Wimbledon during my summer boredom (at my grandma's house where only broadcast TV was available). The girlfriend is a big tennis fan, and seeing as It is undefeated, I found myself invested in Wimbledon this year, and now following along to the U.S. Open. And rooting for Americans, fresh off the Olympic bug. Tiafoe is my favorite to watch (to these untrained eyes). I had forgotten how much talent is on the court as well. Doesn't hurt to watch Sabalenka, Paolini, Badosa, etc. But obvs I'll also be rooting for the American women today.
  21. The story isn't over. It's written in the stars. ND's cupcake schedule is going to get them matched up with us in the playoffs and we're going to smoke their asses. Shortly after taking a midfield shit on EA Sports' "toughest place to play" in the last game of the regular season.
  22. Weigmann sharing Dave Campbell's cover with Ewers is going to age as stupidly as Reggie McNeal (or whichever of their ass QBs) that shared the cover with Vince.
  23. Jalen Milroe and Jalen Hurts were triple the QB that dude will ever hope to be, and we did fine against them. That was a different coach and different era. We're going to push the shit in of that Big 10 offense and then run our speed all over them when we get it.
  24. Colorado down 3 at halftime to an FCS team, and looks exactly like the 2nd-tier early 2000s Big 12 team they were last year...... But all the talk is about how incredible Shedeur is and how the fucking kicker gets his own entrance music. ESPN really going to hype them up until that 4th loss hits before November.
  25. THIS is the extra sugar Kool-Aid I've been waiting for all offseason. Something of substance to get me hyped up for the season. Could make a huge difference in our defense going from good to great. A lot of the 9.95er-speak is the same "camp battle" gibberish that is easy to skim through, but hearing a senior defensive lineman is growing into a leader and impact player is something that transpires at Texas fairly often, we need it from Collins and/or Broughton this year.
