  1. All this comment says to me is that "red zone scoring percentage" expressed as a ranking is not a useful metric for evaluating an offense. Would you rather have Texas' offense from 2021 / 2022, or Texas' offense from 2023 / 2024? I know which one I prefer. If the data tells you something useful then it's great. If it tells you something you know to be bullshit, then it's just more noise.
  2. I'll defer to @Helobious who probably knows better than I do, but I think he's having surgery to fix a problem that's been there for a while. He played baseball in high school and his throwing motion in football was affected. He never really got the motion down and it has created significant wear on his shoulder. He didn't want to miss the time it would take to fix it, so he never had the surgery. He finally had the operation this off season. That's a long way of saying, I think the surgery was intended to improve his arm.
  3. You'd think there would be enough sluts (respectfully) in any decent college town that you wouldn't have to pay them.
  4. I generally agree with you but will miss Bolden's haywire dangerman antics on PR. I'm loving the idea of him being a halfmad adrenaline junky who refuses to fair catch because it's for pussies and he needs another fuckin hit goddamnit! Even if the coaches don't like it and part of me wishes he would take it just a little easier, I have to tip my hat to anyone who lives life at full tilt.
  5. My tongue is firmly in my cheek.
  6. Baker has been such a pleasant surprise. I wasn't exactly down on the hire, but I didn't understand it. Why were we taking a chance on a relative unknown? We're Texas, we can get someone with skins on the wall. Especially for a position that Sarkisian didn't really value - after all, Bo Davis is an amazing recruiter and hasn't done shit so clearly Sark wasn't giving Bo the support he needed. I was clearly wrong on both counts. I'd say the summer of 2024 did as much to build my trust in Sark as anything he's done during the season. Dude understands people.
  7. Well now I really want him on staff
  8. If Napier gets fired, I hope the staff tries to pick him up in some capacity. I've always thought he was a good coach, even if he's in a bit over his head at Florida.
  9. My first Jarmusch movie and I’ve loved him ever since. His movies aren’t always great but I always enjoy them. I was sophomore at Austin High but a lot my friends had graduated and were freshmen at Texas. We all went to see it at the Dobie one night and as the “little kid” in the group, they all convinced me it was real. In my head I knew they were full of shit, but when the movie started I got completely immersed. I was just old enough to enjoy it but young enough to still be sucked in. CTJ is right though, people who didn’t see it in the theater won’t understand the effect it had on people. In fact, with the ubiquity of found footage and prevalence of spoilers on the internet, I don’t think any movie will be able to catch people the way the BWP did ever again.
  10. A man of culture, I see. Has she seen Color Out of Space with Nick Cage? The hell scene from All Dogs go to Heaven was worse, imho
  11. Hate to say it, but the MPAA may have been right when it initially rated Poltergeist R. Not sure how Spielberg got it dropped to PG.
  12. Bobby dropping hints about NIL:
  13. Fuck whatever these things are from Labyrinth
  14. Listen you fucking pedants and movie snobs, I said "farther" because I referred to taking steps. These steps were metaphorical, rather than physical, so further could have also been correct, but both are acceptable uses. That "rule" didn't even become a rule until the 1980's and before that the terms were used almost interchangeably. The purpose of that scene in Finding Forrester is to illustrate that the teacher is a pedant who had clearly misunderestimated the titular character, and I don't think Van Sant was being overly prescriptive about how those terms should be used. It's like merlot sales plummeting because of a throwaway line in Sideways. Giamatti's character didn't want to drink merlot because his ex wife drank merlot, not because merlot is low brow or something. But everyone who likes wine saw that movie and took it as a signal that merlot was for pleebs and stopped drinking it. Great, more for me. I bet you assholes correct people when they say "octopuses" too.
  15. Take it one step farther and you may see recruits encouraged to commit to lower tier schools to finish “baking” and then transfer to the big school later. Nothing stopping an OSU collective paying for the NIL rights for a kid who goes to Toledo for a couple of years. Feeder programs, basically
  16. I believe the above poster is making a joke about how that AI slop article referred to Flood as our WR coach
  17. Gotta love that the actual Heisman winner didnt even make the list
