  1. Scariest movie I saw in high school was Midnight Express. Gave me nightmares for months. After I saw it, my parents never had to worry about me ending up in prison or visiting Turkey, I can sure tell you that.
  2. Wide Receivers coach? The same "jaw-dropping" phrase as used for the Ohio State guy? Sure, that may seem a bit sketchy, but the rest of the post rang true to my ears: Really cool of Flood to not leave our struggling backwater of a program in Podunk, TX for that big powerhouse. Plus, the rivalry means everything.
  3. This showed up in my Facebook feed today: 𝑩𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑵𝑬𝑾𝑺: 𝑻𝒆𝒙𝒂𝒔 𝑳𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒔’𝒔 𝑾𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒆𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝑪𝒐𝒂𝒄𝒉/𝑶𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝑲𝒚𝒍𝒆 𝑭𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒂 𝒋𝒂𝒘-𝒅𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 $3 𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒆𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒊𝒂 𝑩𝒖𝒍𝒍𝒅𝒐𝒈𝒔.
  4. I haven't seen any of these write-ups address the elephant in the room: who fills the Big Douche role that has been such an important part of OU football? Who is the next Bosworth or Stutsman? Note: It has to be a player, even though Venables is beginning to excel.
  5. OK, cool. But I don't think you need to own a Porsche to understand that they can go fast.
  6. I like the QB middle screen where the OL lets the defense in and Arch passes to himself before running between the hashes.
  7. So I guess he will be taking Taffe's number next year, right? 16 is becoming a pretty good number on both offense and defense.
  8. He loves opining about NFL quarterbacks but rarely says anything about other positions other than, "I think he's really good." Dude is always confident in his wrongness though.
  9. The pizza talk is fine and all, but it just doesn't have the pizzazz of chicken fried steak.
  10. Everyone's complaining about Portnoy, but maybe you are the subject of Portnoy's complaint?
  11. I'm going to guess money or pussy. What else is there?
  12. So glad Whittington is off in LA. Otherwise, he could have been shot in the face.
  13. Some good news: As schools adapt to the new era in college sports in the aftermath of the House settlement, the USC Trojans have reportedly made significant cuts to their athletic department. The House v. NCAA ruling allows schools to allocate up to $20.5 million to student athletes this year with that figure increasing incrementally over the next 10 years. The revenue share model is the first of its kind in college athletics, and adjustments were bound to be made across the country as schools search for additional revenue streams. According to Ryan Kartje of the Los Angeles Times, USC has eliminated 12 jobs within its athletic department in order to cut costs after the House settlement took effect on July 1. https://www.si.com/college/nil/nil-news/big-ten-athletic-department-eliminates-multiple-positions-house-settlement
  14. The Athletic's bit on football rivalries also comes with some hilarity. We are listed three times, including UT-OU at #3, followed by aggy (#15) and piggie (#38). Aggy has us, LSU (#71), and--checks notes--Baylor (#74).
  15. This quote about the series record from ol' R.C. is so aggy: “They like to count the times when our guys were all fighting the war, in World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam."
  16. I get the sentiment, but that's not the goal of a college education nor should it be. Thankfully, there's more to life than finance and tech. Lots of people have different callings and there are lots of decent jobs out there in lots of decent areas. I can't afford a White Lotus vacation but have been happy doing the work I do and making the tradeoffs I have made. Also, I've been able to get my kids through college and grad school without debt, so that's a win in life. All that said, yeah, it's still Ole Miss, a provincial backwater of an institution still gripped by a racist past, though they are growing their Texas network.
  17. I've got a good friend who is a UT grad (MD) and met his wife (JD) on campus. They fully expected their kids to go to UT. All three went to Ole Miss. They had respectable if not top tier SATs but didn't grind through high school to have the stellar GPAs. Ole Miss made them all a good deal and once the first one went, it was easy for the next two. I think it's fairly well known those schools are targeting upper-middle class Texas kids thinking it will build their future alumni donor base beyond the Juniors and Bobby Sues in their own state.
  18. That's a fun basketball conference, Oregon State will continue to make some CWS appearances, and the PAC will have at least one bowl win over some "name" from the SEC or BIG.
  19. "Who you are some of the time is who you are all of the time." --Steve Sarkisian (and others)
  20. Just watched James Johnson's highlights and yeah, he'd be a good get. It's hard to watch linemen on the shitty high school video from 30,000 feet away, but as soon as the play starts you know exactly where he lined up because the offensive lineman nearest him is going backward.
