  1. Brandon Baker taking over for Cam Williams in more ways than one.
  2. Okay okay okay. More of this. I don't care about the result. I just want to see Arch not look like complete poo.
  3. I would agree with a lot of that. Right now I'm in the moment, and the moment is telling me this is the apocalypse unfolding. But the truth is what I've seen beats pretty much everyone on the schedule other than Georgia. But Arch Manning has to improve. The moment was definitely too big for him. Maybe that's normal given the circumstances, but it was still disappointing to see. I'll say this. I watched Colt McCoy his first two years as a starter and thought, "Well, he'll get recruited over." He threw a bunch of interceptions, and more than that, he seemed to throw so many passes that should have been interceptions that weren't. Then in 2008 and 2009 I thought, "well, that opinion didn't age well. This dude is a magician." There are 3 games before we head to Gainesville. Manning simply has to get better. This is not a starting level division I performance.
  4. "It's not over yet," says Gus. Narrator: It's over.
  5. That's the way it looks to me. They did just overcome the illegal formation penalty.
  6. So I feel like Fox just trolled Bjork a little bit. This offseason he changed the third quarter/4th quarter song from Hang on Sloopy. OSU fans were pissed. Going into commercials at the end of the 3rd quarter Fox just played the song.
  7. Why will it be unbearable? He's looked like ass. If he didn't have all this hype he'd still be hearing it this week. I know he can throw better than he has today, but to be perfectly honest the moment has been too big for him so far.
  8. He could be fielding it on the second bounce like Silas Bolden did.
  9. Why? 1984 to 1986 was the beginning of the end. Very akin to 2010 to 2013. I don't want to appear ungrateful, but it is what it is. 1984 to 1997 and 2010 to 2022 were our dark periods. Those were the coaches during those periods. Akers earned his right to be on that list.
  10. We're Genghis Khan. To the rest of the SEC: "If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you."
  11. The Longhorn Weekly coaches show that Craig Way hosts with Steve Sarkisian had Jamaal Charles and Duane Akina as guests, and the two of them told some fun stories about the 2005 game. It's worth a listen, IMO. And I don't usually say that about the coaches shows. They talked about Charles' catches and runs, including the 8 yarder on 3rd down and 6 to convert a first on the winning drive. They also focused on his tackle of AJ Hawk on the interception VY threw. He missed the tackle the first time, popped up, hurdled over two defenders (Craig Way interjected to say that Charles had the best time in the hurdles his senior year in high school) and then decleated Hawk at the 18 yard line to save the touchdown. Sarkisian used the conversation in part to talk about the fact Charles had 16 snaps in that game as a true freshman, but Charles made those snaps extremely impactful. Akina talked about how Charles was the best safety he never got to coach. After Charles made the tackle Akina said over comms he needed him in the DB room. He didn't realize Mack Brown was on the head set at that moment but Brown immediately responded, "Not a chance."
  12. Warned? I'm excited! Arkansas fans are too downtrodden to be truly insufferable. They're just filled with hate. And Aggies...well, I don't have to tell anyone on this board about Aggies. They're short bus special.
  13. ...Fred Akers, David McWilliams, John Mackovic. There's definitely a list.
