    Beto O'Rourke won 48% of the votes in his senate campaign and the doctor and nurses pointed and booed your mom's vagina when you came out of it. 

    The only political point everyone on this board agrees with is that Craig James sucks. There were a lot of twists and turns in the Beto story, but since I'm right and all you other fuckers are wrong, and I come here to get away from politics, this could go cloak room fast. I'm not the pope of this dump, but let's not spiral.

    I read somewhere, but am insufficiently motivated to look for it, that Earl feels bad for Robertson for the ubiquity of that video. He said that Robertson was a good LB and it’s a shame that his name is basically associated with that one play, now. 

    Can't speak to that, but I did get to meet both Earl and Robertson. Went to UT when Earl did, stayed in Jester, we said hi a few times in the halls, talked maybe a couple of times. I'm short, 5'6". He wasn't that much taller than me, but I swear his thighs were bigger than his waist, and he could damned near cover a coke machine if he stood in front of it. Met Robertson when we both went to a Bill Glass Prison Ministry visit. Got to talk with him some, there. Dude was huge. I probably came up to his armpit. Said he did prison ministry cause when he got in trouble after football nobody wanted to know him, and Hollywood Henderson was the only guy who visited, and it gave him strength to finish his time and make changes. Didn't ask about the Earl hit. He'd packed on some pounds, but I didn't want to poke that bear. About thirty years ago, my crew put out a chimney fire at Earl's house. No biggie, no damage, but he sent the station a case of Earl Campbell sausage.

    As with any coach, if he wins, it doesn’t matter what he wears (see Belichik and his cutoff sweatshirts). If his team is a loser or mediocre, he incurs the wrath of the masses (pun intended). 

    Weird thing on Belichick and the hoodies/sweats. The NFL was pissed cause they required coaches to wear NFL branded merchandise on the sidelines, and Belichick wasn't in compliance. He's always been an oppositional bastard, so he got the cheapest sweatshirt, cut the sleeves off, and started wearing it. It almost immediately became a best seller. IIRC, NFL apparel made a few commercials with guys working out in sweatshirts with the sleeves cut off, wiping the chalk dust off their hands on their chests, and throwing it down on a bench as a cushion for a bench press.

    People are acting like this was some 2018 Saints-Rams PI non-call and it’s not even fucking close. I think most of us here know this was just a horribly officiated game all around, had come to terms that we could rightfully lose this game because of how Texas played, and just hoped they’d get it going in OT, which they did. ASU had their chances and didn’t get it done. Case closed.

    Troof right there. Whenever either team loses a close game, some fans will grab that one call that didn't go their way and hang onto it, because the alternative is to admit they lost.

    Is it just me? Or did anyone notice Deions eyes during closeups and interviews tonight? Looked like his eyes were bulging out of their sockets. I think he was high as a kite.

    During the sideline shots of the coaches, Sitake looked focused, and you could tell he was making decisions. Sanders looked like a slightly disgruntled fan. 

    Giving Sanders the benefit of the doubt, there was a video before the start of the season, and he's had one of his toes amputated and said he takes a butt load of painkillers to get through being able to stand on the sidelines during an entire game. So, yeah, I think he may have been high as a kite. It was especially obvious during the interview before the game where the sideline chick was asking him about coaching his son for his last game. Someone else on the board called it fake crying, but I think he was having trouble formulating words.

    That might’ve been meaningless, but it was fun as hell 

    Hell's bells, man. All football games are exhibition games. It was a great game, you got the win, one of the coolest/funniest trophies, and beat the Hurricanes. That was a win for the Cyclones all around.

    The debate is going to fun. Cam is a quitter, the non-playoff bowls are stupid, college football is broken…yada, yada

    Iowa State guys played to the end, even though they ruined their original jerseys in the wash and had to buy generic uniforms on eBay before the game started.

    Has anyone ever followed up w/ Kayce and asked her to prove her assertion that A&M has more money than Texas in the years since that video has been posted? I'd be curious to see what evidence she'd present (incorrect as it would be).

    She'd do this and you'd agree with her:

    I believe that Cooper is our future
    Teach him well and let him lead the way
    Show him all the beauty he possess inside
    Give him a sense of pride to make it easier
    Let Cooper's laughter remind us how we used to be
    Everybody searching for a hero
    People need someone to look up to
    I never found anyone who fulfill my needs
    A lonely place to be
    And so I learned to depend on me
    I decided long ago
    Never to walk in anyone's shadows
    If I fail, if I succeed
    At least I'll live as I believe
    No matter what they take from me
    They can't take away my dignity
    Because the greatest love of all
    Is happening to me
    I found the greatest love of all
    Inside of me
    The greatest love of all
    Is easy to achieve
    Learning to love yourself
    It is the greatest love of all

    This is either the greatest or stupidest post in the history of surly.

    Bill Belichick's record without Brady is 83-101 (45%) ...he ain't winning shit at UNC.

    Most overrated coach in NFL history.

    Belichick is a great X & O coach who also happens to be a horse's ass. He needed Brady, cause aside from being an excellent QB that understood the first rule of winning is "don't lose the game with stupid ass hero ball (Bret Favre)," he kept the team together and soothed ruffled feathers. Belichick ran off competent players cause he's a jerk.

    NFL is a whole different beast. What is his recruiting going to look like? Is UNC ponying up big NIL to give him weapons? 

    Belichick loses more knowledge about coaching football every time he shits than Deion has ever had in his life. So if Deion can scrape together enough to be competitive in the shit Big 12 I don't see how this would be much different. 

    Deion surprised me because great players hardly ever become great coaches. Most of the guys who become great coaches were average to above average players, and they had to know the game intimately to make up for their physical shortcomings. Great players often depend upon their athletic ability, so if Deion got out of position, he had the speed to cover his mistake. I'm not saying he's a great coach, but he's outperformed what I thought he would. 

    What I have trouble seeing is Belichick being able to deal with a college environment, where players can walk. If he can convince enough 4 & 5 star players that he can get them ready for the NFL, he's got a chance, but we're living in a world where a lot of these guys will make more money in college than they ever will in the NFL.
