  1. I’m going ahead and posting my Texas Florida post-game thoughts now to get ahead of the curve. “Arch was precise and efficient today. His stats were just as good as they needed to be leading into OU. Overall the Horns looked very good. Not too many penalties. The running game was solid. The WR group looked better. Of course the defense was exactly what we expected. I’m pumped about the OU game next week. Arch will unleash the deep ball several times. This game was just what Texas needed going into next week.”
  2. Finally finished the Cowboys Netflix documentary. I thought it was extremely well done. They focused too much on a small number of players, but I thought Jones did a decent job not exercising too much editorial control over the content. The program also gave me some peace of mind. If the Cowboys get their act together and win something, awesome. But if they don’t, then I will be comfortable knowing that Jones will have died with the knowledge that he was a complete failure at the one thing in life that meant more to him than anything else. That’s not a bad feeling.
  3. Tim Tebow is the most over-rated QB in NCAA history. There. I said it.
  4. If the universe were fair, LBJ would be merged back into Reagan and we would resume our rightful position at the top of Texas high school football.
  5. I’ve seen Leaks, Earl, Ricky, Cedric, Jamaal, Priest, and Bijan all play live many many times. They are all awesome. However, Earl and Ricky are without a doubt the greatest running backs to ever put on the Texas uniform. They were both incredible. Of course I can’t talk to pre-1970.
  6. IMO, this is a Top Ten Surly/Shaggy thread. Focus on just enchiladas is the greatest thing ever.
  7. This is the type of short-term thinking that has doomed the Democratic Party for a long time. Meanwhile, starting with Rush Limbaugh over thirty years ago, then Fox News, and now Project 2025, the Republicans have had a detailed multi-decade plan they’ve been implementing that crosses the judicial branch, executive branch, local and state politics, and communications programs with a consistent set of messages and strategies. But sure, just go ahead and assume the Democrats can do well in 13 months by throwing some shit together in July next year to try to win. I’m sure it will work great
  8. So I understand the frustration of just saying to shut down the government, but if the Dems don’t do it in the context of winning the propaganda war they will not do well in the mid terms. And that is the real goal. Once again, the Democrats can’t get out of the way of their own bad/no strategies.
  9. Aren’t the Democrats setting up for complete failure? They talk about Medicaid as one of the main reasons. But a bunch of poor people aren’t going to make a difference to enough senators. The Democrats will have to cave when the general public blames them for the shutdown.
  10. From what I understand it is not a simple majority vote. They have to have some Democrat votes.
  11. Pittman OL’s, when they at least had some level of talent, produced very strong running games. I’d love to have him as an analyst here.
  12. Well it looks like he’s still undefeated. Done. Any other requests?
  13. I just binge watched the four hour hbo special. The most interesting fact was the two detectives pleading with the medical examiner to not take the bodies until they could check for DNA samples. Those two guys deserve a lot of credit.
  14. As this pic shows, the tool bar now floats in the middle of the page on safari ios 26.
  15. Tech is definitely rolling out cash for top recruits. The good news is that the powers that be in college football aren’t going to put up with Tech, of all programs, turning into a top elite program. They will figure out how to stunt those mental midgets.
  16. Yes, he wrote a fictitious story about a recruiting trip to Texas that included women romancing each other. But..:it wasn’t fiction, or was it? Nah. Ya. Nah. Ya.
  17. The first time I watched it, I thought it was the dumbest movie I’d ever seen. However, I changed my mindset and watched it again, the next time just rolling with the stupidity. It’s now one of my favorite comedies ever and I’ve seen it probably ten times. It is a genius movie but you have to get comfortable with dumb. Embrace dumb.
  18. “You suck more!” ”No, you suck more!”
  19. No way. He must be innocent. He would have been stuck in traffic for an hour.
  20. If Texas plays OSU in the playoffs I think Texas beats them by 17.
  21. Michigan, Auburn, LSU, Georgia, Penn State, A&M, OU, and ND are not as good as people think they are. OSU, Ole Miss, Oregon, and Miami are as good as people think they are. Texas and Tech are better than people think they are, right now (as compared to preseason, when Texas was number one).
  22. As both a Rangers and Astros fan, this has been an incredibly frustrating season.
