  1. Personally, I was very confident four years ago. What doubt I had was purely 2016 PTSD. Biden's lead in polls was just too wide. We got a historic polling error and he still won. I'm not at all confident of anything either way this year. I'm def not biting on the anecdata about everyone's Republican friends adding up to be this huge chunk of defections to the D side. Like everyone else, we all live in our own bubbles.
  2. He was better today but not consistently good. A few really nice throws. Serviceable on a plurality of snaps; but the balance - way too much - was "wtf was that!?" Honestly he landed in that grey area where a coach isn't going to see enough to bench him but accomplishing big goals like an SEC championship or playoff run become hard to picture. You are right about the OL. By far their worst game of the year in pass pro today, Georgia included. I'd say they run blocked well enough at least except for the fucking holding calls that killed drive after drive.
  3. Texas is going to win a bunch of game with him and unless there's some improbable get right moment over the bye week, he's still not going to lead Texas to any hardware goals. To the extent there's ill will toward him in the fanbase that's underserved and those people should probably go find a hobby or seek therapy or something, but if this is what Texas is going to get out of him the rest of the season it will be time to move on. As planned, by the way. I think everyone, Ewers and camp included, knew that going into the year.
  4. The eyebrow raising thing today is that Quinn wasn't much better in terms of pocket presence and the OL was honestly worse than the Georgia game. Some of that is likely obvious game script - when you're starting drives 1st and 20 it tends to help the pass rush - but they drew those flags too. Good time for a bye week. Unlike Ewers I think the OL can get it together.
  5. I'm about 25 mins into the Trump Rogan interview. Rogan has asked just a few questions and basically just lets Trump ramble. And for the most part Trump comes off as harmless. Like your dipshit boomer uncle who is always embellishing stories and injecting hot takes to the point you just laugh and blow him off. obviously a lot of what he says is nonsense but that's always the case and Rogan certainly doesn't push back. Although as I type this Rogan is getting a little sycophant-y talking about how dangerous the job of POTUS is, especially for Trump. Probably not going to listen to this while thing because it's almost 3 hours. Did get a Kamala ad lol. I don't think this will move the needle much at all. Maybe get a few Rogan listeners off their ass to vote for Trump.
  6. I don't pretend to have any degree of confidence in how this election will go, but you've got some nerve coming to Surly and implying people spending their time posting on the internet are detached from reality.
  7. My b then. Can never assume on this board lol
  8. Well the alternative for the day is watching Michigan-MSU, not surprised people would rather stand in line.
  9. .500 would make you the GOAT as a MLB hitter or NBA 3 point shooter, and give your team a non-zero shot at the NFL playoffs (before 17th game). So 1/2 ain't bad.
  10. Texags grade cope. Impressive. lol it's a road conference game against a 5-2 opponent that's already beaten Alabama. Texas just needs to win the game. I think they'll do so pretty comfortably even if unspectacularly, but they just need to win. Bye week, Florida scrimmage, and another week of practice to sort out any hypothetically festering QB issue before Arkansas.
  11. Or if the line on a Texas game was set purely based on action from Texas fans.
  12. Those are good numbers in general and excellent numbers in the Rust Belt + GA. I've never paid close attention to the gender breakdown of the electorate, so I have no idea if we should expect that gap to close on or leading up to election day. NV is gone but it's the least important swing state.
  13. That's as attributable to this being a Texas board as anything else. Beyonce always helps though.
  14. I generally agree with this sentiment, but if Joe Rogan can't accommodate the sitting Vice President of the United States by agreeing to reasonable terms - whether that be studio security, acknowledging there are going to be some questions she cannot answer, arranging a remote interview, whatever - then he can kiss VPOTUS's ass. For the record, again, we have no idea if any of this happened because the source is the Travis County GOP clown. Your wife also listens to I've Had It, I see.
  15. Oh, and this shit too. So infuriatingly brazen and it will no doubt fly under the radar and be allowed to slide, if not expanded to all mail ballots.
  16. This shit. This shit right here. All of it. It's why this country is heading into a dark age at absolute best, regardless of who wins the election. Trump may or may not win, I honestly have no idea (gun to my head - he does, we simply cannot have nice things). But this shit is too far gone.
  17. Wow, maybe it is really looking bad for the GOP if they're doing this shit again. Probably less of the wealthier small donor base piece and more simply having more small donors; the GOP leans more on megadonors (relativly speaking - plenty of that money on the Democratic side obviously). It's already really hard to get a workable sample when you're spending days cold calling until you git your numbers. Trying to do that with the limited subset of people out voting early is even harder.
  18. I mean yes, this is obviously right (although food prices have and continue to fluctuate, and that includes downward at times, as they always have)... But the segment of the electorate that understands this or is even able to grasp the possibility is already backing Harris. That's not who she needs to win over. Also, yes, when asked in polling if they would prefer additional buying power through a wage increase or lower prices, Americans pick lower prices (even if that means passing up on income gains) by like a 2-1 margin.
  19. Has anyone ever seen @Helobious and Clay Travis in the same room?
  20. 1.) It probably is; 2.) I didn't say you were an idiot because you said Texas would miss the playoff, nor did I say anything about them expecting to. You are an idiot for thinking this team goes 8-4 all of a sudden because it got beat by what's been he best program in the sport the past three years. Yeah, Texas lost to Georgia decisively. It's genuinely pretty hard to imagine a deep playoff run or a national championship with Quinn Ewers at QB with what he shown the past couple weeks. That does not mean Texas is going to finish the year 2-3 against the SEC version of the Murderer's Row MS Paint.
  21. I really hope this is a bit because otherwise I'm concerned for how your family will handle your apparent cognitive decline. FIFY. Texas may have feasted on mediocre teams to get to 6-0 before last Saturday's wake up call, but what is the rest of the schedule if not mediocre teams? The only thing that adds any degree of difficulty is 3/5, and probably the best three opponents, are on the road. I picked 10-2 - I'd still favor Texas in every game left but just playing the probabilities they likely drop one somewhere. Arkansas or Kentucky if I had to guess but I don't really know aside from this: not aggy lol. However, I'd much sooner go 11-1 than 9-3.
  22. Would you mind toning down the aggy just a little bit?
