  1. Sark on espn says they will go back to more tempo on offense. He had been slowing things down and relying on defense. I think that’s a good idea. Whenever a college team tries to shrink the game with fewer possessions and slower pace, they open themselves up more to upsets. A few plays going the wrong way makes games much closer than they should be given the talent differential. Tressel at OSU used to have that problem.
  2. So these mysterious free web site streams have to be getting something out of it, or they wouldn’t be doing it. What, exactly are they getting? It isn’t advertising revenue except for some tiny pop up ad aids revenue. It isn’t user subscription fees. It has to be organized crime dumping malware on your computer to monitor your keystrokes so that they can steal everything you own.
  3. If you cancel yttv, all you’re doing is strengthening Disney’s bargaining position, which will lead to much higher yttv and Disney streaming prices. It’s not helpful.
  4. Aren’t you the person from the other thread that doesn’t even believe in aliens? If you won’t even accept that, then ghosts have got to be a bridge too far. Anyway, I have had one encounter that I can’t explain. My college roommate died of a heart attack when he was 40 ish. One night in the middle of the night about six years ago I woke up in the middle of the night for no particular reason. I sat up in bed, which I never do. Why I did that night, I don’t know. All of a sudden from the right side of the room appeared my roommate. He proceeded to walk past me from right to left, cackling the whole way in a bellowing laugh, as if he knew he was fucking with me. Which is exactly something he would do. He’s that kind of guy. It’s almost like he decided to fuck with me that night just to see my reaction. After a few seconds of this he disappeared into the wall to my left. To just preempt the questions, yes I was awake. I was not dreaming. I sat there for a few minutes, thought about how weird that was, then laid back down and went to sleep. I never once questioned what I’d seen. I know what I saw.
  5. To get the number one girl, look for 3. You are supposed to subtract 2 from it. For number 2, look for number 1. You are supposed to add 1 to number 1. For number three, look for number 4. You are supposed to subtract 1 from it. For number 4, look for number 2. You are supposed to add 2 to it. For number 5, just look for number 5. This system is way more sensible than the JT approach.
  6. We all are going to have to think differently about this situation because the future is going to get way way worse. The US has multiple market dominant companies, and consolidation is continuing, especially in the media space. Tome Warner will soon get scooped up. The end game here in 24-36 months is market control so deep that consumers are raped of every possible dollar they have. ESPN and Fox have a duopoly over college football and we will all be paying out the ass for their content. We’ve already been modifying our behaviors to slowly wean ourselves off sports. I can afford $100-400 per month for TV, but I just don’t want to pay that. Eff it. We are done on the NFL. College football remains as the one sport we are still struggling to care less about, but we are preparing.
  7. Yup. Will expand on this later I literally spit up a fajita all over the dinner table when I read this. Hahahahaha.
  8. Don’t worry everyone. A new Fed Chairman is coming, along with a new round of QE, so that mortgage rates will drop and a whole new asset bubble on top of the previous asset bubble will emerge. Bubble Squared! To really cement wealth concentration even more. Yay?
  9. Too many white guys.
  10. We were planning to go but wife got sick. I guessed it’s Ebola. She’s not amused.
  11. My guess is that Arch hasn’t been ruled out because Sark wants to make it more difficult for Vandy to prep. The reality is that playing a week after concussion is tricky. Aikman talked about doing it once and he said he was in a fog that whole game and was terrible. Even if he plays, he might be too foggy to be effective. The last thing he needs is another shaky game.
  12. This is a textbook surly example of a really stupid post.
  13. We’ve got Butler back!!!!!
  14. Nobody knows shit about fuck regarding how Caldwell will perform vs Arch. We all learn together Saturday.
  15. This is what I was mentioning earlier. While we’ve all been frustrated by the visible miss of open receivers, there are things he’s doing behind a dog shit offensive line that are incredible.
  16. That’s quite an analysis based upon one whole pass completed this year.
  17. I think a lot of folks on this board are underestimating the challenge the Texas offense will have without Arch under center. We’ve all been pretty harsh on Arch, a lot of it deserved. However the play calling and schemes have not done a good job of recognizing the OL and WR issues and putting Arch in a better position to succeed. As Sark tries to adjust to a more short passing game, he’s going to try and grind out a win with the run and short passes. The Vanderbilt defense will know this and will stuff the line of scrimmage. With our OL issues, it could get very rough to score points. Conversely, not having Taaffe making defensive calls and recognizing the plays pre snap will make the defense more vulnerable. Every one of us should be tickled with an overtime 13-10 win, with the vaunted Vanderbilt QB fumbling away the game at the 5 yard line.
  18. Ok, which recycled poster is scramblyn?
  19. I needed this thread. I’ve been in a deeper funk than Texas for the last two weeks. And as for the above poster’s thought of beating A&M 3 times this year, that would almost be better than a title just because it would talked about for eternity .
  20. I came to catch up on this thread and noticed several new pages. There wasn’t one useful or interesting post today. That’s pathetic.
  21. Watched the full game again this morning. A few observations: It was ironic seeing ex-Texas players make so many big plays against Texas. Arch had some really good, some bad. The OL not giving him time was a bigger issue than Arch in this game. Also, receivers dropped a lot of passes. Key penalties saved their ass. They never quit. That’s pretty cool. The entire game never felt good. That is such a drag. With Sark very likely leaving, it’s a huge bummer to start over, because they will likely take some significant step backwards.

    Niblett!

    make him the center. He’ll be in on every play and the OL will be upgraded.
  23. Just to add to the frustration over Sark, he took two of the best QB prospects in years and under-developed them. Meanwhile, the hefty one and his new OC down the road took Marcel Reed, who was a disaster last year, and just turned him into the Heisman front runner.
