  1. I don't start thinking about the draft at this point in the year, mostly. If you mean at QB? There are probably 30 guys I'd take ahead of him. He looks like a training camp/gadget guy. His body has taken a beating already. His arm isn't his best asset. He plays in an offense that doesn't translate well to the pro level. He's not incredibly fast. He's not tall. There's not a ton to like other than toughness. It isn't like OU was lighting it up in the passing game with this dude running things, unless Temple and Illinois State impress you. SVP says all kinds of stupid shit and this is more of it. Mateer is 2025 Sam Ehlinger. People have lost their fucking minds.
  2. No, that's all Venables said. What's being said by OU insiders and talking heads is that there's little chance he's back by Texas, 16 days from now. Also, angry? No. Derisive? Yes. Dismissive? Sure. Can you show your work regarding Mateer being viewed as a top 30-50 guy?
  3. They're literally saying he won't be back for a month. The only places in which it's being theorized that he's back by Texas are on the boards with okie mouthbreathers wearing tinfoil hats and the Texas jellyfish wearing tinfoil hats. Dari Nowkah was just on College Sports Today on XM 84 like 15 minutes ago saying that Mateer won't be back for Texas. I shouldn't be explaining any of this. You are drawing a parallel to another injury when we know fuck-all about either one. Other idiots here are overtly stating that think this is all a set up. That Venables and crew would lie to the media, lie to the SEC, and publicly make up a surgery coordinated with a fucking doctor whose reputation is on the line. Do you not understand the abject stupidity of this and that you're chiming in to defend it? It's fucking ridiculous.
  4. Mateer is not playing against Texas. This is silly.
  5. This is correct. He was written off nationally as a loser who couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. That was being said on forums and with the talking heads all the way through the 29-0 debacle at home with Alabama in Game 9. Some guys take a little for the game to slow down, no matter how talented.
  6. Don't threaten me with a good time. This thread's recent posts have already taken it into the absurd, so why not?
  7. Anyone want to take a stab at whose Year 1 starting QB statline is below? This fucking scrub. Notice any parallels to Manning at all? Also, this guy was also throwing to WRs who apparently sucked as well.

  8. When I was growing up, we had this tiny, angry, cajun elf who lived across the street from us named Gayle. He was always bickering about our football getting onto his grass and threatening to turn us into boudin or gumbo or some shit in his dimwitted accent. We created a play where I'd throw the ball at a WR's feet and called it the Elf Gayle as an actual planned throw and route to get around a bigger defender. Maybe Manning has just been running the Elf Gayle this whole time and no one else understood the route call?
  9. I think you're completely missing the point of what Codaxx is trying to tell the board. What he's saying is that this is all settled science. Wingo and Manning cannot functionally coexist in the same offense and that Wingo needs to be benched and later cut. There are no small sample sizes here and there can be no consideration for bouts of human frailty or a new starter's learning curve. This is over, and it is time to move on.
  10. Why do you write this post as a question? Is it sort of a "I am Ron Burgundy?" thing?
  11. They’re not going to fire him until Lagway’s redshirt is burned.
  12. It’s posts like this that make me think, “maybe ignore makes the most sense here”. I don’t give one fuck about attribution in some thing no one knows about besides 3-4 people here. “aggypedia”? Who fucking cares or knows about this? That’s randolph duke shit “kind of” means you weren’t telling the whole fucking story. Your personal nicknames for random shit makes your posts generally indecipherable. This isn’t the aggie thread. Some of this is becoming bandwidth drain.
  13. You may not feel like an idiot, but we’re all pointing and laughing at you looking like one on this anyway.
  14. He’s in the doghouse for coach extraordinaire Demarco Murray. They think he’s a goldbricker. The emergence of Blaylock has empowered them to bury him on the depth chart. There’s an article on Sooners Illustrated arguing that Ott is key without Mateer, but I’m not sure if Murray actually reads SI or not.
  15. Kind of. Although, I have to say, I still don’t know who in the fuck “talkie bird” is. That Friday night, ATM announced an emergency board of regents meeting for the following Monday. The topic publicly stated for the meeting was something like “to discuss conference options for Texas ATM athletics”. At the time, there was no exit fee in the SEC. So ATM was implying that they might actually consider leaving for greener pastures, which was laughable. Sankey called them the following morning and told them “get right or get fucked”. Get to closing or hit the fucking bricks, dummies. ATM, bluff called, sent Liucci and his cronies out to spin from there. I had two friends directly involved on the Texas end narrating this shit in real time. I relayed it to this board as it unfolded, with a breakdown of where this was headed that Friday night after those rubes played their perceived ace in the hole.
  16. It wasn’t hard to know what was coming. We’d seen it plenty. Rooting for OU only made you end up feeling like an idiot, or should have. You sound like one of the guys trying to reason with us that day at BW3. Just wrong and confused and rationalizing anyway. Wrong wrong wrong. Never cheer for OU, ever. If OU is playing the Taliban, I’m wearing a turban or whatever the fuck garb they’ve got going. If Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao and Mussolini have been summoned by Satan on the opposing sidelines to lead the charge against the sooners, I’m face painted with a pentagram and swearing allegiance to the Prince of Darkness. Never cheer for OU.
  17. That's interesting about the TD being worth 5. I didn't know that. I assumed the same as you regarding the reasons for more safeties. That's really cool. JFC. I looked up the Liberty Bowl and Music City Bowl results, looked up Texas vs Memphis (we've never played them) and even MTSU (never played them either) and thought "what am I forgetting?". At no point did Vanderbilt even register in my head and I've walked their freaking campus. Texas has, in fact, played 5 times, as far as I can now tell, in the state of Tennessee. Texas is 1-4 in those games, with the 4 losses coming in 1899, 1905, 1906, and 1925. The win, as mentioned, came last year in 2024.
  18. Some things that interested me after glancing at Winsipedia regarding opponents for 2026: -We now have a losing record against Ohio State and that needs to be righted. -2-0 versus UTSA, which is the same record Texas currently has against Florida. -Missouri: --18-9-1 against Missouri, but 16-2 against them since 1930. --Texas played 4 exhibition games against Missouri in 1896 in Laredo, Monterrey, and Mexico City and lost all 4 of them. --They played two random games against Missouri in 1907 and 1916, losing both of them with some of the weirdest scores ever - 5-4 and 3-0. How many CFB games have finished with a score of 5-4? --The 2011 loss as they left the conference still pisses me off with the shittiness of their field and the injuries incurred during that loss. -Finally righted the wrongs of the Sherrill series against Miss State with the pummeling last year and the 1999 Cotton Bowl. Need more of that with the series now at 3-2 for Texas. -6-1 against Ole Miss with another late Mack loss being the blemish. -9-8-1 against LSU with the last matchup being Zero Blitz from Todd Orlando and LSU's "greatest college football team of all time" needing to cheat with fake injuries while getting idiotic playcalls and dropped end zone passes from the fighting Tom Hermans to get out of an un-air conditioned Austin with a single score win. -64-51-5 against the okies; 77-37-5 against the aggies; 57-23 against the pigs. -Texas has never played a football game in Tennessee as far as I can tell, so this will be a first. 2-1 against the vols, all in Dallas. These two haven't played against one another since 1968, so it will have been 58 years by the time they hit the field next year.
  19. Venables told the media yesterday that both Javonnie Gibson (WR from UAPB) and Eli Bowen (starting soph CB) have been practicing and both will be playing against Kent State next week. So while they do lose Mateer, which is huge, two major expected contributors will be expected to play, if not start, against Texas on 10/11.
  20. What idiot is saying that? That's one of the dumbest repeated sentiments in the entirety of sports discussions across the globe and particularly in football.
  21. Here's Sun Belt Billy talking today about his outlook for the week and beyond. Highlights: -They need to get healthy. -No offensive scheme or playcalling changes. -Lagway practiced yesterday. -They're installing plays and personnel for more than just Texas, also ATM and Miss State. That's smart work, there, Billy. Don't sweat winning the game right in front of you.
  22. Yeah, a friend of mine from the old site texted me an NIL question last year when the DE was pulling his stunt on y'all, as he is a Texas State alum who had some involvement. I know what he wanted sounded like a lot, but it was going rate for an above average Edge. I don't think players get an extra year just because their coach leaves, though.
  23. Short memories, huh? Jeff Lebby, piece of human shit that he is, played a key role in institutionalizing rape enablement for the football program at Baylor. When the daylight started to hit what those motherfuckers were doing, he was one of most aggressive deniers and Art Briles apologists in this entire debacle. Not only is he an okie shittalker from way back, he supports the rape of young women and then threatening them if they dare speak up. Fuck him, fuck Baylor, fuck OU and fuck Mississippi State for hiring him.
  24. Well, I was attempting a joke that was apparently too subtle and not funny. Miami plays Florida State next weekend. Get it? Get it?
  25. Mon Amie Gabi went sideways after the pandemic and then also raised prices. Used to go religiously for brunch, twice a year, once on each visit. Haven’t been there in 2 years and not going next week either. Fuck skimping on quality while raising prices.
