  1. @Red Five We finally know why Sarkisian went out and got Caldwell. We were told it was related to concerns with Owens. Now I realize that the dude was watching Arch Knoblauch in practices and scrimmages and realized he needed some form of a backup plan, asap.
  2. Thread title isn’t quite Alabama Ball Gargling or Sam Bradford Seems Like He Sucks levels yet, but it is trending there, and it’s making me laugh when I visit the site and see it near the top. Garrett Gilbert? Hell, I’d take Garrett Gilbert. Arch Manning isn’t in danger of becoming Garrett Gilbert. He looks like he’s already become the football version of Chuck Knoblauch. Steve Sax is starting to worry that Manning might have the fucking yips. I’m not “worried” about it, personally. I’m sure of it. That dude couldn’t be more mentally weak between the lines on a football field if he was carrying a stuffed animal out there with him and sucking on his pacifier.
  3. Kelly represents Plonsky’s Last Stand. That’s been good enough to keep her job a few times, but those cards have all been played. Outside of a miracle, I assume Texas has a newer, better coach to open the 2026 season.
  4. Where are you staying and what kind of dining experience do you want?
  5. I said this in the random game thread last night, but I feel like repeating it here: Del Conte needs to have his hair on fire getting UCLA on the schedule, maybe even for this year in the second bye week. Add a 13th game next year, whatever it takes. I think we have a losing record against these bastards and they’ve had a history of catching Texas as just the wrong time. We need this. Let’s go, right now.
  6. He’s gotten into some really, really fringey pussy. We’re not here to shame.
  7. How quickly can we get UCLA back on the schedule? Can we dump UTSA and get them on there next year? We need like 3 or 4 in a row here with these guys, as well quickly as possible.
  8. Also, the intentional grounding call against Weigatron when the defender was trying to rip his head off was a typically terrible Big 12 officiating call. Holy shit.
  9. Avery Johnson looks like a fucking clown with that hairdo. You’re a leader of a P4 team, you fucking dumb shit. Cut your hair you fucking hippie.
  10. You're just biased against Texas State's chief rival. Incarnate Word is best not trifled with if ASU knows what's good for them.
  11. I've posted your profile pic as my own on the Syracuse 247 site and have been posturing as Cook's father and a Syracuse insider for months. I've confessed that I run a small graphics and promotions shop in Westlake and took Johntay in awhile back after the rest of the world turned its back on him and his methheadery. I've acquired quite the north-central New York region following.
  12. That's pretty mean to talk about @TreatyOak and his son in that manner.
  13. Did you belch and then hock one into a spittoon after typing this?
  14. Turned out to be pointless, as they don't even work on Macs there. Seattle was fun, nonetheless.
  15. Suddenly, I'm being told that I have to go and use the tickets. I'll be in the SEZ with 3 teens/pre-teens watching this game with what I expect to be one of the most bored groups of 90+k people in the history of sports gatherings. It's going to have the energy of a crowd waiting 45 minutes past the scheduled start time for John Tesh to begin a concert. Maybe it is the influence from reading these threads this week, I don't know, but I am starting to expect to see an offensive bedshitting the likes of which would make Lynn Amedee and Greg Davis blush. My only solace in that actually occurring would be witnessing the hyperventilating on this site in the aftermath. immamac commits seppuku, codaxx is walking around in a circle counting prime numbers while muttering about PFF grades, various nonchalants like texifornia and Js1 profess their insouciance, and a group of ne'erdowells led by SydneyCarton and Red Five plot the ritualistic shaving of BO&W's prepubescent scrotum in a move designed for both sacrifice to the college football gods and seeking a sense of catharsis. So we have that going for us, which is nice.
  16. I despise the preferential treatment that ND perpetually receives. The fawning over them when they're good from the national media is nauseating as well. That said, I will be cheering wildly for them to win this game. I will cheer for ATM to win one game and one game only - whenever they play OU. That's it. They're going to run their mouths like the idiots they are, sun, rain, sleet or snow, but it's 10 times worse when they win anything worth a shit, like a game in South Bend. As to the premise of a loss to ATM putting ND out of the playoff conversation, sure, there's a silver lining there, I guess. Of course, I may have bad news for you - if ND is 10-2 at the end of the year, the committee will somehow find a way to justify putting them in and pissing all of us off. Texas just needs to take care of its own business. Regardless, to each their own on how they root. Carr looked pretty good against a top 10 team on the road. If you don't think ND has a QB after that performance, I'd hate to hear about you think about, ahem, ... other programs and their new QBs.
  17. We were with friends who went to WVU and they were dressed up in WVU gear, so we didn't get anything besides the light-hearted stuff from others. For all of the "Morgantown is a lot of fun!" that I've read on the boards over the years, I didn't really get it. We black car-ed to and from Pittsburgh, so maybe we missed part of the charm by not staying there, but we tailgated and went to some famous local haunts for food and drinks. Went to the school bookstore, etc. It was all fine, but I didn't find anything extraordinary about the place. They were also very docile after getting pummeled.
  18. My computer kept locking up. I went to Microsoft's offices in order to get one of the IT people to fix it.
  19. Here is an unintentionally hilarious article from Tarp on ATM's output facing top 10 teams on the road over the past 50 years. Highlights: -They've won 4 games on the road versus top 10 opponents since 1975. PSU in 1979 (PSU finished 8-4), Bama in 2012 with Manziel (Bama repeated for the title that season), South Carolina in 2014 (they finished unranked, 7-6) and Auburn 2014 (finished 8-5). That's it. That's the list. -He talks about the problem usually partly being ATM's own internal foibles leading to their demise, which is surprisingly self-aware. -He sounds closer to cutting himself than normal before a big game. I heard Liucci on SEC radio this morning talking about ATM surprising the country with a comfortable win tomorrow, so these folks are all over the map right now.
  20. I can't remember whether it was Herbstreit or someone else, but I laughed when they explained that Gameday was headed to Morgantown until WVU fumbled it with the loss to Ohio. I don't know why, but I enjoy rooting against WVU. Dick Rod being there makes that even easier. I've even visited Morgantown for a Texas win and enjoyed it, horns down coping from them and all. Maybe it's just the ease of generally rooting against the Big 12 and enjoying pointing and laughing at all of them.
  21. It's almost a certainty that they can't.
  22. The comments on the aggies from the national media reflect a group of people who have not watched them play yet. I think there’s just been a bunch of box scoring reading and highlight sampling.
  23. Why is there a fully equipped football player walking across a runway?
  24. You’ve made good choices. MF Sushi is excellent as a choice.
  25. Well, Fud is very German, so it happens.
