  2. Thank you! My old man and myself were trying to figure out who the hell's signature that was at a tailgate.
  3. I'm just tuning in to watch the dumbasses not understand that history is typically measured against contemporaries. Shit changes over time. Cumulative stats are inflated by longer careers/terms of service. Only someone with the brain of a child would judge the following simply by their counting stats instead of their impact on history: Rolls Royce Silver Ghost vs. Honda Civic: Ghost has a top speed of 60 mph and a 4 speed clutch. Honda Civic runs away with it. Jesse Owens vs. Derrick Florence (1986 Galveston Ball HS): Florence would smoke Owens 10.13 to 10.3. Red Grange 1925 vs. Keaontay Ingram 2019: Ingram's 853 yds exceed the Galloping Ghost by about 250 yds. So I guess some of us would say that the Honda Civic was a better car than the Silver Ghost, Derrick Florence is a better athlete than Jesse Owens, and that Red Grange was an inferior running back to Keaontay Ingram. The rest of us would say that times change, and of course Jesse Owens is a better historical athlete than some rando high school kid none of us has ever heard of. To wit: VY Street Colt Layne Ewers Ewers jumps Layne with a title. Shoutout to Carlisle and Phillips for winning titles.
  4. Was just referencing the whole Dabo thing. He’s cooked going forward.
  5. Unfortunately, the purview of the modern college football coach includes that exact thing.
  6. We saw this song and dance with Clemson. Matchup announced Initial reactions range from "Texas slaughters them" to "Texas wins comfortably" Talking heads start saying "well actually..." to position themselves as contrarian and present a dissenting opinion as part of the natural news cycle More talking heads start parroting the possibility of an upset Prominent talking heads give airtime and credence to the idea that the plucky underdog actually is pretty damn good and identify Texas as a team vulnerable to an upset Fans of both teams start buying the media version of reality. Texas fans start shitting themselves in fear, underdog fans start believing they actually have a chance Gameday arrives, Texas wins by 2 touchdowns and covers.
  7. I grabbed -12.5 this morning on Mybookie. Free money indeed.

  9. I'm limiting myself to things I saw live. Vince 4th and 5 Self explanatory Shipley '08 kickoff return in the Shootout Gooners were number 1, we looked dead in the water against them up until that point. Then Shipley ran from end to end the fastest I've ever seen and the rest of that season took off. Run Ricky Run Breaks the record against the Aggos. Perfect. Roll Left Mackovich rolls the dice and we dethrone the king. '05 Red River Shootout We break the wall down. Jamaal Charles. Rodrique Wright. Billy Pittman. Bomar. It was cathartic.
  10. I'm rooting for the meteor.
  11. Yes, let's argue about the functional geography of the Metroplex. Between all the citing of sources, anecdotes, and personal attacks that'll get this thread at least three more pages.
  12. Baba O'Reilly - The Who More Than a Feeling - Boston Panama - Van Halen If You Want Blood (You've Got It) - AC/DC Good Times Bad Times - Led Zeppelin Shapes of Things - Jeff Beck Group Under Pressure - Queen/David Bowie Even The Losers - Tom Petty Reelin' in the Years - Steely Dan Against the Wind - Bob Seger Honorable Mention: Authority Song - John Cougar Mellencamp My Wave - Soundgarden How Soon is Now - The Smiths Cherub Rock - Smashing Pumpkins Cinnamon Girl - Neil Young Empty Pages - Traffic On any given day the order changes.
  13. Glad to see I'm not the only one that does this.
  14. When the announcers said Bond was out, my seven year old son said “Daddy! Bond isn’t playing, that means we’re going to win!” We agree with your analysis.
  15. Payment rendered!
  16. I get the whole resume argument, and Bama did shit the bed this year when they shouldn't have, but does anyone actually think SMU is better than the Tide? I'd bet the house on Bama rolling SMU.
  17. Texas 31 Dawgs 24 27 rushes for 136
  18. Well, previously we sucked. And we weren’t dropping bags to the degree our competitors were. No one wanted to play for Fuckface Tom Herman for free. Now that we’re on the upswing, and can pay above board, recruiting there became feasible.
