  1. Interesting. I put my upper deck seats on StubHub at over $100 each on Sunday before boarding a plane and they were sold by the time I landed. Edit: Austin is looking at thunderstorms tomorrow. I’d guess it’s the weather.
  2. Might have something to do with some guys playing with the Falcons, Bears, FAU, and Purdue now.
  3. In the past tense, on a podcast recorded earlier this week. Greenspoint’ed
  4. This state is such a depressing, miserable backwater sometimes. Good lord.
  5. Not a value judgement but a self described political organizing account with Maalik Murphy as the profile pic and gassing up the backup QB is a weird juxtaposition.
  6. I’d agree except Zach Wilson was banging every GM’s mom and had leverage Quinn won’t
  7. On the plus side I’m feeling a lot better about K State now
  8. Truth is somewhere in between these. Quinn is not elite at hitting guys in stride. He constantly sails the ball and even in completed passes receivers are often skying for the the ball. NFL throwing windows will be a problem for him. He’s had several fortuitously dropped picks that would be caught by NFL defenders. He’s also not a JAG. I mean, in the not so distant past we were watching Ewers from last year, Hudson Card, Casey Thompson, freshman Sam Ehlinger, Tyron Swoopes, etc. As Texas fans we should know a pretty good QB when we see one because we have seen plenty that aren’t.
  9. So Oklahoma has a Michigan-level sign stealing operation that led them to be able to decipher Texas’s signals in real time on the second play of the game - and apparently so sophisticated that they know not only the play but what WR the ball is going to, because they left Worthy wide the hell open on the other slant - but I guess forgot them afterwards as Texas proceeded to rack up 500+ yards of offense despite three turnovers. That’s more plausible to you than Ewers making a dumb throw on a play Texas has run in an opening script before?
  10. Rice with two wins over Houston this year
  11. The average American definitely does not understand tax brackets. The amount of people who think getting a raise could be a net negative due to taxes is astounding.
  12. I’m not voting for SJL in the general. I don’t like the idea of an ancient, career politician who hasn’t worked at the local level in decades coming in and taking the job as a vanity gig in their last stop before retirement. In the runoff, when that is both of the choices, yeah the “I probably want to be on the other side of the aggy belt, Mattress Mac, etc” line is admittedly appealing. I also think Whitmire’s record on crime goes way too far toward cruelty. Garcia seems okay but I need to to more research.
  13. Got around to watching this, or the rest of it after 21-0 anyway. I thought the defense was actually pretty good the majority of the game, just gave up a few too many chunk pass plays which are basically attributed to PK evidently thinking the middle of the field is hot lava and Kitan Crawford simply not being very good. Tough game for Terrance Brooks too. Unfortunately this handful of plays turned a pretty nice performance into a mixed bag. OL was pretty yikes. Rest of the offense played pretty well. If you complained about Ewers checking down you’re dumb. Sure looked like Houston got fucked on the spot there at the end, maybe even twice. They had the 4th and 1 and botched it though and they got away with plenty of holds so fuck’em. But I think we can probably put “Big 12 refs will do anything to screw Texas” bit to bed. As it has always been, they are just incompetent.
  14. Texas fans and taking pride in the football program taking their money for a consistently underwhelming product, name a more iconic duo
  15. The world is truly upside down if I have to say this - @Wulaw Horn you are being are irrationally negative about this game. BYU isn’t very good at much of anything. When they have the ball they will not be able to run and the Texas defense will not be hyper focused on QB contain like they were against Houston. There will be a lot of third and 6+. Slovis is not a particularly accurate passer and Texas will probably bring some pressure on obvious passing downs. They’ll hit a couple chunk pass plus because everyone does against this shit secondary (lol I remember being ridiculed for pointing that out early in the year) but they aren’t going to amount to much unless Texas just gives them the ball in scoring position several times. They are a bad defense against both the run and the pass. They can choose which place to put themseves at a disadvantage but they cannot both stop Texas from running the ball and cover the WRs. I imagine they will elect to fortify the run defense and try to make the backup throw a bit. Murphy will probably have a few head scratchers, a few wow throws, and reside mostly in between. But Texas will have too many advantages on offense not to score plenty. Texas: 30 BYU: 13 Texas Passing attempts/yardage: 25/202
  16. Really thought these takes would wait until after the BYU game at least
  17. Don’t be stupid. The entire reason he is going to go into the draft is that he will not be a third or fourth round pick. He is unlikely to fall past the middle of the second round and could easily be mid-late first. Any injury concerns are a reason to take your chances in that scenario, not to “prove he is durable” in college as if that’s something under his control. If he ends up getting a 3-4 round grade I do imagine he comes back but that does not appear to be the consensus’s opinion right now.
  18. This whole time I thought the Mart Weiss thing was child porn or something.
  19. 9-10 wins is pretty optimistic. I mean if you told me Sark was going to consistently win 9-10 in the SEC I’d take it without hesitation. That’s near annual 12 team playoff contention and playing for some SEC championships if the standings fall fortuitously. Really any higher bar is unreasonable. Texas is going to win 9-10 this year then trade Baylor, Houston, BYU, etc for rivalry dogfights against aggy and piggy, plus additional heavyweight games against Bama, Georgia, LSU, etc. And OU is still around. Texas probably reverts to 7-8 wins next season. Beyond that I’d love to get to where you see things going.
  20. Yes unlivable eval on the #1 in state, top-10 national QB, and national top 100 composite prospect. Real diamond in the rough there. Hard to imagine Murphy in Herman’s offense
