  1. Because I have PTSD from the previous 13 years, part of me is looking at this like it's house money. We're bowl eligible and every win from here on out just means a better bowl. I mean, we know for sure that our team is going to get those desperately needed extra bowl practices. Hallelujah! The other part of me will be really pissed if we don't win the conference and play for the national title.
  2. Texas is 13th in the country for points allowed this season, with 128 total. Five of the teams ahead of us play in the B1G, including the top three. We're giving up right at 16 points per game, which puts us at #15 in the country. We're holding opponents to 97.9 yards rushing per game, also good for #15 in the country. We are #36 in total takeaways with 13, but that ranking is skewed by a bunch (and I mean a bunch) of little schools like Troy, UAB, Coastal Carolina, Liberty, and Bowling Green. Among top tier schools, we'd be #10-12 and not far off the top five. On the other hand, we are 69th in the country for passing yards allowed per game at 230.1. That puts our yards per game ranking at #27 with a 328 yard average. So, it seems the basic stats align with the anecdotal evidence and our eye tests: we need to improve in the secondary. Now, I'm fully willing to accept the argument that PK designs the defense with the primary goal of stopping the run, forcing short passes, and making the other team execute to perfection to sustain drives. However, that strategy is not fully supported by the play in our secondary. Still, there has been dramatic improvement from what was inherited and I think PK is a damn good coach. Whenever Gideon or Joseph leave, I expect PK to be the deciding voice for the new hire.
  3. Brooks is sitting at 923 yards for the season with 212 receiving yards. His rushing average is 6.4 yards and his receiving average is 9.6 yards. He has 8 TDs and two runs of over 60 yards. In the Kansas game, he averaged 10.4 yards per carry. Alabama, where he averaged 4.1 yards per carry, was his "worst" game. He has zero fumbles for the season.
  4. Is Bear Alexander doing anything at USC?
  5. Dark days ahead for Texas recruiting now that aggy got their signature win.
  6. That's no excuse for hitting send as soon as the fingers stop typing. It only takes a couple seconds to read what you just typed and at least correct the stuff that stands out. That's assuming something would stand out to these guys.
  7. Roma Villavicencio from Ch 5 in San Antonio:
  8. The thing you have to love about Maalik is how much touch he puts on his throws. (Given our schedule, I think he'll do fine--but I'll also bet that there's a ricochet that ends up being an interception at some point.)
  9. There's something familiar about this story from Michigan State, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
  10. That Penn State mascot costume looks like it is from the 1950's. Cheap, worn, and mangy.
  11. I feel dirty because I'm happy with this outcome.
  12. Fuck OU, eat dicks Too many curse words for me Ah hell, fuck those fucks
  13. Oman, I Haiti you all and there is Norway this can be allowed to continue.
  14. I didn't know the Aleutians were just off of Galveston. Learn something new everyday.
  15. Hey, we have a sliver of Michigan. For square miles, it's Washington by a lot, but that's only if you count Alaska. Oregon State has three small holdings in the East and three small holdings in the west, but none in Oregon. Utah is 4-1 and has no territory.
  16. Well, somebody has to do it somewhere, so here are some meth whores.
  17. If he maintains his most recent three-game average for the rest of the season, he'd be around 1,750. Regardless, it does seem as if Sark will have a 1,000-yard rusher this year.
  18. In spite of their all 5* D-line, we're actually better against the run than aggy Well, we also have linebackers.
  19. I'll take "What is player development?" for $300.
  20. Something like this will likely be needed to both keep the mouthbreathers at bay when we start playing SEC games and take some money from the most rabid ones before they get group-nuked.
  21. Hey, I resent that. I'll have you know I'm old too--but I can spell impaired.
