Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
I hope Mississippi State doesn't do anything on defense that Texas isn't expecting, like Sark said Kentucky did, because that's not fair. Perhaps lawyers for Texas can send Miss. State admin a letter before the game warning them of legal repercussions if they try any of that shit. Also, Texas should alert Greg Sankey's office.

The Most Disappointing Season, or the Greatest Comeback Season Ever?
- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
You talk endless crap about one of our former players. Apparently, that isn't hateful enough, so you've expanded the argument to include his political beliefs as a key reason to dislike him. And yet, you continually try to convince us you're not a hater. Okay, glad that we got that cleared up.- Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
How embarrassing is it for Texas that Napier's team beat the Longhorns and he STILL got fired for sucking?- Michael Taaffe wants you to stop being such fucking pussies.
I wouldn't put too much into what Taaffe said. I think he was 100% just sticking up for his quarterback and good friend, and taking the heat off of him. Plus, he's a Sip.- Arch Manning: Scores every way possible

And not even good craft beers.- Michael Taaffe wants you to stop being such fucking pussies.
Not actively recruited by D1 programs Came to Texas as a walk-on. (It may have been preferred status, but walk-on regardless) Earned a scholarship Earned starter role Made plenty of good plays and has been a ball-hawk Yes, Taaffe has exceeded expectations- Michael Taaffe wants you to stop being such fucking pussies.
Both things can be true. We can just be glad Texas got a win while suffering a letdown against a very determined Kentucky team, and be upset that Arch missed some important throws, Ant missed a sure fumble recovery with a bungled scoop-and-score, and a veteran WR runs out of bounds to kill the clock. Perhaps the key takeaway is that Texas has improved to a point where they can routinely win games they used to lose.- Texas vs. Kentucky - 6:00pm on ESPN

My new favorite quote. Reminds me of a bumper sticker a friend dreamed up: "Christians aren't perfect. Just better armed."- Texas vs. ou - 2:30pm on ABC
Dude, it's his third season with the Horns, but you keep harping on a pointless detail. What the hell? More importantly, you've changed my perspective on Baxter by reminding us he fumbled. Now I view him as a hopelessly bad failure and wish him nothing but unhappiness. I'm so sorry I spent time with him. Thanks. Love to buy you a mocha latte if you have time.- Trump Decides Cristobol Columbus Needs A Reach Around (The World).
I bravely sailed today across treacherous Pugent Sound in a ferry to our family island home. The view from the porch is incredible. I have to paint the interior in preparation for (hopefully) selling it. It needs remodeling with a bulldozer.- Texas vs. ou - 2:30pm on ABC
While this season is not complete, this is the third season he is on campus. He played for Texas three seasons ago when he started against Bama as a true freshman. He played in the playoff game vs Washington and had 64 yards rushing on 9 carries and 1 TD. More importantly, he's a cool dude and I want him to win. I can't imagine how hard this is for him. He could help the team if he was healthy.- Trump Decides Cristobol Columbus Needs A Reach Around (The World).
“…some other euro would have…” But they didn’t. He did. You can’t give others credit for something they didn’t do. Hence, he receives and deserves the accolades. I personally don’t care about the political discussion here either way. As a history lover, I was responding to the posters who are trying to negate his achievements, which were extraordinary for their day, and kicked off a golden age of exploration, because of today’s conventional wisdom. The fact that he was brutal by our standards doesn’t negate his achievements, just as the brutality, human sacrifice and cannibalism of the Polynesians and brutal raiding culture of the Vikings doesn’t negate their achievements. i leave you with this actual funny quote from one of Pizzaro’s captains about why they came to conquer the Incas. “We came to spread light into the darkness. And to get rich.”- Trump Decides Cristobol Columbus Needs A Reach Around (The World).
Sure those things are very impressive, but they don't negate what Columbus accomplished in any way and neither had 1/millionth of the impact that his voyages achieved. But sounds like you're ready to play the popular game here on Surly:- Trump Decides Cristobol Columbus Needs A Reach Around (The World).
Many tried before him and none came back. He was the first to succeed, and he did it four times, so yes, it was an incredible achievement in its day.- Trump Decides Cristobol Columbus Needs A Reach Around (The World).
Being that it was good 'ole Spain, I bet the crown was far more upset about the corruption charges (not getting their cut) than the cruelty charges. Plus, he had many jealous rivals who wanted to take over his position and gains. Regardless, he was pardoned and the king permitted him to fund his final expedition to the New World. And while the Spanish conquest was cruel, so were the indigenous peoples they conquered, as evidenced that it took Cortez around 15 minutes to gather lots of tribes to fight the Aztecs, who were pretty awful themselves.- Trump Decides Cristobol Columbus Needs A Reach Around (The World).
Perhaps you should explain your theory instead of just disagreeing. Yeah, he kinda used the stars and dead reckoning: "According to Columbus' logs, he mainly used dead reckoning navigation. Dead reckoning was a method in which the navigator would measure the distance and course from a specific point, such as the port." - Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
