  1. Which one of you did this? https://x.com/boardgeniuses/status/1714314073486266712?s=46&t=MsOmit7KPSN_GzST9Rcfdg
  2. Not 100% sure the Mack hire was one of the greatest if I'm honest. Sure he was able to out recruit the rest of the conference even with BloU and dick eater winning it all in 2k, and he (or GDGD depending on who you ask) was also smart enough to GTFO Vince's way and let him do his thing. Colt was one of those QB's who go to Okie Lite, Baylor, K-state etc and light people up...but he was fortunate (as were we all) to land on a Texas team that was still stocked with talent from the VY days. Other than that and some 10 win seasons based on our talenting teams, was he anywhere near the coach Royal was? I mean, if you take out Bijan's three 7-yard runs, 19-yard run, 9-yard run, 13-yard run, and 10-yard run, he was a pedestrian 52 yards rushing on 12 carries against the Packers. Certainly not on his way to ROTY.
  3. But we weren't too talented and deep to lose to 0u. 0u's roster is usually right there with ours and vice versa, and Texas-0u is a different beast. I agree Texas should have won this game, but it's one of two where the opponent has the same talent level Texas does. I don't necessarily think Sark will change his nature so much as I think having players around who won't let it hinder them is what makes the difference. Love him or hate him, Ewers is a good example. He broke Colt's completion record (what's the new record? 21 consecutive?) and was a big part of why Texas is on top with 1:17 to go after a -3 TO differential with its starting center out due to injury. Doesn't matter. Fuck me for seeing something different.
  4. I'm not saying it's not a big deal--Hell, I didn't watch any college football after that game--but it hasn't pragmatically been the same since 2017 when it became the two highest win-percentages in conference that went to the CCG. For much of the past several decades after a loss to 0u, Texas would have had to hope for two teams to beat 0u when it was generally the case that only Texas had the talent to beat 0u. Now, win out and play 0u again on another neutral field. Barring injuries, I still think this team is too talented and too deep to lose another game. And to be more specific about the point someone else was trying to make, with CFP there's always a chance. 2014 tOSU lost to No. 8 Va Tech. 2015 Bama lost to No. 15 Ole Miss. 2016 Clemson lost to UR Pitt. 2017 Bama lost to No. 6 Auburn. 2021 Georgia lost to No. 3 Bama.
  5. Texas 47 - Okie Lite 28 Texas 40 - aggy 29 So...VY did not account for whatever the fuck he wanted to win by, man, or he would have pounded everyone by 50. My point was that 2005 Texas doesn't beat 2023 Texas by 31 points. There's no way 2023 Texas is the equivalent of 2005 Missouri or worse than 2005 CU, 2005 Okie Lite, or 2005 aggy.
  6. So...you're saying 2005 versus 2023 is just bad matchups or what? I'm having a difficult time believing 2023 Texas isn't way better than 2005 Missouri (-31), would be a toss-up with 2005 Tceh (-35), and would likely lose to 2005 CU (-25), 2005 Okie Lite (-19), and 2005 aggy (-11). With the 2005 schedule, I'd say 2023 Texas is 10-1, maybe 9-2. 2023 Texas is faster and quicker than 2005 Texas (yes, they are and I would take Brooks over any 2005 RB except Jamaal Charles, and I would take Worthy-Whittington-Mitchell over sophomore Limas-sophomore Billy Pittman-freshman Jordan-freshman Quan) and that would keep them within two TDs. Take VY out and 2023 barely beats 2005, but you're right that VY is worth +14 by himself...so I say final score would be 35-24. The real hypothetical question in my mind is if you add Bijan back to this team, would anyone be able to stay within 3 TDs this season? I think no. I'm not trying to say 2023 Texas is scary good, but they're pretty fucking good and 2005 tOSU is a good example of a team that was pretty fucking good (and finished #4, having lost only to the eventual National Champions and a horribly underrated Penn State team).
  7. Like look, man, you're arguing that Worthy isn't special because he might be 1/12 of the dudes that run a sub-4.4 or even 1/3 of the dudes that run a sub-4.2. Maybe sit down, have a beer or two, and meditate on that argument quietly, man.
  8. I hate the fuck out of our fans sometimes. You'd think we were 0-4 with blowout losses to Rice and Baylor, Ewers was on his 17th INT, and Worthy was still in the parking lot dicking down SpiralOut's mom.
  9. This is so laughably wrong, it stopped being comical halfway through.
  10. They did. Everyone did. Our playbook was the size of the Greater Houston Yellow Pages, but GDGD famously had a quick reference with about 15 GDMB-approved plays on it taped to the front that he defaulted to constantly. 0U was on of the few teams we couldn't simply out-talent in that span and they knew all 15 plays and when we liked to call them. It was painful.
  11. Jesus fuck. Fuck this day.
  12. Pimped out a cheerleader? Don't all college programs do that on the down low? Except us. I mean, surely the Texas Angels just give tours, am I right? Edit: Fuck Baylor. Wholesome murderers and rape-enablers is spot-on. Deserve may have nothing to do with it, but those two stories should rightfully follow anytime "Baylor" is mentioned. "Congratulations to Baylor on their men's basketball national championship following consecutive decades of covering up a murder and institutional rape culture where no one's daughter was safe while attending."
  13. Look, I'm telling you there's no evidence that there are pictures of Chip Brown orally pleasuring a transsexual Filipino prostitute in an alley in Manila.
  14. I’d intended to do something with it but it was easier to transport this way. Then when I finally got it through customs I thought it looked better like that.
  15. Kind of. It’s a half cape. The rest of it is on the wall.
  16. Here’s the other ‘94.
  17. The ‘94 is a Winchester. It belonged to my grandfather. It’s my favorite. I also have a carbine with a round barrel, but I’ve beat it all to shit over the years. The SA is a Uberti 1873 knock-off in 45LC. I would love to own an actual Colt, but every time I decide to grab one I somehow end up with a suppressor or a black gun instead.
  18. Here you go... ...and for comparison. Stock is in position 3. Brat might approve. Maybe.
  19. This is probably the wrong place for serious opinions, but here goes anyway: I'm looking to sell a custom AR and not sure how to value it, so I was hoping to get some serious opinions as to what you all think it's worth. Platform is a Noveske N6 Gen 1 chainsaw upper/lower/BCG, with mostly Troy components/furniture (13" Bravo quad Battlerail, folding tritium sights, Battle Ax CQB stock, sling mounts, muzzle brake, etc.) but exceptions are Giessele 2-stage trigger (think it's the SSA), Ergo grip, BCM Gunfighter 3B charging handle, and EOTech 512. Parted out it's probably worth $1,750-$2000 give or take, I'd guess. Brand new, I think it was about $2700 before the EOTech but that was four years ago and I don't remember. There's maybe 50 rounds through it and not a scratch. I just never really used it. Noveske still sells the Gen 1 u/l and complete rifles. What do you all think? Is it worth $2500? More? Less?
  20. The Searchers would like a talk with you.
  21. And that's part of the problem. Those are all great movies, but Goodfellas and Pulp Fiction are barely in the discussion for GOAT list, and L.A. Confidential isn't. That doesn't change the fact that they're still great movies, or that the 90s were a great decade for movies. Out of the 90s you have Schindler's List, The Silence of the Lambs, Saving Private Ryan, Unforgiven, and The Shawshank Redemption as likely the greatest movies of the 90s, with only Schindler's List being part of the discussion for top 10-20 GOAT, then you have Forrest Gump, Dances With Wolves, Titanic, Goodfellas, The Sixth Sense, and Pulp Fiction in the discussion for honorable mention. So anything since 2017 that approaches Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, and L.A. Confidential? Probably. Maybe you don't think so and maybe you disagree, but I'd put The Dark Knight, Inside Out, Boyhood, Mad Max: Fury Road, Zero Dark Thirty, The Grand Budapest Hotel, I Am Not Your Negro, The Big Short, and Inception, maybe a few others, in the discussion for honorable mention GOAT--not top 100, but worthy of mention.
  22. How many universally-regarded "great" movies are there? Maybe it's just bizarre to think that every decade will produce one of the 10 or 20 greatest American movies: Casablanca (40s), The Godfather (70s), Raging Bull (80s), Citizen Kane (40s), Vertigo (50s), Gone With The Wind (30s?), The Empire Strikes Back (80s), The Shawshank Redemption (90s), The Searchers (50s), 2001: A Space Odyssey (60s), Apocalypse Now (70s), etc. Then there are non-American produced films that are worthy of being all-time greats: Shichinin no Samurai (Seven Samurai), Bronenosets Potyomkin (Battleship Potemkin), Tōkyō Monogatari (Tokyo Story), La Règle du Jeu (The Rules of the Game), Ladri di biciclette (Bicycle Thief), La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc (The Passion of Joan of Arc), etc. The 2000s had some great movies: Memento, The Dark Knight, The Incredibles, The Departed, No Country For Old Men, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, There Will Be Blood, Children of Men, Mulholland Drive, LOTR: The Two Towers (more like all three films together, but if you have to choose one...), Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Silver Linings Playbook, City of God, etc., that were each worthy of consideration among the best 10-20 of the decade, last twenty years, maybe quarter century...but not necessarily of all time. That doesn't mean they aren't great. Likewise with the 2010s: Inception, Django Unchained, Manchester by the Sea, Gravity, Inside Out, Boyhood, Dunkirk, 12 Years a Slave, Zero Dark Thirty, Birdman, The Big Short, The Wolf of Wall Street, Argo, Toy Story 3, Skyfall, The Avengers, her, American Hustle, etc., again worthy of consideration for great films of the last 20, 25, or even 30 years. Again, not necessarily of all time. Still doesn't mean they aren't great. It's kind of like the thread about the the greatest basketball players of all time. James Harden and Russell Westbrook are great, but are they even top 50? Probably not, but that doesn't mean they aren't great. They're easily top 50 of the last 10, 25, and maybe even 30 years, but not all time. How many current players crack the top 50? Lebron, KD, Steph Curry, Chris Paul, Kawhi Leonard? And of those, how many are top 10-20? Lebron and KD? Doesn't mean Steph, CP, Kawhi, etc. aren't great. Every decade has produced 10-20 great movies.

  24. Same here. I don't think they knew what they had on their hands, even though they had some really great content. Jump to Lightspeed might have been the greatest expansion of any MMO ever. When I was waiting for my bar results I went to Alliance Master Pilot with Havoc, then changed allegiances and went to Imperial Ace so I could get the Jedi Starfighter, then went back to the Alliance and did it again for the Crimson Phoenix badge.
  25. I tried for about a month a year or so ago but the bugs and omissions made it unplayable for crafting. Has it gotten any better?
