Adjacent to our season, Bama lost Jam Miller for a lot or all of the year with a separated collar bone. Dude is good and they thought he was going to have a big year.
I consider it some sort of banal version of performance art by slorch. It’s sort of the forum version of Tech’s athletic programs historically. Blandly mediocre, largely irrelevant and vaguely unfamiliar.
Okay, let’s get a grip here. Texas isn’t hated in the media. Some folks resent Texas, sure. For most, things are better when Texas is contending, like’em or not. Same for an others like ND and USC. It helps their discussions.
Also, I go to a lot of other fanbase boards. Everyone thinks the media hates their team. All of them.
Yeah, I remember you saying that. I don’t remember Gerry saying it.
I don’t think the staff purposely fucks with $9.95ers who put in work and share information. Two way street.
Sometimes, the “billfromlaketravis filter” simply has to be applied.
Spoilered below is an article mistitled by Tarp. He says it’s about the LBs, but it’s about the RBs.
Highlights:
-Tarp again pushes one of the most laughable bullshit premises that anyone talking about ATM seems to have to push -that Reuben Owens is a big play guy. If I remember correctly, the guy’s longest play from scrimmage is less than 25 yards and very few are more than 10. Where in the fuck did this notion come from?
-He’s identified that some of the aggie honks have prematurely started pushing true freshman Morrow as the next big thing. This is happening because idiots who cover the team overrate 7 on 7 performance.
Pretty sure they played for the conference title in 1997 and were routed. I think you’re thinking of their claims for the 2007? and 2010 South Division titles when they did not, in fact, play for the conference title.
In that thread, one guy comes on and adds that half the stadium or more was maroon and that the aggies actually had the advantage in that game. They’re truly pathetic people.
“What do you want to see against UTSA?” thread of mostly idiocy and delusion linked below.
Highlights:
-At least one guy is calling them “tusa “
-40+-10 blowouts predicted repeatedly.
-Table stakes for one guy is 600+yards from the Klein offense.

So the best #13 we can highlight in longhorn football history is a guy that had his big chance to separate yesterday and instead dropped 3 passes and was later relegated to providing water to the starters during red zone drill timeouts? Okay then.
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.
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.
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.
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.
