  1. The only thing Elko is boxing Sark out of is the Golden Corral buffet.
  2. Well, something's got to fill that Hall of Champions, and the Wiley Coyote collection was getting embarrassing.
  3. But he sure as hell has the stomach for it.
  4. They believe their own shit. They are salt-of-the-earth, homespun, honest folk. God's children. Austin is a den of iniquity populated by scum without honor. So, psychologically, they have to be better than us. Their whole worldview demands it. They have to have tried harder than us, we have to have cheated if we beat them, and there have to be conspiracies holding back their innate greatness. Otherwise, they're just a bunch of dumb rubes that everyone laughs at. It's a religious mentality built on absolutely nothing.
  5. I think we should since Vince is no longer eligible.
  6. A little sensitive, don't you think? Have a nice cookie and relax.
  7. But what about our wholesome, God-fearing, deeply strange, and cringy Yell Leaders? And our dog cemetery? And our collection of ridiculous, pre-World War II, mandatory cheers? Not to mention the opportunity to play soldier on a campus of Brutalist architecture that would embarrass a hard-core Soviet. And the elephant walk? For God's sake, the fucking elephant walk! And squeezing your left nut? How can all that not speak to the kids off today? Just you wait you degenerate Sips. The sleeping giant has awakened (clap harder all you lousy 2 percenters). Texas A&M has a great future and always will have.
  8. Mackovic wasn't a bad hire at the time. You have to remember our offense at the time was like something out of the Stone Age, had been for a while, the 1990 fluke aside, and the fan base was sick of it. Mackovic was brought in to fix that, and he largely did. His weakness was defense. Ironically, by getting fired when he did, he left the program in much better shape than McWilliams. The bad taste of that 4-7 season in 97 disguised a roster in relatively decent shape, which helped Mack Brown's regime get a jump start in 98. McWilliams left a total rebuild in his wake.
  9. Well, that's just part of being the hunted, right? People deliberately diss you on trivia questions. That's how you know you've arrived.
  10. Hmmmm. Los Angeles or fucking College Station? Congrats to Longstreet for not being a hopeless moron.
  11. It's simple math, right? You want two years out of Arch, and if his upside is as high as it looks, he'll definitely be gone after his RS Jr year. I actually like Quinn, but one way or another, this is his last year at Texas.
  12. Well, he did have to live there for a few years. I'd be bitter at that.
  13. Just because a line got written into a movie doesn't make it clever. Again, I'd lose it. Even if I was Billy Bob Thornton. It only sounds clever if you turn your brain completely off.
  14. "Hope in one hand and shit in the other, see which fills up first." ??? Is that supposed to be clever? I'll hope in my mind, like everyone does, and leave shitting in the hand to you. Hope you don't make a habit of it. Seriously, though, I'd lose that retort. It's all kinds of stupid if you give it even a nanosecond of thought.
  15. Yean, we hate our big wins. And if he was worth anything, Ewers would have thrown for 351 yards.
  16. Look, the coach appears to be set on Quinn. So that's done. Yeah, Quinn hasn't lived up to his hype. But he's not trash by any means. Just hope for the best.
  17. Not being an asshole on the Internet. Serious question. I think Quinn is a good college quarterback, not the awful cartoon figure caricatured at times here. But he seems more subdued, less sure of himself than last year. So, what happened?
  18. I disagree. Not saying he should replace Quinn today, but Arch damn well better be ready to be a full-time starter, because he will be next year. He looked like one when he played. even allowing for the imperfections game experience will iron out. Good God, can you imagine Quinn Ewers if he had Arch's touch on the deep ball?
  19. He's had a few games where he hits it, but yeah. Anyone else think Quinn has regressed a little from last year?
  20. We do have some good to great players. That doesn't make it our year by any stretch, even if Arch is QB. I've seen better Texas team's than this spit the bit. It happens. Just enjoy having a good team that's nationally relevant.
  21. Lighten up. I've seen a lot of years where Texas had a championship caliber team yet didn't win one. It happens. If you're tempted to lose perspective and melt down, Just imagine Charlie Strong and his merry pack of hapless coordinators trying to figure out which end of a football is up while truly bad QB play cements another ignominious Texas defeat. Man, we didn't even know how to execute the coin toss back then. Beating Arkansas 20 to 10 to go 9-1 while probably headed to the playoff looks pretty damn sweet by comparison.
  22. This. I've never seen a QB as good as Quinn can be who is more inconsistent with deep passes. That has to hurt his NFL prospects.
  23. Well, almost every ball is catchable if the receiver flat lays out perfectly at just the right moment. You don't, however, want to count on that, because it's hard.
  24. Excuse me, but isn't that always true of A&M. And it's not a compliment. They stumble so close to self awareness. Come on Aggie, take that extra step. Just one more, and then you'll be free.
  25. I think Jerry could cement his legacy by trading Dak for Daniel Jones. As an added bonus, he could keep the corpse of Ezekiel Elliott as the starting RB. What a stoppable force those two would be,
