Gotta love the supposedly "liberal" theist/religious apologists in Surly.
When ya ain't got any empirical argument for your God ... and ya cherry pick from the Bible ... and many of those God believers do VERY bad things to women, LGBTQIA, people of color, and more... all ya got left is to insult the atheists with "bigotry" and "Fuck Off." Nothing ever changes.
No wonder why MAGA is turning this country into a Fascist Theocracy.
Don't worry, one day MAGA will come for the atheists and y'all won't have to yell "Fuck off" at us.
Keep it up. Your God is winning, big time.

A whole bunch of the dipshits that voted Trump this time round just knew that life sucked in the Covid inflation/recession and incorrectly blamed it on Biden And were too stupid to understand that Trump offered no solutions
And just who were these "dipshits"?
-- Atheists? Existentialists?
-- Committed secularists who know Dobbs is a terrifying decision and want to maintain the wall between Church and State?
Nope.
99% of these stupid dipshits (your words) were absolutely Christians and they think God and Donnie have their back?
-- And when Donnie does not have their back, the leopards feast. Ha!
-- They may not be even be Evangelical fanatics ... just passive Christian believers ... but they still don't a shit about abortion, women's rights, LGBTQIA, the environment or anything or anyone outside their tiny little narcissist worldview. And I have relatives in Texas who are exactly this, not Evangelical fanatics, but still voted for Donnie because he is God's best choice vs the Commie Kamala.
Typical Christians, Evangelical or otherwise (and any other religious fanatics). That some Christians voted for Kamala does not change anything about these facts.
It's obvious to anyone not an apologist.
Unfortunately, our culture and media are filled with denialists, enablers, sanewashers everywhere.

Gotta love these conservatives and (apparently) liberals saying the election outcome was determined by "anti-incumbency" .... Lulz.
Ya' just can't blame the christians for anything.
This election was won by the decades of unchecked religious fanaticism (especially on abortion/trans/LGBTQIA) and racism -- ie, CHRISTO-FASCISM
-- Partially fueled by fascist billionaires and totally fueled by Fox News, the Evangelical churches, and the unrelenting hate, anti-science idiocy, toxic masculinity, and conspiracy theory on social media.
Enough with the excuses and apologia.
Fanatical religion, racism, idiocy (etc). End of story.

"The construction industry is not afraid of Covid"
Of course, they're not.
These kind of construction dudes are 100% full-on badass Americans, big F150 driving, Oakley wearing, baseball cap backwards, no mask wearing, hammer pounding, drill gun shooting badasses.
They ain't got no time for Covid. Ain't got time for cancer. Ain't got time for any diseases. These fuckers don't need no vaxxin'
They're the most badass mofos on the planet.
Same with those badasses in oil and gas.
Not afraid of Covid, cancer, diseases, ... and vote for Christian fascists and Tech Bro Nazis.
100% faux badasses. Millions of them. Complete idiots. Fuck'em.

Where has history seen this before?
Hitler and the Nazis hated modern architecture, shut down the Bauhaus, and mandated a return to classical architecture ... albeit with a German spin via Hitler's architect Albert Speer.
Surly fascist lackeys will follow suit and croon about all the great "classical" capitol buildings in America.
_____________
So I wonder which American architect will be Trump's Speer?
Ya know some MAGA and conservative architects are lining up for the chance to "Make Architecture Great Again."
We are literally in 1930s Germany again.
Modernity and the modern world are literally under siege.

Fixed it: White Christians are fucked in the head.
They've been enabling this shit since Reagan-Falwell in the 1980s.
A white Christian theocracy was always the dream of Falwell, Billy Graham, etc.

Spot on.
I'll go further. Biden's presidency was an abject failure. So were Merrick Garland and Jack Smith.
His main objective should have been to stop Trump. By prosecuting Trump for Jan 6, the Mar-a-Lago security documents, and whatever else. I can't recall all the stuff the Jan 6 committee brought up.
Trump first. Everything else secondary.
Biden got it backwards.
Total system failure.

The Elon Musk Nazi salute says it all. Not one thing will happen to him because of that.
Democracy is finished. America is now a fascist neo-Nazi state and the legacy media are fine with it.
And apparently so are the Corporate America, University Presidents, Art World Execs, Sports Team Owners, and so on.
Not man or woman with balls or courage leading any of these companies or organizations.
At least that I can tell.

Ten or so years ago I read an essay by Paul Krugman who cited two existential threats to the world: income inequity and climate change.
He left out religious fanaticism and fascism. Of course he did!
-- The holy NYT gives religion a 99.9% free pass.
-- The NYT has enabled and sane-washed Tea Party-MAGA-Trump fascism from Day 1. And, believe me, there were plenty of people in my artsy fartsy intellectual circles who clearly saw that this was fascism, powered by billionaires, social media, Fox News, and Evangelicals.
The political grip the New York Times has on the liberal intelligentsia is truly mind-boggling. A sacred text that has doomed our country.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is. A very likable coach with two sides.SIDE 1: Sark revived the UT football program and has racked up some big wins.Won the Big 12 title going out the door. Excellent.Epic beatdowns of OU. Fantastic.49-0 in 202234-3 in 2024Handled Aggy 17-7.— Huge win no matter that it could have been a 31-0 shutoutBeat BAMA at Home in 2023.-- SEC SEC SEC! Lulz.Twice to the final four of playoffsTwo playoff wins this year.-- Almost epic choke v. ASU, which leads to Side 2SIDE 2: Sark coached perhaps the most EPIC losses in all of UT history.2021: Blowing 18 point lead to OU with under 3 minutes left in 3Q.2021: Losing to KU at home: 57-56.2022: Vaunted offense stuffed by TCU on nighttime national TV.— Could not score a TD against Sonny Fucking Dykes.2024: Lost playoff v. Washington— 4 shots to win from inside 15 yard line in final seconds. Not even close.2025: Lost playoff to Ohio State— 1st and goal disaster in the most epic collapse/ending of any big UT game. Ever!The two worst 1st and Goal from the 1 yard line chokes in all UT history (at least since 1960s).— 2023 v. OU— 2025 v. Ohio StateTwo CFP semifinal games .. ready to be won … chances to play winnable title games.Could not score with first downs from the 1 and inside red zone.CONCLUSION:Sark's won some big games. Sark finds ways to blow big games. In EPIC fashion.That’s why the jury is still out on if he will win a title… even with Arch.We simply do not know which Sark shows up in the biggest games.-

Cross post from another thread. I did not see this thread
---------
Though I have been a critic of QE's fanboys and QE's red zone clutch performance ... I'm not gonna trash and attack QE for that fumble.
Of course, it was a huge gaffe (along with Sark's idiotic play-calling with first down at the 1, surely the worst goal line calls in UT history).
I really feel for QE: Seriously. Here's why:
I'm in the arena of public art and intellectual life ... flying solo ... doing stuff with my name on it ... in public ... not a faceless cog in a corporation.
And I have blown a couple of golden opportunities that I regret to this day. Massive failures ... from arrogance and hubris and just fucking up royally great chances. Embarrassing. Took years to get it rolling in my career again.
And took years to get kinda over it. Still not over it, as this post shows.
-- Granted, this is not the stage of college football, but I know how it feels to fail in public.
But, I also worked my ass off and had major successes and won legit international awards (albeit in obscure artsy fartsy worlds)
Total failures and big successes.
I can assure you QE has a sick sick sick sick sick sick feeling. And it will last for years. If not the rest of his days.
I truly feel for QE. He tried his best, but it was not enough. He's a real Longhorn. I wish him nothing but the best going forward.
Hook'em QE.

Man did he squander some elite units though, these were real championship windows.
100% spot on.
Two clear windows to play for titles (in very winnable matchups).
-- Yet, Sark and Quinn could not get it in the end zone from the red zone with 4 plays. Twice: vs Washington and Ohio State.
The ending last night was the worst big game ending in Longhorn history. Nothing even close.
Quinn's fumble far exceeds Craig Curry's fumble v. Georgia in 1983 that cost us a title. (Like Sark, Akers also to blame: should have told everyone to not touch the ball on the punt.)
Two greatest defenses in Longhorn history and no titles. Grrrr....

You're brain is so rotted from statistics you can't even put Street, that game, his performance in context of the programs history.
This is correct. And it is mind-blowing that posters compare passing stats....and cannot appreciate context, significance of games, etc.
-- 1969 Texas-Arky was the USC-Texas game of the 1960s!
-- Texas-Notre Dame Cotton Bowl that followed was almost equally huge as the Irish decided to play in bowl games for the first time in decades. (They had not played in bowls claiming it harmed amateur status, etc. ... till the TV money got too big to turn down.)
-- For the above reasons, both games were in top 2-3 games of the ENTIRE DECADE.
Street completed HUGE 4th down passes in final minutes on both games to give Texas the chance to win, which they did.
The TV audiences for these games were enormous, far bigger than Texas-USC.
Below is a cross-post from the All-Time Texas QB Thread. This applies to any Texas QB in comparison to Street, except VY.
There are three points of comparison at play in Quinn vs. Street.
1. Best stats vs. Greatest. Big difference!
2. Points per game... isn't that a key stat for all you stat fanboys?
3. Revolutionary QB. Who was a truly revolutionary QB and who has best flashy stats?
----------------
1. Best stats vs. Greatest.
-- There is a huge difference between best QB with flashy yardage stats .... and greatest QB with fucking titles and undefeated.
Biggest difference between Street and Ewers?
-- Given 4 shots to win against Washington last year: Street hits a fucking pass to win the game! (Same with VY: we all know he gets UT a score to win game).
-- Or Street runs it in himself like he did with first TD vs. Arky in 1969. One of the most epic QB runs in UT history.
-- Street was not only undefeated, but won two of the very biggest games of an entire decade.
That's the difference -- a playmaker, clutch performer in EPIC games. No losses, no disappearing acts, no sitting on bench looking lost. Cool 60's sideburns, no redneck mullet. Lol.
Just a damn fucking big-game winner. Every time. 20-0. That's an all-time great.
--------------
2. Points per game.
Sure, QE hit the pass to save this season vs. ASU. Epic play, no doubt. All due credit.
-- If QE leads UT to title, he will likely move into #3 spot behind VY and Street. Titles matter for greatness vs. stats. QE vs Colt is another post.
-- But QE's also been completely shut down in other big games (TCU 2022, Georgia 2024) leading to key losses on national TV. QE looked utterly lost. That never happened with Street.
-- And QE's offense is not scoring any more points per game than Casey and Card!
-- If QE is so great, why isn't offense scoring more points than Casey? When Street took over the wishbone, the offense scoring exploded for his two seasons. QE takes over and points/game stays same.
---------------
3. Street was a revolutionary QB.
-- Street led an innovative offense that truly revolutionized college football.
-- Considered by ESPN to be the most important offense of all-time. And Street showed everyone how to do it.
---------------
TLDR: Summary.
Street was 20-0, won MNC, won the most EPIC national games of decade, and was the UT QB who showed everyone how to run a revolutionary college offense. Plus, Street had those cool 60's sideburns!
For all his stats, QE can't sniff that.

Dude, read the post. I didn't say everybody. Or mention you.
But, it sure seems to me that the posts about Trump/MAGA grifts ... far outnumber... the posts about Trump/MAGA as fascist, violent Christian theocrats, war mongers, etc.
Happy to be proven wrong. Maybe someone can run the stats on the number of posts claiming grifts vs. posts claiming fascism and theocracy.

I never thought I would have to give Jerry credit for anything good on a football field....
But...
The way he rolled with the Eagles heckler was pretty damn chill ... like a smooth playa' with billions in his pocket.
You could tell the Eagle heckler was laughing with him at the end.
Hell, it made me laugh with him ... and I can't stand the total narcissist.

"White Trash Tebow" pretty much sums up the entire Scattebo concept and discourse.
With the new 12-team playoffs, there will be many more players like this to come.
-- Punk ass players who are good to very good, not great, playing for newbie playoff teams.
-- Newbie teams (ASU) playing bluebloods (UT) all claiming "We belong!" ... "We played'em tough"... "We got respect!" .... blah blah blah.
Just like March Madness, a newbie playoff team will upset a blueblood and dudes like Scattebo will be all over TV ... until they lose and will be forgotten nationally.
Scattebo won't even be a footnote to the 2024-25 playoff saga.
Just another dude who had his 15 minutes of fame in a losing game.

Who is a "Blueblood" in college football is a time-dependent concept -- dependent on long stretches of title-winning, winning seasons, bowl winning, big-game winning, high ranking in polls, some Heisman winners, etc.
-- In other words, long stretches of generally kicking ass and winning titles, awards, etc.
-- Quit winning titles and kicking ass for a couple of decades, teams lose blueblood status.
-- Thus, Army, Yale, and Minnesota were once "bluebloods." Obviously, no longer.
Of course, teams can win enough to become bluebloods.... but also lose it.
-- Nebraska under Devaney and Osborne became a top-shelf blueblood. But, given the past 20 years, they are fading fast. Another 10 like the past 20 and they will no longer be bluebloods. They already may not be a blueblood.
-- Miami, Florida, FSU all looked like sure-fire new blueboods in the 1980s-1990s, when they kicked ass. But they are fringe bluebloods, at least FSU and Florida might be. Miami, nope.
Texas was good before 1957 ... but not a national "blueblood" until DKR showed up and kicked ass for 20 years
-- winning 3 national titles
-- ruling the SWC
-- winning multiple EPIC FUCKING GAMES ... as in some of the very biggest games of an ENTIRE DECADE!
-- deploying revolutionary offense that changed the game
-- etc.
Despite having some shitty coaches (McWilliams, Strong, and to an extent Herman-Mackovic) since DKR.... Akers, Mack, and now Sark have won enough big games (etc) to keep UT's status as a blueblood intact.
-- For that, we Longhorns should be thankful.
TLDR: Bottom line, bluebloods are not eternal. They rise and fall over time, just like nations and corporations.

1 Street to Peschel to basically win a national title in 69.
2. 4th and 2 yards, Street to Cotton Speyrer inside 5 yard-line vs Notre Dame in 1970 Cotton Bowl. Clock running down, last chance, pass complete. Two plays later, Texas runs it in for winning TD.
3 Quinn 4th and 13 to win a CFP matchup - Being a playoff game gives it the notch over roll left
4. Roll Left to win a big 12 title
5 Colt to Cosby to win the Fiesta Bowl
6 Vince to Sweed at the shoe at night!
Excellent list of top pass plays, but there is one that most all older Longhorns forget (or younger ones don't know about). The Street to Speyrer pass that I inserted in your list. Speyrer makes diving catch as Street threw ball only where it could be caught and not be tipped by Domer DB.
Cotton Bowl win secures the 1969 national title against ALL doubters. Lose this game and Arky win is lessened by a huge factor. Hell, ND would claim a national title, too. Along with Penn State.
To be total legend, ya gotta win titles!

Agree 100%. And I’ll add the venue is/was unlike any other in sports, perhaps the Masters is an apt analogy.
The Rose Bowl is a character in the story. Pasadena , the fact that VY had a record performance one year prior. All that you mentioned is spot on plus add the Rose Bowl, the grand-daddy of them all. If it was the fiesta or cotton , it would not have contributed to the build up like the Rose Bowl, for that given game, given all that USC was about for a decade in that town. Remember LA was floundering sports city while the Trojans were running herd on the cfb landscape.
Spot on. 100%!
No doubt, USC was the rock star team in LA. I have several friends and cousins in the Southern California area: Some are USC fans, some are UCLA fans. I had phone calls with some from both camps before the Texas-USC game. Most agreed that Reggie Bush could have a big game.
But all were all wondering just what the hell VY was going to dial up! ESPN was hyping Trojans as possible best ever college team, but UCLA cousins said there was under-the-radar murmuring in So Cal football world about whether USC could stop ... or even slow down VY-Texas offense.
-- Trojan cousins admitted they were very fearful of VY factor. Like no other player they faced in the 34-game win streak. They saw what he did in the Rose Bowl the year prior. They saw that 45-13 wipeout of OU (who USC wiped out the year before) and the 70-3 demolition of Colorado in Big 12 title game. So did Pete Carroll and the Trojan defense.
Frankly, it seemed like there was some fear (not cowardice) and panic by USC during last two Texas drives. Especially after that 4th down stop by Texas.
Fear and panic like: "Oh Shit!!! ... Here comes fucking Vince Young" !?!?!??!
The rest is history. "4th and 5. National Championship on the line....He's going for the corner ...."

Some of these cherry picking, name calling apologists for religious fanaticism ... need to skim through the Book of Revelation. There is the violent apocalyptic religion that animates Project 2025 and so many MAGA true believers.
