  1. I'm hoping that was just a "designated survivor" type of situation. Leave 1 QB at home with a plane waiting on standby just in case Sam and/or Casey tested positive after traveling on the team plane?
  2. I live in Nashville, so I'm pretty well-informed with what happened. This whole thing is essentially the same thing that happened with the CDC story that went viral a few weeks ago. The one where many headlines read "CDC just quietly updated their statistics..." when in reality those statistics had been publicly available for months. In this Nashville story, the local Fox affiliate ran a story last week showing emails between the Mayor's office and the Health Department from earlier this summer in which they discussed hiding data that proved local bars and restaurants were NOT responsible for a significant number of COVID cases. This obviously upset the hundreds (maybe thousands) of restaurant/bar owners that still aren't allowed to open to full capacity, and it caused the story to go national. Well, the problem with the local Fox story is that the Mayor's office did end up releasing that data a few days after those emails earlier this summer. So, the data that the local Fox station shared is real, and the emails about hiding that data were real, but the fact that the data is still currently being hidden is the part that was incorrect.
  3. Maybe it's just me, but I love to mask debate. I usually mask debate right before I fall asleep each night, and I mask debate as soon as I wake up each morning. I mask debate on my way to work, and I typically mask debate while I'm at work. I sometimes even mask debate in the shower. I love mask debating.
  4. So what you're saying is; mouth breathers are going to kill us all? Just another reason to avoid College Station.
  5. This. It's gotta sting to have the roid nips without at least having the roid body to go with them.
  6. That dude is a constant embarrassment to UT with the things he says.
  7. To be fair, we did win that coin toss. It's knowing what to do once you win a coin toss that's hard.
  8. To be fair, though: our offense was pretty freaking legit under Gilbert. I'd take him back in a heartbeat. Imagine how many yards Bijan would have in that offense.
  9. Not one team circled Baylor on their schedule as a big-time game to get excited for heading into this season. Thirteen teams circled Texas on their schedule. I'm not saying this totally excuses why Herman has looked like shit compared to Rhule this year, but it is at least part of the reason.
  10. Does anyone know if Charlie Brewer got an offer from Texas? Or if he has any family ties to Texas? I'm anxious to watch the game and find out.
  11. The crazy thing is: just two seasons ago we were battling for bowl eligibility in late November, and just 3 seasons ago we didn't even make a bowl. Like much of the fan base, I'm still not completely satisfied with where we're at as a program, but those two stats put things into perspective a little bit.
  12. Similar to the points on Whose Line is it Anyway. They're totally made up and don't matter. Just like the word 'no' in Waco.
  13. Honest request here: can anyone provide any video and/or GIF examples of DPI that went uncalled? Since I wasn't at the game, I had limited view of what was going on away from the ball, so I never really saw any uncalled DPI. Was this actually happening? Or are we just saying it because we lost?
  14. To be fair, I can think of 3 plays just off the top of my head that were incredibly close to being explosive. I know close doesn't count, but I still think it's worth mentioning: Halfway through the third quarter, down 17-10, we had a 1st & 10 from our own 5. Sam threw an absolute dime to CJ who was breaking free across the middle 15 yards downfield. An incredibly uncharacteristic drop by CJ prevented at least a 20-30 yard gain, maybe even a 95 yard touchdown. Gus and Joel even agreed CJ probably could have scored if he caught it. The very next play: Sam threw another absolutely perfect ball to Eagles who was streaking down the field at our own 40. Eagles let the ball bounce off his hands, but he likely would have scored if he had held onto it. We ended up punting on that drive after being "that" close to a touchdown on back to back plays. With 9 minutes left in the game, down 27-17, we had 1st & 10 on OU's 37. Sam threw yet another beautiful ball to DD in the endzone which likely would have been caught for a touchdown if not for a pretty bad DPI by OU. This ended up being a really smart penalty by OU, because we ended up only getting a FG on that drive. The most interesting thing about this play was, as the offense was hurrying to the line before the play, the camera zoomed in on Sam and he looked like he was pleading with Herman for that specific play call. Did anyone else catch that? As I said before, "almost" having explosive plays is not as good as having explosive plays. However, I think it's worth noting how close we were to 3 explosive, and potentially game changing plays, but just barely missed out on them. And that's just me thinking off the top of my head without re-watching the game. I'm sure there were more that I'm forgetting.

  16. My wife is a Bama grad, so I watched a lot of Jalen's Bama games with her. I distinctly remember how much better he was at home. With a quieter crowd, he was able to receive audible calls at the line of scrimmage from Lane Kiffin on the sideline more easily than he could when he was in front of a hostile crowd.
  17. This. The funniest thing about Hurts's "I played in the Iron Bowl, I think I'll be fine" quote is the fact that he only played in an Iron Bowl in front of a hostile crowd one time (2017), and that... didn't go well. 12/22 passing for 112 yards, 1TD/O Int. 18 carries, 82 yards rushing, 0 TD. Bama lost 26-14. But yea Jalen, I'm sure you'll be fine. The Cotton Bowl will be nice and quiet while you're on the field.
