Las Vegas go hard or go home thread
On the plane back from my first Vegas trip in 12+ years. Spent three nights there. Probably did around twenty LV trips from 2000-2010. The place is a disaster, hundreds of things went wrong to get to this point. But if I tried to succinctly sum it up, it’s that the casinos stopped giving a fuck about the customer. What used to be a fun, generous, and communal experience turned into “I literally don’t give a single fuck about you” attitude from top to bottom. Employees are miserable, bettors are miserable. The fun is gone. The joy is gone. Corporations destroyed it and Vegas will be a wasteland in 10 years without a miracle turnaround in customer retainment strategy.

Trump’s America
I’m at Las Vegas airport coming back to Texas as we speak. First time I’ve been to LV in about 12 years. This place is cooked. It’s not all because of Trump obviously, but the downfall has been sped up dramatically.

Trump’s America
Yep. I think it’s mostly by choice, but most don’t even know what’s going on.

Thing$ $till not going well for Joe Rogan, I $ee.
I’m with you. Feels like freedom of speech created American exceptionalism but in the end will destroy it as well.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Holy shit enough with stat comparisons from the past .

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
I get your point, but we have entered the period where Arch’s shittiness vs. OSU is being overstated. It’s turned to hysterics at this point, people need to get a grip.

2025 Game Week 2: San Jose State at Texas
We learn if a true sophomore is ready to be our #1 option. We learn that it’s possible to break big plays and score quickly. We learn if Arch and Wingo can build a rapport and get in rhythm. Tired of everyone acting like these games and results are meaningless.

- 2025 Game Week 2: San Jose State at Texas
I'm gonna be pissed if Sark shuts down the offense in second half if we have a comfortable lead at halftime. These players have been through a gauntlet of tough opponents over the last 12 games. Let them have fun and gain some confidence. If only there was a phrase for not letting up and and trying to dominate throughout...- Arch Manning: Scores every way possible

I've found myself watching more InsideTexas this week. Way more Xs and Os talk and currently watching the IT host, Jett Bush & Drew Kelson breaking down film of Texas defense from Ohio St. game.- Shane Gillis
Is Shane Gillis still appearing on Kill Tony? According to YT, he did one a few weeks ago. That's all I need to know. I don't fault him for chasing that bag, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. Comedian podcasts might be the worst thing to happen in entertainment media. I've had to slog through some at my BIL's request, brutal.- Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
LOL, can we give a little grace to CJ Baxter? The dude tore his ACL, spent a year rehabbing, came back earlier than anticipated, and had a positive performance in his first game back against an excellent Ohio State defense. Assuming he stays healthy, I expect him to be more aggressive and break bigger runs as he regains trust in his knee and overall ability.- Shane Gillis
What you described is exactly my problem with Shane Gillis. He's an opportunist and hedges as much as possible. The dude moved to Austin for the comedy scene, and now spends his time shitting on Austin and the comedy scene. He joined the Rogan circle and now is trying to worm his way out of it. He makes fun of Trump but thinks Trump is hilarious. He doesn't want to lose his Trump supporter frat bros or the "liberals" who aren't hyper aware of the comedy/podcast scene and just see his TV appearances.- Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
It's possible the issue is all on Arch, but however Sark/Milwee tried to mentally prepare him for the Ohio State game, please do the opposite moving forward.- Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
But let's use some common sense here. If the assumption is he entered the game injured (based on his terrible first throw to Moore on the rollout), then why would Sark not only call Arch running plays (including 2 inside the 10 and a QB sneak) but say postgame that he should have had run Arch more earlier in the game? People who haven't paid attention also questioned Arch's shoulder stretch/tic/whatever between plays, and it's been noted that he's been doing that since HS. The simplest explanation is he was mentally uncomfortable out there and it affected his mechanics. It's not ideal, but most likely correct. He did look better in the 4th quarter, which would support that theory.- Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Clickbait bullshit.- 2025 Game Week 2: San Jose State at Texas
JFC, guys. We have so much talent and a deep roster, I'm excited to see a lot of young guys play. It sucks that we have three in a row but I still love watching blowouts. Let's get Arch going. A lot of inexperienced offensive players will get good PT over the next month. Which young WRs will step up this week? We should have a Christian Clark sighting for the first time ever in a real game. Nick Brooks should play. Secondary is going to get a lot of action with SJSU throwing the ball a ton.- 2025 Game Week 2: San Jose State at Texas
Maybe, but it feels like there is more disappointment than anger regarding OSU game, and that disappointment probably leads to less engagement for now. Arch's performance was pretty deflating. If Arch has similar timing/mechanics issues on Saturday, the freak out really begins. If he plays well and corrects mistakes (even against a cupcake opponent), people will feel re-energized.- AJ Milwee can't help Sark break through
Milwee's salary is 700k per year. That is not chump change. There could be smaller programs interested in him that we never hear about.- Graceson Littleton- standout freshman DB
With how much SJSU throws the ball, Littleton might get his first pick on Saturday. Excited for this dude's future.- 2025 Ryder Cup -- Bethpage
- AJ Milwee can't help Sark break through
Mahomes has lazy mechanics as well, he's just so talented he can overcome it. The shit he pulls doesn't work for the other 99%.- Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Totally agree. The decision making was fine against a smart and good defense, timing/mechanics were the clear issues. - 2025 Game Week 2: San Jose State at Texas
