    Texas also only beat TCU by 3 two weeks ago and Oklahoma beat them by a gazillon.  How far are we going to play this game?

    AS LONG AS IT TAKES

    j/k we’re probably on the outside looking in depending on something surprising 

  2. He deserves respect. Took over a program wandering in the desert after three coaches brought it to mediocrity.  What he’s done to get us here is worth celebrating and support. 
    I’m glad to see those that didn’t are now on board.

    I like Sark.  My only real beef is that I think he should hire an OC/play-caller.

    It's a nit, but I'm just not a fan of HCs also being coordinators.  

    I understand that. It’s just not in his DNA. I’d like to think that as he gets “beyond 50” he realizes that and brings up someone that gets his playcalling duties that he can trust. For now it’s him and I’m okay with that.

    I don't recall the players as cohesive as they are in regards to the last three coaches.

    Things changed immediately after year one with Sark, i.e. Bo Davis rant.

    Bo Davis going off like he did would have been a bad look on the head coach in years past.

    Sark is different and I believe he genuinely holds his "second chance" to heart.

    For everyone that doubts him, or hates him/dislikes him playcalling, well, look at the team perform.

    This team does not fold when faced with adversity. 

    They just keep on.

    So....any parents that are contemplating sending their children to the University of Texas to play football and get an education, should watch this.

    This is our coach, folks.

    Impressive dude. Great coach. Haters can indeed fuck off.

  5. The Martian. It’s a movie I always stop to watch when scrolling. It’s fantastic beginning to end.

    Team America Matt Damon always cracks me up, but the dude was outstanding in this movie.

    It’s kind of bullshit that Oregon didn’t fall after their last second loss while we did.  

    I think it’s more we looked like shit for a good portion of that game while I thought Oregon looked better than Washington in theirs. Surprised WU pulled it out.

    I don’t give a single fuck about sark and the only reason I want him to have a championship is because he coaches the longhorns. If he got fired I would never think about him ever again. 

    JFC dude what is it with your constant shitting on the guy. He’s not perfect, no coach is, but we’re fucking 9-1 and moving in the right direction as a program. Did he pass on your invitation to the fucking tailgate.

    What thread did that Wyo fan get banned on awhile back? Think he was wishing injury on one of our guys or some shit. 

    He didn’t wish injury more of a “that’s what you get for transferring,” when Neyor was hurt.

  9. Listened to a podcast recently about the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.  Nothing has changed with the Red Army.  They threw infantry into a meat grinder without pause, carpet bombed the country with artillery, killed hundreds of thousands of civilians without care, atrocities, soldiers fragging, etc.  Same with Chechnya.  It's in their DNA, they can never be allowed back in the global community without some catyclismic change within Russia.

    What was interesting is how the war ended.  Gorbachev opened up the news to allow Soviets to read about what was actually happening. The mothers of those killed went apeshit vocally and the pressue internally became too much to continue.  The number of those killed?  15,000 over 8 years.

    We are now at what, 10x that in Ukraine in 2? I understand Putin has locked down dissent, and he's the polar opposite of Gorbachev, but that kill rate cannot be sustainable for Russia without some serious internal blowback that affects this war continuing as is.

    Sad day but it was time

    Why was it time? Ignore if personal just interested as I’m putting the Mach 1 up for sale shortly. 

    I enjoyed the work to put it together. But having it sit and not used doesn’t seem right.

    Please give me suggestions on how to sell 6 60's and 70's era VW's. One would likely drive home with battery and maybe tires replaced. 3 would need battery, tires and some interior (the seats are removed but available). 2 are essentially parts cars. They are parked on some land I inherited.

    I've always thought about going to a naturalization ceremony and I've just never done it.  Shame on me.  

    You should. Buddy of mine became a citizen, auditorium got dusty.  I’ll paraphrase what the judge overseeing ceremony said:

    My great grandparents came from Ireland with nothing. They worked hard to give my grandparents a better life. In turn they also worked hard to give my parents a better life. I then watched as my parents worked to provide me, an only child, the education needed to attend law school, the first in our family to attend college. I consider it an honor to stand here before you, as a United States judge, to welcome you as Americans. I’m confident you will also follow the same path as my great grandparents and work to ensure your children’s children may stand where I am today.

    My dad was not much of an advice-seeker as he trusted almost no one to work like he did, and with good reason because no one I have ever met had his work ethic. My mother is the polar opposite and she seeks it and freely gives it out. I am probably somewhere in-between the two of them, but more calm like her. 

    Lean toward your mother here. You seem like a good, sharp dude. You’ve been given great advice here,  if you want to damn the torpedoes and move ahead, Godspeed. Keep that checkbook stocked.

    And most importantly, post pics.

  14. The QB suck is the hand, the OL suck is the glove. They are inextricably intertwined.

    That pinky ring there in the shape of a turd is Tommy Rees.

    I’ve been reading TideFans as a game accompaniment. Welcome back to Earth motherfuckers.

  15. That was fun.

    Mildly embarrassed this morning. We watched the game at some friends that are Alabama fans. I got pretty drunk and by the second half every time we scored I acted like I had two six shooters at the hip and fired at them like that Miami dude in the Cotton Bowl tunnel.

    Oh well at least I didn’t pass out and shart myself. Next time.

    What the fuck as it with all the balls bouncing off or through the hands? Had to be almost ten times.

  16. I liked to sneak into my older brother’s room to read his National Lampoons.

    One of the letters stumped me: Hey, my National Lampoon came in the mail, and it took an hour for the mailman to clean out his bag!
     

    Figured it out later.
