We don't know what a methodical passing attack looks like. We could be killing them if we had a clue
I remember when we had QBs with 70%+ completion ratings and TEs that could always be counted on to move the chains for us. Seems those days are long fucking gone.

Sam just itchin' to throw a pick.

Holy shit he actually threw a ball away! Progress!

Holy shit is this what it's like to get bailed out by the refs?? I like this
Did T. Boone Pickens suddenly become a Longhorn fan?

Our special teams are so fucking bad. USC player came through completely untouched.

We got away with one there. That was 100% a safety.

Kid still doesn't know how to throw the ball away.

Yeah, we're looking at four wins this season. If we're lucky.

Pretty sure probation is off of the table in this case.
Yeah, I had a nice chuckle at that last line.

Texas radio host admits sexually abusing kids, paying $45,000 to have prosecutor killed
McKINNEY, Texas – Chilling radio broadcasts with the voices of an admitted pedophile and his victims were played in a Collin County courtroom Thursday. CBS Dallas/Fort Worth reports that Plano syndicated radio host, Dan Steffen, pleaded guilty to abusing four victims. "I'm pleading guilty because I am guilty," said Steffen.
But police believe there are dozens, if not hundreds, of others.
Steffen not only admitted to sexually abusing boys, but he also pleaded guilty to offering someone $45,000 to have his prosecutor killed. He worked as a radio host out of his home and prosecutors revealed disturbing excerpts from broadcasts talking about and to his victims.
The 70-year-old Plano man hosted a syndicated radio show for small stations across the county under the name Rick Austin. Steffen pleaded guilty to child sex abuse and attempted capital murder.
Plano detectives raided his home last year after hearing he was engaging in sex acts with a 16-year-old boy. "He had known him since he was about 10 years old," said Daniel Bryeans with the Plano Police Department.
Police seized a steel briefcase with more than 8,000 images of homemade child porn dating back 20 years along with dozens of photos of boys police have been trying to track down. Inside Steffen's home, he had a broadcast studio for his syndicated radio show.
Prosecutors played excerpts that include the boys voices and Steffen gushing over their appearance.
A Collin County prosecutor testified about her fear after Steffen tried to have her killed while in jail.
"I was frightened," said Assistant District Attorney Crystal Levonius. "I think I was more afraid for my children because they are all very young. Because I was aware of the defendant and I felt like he was the most depraved individual I ever prosecuted. I took him at his word."
Steffen could get anywhere from probation to life in prison when he is sentenced by the judge.

I heard him on Stern this morning, he’s understandly shaken by the whole ordeal. The strangest part, for me, was that Kimmel explained to Norm that women working on the Tonight Show were in tears about his appearance. The fragility in Hollywood is stunningly pathetic.
They were probably "literally shaking" too.
The more shit like this that happens, the more I'm glad I live in Texas where we don't put up with that nonsense.

Fifteen hours out in an oilfield setting up a service to a new well in 110 degree heat. Most of it on caliche giving a nice reflection of the Sun back into my face.
Dug the holes for the poles. Dropped the poles. Ran the overhead line to the well. Hung the transformer. Hooked up the transformer. Dug the ditch to the pump jack (Ditch Witch is winning). Laid the line. Installed the panel box. Hooked up a new motor and belts. For some reason it absolutely had to be done that day. Then the motherfuckers didn't even start it up for another week.
If I'd lived in an apartment I could have easily walked into the wrong one. Once I got in the door I found the couch and passed right the fuck out until the alarm woke me up for the next day.

I lost respect for her years ago when I noticed she NEVER, EVER gives credit to her opponents after a loss. It's always, "I played bad" or, "I was sick" or, "injured".
Yup. And let's not forget she has a history of acting like this at these events. Of course, since she's Serena, she only ever gets a slap on the wrist and the media jumps to her defense.
Just all around stupidity on her part. That judge is known to be a stickler for the rules. So play by the rules. Your coach admits to trying to give you help during the match and instead of just letting it go you act all self-righteous and go on a tirade. Then you break your racket. Then you start calling the judge a thief and continue to make a scene.

We all gave Charlie a lot of rope. And what did we get for that? A couple of 5 win seasons and a loss to Kansas for the first time since the horse and carriage was still a thing.
We gave Mensa rope last year. He didn't impress, but it was his first year, blah blah blah. And what did we get for that? Losing, again, to an even worse Maryland team dealing with all sorts of shit. And Mensa seems to not give a fuck. Then we barely beat Tulsa, only because their kicker is the worst guy at the position in college football. And we're going to be lucky to win six games this year.
So no, I don't think we're on a hair-trigger or out of line. We have the most money, some of the best facilities, and the top talent in one of the most talent rich regions of the country. Yet we're in Year 2 of Mensa's tenure and we're struggling with fucking Tulsa and Maryland is beyond us.

Mack was great at winning games we were supposed to win. College football is full of gimmie games if you're a top tier program. We rarely dropped those games until post '09. He couldn't figure out how to get the team ready for OU every year, but outside of that he was great at smashing the ants and getting to 10 wins.
Somehow, these chuckleheads we've been hiring since him can't seem to even figure out how to do that. You've got the best facilities in the state. You've got the best recruits in the state. You should be able to line up, not do anything fancy, and smash everyone not named OU on your schedule. Instead we're somehow losing games to Kansas and Maryland because the players can't stop tripping over their own dicks and they seem to lack basic football skills like tackling, blocking, throwing the ball out of bounds, etc.

Hey, Mac? Did you gain a little weight?

Trump was plenty nuts before, but after this shit? Omarosa turning on him is something he can blow off because she's a nobody, but this is someone high up in his administration, that is anonymous, who is actively undermining him. It's gonna eat away at him and the "Witch Hunt!" shit will pale in comparison to what comes next.
This can't end well for any of us. Either get his ass out of there pronto or ease the fuck up on him while you're working to get him out. Lobbing these bombs and making him even more paranoid while leaving him in the Office is going to lead to some really fucked up shit. You can't steal everything off his desk.

Nope. They'd be talking about ways to defend against suicide from two to the back of the head. /s

I ain't no QB coach, but it seems like the first fucking thing you should drill into your QBs head is how to throw the ball way the fuck out of bounds when the play isn't there. Sam never seems to have gotten that lesson. Dude just heaves it the fuck up, triple coverage be damned.
As bad as Sam is though, his receivers really aren't doing him a ton of favors. A couple of nice snags on misplaced/high balls, but the drops and nonexistent blocking are frustrating.
Yet for all that, Sam never should have been in that position in the first place. If you're a coach worth your salt, you know the kid is inconsistent (to put it nicely) and so you, ya know, stick to handing the rock to a guy averaging over 5 yards a carry instead of asking your QB to heave-ho it over and over. Guess that's a step too far for Mensa.

And SC has a true freshman QB and they stink.
I'll gladly take a win, but if we do manage to close this out I hope folks don't think that means we've turned it around.
