  1. George R. R. Morton designed an air raid offense. He called it The Game of Throwns.
  2. I know a good line when I steal one, and Ima steal that motherfucker; you can bank that.
  3. If Arch couldn't go, then half this board would get what they were demanding immediately after the Florida game.
  4. Nobody was dead before you (and I) were born.
  5. That's my thinking. We showed improvement, and that's damn sure appreciated, but let's not get caught up in, "wow, the OL's fixed; we're gonna fuck shit up!" that seems to be going around with some folks.
  6. Agreed. Which begs the question, why did it take Sark that long to learn and craft a game plan like the one we saw Saturday? A lot of this board has been begging for that for weeks now. (Or, in Surl-speak: "Come on, dude, we're pretty fuckin' dumb and we saw it.")
  7. Maybe he had a dime on ou+3.
  8. Fowler's not a fan. Most of his comments about the 'Horns are derogatory. Herbie's "cesspool" quote notwithstanding, he's not as down on us as Fowler is. But to compensate for enduring Fowler, we'll be blessed with numerous wide-angle shots of that cow, Holly Rowe. My suggestion would be to avert your eyes before she comes on camera, because like Medusa, she'll turn you to stone. Hmmm, maybe our DL could look her square in the eyes--after Florida, we could use something like Fordham's "seven blocks of granite."
  9. I've just decided to get all my inside betting touts from AI. It's never wrong. No telling how rich I'm going to be. As an example, below is an excerpt from Google's AI Assistant when I asked why the line has moved back to UT -1.5: (You can't make this stuff up, folks--well, obviously AI can . . .) The betting line for the Texas vs. Oklahoma game has shifted back to favor Texas, with Texas now listed as a 1-point favorite as of Saturday morning. This is a flip from earlier in the week when Oklahoma became a favorite due to the uncertainty surrounding the health of Texas quarterback John Mateer. As his status was upgraded to probable, the odds initially shifted in Oklahoma's favor before moving back to Texas.
  10. The number at my site's gone from 'Horns -3 to blowu -1, a 4-point swing. (It went from -3 to -1, then held there until today's late flip to blowu.) The total went from 42.5 to 44.5. I assume both those recent moves are a result of Mateer rumored to be playing. I further assume, in light of our first 5 games, that blowu minus only 1 is a function of the strength of our national brand--well, that and the pure unpredictability of this game--the best rivalry in all of sport. I guess I'm going to listen to my heart, not my head, and keep my money in my pocket. Y'all?
  11. Ten field goals . . . 10 X 3 = ??? Uh . . . c'mon, y'all. I was told there wouldn't be no maths.
  12. If only we had an OL.
  13. If you meet an asshole in the morning . . .
  14. When it comes to front-burner controversies, message board posters tend to be either hyper-positive or condemnatorily negative—seldom, if ever, is there ever any well reasoned in-between. And that's the way it is when it comes to Sark. As with most things in life, somewhere in between is where the truth lies. Sark brought us out of the Strong/Herman embarrassment and into the light with two consecutive playoff appearances. Then, he completely and irreparably screwed the 2025 season with this inexcusable abortion of an offensive line. I'm nowhere near a Sark apologist; this is his fuck-up and it's a bad one, a tenure-threatening one. Still, looking at the big picture: track record to date, cost of buyout and new-hire, internal AD/BOR politics, availability of a guaranteed upgrade, it's pretty obvious we’re going to be stuck with him for a while, like it or not. The best we can hope for is continued Big Cigar $NIL buy-in, a better plan for next year, and good luck in the off-season portal. But that’s next year. There’s still the rest of this year to endure and . . .
