  1. Reggie was a freak. The most annoying part of that Heisman race was all the people counting his kick return yards in his final stats down the stretch. "Reggie Bush had 385 total yards tonight!" and 200 of it would be special teams or some shit.
  2. I missed those posts, fair enough. One thing I'll say is this has to be worst year of college QB play I can remember. Maybe some end up being great NFL QBs down the line. But absolute dogshit this season.
  3. But nobody said they wanted Drew Allar or Riley Leonard. The criticisms of Quinn weren't couched in wanting some other team's QB. We just happen to have a starter and backup that were both considered #1 prospects out of HS. It's a good problem to have I guess. But let's be clear that specifically having Arch Manning on this team is why Quinn gets more heat from Texas fans. Is that fair? Maybe not. Is it understandable? Yes, IMO. FTR, I think Quinn will play his best tomorrow and lead us to victory. But the chest puffing because some dipshit QBs for PSU and ND sucked is dumb.
  4. This past summer I took my 7 year old on his first trip to Los Angeles. Stayed at my aunt's house in Brentwood Hills. Every morning we'd take Sunset to PP and eat at the Palisades Garden Cafe for pancakes. A windy, scenic drive. Then we'd take the PCH and hang out in Malibu for the day. Being from Houston the topography and natural beauty was magical to him. I promised we'd do that trip this summer as well. And now it looks to be all gone. Hopefully my aunt's house survives.
  5. View from my aunt and uncle’s house on Westridge Rd. near Mandeville Canyon. This is from yesterday afternoon I believe. They are optimistic but not in the clear.
  6. I had no idea about this deal, but ran across this interview on Youtube. Hard for me to watch people being cruel. I fucking hate bullies.
  7. I caught Rikki Rocket's drumstick at a Poison show in The Woodlands in high school. LMAO. Decided to give it to a friend who was a massive fan, worth it just to see him display it like the Holy Grail.
  8. Fuck Zuck. Cuck.
  9. This is about offense in general, but breaks down some good and bad Quinn plays.
  10. Is it right that the last time we weren't favored was at Alabama last year?
  11. I saw Midlake in a small Houston club around 2007. Was with a big group that was mostly interested in staying near the bar during the opener, so I decided to go up front. This tiny girl with big red nerdy glasses walks on stage and proceeds to blow my mind for 45 minutes. Never seen anything like her and I'll always remember that moment. I'm glad Annie Clark made it big, truly deserving and an amazing talent. I always come back to this great cover.
  12. The silver lining with the placekicker situation is it will force Sark and Quinn to be more aggressive. Maybe it backfires, but I believe we need gunslinger Quinn to win this game.
  13. I guess never say never, but I'd be floored if Sark went to the NFL after this year. One, it would send shockwaves through the sport. Sark is probably the most well positioned HC in all of CFB right now. NIL, recruiting, portal, coaching staff, and Arch Manning for the next 2+ years...nobody has it better. He has a decided advantage over most of the competition. From the NFL side, play calling and game management are probably Sark's biggest weaknesses so far at Texas. The things he's proven to be best at for Texas don't really translate to NFL head coaching. Way more parity in pro football that should take the shine off Sark for most GMs IMO. Then from Sark's point of view, he got the job as OC for the Falcons after a short stint as an Alabama analyst. He was promptly fired 2 years later when Dan Quinn decided to clean house with coaching staff. Sark then immediately returned to Alabama as OC. The NFL can chew you up and spit you out. Why risk an amazing situation for a tenuous one? Doubtful he would get more money in the NFL. He'd most likely take over a crappy team with a not ideal QB situation. I get that there is WAY more bullshit and travel involved in CFB, but who's to say he doesn't like it? He's clearly very good at it.
  14. Add Michigan to that list. Wingo's 55 yard end around inflated the stats. The running game was effective enough, but we didn't run it particularly well.
  15. The lesson here: do not try to fuck a Los Angeles Persian girl. There are consequences.
  16. I was high last night and ran into this clip on YouTube. What. The. Fuck.
  17. I want to thank Ohio State for playing extremely well the last 2 games after shitting themselves against Michigan. Texas being a clear underdog for the first time this year is just what they needed to wake up and play their best.
  18. Football is complicated. There is so much nuance to the game, that's what makes it the best sport in the world. If you don't want to participate in detailed discussions, that's your prerogative. But please don't talk down to people because you're not willing to go deeper. We didn't really run the ball well vs. Michigan. Take out Wingo's 55 yard end around, and our leading rusher was 36 yards from Gibson on 10 carries. Running was effective enough, but what made our offense click was Quinn's efficiency and getting RZ TDs.
  19. Can someone give me a good reason for Helm not being involved until late in the game? I have a hard time believing Sark can't scheme plays for him. Felt like this happened in 2nd UGA game as well.
  20. It happens in many ways. A ST or defensive touchdown and penalties that extend opponent's drives. This game went off schedule very early. A part of that was our own decision to go for a punt block after the first drive.
  21. When I see all this AI "art" bullshit, I think back to Thujone's artistic genius. We need him. The world needs him.
  22. Tip for Tessitore: when you call every play like it's the biggest play of the game, then none of the actual big play calls have any gravitas behind them. Stop. Get help.
