  1. Composite of all computer rankings has Texas at 4 and Vandy at 35. https://masseyratings.com/ranks?s=cf Coincindentally, one ranking system, Ray's Rankings has Texas at 28 (Texas' lowest of all rankings systems) and Vandy at 10 (Vandy's highest). Sagarin, whose predictor is a decent proxy for point spreads has Texas at #2 (91.5 predictor) and Vandy at #67 (70.49 predictor). 91.5-70.49 estimates a 21-point spread on neutral site. -18 at Vandy. Draft kings has it as Texas -18.5.
  2. NSIAP
  3. I recall 1994 being the year of the opposing RB. (W) Texas At Pitt, Curtis Martin ran wild on "Tony Dorsett day." 28-251 (L) Colorado at Texas, Rashaan Salaam ran for 317 and had 362 total yards (W) OU ran for 253 (L) Rice ran for 241 (L) TT ran for 187 (L) aTm ran for 157 (W) Baylor ran for 260 (W) UNC ran for 196 Needless to say, that defense struggled to stop the run. It's difficult to find deetailed stats from 1994. My #s are derived from the net positive rushing, assuming the negative yards are from sacks - which could be wrong.
  4. Hence, why I choose not to engage
  5. 84 year-old FIL is voting for Trump. Why, in his words... Trump is a successful businessman and will do a better job managing the economy. Biden (and now Harris) will take all of our money with their tax changes Trump's position on immigration Trump is a Christian Judicial appointments Trump tells it "like it is" about the media bias I do not engage whenever he brings any of it up. Not worth it, as we are not going to change each other's mind. SMH
  6. Ed Reed is a bottom 10% interview so far on the Manning cast.
  7. Holy crap. Dortch is shorter than Kyler.
  8. I am looking for a new primary care physician (PCP) in the Austin Area. I live NW, and am willing to drive to the right person. I neglected to visit my "normal" PCP for a couple of years and the are now treating me like a new patient, of which he no longer accepts. For my annual physical last year, I went to a random doc and it was "so so" but I got all the blood work. What say you, SurlyHorns?
  9. Are you new here?
  10. That's the spirit!
  11. Kirby Smart is a clown. He has some fool on staff who is responsible for pulling at his belt to keep him off the field. I do not care how good of a football coach he is, he's a stinking clown.
  12. This. And the NFL does not have a playoff system and/or incentive structure that influences conferences to properly "stack" teams to maximize playoff and bowl opportunities. The new playoff system motivates the SEC and B1G to have the top-4 to top-6 or so of its teams all at the same record/level/etc. for as long as possible.
  13. +7500 as of the screenshot I just took. Tied for 7th. Tied for 12th EDIT - crap - wrong screenshot
  14. There are a shitload of BYU grads in Austin these days. Many of my BYU grade work friends traveled, too. Record low for beer sales, I suspect.
  15. I do not disagree w/ you, but I cannot help but be a little worried. That's what parents do. I do not want to deter her from going, but want to make sure she is aware of what is going on there. She is. In fact, doing something like that might actually be good for me
  16. Daughter #1 (UT undergrad) teaches MS in the Bronx. Completed her masters at Hunter College in NYC and recently was awarded a 1-week study abroad in... Cuba. They have a Cuban professor sponsor, but... Not like that person will magically keep power on 24 hours a day and help with fresh water. It does not happen until Feb, but I must admit that I am a tad nervous.
  17. It definitely did not age well. Nor did I expect what happened in the 2nd half. I'm somewhat optimistic for what could follow...
  18. Wow.
  19. Man. Seems like Collinsworth is the president of the Russ Wilson fan club.
  20. My brother has been insisting that Tomlin is the problem. Not convinced of that yet, but hiring of Arthur Smith surprised me. I cannot tell if he’s bad or if he has a bad roster to deal with. I feel like we are seeing PIckens peak years being squandered.
  21. Been “not clutch” for many years. Steelers need around a 14 point lead heading into the 4th quarter for a “guaranteed” win. Seems like they always give up long drives late in the 4th.
  22. Tend to agree that the OL has struggled for a few years. Problem tonight looks like shitty tackling.
  23. Lots of missed tackles on the latest NYJ drive. Gonna be a long season if the Jets turn it around w/ Rodgers, who is so miserable
  24. I hope Rodgers gets sacked 10 times and throws 3 INT. I am a Steelers fan (both parents born in Pittsburgh) and a Rodgers disliker.
