  1. TIL Gnarly is narly is nearly.
  2. If I were bankrolling a team, I'd want information in return, and it would have to be information that Vegas didn't get.
  3. Is UT paying Mack Brown?
  4. No. 9-3 means no CCG, and we're not in with that record. At 10-3 with CCG game, win or lose, we might get in. Def in with a CCG win, even at 10-3.
  5. For you non-rugger types... Rugby scores five for a try that succesfully is touched down. The conversion kick scores two. Penalty and dropkicks score three. A try and a conversion gets you seven, just like American Football. Conversions are harder in Rugby, because the ball is placed perpendicular to where the touchdown is accomplished, so a TD near the corner means you're kicking from near the sideline, thus 5 is not at all unusual score.
  6. Rent fucking FREE... and you have no idea what's about to happen to you when those horns go down...
  7. Count me in on being pleased - and not surprised - at seeing Niblett looking like a football player coming out of the backfield. Been waiting to see him there. Hope it stays on track.
  8. Story I heard was that Mack saw him as a DB and told him so. He wasn't interested, and there was no offer.
  9. FUPM (allegedly) telling Manziel and Griffin that they were going to be DB or WR and not offering a solid shot at QB was definitely vintage Mack.
  10. Squints didn't have uncles with Super Bowl wins, but his dad held - and I believe still holds - the record for Super Bowl Futility, i.e. FIVE Super Bowl Second Place rings, albeit only carrying s clipboard. Be fair, though, his dad was the Cal QB who kinda sorta beat John Elway when the Stanford band marched onto the field while the game was still live and let Cal's rugby kick return score the winning TD.
  11. Aussie Rules, or footy, puts a huge premium on accurate punting, both distance and direction. Dickson was - and is - masterful at those. In footy, the ball is moved best by punting to your own team. A ball caught before it hits the ground is the target, and Dickson regularly put the ball inside the ten yard line where the return man would let it go, hoping for a touchback, but a Longhorn would be there to down it. PM Banks and Bouwmeester.
  12. Spinal stenosis is inheritable. Doesn't mean for sure, but definitely possible. I'm only offering a possible explanation. I assume he's been thoroughly checked out, given Cooper's history, but it still seems possible. I mean, the throwing woes are coming from somewhere... you would think, though, that if it were evident in practice we'd already be changing things. Adding Caldwell sure seemed strange at the time (unless Owens and Lacey were seen to be total shit).
  13. Exceptions included?
  14. Rent. Free. Rent. Fucking. Free.
  15. If you had told me Friday night that tOSU would score only 14 points, I probably would have bet my hat, ass, and suitcase on Texas. It's a damned good thing, because I'd be a bareheaded, no-cheeks, empty-handed fucker. At least I still have a hat and a suitcase...
  16. Welp... There it is.
  17. It looked to me like there were 5 on or a half-step back in the middle, two more backer-types a step or two back, in the middle, and two dbacks on each side, also close to the four receivers. Figgered the receivers could delay the guys covering them enough to give Arch and CJ (or Wisner) at least a step or two. Of course, if it failed, you were trying too hard to be cute, but if (when) the sneak failed, your team just didn't execute the sneak.
  18. With the 5 on 3 lineup in the middle, 10-Wedge is never going to make it. I was thinking (especially after the earlier example) that the brilliant play call would have McJaggerson and Endries assault the guys guarding them, and Arch would roll left with Baxter out front and keep or throw it depending on how close the one or two defender would come. I appreciate the desire to man up and stuff it down their throats, but 5 on 3 in the middle pretty much says Nope.
  19. Miz Long's lawyer group has a guy asking for Media Lawyers who are willing to be interviewed for his UT Journalism school daughter's project. How about it? Let me know, here or PM.
  20. Years back, Arky had a goal line specialty back who was high-jump track guy. With the D-line going low, the O-line did, too, and the ball carrier went up and over, six feet high... not a hurdle, but a high jump. Seemed to work pretty well.
  21. He said in an interview it was his goof.
  22. A wet bird neve flies at night.
