  1. I've been all-in on the 2026 kool aid since a few weeks ago. This offense started clicking when Arch's leash was let up a bit and they let him let it fly. I know at this point they are all excuses, but I also see them as reasons why our offense took so long to get going this year. 

    Arch needed time to marinate. He went from yips to navigating the pocket and delivering dimes like his uncles. His confidence clearly hit its high later in the year. It will climb further. 

    Wisner is a Dog. I feel like we can win with him, but we need someone better than the 2025 version of Baxter to take 6-10 carries/game. Clark, Simon? Wisner can get us Ws though. 

    The O line wasn't figured out until way too late. Hutson and Robertson on the inside was passable, but unfortunately do to injuries we had Stroh and Brooks trying to tread water there for weeks. Baker needed time to marinate as well. I'm stoked that we have two tackles returning next year that I am satisfied with, that is a luxury. The inside is going to need more talent. Maybe Brooks develops into a passable guard, when he's more refined and not being asked to learn a new position on the job.

    The WR room can get better next year through competition. We have 2 5-stars waiting to push the upper-classmen next year. Mosley is talented, and I liked what I saw from him. He missed the first 4-5 games of the season and really came on late. He's a gamer. Wingo, for all the heat he gets, was easily still the most productive receiver on this team by a long shot. His stat jump from his 1st to 2nd year has him looking like he'll push for 1,000 yards next year, wonder what his legacy will be if he improves just a bit on his stat line of 50-770-7 this year. We gotta find a possession guy we can count on (Mosley?). if Wingo was our 1, maybe our offense looks much better with him as 1A with a solid 1B elsewhere.

     

    I'm not worried about the offense at all. I only see IOL and RB as having needs, and i'm not sure how they get worse next year. We've already seen the injury effects of those this year. Add some talent, Sark. Having Arch as a seasoned starter is going to take care of a lot of the little shit. Nearly all the receivers are coming back, and we have two solid tackles to take care of the SEC edge rushers. Patch up the inside (c'mon Brooks and Cruz, develop), and let's go to work next year. 

  2. That game winner that Fox missed a few weeks ago, when they didn't give Wemby a look, seems like eons ago. This is why he's paid the money. Harper looked great, Barnes is still Mr. Reliable. I knew we needed vets, but didn't realize they would make this big of a difference. Barnes and Fox have been great stabilizing forces this first half of the season.

    Hearing him slur all over his mouth full of bullshit at 1:32 was worth the wait. Yeah ok grandpa. You're just the smartest big man to ever walk around these parts big guy, those doctors just proved it giving you an IQ test, go tell everyone.

    Had a crew of aggroids behind me. Their whooping is the most obnoxious ear piercing squeal of stupidity.

    The 2 INTs in a row cause me to dance. So I got my revenge making them watch me shake my fat ass in their faces.

    We had one that kept banging the bleacher bench (yeah poors I know) and getting the ones in our section to whoop. Luckily I didn't have to hear that shit not one time after their crew of dorks walked in a straight line during halftime.

  5. Not sure what my favorite part was of the game experience tonight...

    Listening to Mar-cel Reed! Chants going into DKR and hearing our fans mockingly chant them afterwards,

    Or the satisfied feeling I had after the 2nd INT when I started pointing to the tunnels for the ags in our section.

    Lamb, with his 7AM puke in a Las Vegas hotel, is looking like a bad influence on this team.

     

    Hate to break it to you, but he's always been a bad influence on this team. He can talk a good game and teammate, but he doesn't actually live it. This isn't the first year he's had a case of the drops. It's not the 2nd either. And him being unclutch and dropping passes in big games is nothing close to a new phenomenon. At his absolute most "locked in" he's a Top 8-ish receiver in the league. But locking in requires focus and attention that he doesn't possess.

  7. Got to catch the last 10 minutes, I'll take credit for that Barnes heater.

    Officially on Sochan watch now. If he goes another week shooting over 40% from 3 (he's at 53% for the season), there's no way he can stay playing less than 20 mpg, right? I really just want to see him continue to fight for his rotation spot. If he unlocks another level, fucking perfect.

    And you know what us libs say?  Let the chips fall where they may, prosecute the guilty, D, R, L, whatever.

    There's some citizens who refuse to bend their moral and character standards for who represents them and their country, votes be damned. And there's others who cuck themselves in the name of fealty to billionaires, just praying that their guy remains in power so they can pretend they have a piece of it.

  9. I enjoyed it.  A little slow, and came off as wanting to be "True Detective" at a few points, but I actually appreciated the somewhat tight bow at the end. As happy of an ending as you can have. Really found the land stories interesting (and a bit hard to watch) because that's pretty much exactly how it used to get told in South Texas re: the acquiring of land for the King Ranch. First thing that came to mind as that part of the story unwound. 

  10. Oh and Wemby has to have the ball at the end. I know GSW started to double team in the 4th, and Wemby isn't exactly trustworthy dribbling (or passing sometimes tbh), but it still feels like you gotta get him the ball and draw something up off-ball for Vassell or Fox. Not just pray that Fox bails you out of that 4th quarter.

  11. I hit the pen in the middle of the 4th and it kicked in right on time. I'm at peace with these losses. We're not Top 2, and probably not Top 4 in the West. Thats fine. We're going to compete. We're going to be better in February. 

    This team is still in dire need of someone else to set an offense and hunt the mismatches. Fox is not a true PG. We knew that. 

    Wemby just threw up two below average games like a week ago. Fox has played 3 competitive games in almost a year. He can easily settle into this season and give us the 22ppg we need from him. 

    Perimeter defense and turnovers. The story of the first 12 games of the season. We can work on those things. The Warriors ain't getting any better, they will go as Curry's injuries go. We were always going to have to learn this season. These were lessons.

    Y’all are building yourselves up to get let down. I think we lose this one by 14. Too many things have to go our way and we just haven’t looked like a team that can play a complete game… particularly on the road. 

    Motherfucker you think this is our first time? It's expectations you fear? As a LONGHORN?

    Oh gee I never thought that maybe we're just not that good and maybe there's a chance we won't win the national championship this year. Maybe if I just rearrange my expectations.

    Follow up question for JD:

    How do all of these poor and undocumented minimum wage workers snap up all the houses whereas an employed college educated citizen can’t scrape together a few dollars to buy a house?

    So now that deportations are happening bigly and by the millions in numbers nobody has ever seen before, when can we expect the housing market to cool and prices to come down to a reasonable rate for middle-income Americans?

    ‘Scary’: Joe Rogan Warns America Is ‘On the Way to a Bona Fide Civil War’

    https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/scary-joe-rogan-warns-america-is-on-the-way-to-a-bona-fide-civil-war/

    Not quite sure exactly what he's saying based on the article. We're going to have an "over-correction to woke, far-left ideology." Um, isn't that the core of what MAGA has done since Trump hit the US political scene. And I also really love how Rogan uses the Kirk killing without acknowledging that road goes both ways, my man.

     

    "It really makes you think." "Nobody wants to ask these questions, somebody should be asking these things". Oh yeah really good points Joe Rogan, wow I never thought of that, such insight. What intellect. Real journalism here. You ask such brave questions. 

    The overcorrection is etched in this country's history, you fucking mouthbreather. Stop surrounding yourself with Morons and you'd realize these questions predate you. Which is surprising considering you're only 50+ yet have a caveman's idea of intellect.

  15. Looking forward to seeing some big time games from our big time guys. Simmons and Burke are peaking right now. Hill has been making impact plays all year. These are the guys that can change the game imo. Maybe sneak in a Taaffe interception after Stockton gets flushed and makes a stupid throw across his body.

  16. I've been annoyed with Rogan since Alamo left the Ritz and he took the property with his Spotify money. I'm a pretty big comedy fan and was stoked to see Creek & the Cave open up, and I'm been to Cap City a handful of times over the past couple years. I don't fuck with the need to feel like I'm part of the frat though, and Mothership just feels like a frat house built with Rogan's Spotify money. I like a decent amount of bigger and smaller (touring) comics that appeal to me because they're funny and have interesting things to say, when I've tried to give Kill Tony a chance I feel like I'm watching clones try the same edgy bits. Not for me. 

    I do also feel like the hype has died down and the comedy scene is moving on from him trying to make this city the mecca. NY and LA will always have their scenes. I'm also happy that places like Cap City (and even Creek & Cave) can continue to fill rooms with touring acts though. It seems like comedy as a market is completely fine here.
