  1. The biggest thing is an entire university and its football team are looking for legitimacy by beating their biggest rival. Nevermind that no one outside of this rivalry or college football fandom could tell you anything about the school that would be positive or negative. They are darn near a non-entity in the public consciousness. You can mention UT and people know the school. Say A&M and waiting for a blank stare/confused look. I still run across people that think it’s some branch of UT that they’ve never heard of. Just keep doing your abnormal and silly traditions, burn down some logs without killing your students and end every year with a loss. Be happy the SEC lets you Charlie Brown your program every year on national TV at some point. This year that moment is against the Horns.
  2. If Dan’s oldest is going into coaching then he’s 4th. Maybe some distant relatives they might have that coach would be better. If there are just three of them then Bobby is still 4th. Everyone that was ever mad at Mack Brown stealing money at the end should look at Hurley’s resume at ASU. Mack looks like prime Nick Saban compared to this. Good on Odum. Have no idea what year he is, but if he’s young parlay a good season into going elsewhere.
  3. I could not tell you a single thing about him or the ASU roster. When he’s gone I’ll tune in and watch. Imagine if Texas kept Shaka twice as long as they did and that he almost never made the tournament. That’s Bobby Hurley’s time at ASU in a nutshell.
  4. You guys had one job. Beat Bobby Hurley. I’d like to watch maybe a game or two of ASU basketball, but not until after Hurley is shown the door.
  5. Not Luka related, but Leonard just looks old. He looks like a guy just collecting a big paycheck. 43-13-9. Looks like he’s learning how to play this game of basketball. Maybe he’ll be good one day.
  6. That steal he just had on Harden was hilarious. Just walked up and ripped it away.
  7. If the game stays close he should get 50 since the Clips defensive strategy involves letting him shoot wide open shots. I will never understand how Lue has made it as long as he has as a head coach in the NBA.
  8. 24 points in the 1st with 5 made 3’s. That seems good?
  9. Luka seems kinda motivated to beat the JV team tonight. Hit a logo 3 and has 14 halfway through the first quarter.
  10. I will never understand doing this. So incredibly weird and pointless.
  11. He’ll be there in spirit on his pirate ship doing maneuvers or something. That guy’s ghost will haunt aggy every single year that they field a football team.
  12. Walker didn’t get Helo’s blessing. Using his prediction history across the board on anything means that Walker will win a Heisman and be in the NFL Hall of Fame one day. Skattebo was, as anyone with a semi-functioning brain could tell you, not recruited by anyone of note. He earned everything he has received because he kept getting better. Skattebo loves contact and although Walker’s films do not show it, when he took contact on runs he would carry some guys with him. I watched every game from his sophomore year since Lampasas broadcast all of them on their YT channel and he would take hits and keep his legs moving even with a tackler on him. The thing he has never really done is catch passes out of the backfield. Not in his bag so to speak.
  13. Tim Roth is a favorite of mine. Loved him in the Tin Star series. He just kinda plays himself in most of the stuff he does. At least it seems that way to me. Kinda like Jason Bateman playing the same person.
  14. Plains, Trains and Automobiles. Got to see it on the big screen at Regal. I had not seen the movie since I was a kid when we rented it at a video store. The scene where Candy drives the wrong way and they are sitting on the trunk watching the car burn had me crying laughing. I don’t know why, but that got me the most. Candy and Martin together was just a great pairing. Martin cussing out the woman at the rental car counter was hilarious as well. Beautiful movie.
  15. For his size he’s got pretty good speed. I’m glad he will get a chance to play for the Horns. It doesn’t work out, well, go play for ASU. I think he’ll be fine at UT though.
  16. He spent his first two years playing for Lampasas. He’s a really good downhill runner that takes on contact willingly. Some backs try to always avoid it, but he likes to take hits. Teams need guys like this that are big and having surprising speed in the open field. Had he stayed at Lampasas the last two years for them would have looked a lot different. Good for this young man in securing a spot with Texas. He has earned this offer on the field through getting better every year. He also has a former teammate in Ty Johnson that also left Lampasas. Johnson is probably the best athlete to suit up for the Badgers since Johnny “Lam” Jones, but he transferred to Crean Lutheran in SoCal this past spring where he’s now a 4 Star WR and a top 10-15 player in California for 2027. Why Texas has not formally offered him as well is a bit of a mystery since Oregon and Georgia both have.
  17. I’d like for them to beat Rape Memorial High School in the regional final, but that’s a tough ask to do it two years in a row.
  18. I don’t think it’s necessary to see it in a theater. It won’t add anything to the story if you do.
  19. Wish Udoh had a better season statistically this year. The offense was a mess most of the year with Leavitt being injured for a good chunk of it and then having to let Sims take the snaps after that. I will give the guys credit for being 8-3 when they could’ve folded the tent early in the year. This is a better coaching job by Dillingham and the staff than last year’s run was. If he wins the Arizona game and whatever exhibition game we get sent to play in he will have a team that goes 10-3. Dillingham is worth twice what he is getting paid.
  20. No one should think this. Tech should get the only bid. BYU and Utah should go join that ridiculous new version of the PAC-12. BYU has played one good team the entire season and they got embarrassed. Utah gave up 47 today to one of the worst K-State teams since the heyday of the Ron Prince era.
  21. Should happen and should be fun to watch transpire.
  22. Our entire conference has one team that’s good. Utah and BYU are both way overrated and should not be anywhere near the top 20. ASU would have made two good teams, but no Leavitt killed that. We should not be ranked. Some of these teams in this conference need to just fold up the football program.
  23. Absolutely. If not the stuff with David Hogg, remember that she had the Statue of Liberty post with a burqa over it. She didn’t realize why COVID-19 was called that. She also compared it to the Holocaust. The whole Jewish Space Lasers thing. She’s Q-anon. All of that is just a normal Tuesday for her. Wanted you to have every single kind of rep on your post, including a negative one that gives you the “rep cycle.”
  24. That guy looks like a fascist Richard Karn.
