  1. Now do they do that fuck the football celebration again? That's a fucking amazing catch.
  2. Their backups are going to score on our backups and I'm going to be pissed.
  3. She's dead. I don't think she cares any more.
  4. Score a touchdown and go for two.
  5. I want to hear a coach complain about how we ran up the score. Just for nostalgia's sake.
  6. Right now he's pretty much the only one.
  7. We had a head coach that squatted to pee back then. That man was scared of his own shadow. He's a good head coach, but without Vince Young carrying his ball sack for him, he doesn't have a national title to his credit, and his legacy looks very different than it does now. Well, and if Colt didn't get hurt (drink!). If Sarkisian will just handle it like a man, it will be fine.
  8. Archie Manning pulling some James Street shit there.
  9. I think you're missing a critical 1 in there somewhere.
  10. Cook caught an early pass.
  11. Are they fucking the football on the sidelines? I mean, I'm all for it if it leads to more turnovers. Fuck the football every time.
  12. It's a general comment not meant to be taken seriously. But yeah, you're a whippersnapper to me.
  13. Oh, I'm going to panic. Don't you worry about that. All you whippersnappers who have been fans from 2010 to 2023. That was my second go around after 1984 to 1997. I don't believe anything any more.
  14. Right now I'm wondering why we brought him in. Practice depth?
  15. I mean, I hope none.
  16. I believe you're about to make a measurable difference on this thread. Just need to keep it up. Don't stop this game, either. We have a whole season for you to change the culture. Of the internet.
  17. This absolutely hilarious Dr. Pepper commercial about backups is a little lost on me right now.
  18. The good news is we didn't get inside the 20, so it doesn't even really count.
  19. Fuck Vanderbilt. Fuck Tim Beck. Fuck Vanderbilt's fucking kicker.
  20. "This is the story of the 2023 Cornhuskers as they experience another shortcoming, this time at the hands of the Texas Longhorns, who dominated them in a fashion in the championship match hitherto unseen in the rally era." Fixed it for them. I also feel like Nebraska doesn't get enough credit as a farm program for Texas. I like to look over their current roster to speculate who we're going to swipe next.
  21. They had a good defense industry prior to 2014 when all of this started. As part of the Soviet Union, Ukraine was a key component in defense industry manufacturing. One of the issues for Putin when it became obvious he wasn't going to be able to get Ukraine completely under his thumb with Yanukovych as a president for life was the loss of Ukraine manufacturing. But a substantial amount of it was based in the Donbas, so it's complicated. In 2012 it was the 4th largest arms exporter in the world. Here's the Wikipedia article about it. I apologize for not providing a more robust source, but this does give a good overview. Defense industry of Ukraine - Wikipedia
  22. The 4 coaches are trying to create big events that attract big crowds, are featured on some kind of linear TV network, and push the narrative of volleyball as a growing sport. My best guess is that this will be a floating invitational, with matches held in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area, the Dallas area and then the San Francisco area, not necessarily in that order. It's being done purposefully. I also feel like there's some shared reluctance between Texas and Nebraska to schedule one another in any kind of way, so it's important to include programs that can bring people to the event. Wisconsin is the second best at doing that after Nebraska, and Minnesota is in the top 5 as well. Stanford is terrible at it, but they're a big time name program. We beat Nebraska in the national championship when 70%+ of the crowd were Cornhusker fans. I appreciate where you're coming from but there are other factors involved than simply the neutral court designation.
  23. Orange/White scrimmage going on right now. The starting lineup seems set, with Skinner/Wenaas, Ames/Singletary, Rutherford, Halter, and then Akana as the DS. My assumption is that Wenaas will go 6 rotations for the other spot, but I don't really know. Bunton is playing, which is amazing news. Rutherford is in sweats. Kahahawai is taking her place at opposite. Emerick is the Orange team's libero. I'm not there. Just reading the commentary on volleytalk from people who are. No stream.
  24. We Are Texas feature talking about the national championship season last year. The first episode of 3. It's about 11 minutes long. We Are Texas | Episode 1 - Longhorn Network The next two episodes will be released on the 29th of August and then September 5. It's a little strange hearing the new assistant talk about the team when she's only been there a couple of months, but I get it.
  25. The AVCA preseason poll always overvalues last season. Understandable. Not really critiquing that dynamic. But Georgia and Tennessee should be switched, and Arkansas has as much business being in the preseason poll as University of San Diego last year. By that I mean none. Arkansas lost pretty much everything. Maybe Tennessee surprises me. They do return their setter, Caroline Kerr, and she's extremely good. #15 is still too high, though, IMO.
