  1. I thought their defense would be decent, but I’ve been surprised they’ve been able to score some points. I thought their OL was trash, the WR’s over-rated, and the QB mistake prone.
  2. Several well-respected shaggy posters have consistently said that the talent at A&M, particularly the transfer talent, isn’t as good as their current performance indicates. Nor is their offense as good as it seems. I guess we will see. However, how awesome would it be to see the rubes increase his salary to some stupid level and extend the contract to some stupid date, only to realize late next year he isn’t the guy. That would be so fun to watch. Thank you James Franklin.
  3. You are so passionate in defense of her. So, I went back and reviewed all of her 70+ roles…and came to the exact same conclusion I did originally. She had a few decent roles but has received huge adoration, from people like yourself, that was disproportionate to her actual work. She didn’t suck in all roles, or even most. She’s just over-rated, in many of her roles.
  4. Wow, the pretzel bending on this thread has gotten interesting. Venables as the top defensive mind in the game?
  5. I strongly urge Texas to submit to the league office the 13 times OU held that weren’t called. Wff em.
  6. Meh, a marriage of two losers. FYI the guy that closed the Nike Texas deal is sitting in the C suite of Nike. Texas will be fine in any new deal.
  7. Yesterday was great. They had a nice mix of running and passing. However………… I’m fed up with watching dozens of other college offenses easily and very quickly complete 5 yard slants, 5 yard button hooks in open spaces, and 5 yard outs or ins, while Texas rarely if ever does this. Our short passing game almost always consists of bubble screens behind the line of scrimmage. The problem with this approach is that the defense can basically play the run and still handle the bubble screens. That reduces the effectiveness of the running game and that puts Texas into too many 3rd and long plays once they blow up the bubble screen. It also makes the offense more vulnerable to sacks. For Christ’s sake mix in a few quick hitter short pass plays, especially the slant. Why does Sark hate the slant?? #sarkhatestheslant. #bringbacktheslant.
  8. Arch is improving. He played well yesterday. Sark schemed better for him in the game. I did notice he never gets rid of the ball fast on the very first quick read. I wonder if that’s because Sark isn’t scheming many routes where guys get open quickly across the line of scrimmage, or whether he’s late with the reads. He had to step up and go to second reads a lot yesterday.
  9. I know, right? What are we supposed to say to the other 198 guys on this board?
  10. If you’re getting ejected from your daughter’s water polo matches you may have some problems to address.
  11. Unpopular opinion? She was highly over-rated and a terrible choice as Michael Corleone’s girlfriend/wife. But…rest in peace?
  12. If you weren’t giving handies to some ESPN executive somewhere, you never would have been on the air. You would have been fired again, just like you were at The Ticket in Dallas.
  13. He needs to post a sequel.
  14. One of the really cool things about Niblett is that he almost didn’t sign with Texas, but did, and then seriously considered transferring several years because he was having difficulty breaking into the lineup somewhere. But didn’t. Now he’s a legend in the Texas OU series. Hook Em.
  15. I’m talking about ctj lambasting everyone for suggesting he might play.
  16. I was highly confident he wasn’t Heisman worthy but couldn’t prove it yet, until today. Bullshit.
  17. Man. We needed this. Bad. I needed it.
  18. Well you had me convinced, but these posts aged poorly.
  19. There were multiple stories that said the injury was different. What’s the true story?
  20. I have no idea why this post showed up in this thread. Surly isn’t working well with the new IOS
  21. K stands for K*@!(:^# and S stands for S&+$”#{}. I hope that clears things up.
  22. This is an incredible story. I’m sincerely touched by the effort you put into creating great experiences for Texas fans.
  23. Some sort of beef bowl
  24. Ate there for the first time in probably ten years. Have never had a worse salt bomb than that. It’s like they poured an entire canister of salt onto the meat. Terrible food. Will be another ten years before I go back.
