  1. Sounds like you're carrying water for your buddy and business partner Bobby Burton. "Incredible interview?" LOL Mack didn't say anything he hasn't said a 1000 times before OR you could predict with 100% accuracy: Sark is great His team plays great defense CDC is great Texas has great NIL Texas is such a hard place to coach at that those mean fans got mad at us when we "only" won 10 games! har har har! That's some hard hitting analysis right there. To be fair, he did break news about his and Sally's retirement plan to move to Austin. So there's that. If anything he showed his true anti-Texas colors by arguing passionately for "parity" in college football and that the "big brands" (Texas???) boosters don't want that and complain to their politicians to freeze the status quo. You're damn right we want to freeze things here Mack! First there's never been parity in college football, ever. Second, the current playing field allows Texas to legally pay players in a way we didn't when it wasn't legal. Mack's an old head who wants to turn back the clock. Maybe he gets Burton some extra views, which is great. But the sycophantic fawning interview questions that only focus on the positive and glaze over all the (many, so many) negatives Mack had on Texas resulting in our last decade plus in the wilderness, I can do without those.
  2. This thread has far too much bitching about the location of a game we haven't even made yet.
  3. eh I guess? It's cutting off your nose to spite your face. Just ignore horns down, and smile and toss 'em up while we kick in their teeth. It only has the power you give it.
  4. Were they wearing peach colored blazers? The bowl parasites trying everything to stay relevant.
  5. One of my favorites and a regular in my rotation. Their rye is also good.
  6. That's fine and they'll become irrelevant as a result. But the CFP should still hold the championship game at that stadium every year.
  7. This quote: “We all like the tradition of the bowls, but moreso, the bowl committees know how to put on games and hospitality and game operations,” Hancock said. “They know how to do that better than anybody.” REALLY??!!! The bowls know better how to put on a game than the athletic departments who do it 8 times a year every year? We knew the bowl parasites were going to try every trick in the book to get their hooks into the CFP to try to maintain a semblance of relevance, but zero reason the first 2 rounds should not be on campus. Better environment, less travel, rewards the higher seeds, rewards the fans and season ticket holders. Between semis and the national championship they can establish a rotation of Rose, Sugar, Fiesta, Cotton, and Peach maybe. Or just use the first three, who cares. The only butthurt people would be the barnacles on the side of the college football boat that are the bowl committees. NO ONE is saying "wow I can't wait for a trip to Arlington and the pageantry of Jerryworld!"
  8. The 4 to 12 thing Mack is talking about is a smoke screen. He's talking about revenue sharing. Everyone competing for an ACC title will rev share at comparable levels, so it will just raise the floor. NIL will still be required to set the ceiling.
  9. It's hilarious. NC hired someone who outshines Mack, who doesn't have to pretend to like Mack when he retires and tries to hang around the program, who has enough money himself and gravitas with boosters that Mack can't effectively undermine him from afar. He has got to be seething. All that said, it still probably won't work...unless....unless they find some big spenders to coin up their NIL? I could see them winning the ACC at some point.
  10. ...followed by 5-paragraph rant. Projection much? First, I don't give a shit about MM once he left Texas. He had big limitations and was never going to be more than a backup here. If Duke did give him a time-bound take-it-or-leave-it, all the more reason to take it. As others pointed out, he's not going to increase his value any more, and possible destinations and NIL potential would be gone by the time Texas was done. I don't, as you do, begrudge a player for doing what is best for them.
  11. Well that's certainly a take. Another is the CFP schedule vs. the portal schedule pushed a backup who wanted playing time to the portal in the only viable window (Spring window sucks for QB and we all know it). A player who by accounts did right by Texas, was loved by teammates and coaches, and really didn't want to go but had to if he wanted to progress in his career. Your framing is, as usual, over-simplified, one-sided and lacking appropriate context. I get that your schtick is to be the hyper-reductive asshole, so carry on.
  12. Can we stop with the "Sark should hire a real OC and focus on being a CEO head football coach!" First, it's not realistic and not going to happen outside of fantasy land. If Sark wanted to go that route, he would have a long time ago. Second, Sark sees play calling as his greatest strength, and he's probably right. In his view, if you take him off the headset you are depriving the team of his single biggest asset. Sark has shown that he's probably a top 3 offensive mind in CFB, so those clamoring for an OC would have to bet that the falloff from the OC we in-theory would get would be made up fro by the intangibles that Sark could bring by zooming out - and that is FAR from a given. It's just as likely that we'd end up with a disgruntled OC who is pissed that the HC is meddling or dipping in at the wrong time, or that Sark cycles through OCs searching for someone to run his system as well as he can, etc. Third, even if Sark gave up play calling to "zoom out," and goes to hire an OC...the OCs who are going to take that job aren't the OCs you want. Any real hot shit OC is going to want to be somewhere where they can implement their own ideas and clearly own the offense, either at a top tier G7 or low/mid Power2 school, probably working under a defensive minded head coach who won't meddle as much. Last don't anyone dare think of using the term "money whip" with regard to getting a top flight OC. Texas doesn't do that. And even if we did it rarely works.
  13. A-fuckin-men...I'd pay extra for a TV with a McAfee auto-mute function whenever his whiny voice comes on
  14. I listened to that last night in the car and was laughing my ass off. Christo was talking about his "top 25" defense...ok bud. Miami is trash. Bruce and Stew HAAAAAATE Texas. Not sure if it's their PAC12/B1G bias or just Texas hate in general but they were going out of their way to shit all over Texas specifically. #StayMad
  15. I dunno, I kinda like nutting...
  16. My daughter (16, HS sophomore) is telling me that she's heard that CAP will be discontinued by the time she graduates. I haven't found anything on Google, anyone heard anything on this? She's straight A student, in honors and a few AP classes, in band and extracurriculars but I don't think top 5% in our school in Leander ISD, which would require well >110-115 GPA.
  17. ...only he DID tuck the ball, he had it high and tight. The aggy defender made a great play punching the ball out from the top, which hardly ever happens, I can think of maybe once or twice I've seen a punch out from the top, it's almost always from underneath or a helmet on the ball. The only thing he could have done better there was putting 2 hands over the ball, which is a lot to ask as you're entering a slide. That was just a great defensive play. Now should he have been running to begin with, different question...granted he did scramble for 20 yards on a gimp ankle earlier, so...
  18. You’re willing to risk a new shirt for the aggy game? Everyone knows you don’t do that.
  19. Well...yeah. My wife (no pics) has worked as a psychologist in the school districts, and often encounters special education students with disabilities and special needs. However, if a student has a IDEA qualifying disability, one of the questions that the SPED team is required to ask is: "is this disability affecting the student's learning?" If the answer is "no," they don't design specially created instruction, because they aren't needed if the student is performing as expected. It's only when the disability affects the learning that they start designing special accommodations; but it doesn't' mean that the non-accommodated student is any less disabled. (Note: Section 504 accommodations are different and don't have to impact learning to receive accommodations.) In much the same way, if an addict is "high functioning" it doesn't make them any less of an addict. It just means they can do what society expects of them (typically, right up until they can't anymore).
  20. Me too, maybe I'm just juiced up on coffee today but I read that article and wanted to go find a helmet and some pads and go tackle the first aggy I see
  21. No kidding, i was thinking the exact same thing..."don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya" as grandma would say
  22. New Surly site motto loading!!!!
