  1. Who else are we going to schedule on short notice in the SEC when we get our 4th non-conference game scheduled intentionally during the last half of the season? It won't be Notre Dame or Ohio State. It won't even be Texas Tech.
  2. I'm so sick of this "controversy." Anyone who knows anything about College Football knows that anything involving bowl selection and playoffs is a rigged beauty contest at best. The Miss Universe pageant is a more objective process than bowl selection is. The ACC games the system every chance they get. Did you see the non-calls that were happening during the ACC Championship Game? 8 team conference schedules. Mid-season FCS games. You name it, they know the game and they play it just the same as Texas and OU play it. It's so fucking insincere.
  3. That was the slowest sack ever.
  4. I mostly agree with you. I do think a focused Texas team should be able to handle Okie Lite, but I don't expect it to be a perfect game. If the scheme and execution is on the same level it was against Tech and ISU, we should win. Our defense is good enough to keep us in any game out there, but the offense would need to click perfectly twice in a row for us to win two playoff games.
  5. So we're distinguishing between Chili's lovers and Salt Lick/Matt's El Rancho lovers?
  6. Your kids are going to hate the wait at the Salt Lick. I'd hit up the Chilis on 45th and Lamar instead. The ribs are better anyway.
  7. I have a friend who got fired from the Travis County DA's Office as a prosecutor. He complained too loudly about Garza's progressive policies, particularly the one about not being able to offer anyone more than 20 years in prison. He prosecuted child sex crimes, and half of his indicted cases were for continuous sexual abuse of children where the minimum sentence is 25 years. Getting rid of Margaret Moore for that tool was a huge mistake.
  8. They must be falling out of your pockets then...
  9. But would you kick her out of bed?
  10. PK is the real deal. I'm amazed at how many schemes and combinations they switch in and out of. They rolled out a 4-3 to start the game at Baylor that we'd never even seen before.
  11. That's partly because half of our offensive TDs have been from outside the redzone. It's a weakness but not as bad as it looks. We are much more explosive this year than in years prior.
  12. Analysts can't be on the headset. That's what separates them from being coaches.
  13. I mean, if we're looking for modern theme songs...
  14. I thought aggy's inferiority complex was bad, but sandaggy is taking it to a whole new level.
  15. You're forgetting the charming metropolis that is Waco, Texas.
  16. I don't disagree. Nothing has ever been equal in college athletics. Schools don't compete on an equal footing in athletics or academics. It's always been one big status game anyway, before the money got so big.
  17. Beat me to it.
  18. This was intentional and according to plan.
  19. Sweat staying back for another year was a huge win for the defense. Collins hasn't lived up to the hype, but I'm glad to have him in the rotation. To write off either is foolish, particularly when they'll have as much or more help at NT and EDGE to support them than we've seen in previous years. The defensive line will be anchored by Sorrell and Murphy anyway, and the rest just need to be competent to match last year. Throw in an improved pass rush with second year Burke and Finkley and the raw talent of Colton Vasek and Anthony Hill, and hopefully all those QB pressures start to result in more sacks. This seems to be the plan, and I don't see how it won't result in similar results on run defense with a chance to improve our pass defense up front. ILB will be the same or better with Ford at Mike and your-guess-is-as-good-as-mine at Will (same as it ever was). You can nitpick individual players, but I think there's plenty of room for optimism for the defense as a whole. You either believe that PK, Davis, and Choate can coach this combo of talent into a serviceable front 6 or 7 or you don't. I choose to believe they can. Combine that with what appears to be the most talented secondary we've had in recent memory, and I see a defense that has a floor that we can win the Big12 with.
  20. That was before he had a monster HS senior season in 2020. Here's what his UT Bio says about that year: Gained 3,849 yards from scrimmage and scored 65 offensive TD's (70 total) as a senior; helped Hallettsville to a 13-3 record and a Texas 3A D-I state runner-up finish.
  21. None of this matters. Sark has two years to bury Seven Win Steve for good, or he's gone. The ability to replace him with equal or better once we're in the SEC is so much better than when we were stuck in a 10-team Big 12 that everyone believed was destined to be carved up like the PAC was this summer. We've transformed the athletic department and facilities part of this equation as far as it will go. The recruiting is as good as it's been since the last time we had a dynasty. We go as far as our coaching will take us from here on out.
  22. How does this benefit either the Big 12 or the TV networks? ESPN would be better just renegotiating the ACC contract.
  23. Here we go again in October. The PC tongue-twister re-re-rebranding is back. I really thought "Showdown" was a decent compromise.
