  1. My score projection is Texas 120 Duke 90
  2. I left Uverse two months ago. Was paying $310 for one tv including internet. Insane. It had risen from $220 in six months. They obviously are raising prices to maximize profits before pulling the plug on the service so. Im currently login whoring yttv and Disney until I figure out what to do.
  3. So no way to watch this given yttv espn issue, right?
  4. I got it. YOUBOOBS. It carries pirated espn telecasts, and boobs.
  5. Has anyone heard of apollogroup.tv? Someone recommended it, but I don’t want to lose a kidney somehow.
  6. I just realized when I voted today that even though I’m in Travis county I’m not subject to the property tax increase for the homeless problem. So I want to encourage you all to approve it so I don’t have to see any homeless people and don’t have to pay for it either. That’s a win win, for me and the homeless anyway.
  7. I love Simmons. He’s one of the most impactful DE’s in Texas history. DE’s that really stood out for me while watching games through the years were Brackens, Dronett, and Orakpo, among others. Simmons is right up there with them. I do think his pro prospects might have some question marks however. His size may make him a bit of a tweener. .
  8. 2 dropped passes, a holding penalty, and now a fumble. I’m not kidding in saying I’d cut Ferguson at half time.
  9. I’m sure Palantir will somehow benefit, thus giving even more money to Trump’s backers.
  10. I worked for a Canadian firm for 7 years, lived in Toronto, spent years in Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa, and Vancouver. A big chunk of the management team I hired were Canadians. So nope. That's not it. That was actually one of the biggest issues. I'm hearing impaired so I have to use captions and by half way through the episode I was exhausted.
  11. I read Perry’s book a few months ago. Fascinating read and it apparently correlates well with Campbell’s book, which I haven’t read yet. I was already a big Petty fan but that book took my appreciation for him to the next level
  12. Started watching it at the suggestion of my BIL. I’m 20 minutes in to episode one and I just don’t get it at all. And I feel terrible because I see all the great reactions here and the high ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. Why aren’t I getting it?
  13. So I reconfigured our setup as a result of my LG TV not performing well with streaming apps. I now use Roku for all streaming apps I’ve also connected an OTA antenna that ties into my house cable runs. Pretty good. Now I need to add a dvr for the OTA.
  14. Sorry. My bad.
  15. I know there’s been a lot of discussion about how to grow the site users, and also bring in more youth. I just want to reiterate again that if a person doesn’t have an account and isn’t logged into the site, the site is basically aids. All of the popup ads make it completely unusable. I just wonder how many new users, and especially young users, take one look at the ad infested site and just keep on going. Is there any way to make the ads less annoying? They are a beat down.
  16. Wow, would Texas get in under that scenario? Maybe yes over Georgia?
  17. I personally think some of y’all are smoking crack if you think a 9-3 Texas gets in as the 5th sec team, unless a whole lotta losing happens with several other teams. The Texas haters on the playoff committee will relish knocking Texas out. The SEC haters will not stand for 5 teams. The close lucky wins over Kentucky and MSU hurt. The fade against Vanderbilt hurts, because many only saw the score, not the game, due to the espn outage. As I sat here and thought about scenarios of who has to win or lose, I realized I probably don’t even care much about 9-3 Texas getting in because that means they lost to Aggie or Georgia, which means they aren’t good enough anyway to win in the playoffs. So I’ve decided they will go 10-2.
  18. Finomenal post. Fantastic.
  19. I’ve pretty much concluded someone on that ref team is on the take.
  20. It’s actually a useful good thread. I’m just effing with you.
  21. Thought about him. Wasn’t he a little bigger and more of a power back? So long ago I can’t remember. edit: how about Hodges Mitchell?
  22. Kids, this is what we call premature ejaculation. Settle down. A long way to go.
  23. Yep. Incredible heart. And I really can’t compare him to other previous Texas RB’s. Several have been mentioned, but he’s just different. He’s not a jitterbug like Fozzy. He’s not bigger with straight line push like Og. He’s not Malcom Brown. He’s not any of our top tier guys (Charles, etc).I don’t remember Samuels very much. Maybe Victor Ike? Nah. But at the end of the day, he’s shifty, he runs hard, he finds holes, he avoids direct contact, but when it’s unavoidable he punishes. I love the guy.
