As a psychologist I have been working with people dealing with depression for 20+ years. It's a real disease. It doesn't go away through willpower. Fuck Tim Crowder up the goat ass for spreading this bullshit nonsense. It's not only dishonest and inaccurate, it's dangerous to people who are dealing with depression.
I don't know anything about Tim Crowder's history with what he calls depression. But if he says he kicked it because he stopped "believing in it," then he didn't have depression.
Would you say that if his depression comes back, he is going to be extra screwed when he can't will his way through it? I truly hope that does not happen to him though.

They always suck off OU and Iowa st is flavor of the month, no surprise. Kerstetter and Overshown should first team but whatever
Kerstetter and Overshown are coming back from injuries. Make no mistake about it though this team is loaded...with potential. Guys will step up. Pre-season superlatives are just a list of the known commodities.

Why is LONGHORNS not centered? And why is the field striped for 105 yards?
You're either bad at trolling or you couldn't take the time to read 20 posts up. Be better.

Yes I agree. But like it or not we are recruiting against them and I was interested how signed up on the roller coaster the Athletic was. They on it! I'm pumped!
I hate when Texas starts getting all this fucking hype then I'm disappointed, I'd rather have the guys get no credit and no hype then break though and show up big.
Agreed. I'll say it a different way. Historically, us and aggy are rarely good at the same time, but IMO we are more likely to also be good when aggy is good than vice versa. The only caveat is that our national brand is much stronger when we excel, but aggy's SEC participation is changing that somewhat.
-
The difference between aggy potentially making the playoffs and ou's playoff performances is that aggy only cares about participation. They could get stomped and they would still sell commemorative souvenir big gulps like margaritas at a Mexican resort. Other than them winning anything of consequence, i could care less how they do. Our performance has much more potential impact on their future than theirs has on ours.

He’s not calculating percentage of total yards returning on offense. It’s overall returning production, so it includes OL, defense and special teams as well. Thus, when you just lose RBs, you can still return 95% of your total production.
That makes more sense, but some positions need to be weighted more than others then. A prime example would be the talent that returned for the 06-07 season. With VY, that team would have been even better than 05-06. With Colt, we were just solidly good.
-
So the % calculation is a head count more than it is based on actual production. Or they had 32,720 yards of total offense last season.

I thought I'd read on here that Louisiana had lost their leading rusher. Or was that Arky?

Deadass like 5 years after high school we found out our DARE officer was arrested for selling drugs.
Talk about a great cover but terrible marketing and sales strategy.

Definitely rooting for Vanderbilt here. But I probably won’t watch. I just don’t want to look at any more people from Mississippi on TV.
I don't know man. They had us outnumbered 6:1 on the babes in the crowd count.

Anybody wanting to fire Pierce is being an emotional woman. None of ya know the bigger plan or who he doesn't trust in the clutch.
If we had won, we would have done it with a doubled hit count. That's not going to get it done.
I'm cheering for Vandy. I'm sick of pretenders who think they can put the horns down in our face. Very few teams can get away with that shit.

My daughter applied for Teach For America and on the question about ranking where she'd like to do the work, her reply on the application was "Place of Highest Need", thinking she'd wind up in an inner city school of somewhere like Los Angeles or Detroit. Nope, she got accepted and sent straight to the place of highest need - the Mississippi Delta.
Teaching 3rd grade there, she got punched twice and stabbed once by students. Her whole class got to witness one of their classmate's dads get murdered in front of the school at pick-up by another student's father.
You have to be able to pass a statewide reading exam in the 3rd grade there or you can't advance. She had a 13 year old, several 12 YOs and a bunch of 11s and 10s. I flew in directly once to visit her in the shithole tiny town she was in before her stint was over and spent half the day in the class with her kids. These people are flat out fucked for life. There's not a single redeeming thing about that state's rigged school system. "Attendance" is legitimately one of the main goals of the public system there by 6th grade, so it seems apropos for a school name.
My daughter's class had 90+% of the kids pass the exam in each of her two years, and she's nuts, so she volunteered for a 3rd year mentoring stint and did the same. I couldn't fathom staying there for any stretch, much less 3 years.
Tell your daughter that we thank her for her service.

It's sad that nothing surprises me anymore. I still love sports and college football most of all, but it just isn't the same as when I was young and blissfully ignorant. To hell with Bo and all on his side and prayers for the victims. May they be taken seriously and not harassed for speaking up.

Abmas isn't getting a lot of NBA love. My bets on him
That would be incredible. Dude's a scoring machine.

We've done a good (potentially great) job at filling our biggest position group needs of edge rusher and linebacker. Also, roster limits set a cap on how many transfers you can pursue and Sark clearly had a priority and I don't think we missed in many players we went hard for. I haven't gone through the top 50 list, but are there many we should have tried harder to get?
Its happening (stadium renovations)

Damn. That would have been cool.
