  1. Can live without pancakes. Damned good thing they went for pancakes instead of pecan waffles with maple syrup.
  2. "Experts Agree" "Four out of Five Doctors Recommend"
  3. Thank you for your concern about my welfare. Your concern is misplaced - I am not obsessed with losses, nor with wins for that matter. I would have thought that "a bit po'ed" would be inferred as considerably less tham "obsessed" It is gruntling to hear of your approach; however, you seem to be in a limbo of impatience. Yes, you can wait, and since there seems to be no realistic alternative (surely comatose is more likely but less appealing than time travel), I would counsel you to relax and... wait. Or not - but you do you. Hook'em
  4. I'm still po'ed a bit over our coaches coming out of halftime of the CCG and being surprised by UGa having a basically untested backup QB run the ball down our throats while our D apparently kept playing the same plan, i.e. "no wories, QB can't run". I couldn't believe no one noticed Beck getting his arm wrecked at the end of the first half, and maybe worse, how long it took to react to Stockton's running. Having Caldwell available if Arch goes down... not all warm and fuzzy, but better than a sharp stick eye poke. Absent information from spring, it almost seems like Trey might not've showed up like we would need. It's a tough act to follow - we seemed happier campers to have Arch behind Ewers than we are with Trey behind Arch. I hate the offseason. Hook'em
  5. Heze is an impressive specimen. I'd love it if he can block and catch as well as he bigs. Line him up at HBack and let him motion to wide side and either slip the block and be unguardable for the pop or lead Arch to the promised land.
  6. Big Charlie, Chucky the Hammer... whatever it takes.
  7. Apparently you thought incorrectly... at least, with regard to the "only" part.
  8. Ain't got a grip on it. one way or the other - not like yours, anyway. All I'm up to is pointing out how close it is, how fine is the line between winning and losing, between celebration and heartbreak. Some games the O puts us ahead with time running out, and then the D does or fails to do the stop and win... but some games the O has the last shot and does or fails to make the score and win. It's never just the QB who can't hit the pass or the CB who doesn't get a hand on the ball (or does, but drops it). It's the coaches, the staff, the players... and it's us, the fans. You should forget this shit and buy a few of the lockers - they'd look good in the big cabana at the far end of the pool, no? Wins and losses are
  9. Second and third sons' wives are Subaru drivers. Seem like decent cars. Ain't got a real opinion on 'em, myself.
  10. Nah. But, like Ol' Sarge, it's more Humble Oil and Refining Company daze.
  11. Even funner when we win. Win, and damn, we're that good already. Lose, and we're young, got some work to do and ten-plus games to get there.
  12. Fucking stupid. Win or lose, big games make us tougher and better. With 12, 16 or however many teams in the playoffs, a loss doesn't eliminate us.
  13. Ewers put the team in damn near identical condition. With even less time on the game clock, no timeouts, the D let 0U go 75 and a TD in what, five plays. Basically the same situation for Bama in Austin, although we only had a two-point lead to protect and couldn't do it that time, either.
  14. You mean my nephew? Yeah, little whippersnapper posts here sometimes.
  15. My four years at Texas saw the '61-'64 teams go 40-3-1. That record was made possible by the man I still refer to as Saint Darrell, and there is only a very small tip of my tongue in cheek when I call him that. Tommy Nobis was hands down the best football player I saw, before, during, and after that time. The only real comparison Texas has had since then is Earl Campbell. He never got to show off his complete suite of prowess in college, altough he was in HS probably the best LB in the state as well as nest RB... I would venture to say he would likely have been the best LB in college, too, if the game hadn't changed to unlimited substitution. There are plenty of arguments for Players Mount Rushmore, but the one name you absolutely cannot leave off is Tommy Nobis. Hook'em
  16. Nah - no more than I missed Age of Consent or (the above) Excalibur... I mean, the woman has a filmography a mile long. Man needs an Italian spaghetti bib to watch any of her movies.
  17. Kept an eye or two on Helen Mirren since ... O Lucky Man, Caligula, The Cook The Thief His Wife and Her Lover... one of the all-timers.
  18. It's worse than that. He often doesn't read his first read first.
  19. Man, it takes a LOT of bandly talent to not merely march almost in step, but also to play horns with no mouthpiece.
  20. When I was 10, staying with my grandma, I used to walk or ride my bike a little over a mile up to the highway, another quarter-mile to the liquor store and buy her an ass-pocket of whisky and a pack of Viceroys. And they'd gladly sell it to me and give back the right change. Sometimes I'd get the pennies' or even a nickel's worth of change in Bazooka bubble gum, penny apiece. And I'd walk back with that little brown paper bag. Nobody got arrested.
  21. Kohen = Khan = King
  22. Tell me you have no idea how manual shift transmissions work without telling me you have no idea what "shifting gears" means... Heh heh heh...I said "trans" and "missions"... like I know what the missions might be...
  23. Linoleum =/= Plastic
