  1. Yes they were. The early line at my site was TCU -1. It flipped to Texas -1, then -1.5, then back to -1, settling before kickoff at pick.
  2. It's "Gerald R. Ford" and you're old enough to know that. In the future maybe let your wife proof your postings. . .
  3. Hate it in principle. Understand the five hundred thousand reasons.
  4. Fleek An annoying term used by annoying teenagers (see middleschoolers) meant to be "on point".
  5. Yeah, and last year's OL wasn't as good as this year's--or at least that's what we've been led to believe. WTF happened to our OL?
  6. That's what I thought--probably what everybody thought. Until this game. By and large, we couldn't open holes for the running game and 9 sacks is brutal in the passing game. "F-" in both areas. I guess time will tell if this game was an aberration or if we're not nearly where we need to be. (Still trust Hand waaaaay more than most of the assistants on the defensive side, and don't trust Orlando at all.)
  7. No, the criminally incompetent OL was the culprit. Playcalling didn't help, but damn few plays work when you've got half the DL in your backfield. (And, yes, get a real OC in here.)
  8. Relevant shortcomings have been discussed here, ad nauseam: poor tackling, lackluster playcalling, and others. And, yes, they're all issues of concern but anybody who doesn't see that a criminally pathetic performance by the OL was the number one problem in this game just doesn't know football. As for why, I don't have a clue. We weren't banged up, we had our usual group in who'd played together for several games now, we just looked like shit and, for the life of me, I can't figure out why. As inept as the defense was and as frustrating as it was to see us whiffing on Lamb, if you'd told me that the D would hold them to 34 points I'd have thought we had a better-than-even chance of outscoring them. Wang was . . . wong.
  9. It's just the "ou Game," period, paragraph. Some pencil-dick dork in some obscure advertising agency came up with what he thought was a catchy name for corporate endorsement. It's bullshit. We call it the "ou Game;" they call it, when their mouths aren't so full of dicks that they can talk, the "Texas Game." It's an epic, magnificent confrontation between two teams and two fanbases that hate each other more than they hate any other team/program. It's monumental in scope, most years has an overarching effect on the national playoff picture, and is the single, most important game on both teams' regular schedule. Don't demean it with some catch-phrase bullshit moniker that bad TV tries to sell you; call it what your father and your grandfather called it, and hopefully what your grandkids will call it: the fuckin' "ou Game." Now go out there and beat the livin' shit outta' ou! Goddam, I wish I was there.
  10. He looked pretty bad, truth be told, but you're right--he looked just as good as Mayfield.
  11. I haven't seen a Tech team tackle this well since J. T. King was the coach.
  12. Thanks for links. Why the fuck did I ask?
  13. Have %*##?! Dish. Anybody got a stream link on this?
  14. That's a disservice to Persian cats.
  15. Are we sorry to see Johnson go, given our lack of bodies at LB, or is it that he just couldn't play a lick?
  16. Picture-logo should be a firecracker exploding.
  17. It's my understanding that for each game that a player is suspended, he loses 1/17th of his annual salary. (Yeah, I know there's 16 regular season games, but 1/17th is what I'm told. Anybody with better facts, please chime in.) If that's true, this asshole just lost 13/17ths, or roughly 76.5% of his 2019 salary. Couldn't have happened to a nicer prick. Unless it was Briles. Or Sandusky. Or anybody from oklahoma.
  18. Like counting all that money he flat-out stole.
