  1. Texas Tech has had some solid uniforms, but Jesus Christ, when they drop the ball...they drop the fucking ball.
  2. UNC walking away from that ordeal without much of a scratch was absurd.
  3. You’re a dipshit troll. And a pussy for coming to a UT message board.
  4. Is this the Tech circle jerk thread? Fuck off with this shit. It’s getting way too chummy in here. Your best team of all time lost to fucking Ole Miss.
  5. Thats what I’m taking about! Let’s get these blue hair motherfuckers on their feet!
  6. I’ll probably be in the minority, but I think the old menu was substantially better. There were tons of items you could get there that were unique to the restaurant and couldn’t really be found anywhere else. Now it’s kinda more generic, contemporary place (like Frank’s) you can find at other restaurants in Austin. Just my 2 cents...
  7. Really? Like you go to games in Manhattan, Stoolwater, and Ames on a frequent basis... Give me LA, Tucson, Tempe, Palo Alto, Seattle, etc. and I’m making a road game or two a year
  8. We fit in like a glove with the Pac-12, actually.
  9. I propose we don’t fix the issue. Let this conference eat itself to death, and then we escape pod to a real conference with plenty of PR ammo in hand (in 2024?). This conference is a god damn joke and UT does not fit in whatsoever, culturally and athletically. I think UH would be a better fit for the Big 12 than UT.
  10. It was a few years ago... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1901_Texas_Longhorns_football_team
  11. You ain't kidding, I was sitting among them in club level for last year's game...they were friendly to us (nobody else wearing burnt Orange within spitting distance) in a very condescending way until we started stopping them on offense and made a close game of it, then the real froggy came out. Of course the condescending kindness returned when the game was decided.. Listen to Bill Burr’s Rose Bowl experience about TCU vs. Wisconsin. He sums up the TCU fan base pretty well
  12. I’m a mere plebe to the scotch game (as my budget dictates), but I think scotch is my spirit of choice. Currently I’m drinking Glenmorangie 10. Any suggestions on scotch that is around this price point? I want to learn more and be knowledgeable when it comes to scotch. Also I’m a big fan of Irish whisky and have been mostly exposed to the dew, Jameson, and bushmills. Any suggestions on that front as well?
  13. Gonna second this. You would’ve thought they had 6,7 Big 12 Championships on account of their smug ass demeanor towards UT fans. It will be good once we get this program running at full speed and mowing those pompous assholes down year after year. Those blowouts will never be erased from my memory.
  14. You can get a grape four loko and a grape 5-hour and reproduce something to a similar effect
  15. I think you hit the nail on the head. Completing x amount of hours at Texas A&M in order to get a class ring means more than your degree and/or professional accomplishments (major, resume, awards, etc.). Such a forward-thinking way of determining individual success!
  16. It's funny to think that once upon a time Cal and Stanford were the powerhouse programs for the state of California. Over time, USC kinda exploded and Cal and Stanford went to the wayside. Today, Stanford has enjoyed a wonderful little renaissance under Harbaugh/Shaw and can certainly stick around. Cal, on the other hand, seems to wither in a disarray. Which is sad considering they have produced incredible NFL talent, have a badass stadium, and are located in a bustling metropolitan area. But like mentioned earlier in the thread, if the admin. doesn't want them to succeed, then there's only so much a coach can do with limited resources when going up against Washington, Stanford, UCLA, USC, ASU, UofA, etc. All programs with tons of backing and a burning desire to be competitive in the business of big-time college football.
  17. Our athletic program welcomes actual members of the military for football home games as well. https://texassports.com/news/2018/7/3/texas-athletics-announces-seats-for-service-members.aspx
  18. You're not wrong. Their stadium is surrounded by US flags, they have an army of brown shirt-clad pasty skin heads, and their band moves about like a 1939 Berlin military parade.
  19. Why are aggy's so god damn infatuated with this university loyalty dick measuring contest? Who gives a fuck? In an era of big time college football, trivial things like graduating from a particular school in order to root for them is idiotic. Would you give somebody shit who is a UT fan but graduated from Princeton University? There are so many god damn Aggies (and a hell of a lot more on the way according to enrollment #'s) that graduating from the school really isn't anything special. Kinda the same for UT. Of course, it's awesome to graduate from UT, but you're still one of a shit ton of other people out there in the world with that diploma. Just my opinion...
  20. '10. Hands-fucking-down. '15 and '16 can be attributed to the program being dysfunctional. I think the players worked their asses off, coaches did what they could, but the whole thing just couldn't come together. '10 can be attributed to laziness from staff and players alike. The team overall looked like they could put on a Texas jersey and trot out there like they were the '85 Bears. Dudes got a harsh dose of reality. Hell, even the fan base was so brash and arrogant after '04-'09 that it extrapolated the amount of figurative ammo our enemies had against us.
  21. Dude needs to cut his hair and STFU. If he had some 1st, 2nd rounder NFL potential-then fine-act like a Clay Matthews clone and do your thing. But it's become cringe-worthy on account of how many times he's flown into the backfield, maybe got a loose grip of a jersey, and the ball carrier goes on his way unless there's somebody (Charles) to clean things up? Act like a mad man after making the big play, but you can't call yourself the "Prophet" when you're not a national statistical leader in any category.
