  1. How were you able to get into practice and then also get a photo op with Sarkisian?
  2. I’m more interested in his posting behavior than anything. Not interested enough to go and actually look at it or anything, mind you.
  3. What does that have to do with anything?
  4. He may have structural issues with his hamstring and that may force him to pick a sport even if he’s feeling 100% at some point. People worrying about him aren’t being dramatic.
  5. Equivocating with the “everybody cheats” trope combined with the “i know players that told me explicitly about the dollar payments and all other arrangements” scenario is just awesome stereotypical football forum silliness. 1) many of us have known ball players during or after their time at Texas and elsewhere. A guy saying that is unlike most I’ve encountered. Sounds legit. 2) no, everyone doesn’t cheat. 3) for damned sure very few played the bag game. Texas did not. Go get fucked if you attempt to push that narrative further. Some of us lived this shit on both sides of that period. 4) Cam Newton’s father was confirmed to have received $200k from Auburn through his church before the Heisman was awarded. The NCAA ruled that there was nothing they could do. Either you are lying about your interaction with John David Crow or he’s a complete dumbfuck and you weren’t paying attention either. 5) lauding an aggie for his personality and good guy nature while telling us that Texas has cheated like everyone else has aggie stink all over your posts. I’m not one to typically call that or care, but it is jumping out right here. This fucking guy is trending towards crowdsource worthy here. I haven’t checked his posting history, however.
  6. He was fine and then basically tore it in week 1. I thought these two posts were attempts at sarcasm or being funny or something. Nope. After reading them again and seeing other responses, I see that vaginas are in full bloom on this site right now. HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! I have removed all expectations I had for Williams as a UT football player. Everyone should. If he’s healthy and playing again down the line, amazing.
  7. Can you two assholes get together and fuck or go to DMs for the rest of us here’s sake? Thanks.
  8. This guy is a once in a generation buffoon. He has no idea what he’s doing. Enjoy this.
  9. Everything the mods have been posting about the OL, while the actual practices have reflected uncertainty to the tune of guys getting moved positions and with 1’s, 2’s and 3’s, has looked like gaslighting. “Serevield sucked last year and in the spring, but now he’s an electric Left Tackle!” Right. They’re having problems there. They were fucked last year until asking Jackson to bite the bullet and play out of position at LT after other injuries. This is why they’ve also been hyping up other TEs with the resident posters saying “really, that guy is coming on? alright!” Their defense was great all year. Losing Knowles is the biggest deal for them.
  10. re: Baker A few good friends who have been to practices last year and since have become raving fans of the guy. Players and recruits love him. Good pick by Sarkisian that had a lot of us handwringing at the time because the dude was a relative unknown.
  11. Autocorrect on iphone. Some of us have it working in our favor, some of us are @SydneyCarton .
  12. At this point, I expect Jaggy as the starter. What has Mosley proven at Texas so far? Not enough.
  13. This is correct. The back and forth otherwise looks specifically personal between posters or disputed out of athletic ignorance and media/AD propaganda naïveté. Baxter may or may not be his old self again. None of us have seen him yet and the nature of his injury should make us all from Missouri. Hey, none of us wrote that shit.
  14. I think part of the problem when the “everybody paid players” trope comes up is the general fan’s ignorance of the difference between $100 handshakes, which boosters have been doing at programs across the country since at least WWII, and the bag game and buying a few difference makers every cycle from street agents for $50k+. Yeah, I’m sure guys at Texas found ways to get drinking money over the years. And yeah, I know for fucking certain Texas and another 125-ish FBS schools didn’t participate in the bag game.
  15. Another post on that thread pulls the inevitable but still hilarious maneuver of claiming hypothetical wins: JJxvi 6:01p, 8/14/25 If Texas had agreed to maintain the series, we would have won in Austin multiple times...
  16. In regard to ATM’s 2025 schedule, they play 5 true road games. This is an issue that has received very little discussion. ATM has been atrocious on the road for a very, very long time. Here is a link to a Texags thread with the usual ignorance, abject stupidity and trope-huffing that discusses their OOC road futility and attempts to rationalize it. One guy, “Mac94” comes along and rationally lays out actual facts while still aggiefying part of his subjective review. I’ve spoilered his data review posts below. Highlights: -ATM has played exactly 4 true P4 road games over the last 20 seasons. Read that again if you’d like. 0-4 in those games. (I’m not counting a non-P4 SMU in 2014, nor should you) -Since 1995, they are 0-8 against then P4 teams on the road. If you include Utah, Pitt, and SMU, although I’m not sure why you would, that record “improves” to 2-9. -Including bowls and fake P4 teams, from 1995 forward, ATM is 13-26, 11-25 otherwise. -Predictably, several goobers try to p-hack and pine for the golden years of Jackie Sherrill and just remove late Slocum and Fran-tastic seasons altogether. The Mac94 guy comes along and reveals that the Sherrill years provided a 7-13 road/bowl P4 record. -Culturally, ATM is a program in a bubble. People can claim that the right coach will come along and fix it. Maybe. I’m not buying it. They’re a historically bad road team for a program perennially opening nearly every season ranked in the top 25. -My view is that ATM goes 1-4 on the road this season. 0-5 wouldn’t and shouldn’t surprise anyone. https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3553009
  17. Bobby’s thoughts this morning on scrimmage outcomes, etc.
  18. Outback has always been proprietor-driven. If the proprietor is present and worth a shit, the Outback tends to be consistent and worth it. If not, the place sucks. I worked at the one near the Arboretum in the 90’s and that place was clean and terrific. Back then, they were pushing big on expansion and began watering down the talent and qualifications of who they let buy-in for new locations. It became hit or miss depending upon location. If I’m out in Katy for some baseball tournament or other terrible reason, they have a good one. The one in Sugarland is solid. Others in Houston suck and the one near the Arboretum sucks last time I went also. That said, my kids love visiting them every time. It’s the least expensive option for a potentially good steak available, in my mind. Good Mexican martinis involve lime juice and little to no actual mix. It’s far less sweet than a margarita. Add olive brine and it’s an entirely different taste and experience. Orange juice may or may not make it into either ritas or Mexican martinis, depending upon where you’re buying.
  19. I’ve been assuming that he’s paid to do it. We know that the ATM AD pays Texags over $1M per year because they’ve had to disclose it. I’m guessing they’re paying others. There is simply no way multiple outlets are this stupid in the same exact way. It’s not like Pate comes about his conclusions differently than Texags or other ATM rags, ever. It’s the same shit every cycle and yet he’s not an aggie. He’s getting paid.
  20. My honest worry is that these guys have so completely gone in the tank on the guy that expectations simply cannot be met. If he catches 35 for 600 and 4 tds on the season, there are various idiots who will be disappointed. That would be a solid first season for anyone. That said, our sample size is one target on a bad read from Arch where Jaggy dropped the ball and then Sarkisian could be seen gently berating Manning on the sidelines and saying “don’t throw it to that guy”. I think my expectations are calibrated correctly. It’s all of you who are going to be crying in your beers as Daylan McCutcheon passes him on the DC after the Florida game.
  21. I’m with you. Miss us on this one.
  22. It’s always attended well and sold out. The Irish love it as well. I’d love to see Texas play Notre Dame there.
  23. I am hoping that Kreul is the next Brian Bosworth in all aspects of - douchiness, running his mouth, being a roid freak with some success that leads to OU fans rallying around every stupid thing he does, just being a very loud heel in general. I was hoping he’d be our version, but I’ll settle for the second coming on their end.
  24. Somehow, you twits have made the subject matter of bagging on Baylor boring. A fucking trademark discussion among lawyers is where we’ve landed?
