  1. "The pride and winning tradition..." Pretty much the same thing with the sooners. Just some good natured shit talking and then chatting politely about our respective trips like normal people. Although opposing fans who are at destination wedding are more likely to be a normal class of person and not mouthbreathing goons, so our experiences may not be representative. I'll also say that, according to all of my friends who went to Columbus, the buckeye fans were fine. Certainly better than fans in Lubbock or Fayetteville.
  2. Man, you have some awful takes in this thread. I was in a small town in Mexico for the game and my buddy and I ended up watching it in a bar with a bunch of sooners who were there for a wedding. We saw them at the hotel and all over town for the rest of the trip and you know for damn sure I wore my Texas bar cap the whole time. The shit talking is invigorating for the soul.
  3. If nothing else, this shows why coaches will go with experience over talent when push comes to shove.
  4. Honestly, this board hasn't seemed that much worse than usual. People are saying dumb shit, but it's a day ending in Y so that makes sense. My biggest reason for not participating more since the game is catching up on work I missed over the holiday weekend and my kids school / sports starting up again. Otherwise, the Horns lost a big game against a quality opponent. Sucks, but it's better than losing to Maryland. We can talk about why they lost, but the reasons are pretty obvious. I don't get off on yelling at stupid people (well, sometimes) and I don't think I have anything new to offer that hasn't been discussed to death on here. But I'm still coming to the site for the jokes, the rare nugget of insight, and the fun of sharing the experience with other Texas fans. At least it's nice to talk ball with people who care about Texas as much as I do, which is hard to find in real life. Even if all that "caring" is sometimes expressed in unhealthy or unproductive ways.
  5. Teamwork makes the dream work
  6. You can't invoke her and not post the gif.
  7. That would have been a tough catch, even without the DB draped all over him. And the DB was draped all over him. Although our DBs had been playing Smith pretty physically all game, so I don't mind the no-call. To me, Livingstone was a pleasant surprise and a genuine asset. Putting the memes and jokes aside, he looked more athletic than I expected.
  8. This is the whole fucking thing here. Everyone is using stats to support the argument for going for the TD or settling for a FG, but the real problem is that Sark's playcalling inside the 10 has been terrible. I swear he was better at playcalling in the RZ when we had worse athletes. It's like he loses all feel for the game and for the defense. He's so worried about doing something stupid (like the final RZ sequence at the end of last season) that he decides to basically do nothing at all. Run inside the tackles three times? With a QB sneak to cap it off? Everyone saw that coming. An idiot phoning in plays from his couch could have called those plays. You cannot play bully ball with a team like OSU. If you are going hard up the middle, do it when they aren't expecting it, or at least do it when they have to worry that you might do something else.
  9. I understand why we didn’t kick the field goals. I do not understand the play calling. If you can’t come up with something the defense isn’t expecting, take the points and trust the defense.
  10. There’s a lot of dumb posts in this thread, but you win the prize today.
  11. I think it ends up looking like our game from 2022.
  12. It’s attention getting but in a non-inflammatory or controversial way. Like, a cow is a pretty banal animal, but it’s weird to see one in LA. Especially next to David Lynch and a giant poster of Laura Dern. The cows raises more questions than it answers.
  13. Actresses genuinely love David Lynch because he genuinely loves his actresses
  14. Agree, unfortunately
  15. If I had a good friend, whose grandson was playing QB for A&M, I would probably text him to let him know that I was rooting for his grandson’s team. Because, you know, normal human things. That being said, it is somewhat disconcerting to learn that Archie is friends with Barry Switzer.
  16. Unfortunately no. He's got to travel by trailer and they don't like him to be in the trailer for more than 7 or 8 hours a day. That means the trip up to and back from Columbus would take like 6 days. Hard to justify taking Bevo's team on the road for that amount of time, especially since many of them are students who's school year is just starting.
  17. Aren't his parents both Aggies? As far as national podcasts, I listen to Cover 3 (mostly for Bud Elliott and Chip Patterson), The Audible (mostly for Bruce Feldman), Split Zone Duo, and the Solid Verbal. All of them are good. None of them are really great.
  18. It's less about skin color and more about aura. Livingstone just puts an extremely white vibe out into the universe. Or my above comment could have been made in jest. One or the other. I'll let you decide.
