  1. "He's going for the cornerrrrrrrrrr...HE'S GOT IT!!!" I still get choked up every time I hear this. I was jumping around my living room like a lunatic when I was watching this live...silently, as it was about 12:30AM where I live, and my wife was asleep. Unbelievable game, great times.
  2. So...Saban to Texas??? (Yes, I'm joking)
  3. I'm with Greenspoint. We are about to embark on 8 months of no football, so I am going to enjoy this while I can. From the frigid suburbs of Northern Virginia... FIGHT!!!
  4. Check out this troll job: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaafb/adidas-creates-completely-original-look-for-texas-aandms-orange-bowl-uniform/ar-BB1chUuy?ocid=mailsignout
  5. Had a hard time finding this one. Not sure if the link will work, but this is Jimi Hendrix and Band of Gypsies practicing before their New Year's Eve gig at the Fillmore East in December 1969. It's a medely of Little Drummer Boy, Silent Night and Auld Ang Syne, with a little Taps thrown in for good measure. It's a little rough, as it is just a practice session that was not intended for release as a recording, but eventually was released a few years after Jimi's death. Still, his mastery of feedback is incredible. I'm usually a traditionalist when it comes to my Christmas music, but this is Jimi. https://www.elsewhere.co.nz/fromthevaults/5423/jimi-hendrix-little-drummer-boy-silent-night-auld-lang-syne-1969/
  6. Lots of shitty videos from the night crew. Still waiting for the good news that is supposedly on the wire.
  7. Outrageous, and even more outrageous that not one of the other adults present stepped in to stop it. Cowards all, and they should all be banned from coaching and/or officiating.
  8. You and I were on campus during the same time, and I'm sure we attended many of the same games. I was going to highlight these same games in remembering coach Akers. The 1980 Arkansas game had been moved by ABC-TV to Sept. 1, a Monday night, because they wanted the first televised college game of the new decade to be the Texas-Arkansas game. The atmosphere was awesome, the stadium was rocking, and it was an epic ass-kicking of the piggies, highlighted by Jeff Leiding going full Superman and destroying an Arkie kickoff returner. One thing to mention about the 1979 OU game; this was the game where Billy Sims' bid for a second Heisman died. Texas D, led my Steve "Bam Bam" McMichael was in OU's backfield all day. I was sitting behind an older OU couple who turned to each other about mid-way through the third quarter and said, "I've never seen OU dominated like this". The score did not indicate that domination, but it was a dominant performance. Should also mention the 1981 Miami game. Miami had not yet become "The U", but they were on the rise, and had a QB named Jim Kelly. A great game, I most remember for a pass from Rick McIvor from UT's own end zone, about 65 yards on the fly to Herkie Walls, who juggles the pass, pins the ball against his face mask, before falling down, but he made the catch, and Texas went on the score a TD on the drive, winning the game 14-7. Defense made many, many stops, as they always seemed to do when we needed it most. I never worried when the opposing team would get a first and goal, because I knew there was a better than even chance that they would not score, or would be held to a FG. Our defense during this era was just dominating, year after year. Should also point out that the 1981 team finished 10-1-1. Had to come from 14-0 down to pull out a 14-14 tie against Houston. I often wonder what would have happened if we won that game. If my memory serves me correctly, we were ranked in the top 5 above Clemson going into that game, but dropped with the tie. Clemson finished the season undefeated and won the National Championship, but if we had beaten UH, what are the chances we would have remained above them in the rankings? Coach Akers' teams, especially during his first 6-7 years, don't get the recognition they deserve. Coach definitely did the University proud. Hook 'Em, coach, and RIP.
  9. Forgot to add: ZZ Top - DKR, Memorial Day 1974 (First "annual" Rootin' Tootin' Barndance and Bar B Que)
  10. So many to choose from: Monterrey Pop - 1967 Stones - Madison Square Garden November 27, 1969 (Taped for Get Yer Ya Yas Out) Cream - Winterland Ballroom and/or Fillmore West 1968 Johnny Winter - Vulcan Gas Company, any time from 1968-1970, when he was still playing with Tommy Shannon and John Turner Led Zeppelin - Pretty much any show from 1969-1972 Willie - Any show at the Armadillo Frank Zappa - Ditto above for Willie
  11. I think that might go to Rice. Shut out a ranked Marshall team today.
  12. Thread title made me think of this:
  13. I don't know. I never watched Breaking Bad, (I know, I know...I was out of the country most of the time it was on, so never heard of it until it was almost finished) so I don't know what the Jimmy/Saul character was like in that show, but based just on what I've seen in BCS, I think you may be underestimating how much of a self-absorbed prick Jimmy/Saul may be. Then again, I might be wrong.
  14. To be fair, even Mack was 7-9 against OU. It just felt worse than it really was, because most of those 9 losses were complete ass rapings.
  15. The Popeye's commercials where they have random regular folk doing video reviews while eating their chicken sandwiches; especially the one with the guy who has a mouth full of food and his face all in the sandwich saying, "Oh baby, you put a SPELL on ME." Shut your pie hole you fuckin' knob. It's a freakin' chicken sandwich, not some life altering experience. Two slices of white bread bun, deep fried slab of chicken breast, mayo and maybe some pickle slices. Yeah, that sounds spell binding...moron. All told, this shouldn't make me ragey...but it does.
  16. You unwittingly self-diagnosed your problem. Cakewalks to unbeaten seasons do not exist...ever...for anyone.
  17. Premier is tonight, 10PM EDT; 9PMCDT on FXX. Two episodes back to back. I gave up on last season after a couple episodes. I hope this season returns to form.
  18. 4 pitches, 3 outs, game over, 9-1 Texas.
  19. Three up, three down for the 'Horns. 3 more outs, and this one's in the book.
  20. Well, there goes the shut out. 9-1 in top of 8, one on and one out for ACU.
  21. I assume we'll still be able to enjoy the games with Lowell and the guys on LHN?
  22. 'Horns escape a bases loaded jam in top of 6. Still 9-0.
