  1. This is mostly correct. There’s a strong potential for symbiosis between OTF and Texas athletics that doesn’t exist for UT anywhere today.
  2. I couldn’t get a consistent signal a few years back while driving from Houston to Memphis. Waze sent us an alternate route than our normal path due to some massive wreck and then we lost connection. I thought I was steadily driving deep into east Texas. By the time I was able to get coverage again, we were on some Louisiana backroad nearing the Arkansas border. That shit looks the same for hundreds of miles around. The drive between Little Rock and Memphis is as bland and generic as any really anywhere. True for whoever mentioned that.
  3. You’re heading to the portal? Headed to a safer haven where you can be the tallest midget, eh? With you leaving Surly and joining Orangebloods, you’ll be raising the collective IQ of both places.
  4. Apparently, Owens is now firmly entrenched as the 4th string QB. @Red Five is preparing his head scratching tool as I type this.
  5. Cardale Jones. Reuben Foster is a wifebeater, so him knocking out a defenseless person is par for the course, I suppose. I enjoyed the stories, in any event.
  6. They’ve had something like 11 losing season in 135 years. Their performance far outstrips any of our lifetimes, much less Meyer’s tenure there.
  7. I saw one of the rants on that a year or two ago and have been purposely fucking with all of ways in which DE/OLB/Edge can be termed ever since. I’ve also taken to capitalizing positions across the board and I can almost see certain posters’ eyes twitching.
  8. I consider myself a moderately intelligent person and I have no fucking clue what this means. I read it three times and still got nothing. It’s similar to when someone goes on a rant about misusing the term “begs the question”. They do it with conviction and so I feel like “man, they must be right, but I have no fucking clue what they’re trying to teach me here. “ I do know one thing though, if this level of pedantry doesn’t bring this thread to a screeching halt, nothing will.
  9. The Apple Turnover game. One of the shittiest games of that period. I cannot believe there is still this kind of energy around the Simms/MA period. What boring shit.
  10. I've asked about Brooks and I think your theory is correct. 3 different groups have confirmed that they know of no injury and that he's also not getting any run for PT in the Ohio State game. While it would be hilarious if Lockett just straight up beat out Jaggy to start in game 1, the guy Bobby is referencing is almost certainly Littleton.
  11. We're all subjective except for Sydney. He's our idiot savant.
  12. We've all seen your jocksniffing photos. They're not bonafides. You're a Westlake honk who happens to be involved with work that intersects with college athletes in Austin sometimes.
  13. A Bucknuts reporter fielding questions gave his QB comparison thoughts:
  14. All of the attention from opponents will surely frustrate at times, but I am confident Simmons will still post big numbers. I feel like natural and instinctive pass rushers are one of those groups in sports who always wind up getting theirs over the course of a season. If it isn't Littleton, who the hell else would it be? One of the WRs? Are you telling me that Jaggy has already been displaced by one of the newcomers? Can you please post that image again? I want to be able to text it randomly to my buddies during the game when his 360 pound ass is getting ragdolled sideways by Eddrick Houston.
  15. Yes, a long, long time ago.
  16. You're formerly TaylorTRoom, I've always presumed. Correct?
  17. Weren't you there with me? It's been a long time. But, yes, some fatass woman with a tiny husband and two pre-teen kids was getting into her minivan and turned around to a group of us and started yelling that "texassss sucks" and other inanities. I told her she needed to drop a couple hundred pounds and stop embarrassing her little husband and idiot kids in public. I believe her son now posts on this site as @Chewbacca.
  18. I know Les. He's a great guy and loves Texas. I think he'd fight Shawn Watson right now if the two of them ended up in the same room.
  19. The only time in my life in which I have vomited while perfectly sober and healthy was in the parking lot of the Cowboys' stadium immediately following that game. It sucks that we lost the content from Shaggy. One of my favorite threads was one I created on the recruiting board that tracked Swoopes' performance his senior year of high school. There were a great many posters on Shaggy and 247 who argued in support of Mack Brown's choice to take Swoopes instead of JT Barrett as some sort of "trust the corchez!?!" amazing evaluation. "He's the next Vince Young!" was posted numerous times, including in an article with that title from Howe on 247. Reading about that guy slowly going 1-9 or 2-8 with terrible stats at his 2A high school had some of them pulling their hair out throughout that fall. I appreciate Swoopes for what he was at Texas, but, man, those were dark times as a fan.
  20. I like Ehlinger fine as a former player. I liked him at Texas fine for the most part. I thought he sucked as a freshman and called him a loser before he went on to have solid rest of his career, making me look like an idiot as he did so. I have acknowledged I was wrong on the loser comment on the old Ehlinger thread. It doesn't prevent folks who really, really love Ehlinger from bringing it up any time I hurt their feelings on something else. You see one of our resident Westlake lovers doing that here because I apparently don't appreciate Klubnik to the appropriate levels that his Clemson performance demands. Regardless of all of that, it's never not fun to rile up those with I Am Sam sensitivities. To your point about that 2020 OU aftermath, I will also always appreciate Ehlinger doing what he did. And fuck Caden Stearns forever. I will never value that asshole as a former player.
  21. That's not correct. He's not known for being mobile. "Statue" was hyperbole for entertainment purposes, but if that guy is having to move much at all, they're in trouble.
  22. I'm not guaranteeing a win. I'm merely pointing out the absurdity of the claims being made about all of these suddenly conjured OSU "advantages". They have one clear advantage - they possess the best WR room in the country. Never mind the fact that Texas held JJ Smith to 3 yards and 1 catch 8 months ago, I acknowledge freely that the OSU WR room is awesome. Outside of that, these are 2 of the 3 best rosters in college football 2025. Anyone claiming a bunch of OSU advantages otherwise is attempting to read the future in tea leaves. "New guy" meant new starter. I figured that was kind of obvious. Guilbeau has been at Texas for 3 seasons. He won't be new to the field either. Peoples looks fine. You're comparing him to a room with multiple players ranked higher than him out of high school or with better numbers and experience than him in college, and Baxter has him in both regards, and then saying "gee, I think we might have a better RB room". That's objectively comical.
  23. You don't have to feign giving a shit about players that aren't from Westlake. Anyone who has been on this site for any period of time knows that you're a Westlake stan first and foremost and anything else, including Texas football, is an afterthought. Just one other thing, though. The next time you're masturbating on a Zoom call with Sam, will you do the rest of us a favor and ask him if Texas is back?
  24. I've developed the opinion over time that it would be great to see Texas bring Simms back for a game on the sidelines with some sort of happy hat tip to the guy. I know that's problematic since half the stadium is likely a bunch of idiots who might boo him and there's really no way he belongs in the Texas HOF or whatever it's called. Maybe it would just be great if Sarkisian invited him to come down for a practice and an interview or something. It's just always bothered me that idiots ruined his relationship with his alma mater. His signing with Texas made a giant fucking difference for the program from a national POV early in Mack Brown's tenure.
