  1. i’ll predict a tale of two halves, and a much different type of game than many of you are expecting, considering the handful of 2nd collapses we’ve had. we come out a bit flat like the ou sucks game, momentum all on the huskies side. stuffed on runs, a costly turnover, blown coverages. sputtering offense. we’re down 2-3 scores at half. then pk says fuckit and starts sending pressure more frequently and it gets home, the guys settle in, our OL gets nasty, sark opens up the playbook a bit, and we win the turnover battle 2-1. it’s ford and sanders with the big games. we get 3-4 scores in the 2nd and hold them to 1. tex 34 - wash 31 we win, but it won’t be pretty until late in the 4th quarter.
  2. fsu getting hosed was portended all week by the talking heads and committee preaching best teams. it isn’t the most fair decison but it is the correct one. let’s fucking go!!
  3. @Jewish Wang we’re all looking forward to you owning up to being an idiot after polluting this thread with your bullshit.
  4. we are in, have no doubt. it’s bama or fsu for the last spot, and the committee and espn has sent a message all week that they’re unimpressed with fsu despite an undefeated season. i think bama gets in at 4.
  5. texas should be #5 this week, and we’re in if any of the 4 above us lose next week. oregon at 6, bama at 7. most of you hoping for a bama win are also deluding yourselves. in a scenario where georgia, michigan, fsu, all win - and oregon beats wash, it’s us or nike. i think we win every reasonable argument, in that scenario.
  6. no, i’m speaking to you because your opinion has no relevance, and is in fact quite contrary to what we’ve seen the committee do previously. and even replying to you makes me feel like i’m wasting my time with an idiot. in regards to the committee - there’s been absolutely zero examples of a 1-loss champion with a h2h win over another 1-loss champion, where the h2h winner is left out. along with another 1-loss champion with a common opponent, where the team that dominated the common opponent was left out. the fantasy is purely yours, and it’s frankly ridiculous.
  7. you dumb fuck. we’re better than both of these teams, it’s proven on the field.
  8. the majority of you are sucking the cocks of the status quo. we’re not making it if washington, georgia, michigan, and fsu all win next week, and rightfully so. but we should be in if we win, and any of the above mentioned teams lose. we’ve got a h2h win over alabama on the road, a better schedule and wins than oregon including a dominating performance against a common opponent, and both louisville and iowa are not contenders. you guys act like texas is second fiddle to the best, and that’s ridiculous. it’s this simple: texas is the best choice for the cfp, unless all of the 4 above us win.
  9. hahahahaha. this is absolutely hilarious, hahahaha. these fucking idiots just spent 100mil on firing a football coach. it’s gonna be elko. they’ll give him a lower contract but bigger incentives for making and winning in the playoffs. these next couple of weeks are gonna be fun watching them rummage through all the candidates and get shat all over from the media and fans before going to elko. but elko was always the plan. maybe he saw how atrocious jimbo was at running the program and thought, hell i could do better than that dumbass. but, he won’t. i also wonder if they’ve got some sort of non-disclosure as they didn’t find some reason to fire him for cause. so we’re unlikely to get many juicy leaks but to it would sure be fun to read their big donors group chat over the last couple of weeks.. hahahaha.
  10. texas 30 ou 27 this one goes to ot 27-27. 228 rushing it’s closer than we’d like. things don’t break our way for a good chunk of the game, we come out a bit flat. we’re down at half something like 21-13. fear not. but fuck. a repeat of 49-0 would be so damn satisfying.
  11. we’re going to beat the absolute fuck out of the rapists. i think they’re beat in all phases, we get up 24-3ish at half. final is something like 45-10. fuck baylor.
  12. i’ll be watching ewers most closely. expect to see 300+ yards and 3+ tds. against rice, he should be able to find worthy, whittington, mitchell, neyor, and our stable of wr’s with ease. one or two first game jitters are excusable, a tipped pass intercepted or a couple of others well off target, fine, just hit most of the rest of them. i’m not asking for perfection, not for a burrow 2019 or rg3 2011. just show consistency and poise and accuracy. a bit of ehlinger-esque toughness would be nice too, or at least a bit more leadership - let’s see if he’s matured. if he can’t manage that against rice, projecting in the top few rounds of the draft with a potential big12 championship on the way out becomes much less likely. he should be dominant against much less talented teams if he’s going to compete in the nfl next year. he should be very good against equally talented teams also, and we’ll learn more about that next week. hope to see our ground game get established with 200+ yards. with one of our weaknesses being the lack of rb experience, i’d like to see brooks, keilan, and baxter all flash on big plays so we can head to tuscaloosa with a bit of momentum in that room. not only for our own confidence, but having saban need to prep for 3 rb’s couldn’t hurt. on defense, i think giving up 10 should be the maximum expected. a blown coverage td or pick six or big special teams play, and only one decent drive for the owls ending short but within field goal range. let’s get some pressure on jt and get stops on 3rd downs, a couple of turnovers. my pick: 42-3
  13. the drones were launched with full expectation they’d be intercepted. knockin’ on putin’s door was the intention here, mission accomplished. penetrating deep into russia surely sows seeds of doubt and questions of wtf?! internally. so it’s a very bad look for the iron-fisted idiot but it’s also clear that a harder, more hateful fucking is coming. not a good time to be in the kremlin.

    because it's incredibly hateful and damaging. it's completely fucking crazy, put the dude in a mental institution type of shit, it shouldn't be in the arena of public entertainment. they should drop him, like the subway guy or whatever.

    search kanye west in google, then click on news and you'll find every media source on the planet documenting this meltdown. i think it's despicable. the commentary, the coverage, the exposure, all of it. don't give him a platform.

    he needs to hit rock bottom on a personal level and get help. his words don't deserve publication.

    right, so the platform of hate is shared with only the most hateful now. what i'm appalled by as much as the absurd and clearly mentally-ill commentary itself, is more media coverage from the latest crazy shit he's spewing. he's been canceled from any sort of partnership he's had, so why is the media exempt? there should be no stage for hate. and the media publishing his viewpoints grants that insanity to a larger audience. that should not be ok. as for his musical genius, it's not everyone's cup of tea, presumably more so for the past middle aged and predominately white surly crowd. kanye's catalogue includes several albums that are revered among anyone who gives a shit about good music as nearly unanimously groundbreaking and influential. his influence is at the highest tier with the greatest musical talents of all time. objectively, there's very few artists post 2000s that can match kanye's influence and i'd argue he's in a league of his own. ironically, the discussion we're having here is purely because of his influence as no one would give a shit about some rando nazi making stupid nazi comments if it wasn't kanye west himself. i'll propose a climate change analogy. very few scientists object to the overwhelming evidence that supports climate change as an issue that is among the top tier of challenges we've ever faced. if you're denying kanye as being among the most influential artists of all time, you're denying a mountain of evidence that supports the opposite view. his albums are history, but his current views should never see the public eye and it's ludicrous that they have. i'm saying this as a fan. no airtime for asininity. this is far beyond a roger waters type of thing.

    i'm a fan of kanye's music. i've seen him play a couple of times, including a memorable set at the former powerplant during sxsw sometime after the release of MBDTF with jay-z. absolutely a generational talent. he's totally off the rails at this point, it's a full-blown manic episode. while there's no excuses for his outlandish, destructive, violent, hateful rhetoric and behavior, as a fan it's tragic to witness. wish he can find any sort of support system but, his career is effectively over. i find it shocking and reprehensible that the media continues to cover his latest transgressions. he needs to be cut off completely of any sort of media coverage and it's telling that only the very far right is giving him a platform. doubt that will continue. cancel ye, full stop. giving any sort of public stage to his mental illness is utterly abhorrent. appreciate the music and hope you get help, but we don't ever need to hear from you again.
  19. this is true, and it's also amusing that even if ole jimbo does manage to relinquish playcalling to a someone with an offensive pulse - they're still setup to fall short in a myriad of other ways. take their shaky vaunted defense for example. or the potential for a chunk of their top class of all time hitting the portal in a few months. their recruiting strategy of highest bidder attracts some questionably committed players, the type that bust. violations could spring up. internal turmoil with donors pulling support for paying for more players as they crater and crumble and begin to look towards the next thing that would bring them to relevance. durkin is a liability. texas and ou sucks in the sec will be a 1-2 punch for their playoff chances. and jimbo - or i guess they're calling him Fisher now - has proven crab legs was his savant. jimbo/winston is orge/burrow or chizik/newton. fun to watch.
  20. watching ou fucking suck. hahaha.
  21. while ewers' injury was gut-wrenching to see, especially considering the history with colt - card kept his composure against what many thought was the best d in the country, fighting thru injury, limping to first downs, doing his best on the shots downfield. we saw a matured qb, that absolutely has benefited greatly from another year of development and sark deserves a ton of credit for that. he was poised and probably had enough for the W without the injury. and right now, his release is too slow, ability to read a d too confused, and accuracy too consistently off target to be a championship threat. against the top ranked team in the country, it was still damn near enough. the defense was dominant for almost the entire game outside of the 81yd run which was simply a great call perfectly executed by bama. and the soft, late 4th prevent type d with a ton of cushion probably gave us the best shot to get the W, even if we would have liked to keep the pressure on and not change what was working. the d played more cohesively and with more effort than anything seen at texas since 2009 - bo davis energy, patterson input, new talent coming in and other players showing development, finally fucking solid tackling! pk silenced the critics and this d, if it only plays up to the same level, is going to give every remaining team on the schedule a ton of problems. defense made plays at all levels and held the heisman winning qb to a single touchdown. we need sark and card or wright or murphy (or why the hell don't we get rojo in) and the ol to focus on the run game for the next 3. take a few shots downfield and get touches for worthy, whittington, and sanders, but give bijan big yards for these next few. and supplement with rojo, k-rob, etc. keep the lockdown d, and we can slow down on the uptempo stuff while ewers is out and just pound the ball consistently. we'll be 4-1 and top 10 before ewers comes back to haunt ou. i would wager the staff will do whatever they can to get ewers back on the field in dallas. and fuck if that happens, show me a loss.
  22. i think the ags will play up or down to the competition. there’s not enough give a fuck on the team to smash weaker competition. jimbo’s ridiculous salary isn’t tied to winning, and neither are their star recruits payments either. i don’t think they give enough of a fuck, no motivation. i don’t expect them to totally crater but they’ll lose more of the close ones than they should on paper due to the culture. as usual. i’m thinking 5-7 to 7-5 range. a notch below mediocre.
  23. Texas 42 Bama 41 Ewers 231, 19/29, 3TD, 2INT, great effort, electric play with some questionable decisions too. Whittington leads receivers with 92 on 7 catches, 9 targets. Bijan 139, 22 carries, 2TD, shows dominance consistently hammering thru bama's d with a couple of big runs that shift momentum. this is what the best do. Roschon gets stuffed most of the game, then breaks a 24 yard TD late in the fourth, securing the W and Roschon's legacy as a leader. this is what leaders do. it's time.
