    ... focusing on the last 4 games of the season is foolish. 

    The last four games are the actual do-or-die ones. Lose to tOSU in August, not the end of the world, but lose to anyone those last four, and you go home.

    Arch is going to have 1 reception this season.

    Why only one? Pitch back early to the trailing RB/WR, run by the defenders and be wide open ten yards down field... Twice a game, minimum 15-16 games, gotta be looking at 30 receptions easily.

    I could hardly read my phone with them in. Close, medium, far... 

    Barely read? Fuck that. I'd kill to be able to see the screen at all, let alone read words and numbers on it. Between 20/300, astigmatism, wet AMD, and cataract surgery, I'm just happy when I can tell which plate has the bacon and which has the toast.

    I usually go with "I'm Texan".

    Quite a few years of foreign traveling, me. Any time I was asked if I were American (occasionally Canadian or German), I pretty much always responded with "I'm from Texas". That typically led to either "Bang! Howdy partner!" or "But Texas is part of America, no?" In the latter case, I just said "We like to let them to think so, but we're really separate..."

  4. Whorns talk about the 2024 game, but they never mention the truth.

    Truth: tu finished the game in next to last place, while the Fightin' Texum aggys wound up in Second Place! 

    Hard Truth: aggy D 7, tu D ZERO! Whorns got shut the f*ck OUT.

    Advantage aggy, Whoop!

    Yep

    We don’t want or need hero ball like Sam always had to do. Get to the National Championship game then go nuts. 

    We don't need to feature QB running, but we do need the threat to be taken seriously. That means at least one more player on D who can't concentrate on a runner or receiver because the QB will run right by him if he does. That needs to happen early, although not necessarily often. Not like we need to resurrect Split-T option calls from the Wishbone graveyard on the reg, but we sure as hell want to make opponents commit that one extra guy to Arch, even if we only run it once or twice.

    As far as the season, the big trophy goes to the team that can do what it takes to win the last four or five games in a row... whatever it takes.

    Can’t wait to see a healthy Baxter this year he was the missing piece from last year....

     

    Baxter or Clark aside - and, yes, an elite RB mighta pushed us over the edge - I think the real problem was having opponents able to show zero respect for the QB to do anything other than hand off or pitch/pass the ball, and to pay relatively little attention to the deep ball.

    Not a Mack issue these days, but if Arch continues to be who he showed us he is last season, our offense is going to be 10 to 14 points a game better. I'm not sure even Mack could find a way to fuck that up.

    I bussed tables for a year in college and spent a summer at a plant on the ship channel as a general laborer. I’d have killed to get a job as a valet. Underpaid? Sign 19 year old CTJ up.

     

    Old friend - in every way - a guy with enormous amounts of cashola in hand, once told me that the second-best job he ever had was Doorman at a high-rolling Atlantic City hotel. He knew all the big shots' names, always greeted them effusively and treated their "nieces" with great respect.

  8. The interview is as good a showing as I've ever seen from any coach. It's also a look at one of our great shows, from Third and Longhorn. If you've seen both this and any of their previous shows you already know this. If you haven't, you need to do so immediately.

    As a recovering Sark-hater, I'm gruntled to say that one of the outstanding things I see in him now is his willingness to own his fuckups, and learn from them.

    I'm surprised Sark never had an on-campus visit before he was offered the job.

    Fuck "on-campus". He'd never even been to Austin, and thought he would be in a larger version of Lubbock.

    I think we have Saban to thank for the hire, ultimately. Probably on both ends.

    Same.  I have a reoccurring nightmare about once every 6 months where I fall into a drain pipe with my arms pinned to my side and it slowly fills with water.  The water has never hit my chin, I wake TF up immediately.  

    You're working out unresolved issues relating to anal with your wife. 

    No worries, though, Surly can almost certainly help you with that.

    <RANT> Those mofos sitting at a green light staring at their phone can EABODs!  They get the horn instantly, and not the polite beep beep horn either. </RANT>

    Car manufacturers should have a volume control / tone selector for the horn, from "polite" to roadrage and baby-fart to 2x-cop-siren

  12. Just spitballing here... but, what about a nice art gallery where players athletes can display paintings, statues, photos and other various artistic works? Well, and members of the public can purchase said art... What does the pursuit of Art have to do with some "clearinghouse"?
