  1. Some good snippets from practice. Red tossing Finkley on a run.
  2. I'm pretty new here, but is futureman not an obvious joke? Every post he makes is very clearly intended to draw an eye roll or a chuckle because it's patently bullshit. Like, the humor (if you like that sort of thing) is in how absolutely fucking stupid it is. It's annoying if you don't think it's funny - even then it's just a bad joke, but it is still clearly a joke. I mean, I fully expect him to respond to this post with feigned outrage and hurt feelings, protesting that everything he says is meant in earnest. Because that's what trolls do. Nobody on here actually believes anything he says is meant to be serious, right?
  3. We do, but we're not all holier-than-thou about it like Dabo "God's NIL" Swinney.
  4. Yeah, sounds like A&M sees Bussey playing offense and that's what he really wants. The Gipson change is weird - I thought we led for him, but it sounds like Clemson is in the driver's seat. I can't $ee why thing$ have changed.
  5. I'm not worried about losing Ovie. Not trying to shit on the guy, but he was adequate at best. I'm hoping that mart, situational use of Finkley/Burke/Tapp will produce better results for our pass rush. As others have said, I think the interior line might regress somewhat - the starters will still be good, but there won't be as much talented depth. All that being said, coverage creates sacks. If our CBs are really as good as people are saying, the pass rush issue may solve itself.
  6. Jesus Christ that edit is horrible. Makes him look 90 years old.
  7. To clarify, because someone will get confused - he had Texas ranked 7th this year, but 8th in 2022. Not sure if this is appropriate for the recruiting board, but here's what he said: Things are rarely boring at Texas, especially at the quarterback position, which could go in several directions over the next three years. Quinn Ewers is back for his second season as a Longhorn, but needs to consistently show accuracy and playmaking ability. Ewers, ESPN's No. 2 overall recruit in 2021, spent a season at Ohio State before transferring, and finished the 2022 campaign at Texas with two of his better performances. But the arrival of Arch Manning creates an added layer of pressure on Ewers to keep developing. Ideally, Ewers holds down the QB1 spot through 2023 before giving way to Manning, the latest product from America's most famous quarterbacking family. Manning finished as ESPN's No. 5 overall recruit in the 2023 class, but ranked behind quarterbacks Nelson and UCLA signee Dante Moore. He might end up pushing Ewers in 2023 before likely taking over the starting job by 2024. Not surprisingly, Texas lost Hudson Card to the transfer portal. Maalik Murphy, a second-year player with a big frame (6-foot-5, 225 pounds), could share the backup role this coming season with Manning. Murphy was ESPN's No. 250 recruit in the 2022 class.
  8. The horns down and the continued butt hurt about the 2009 Big 12 CCG are delicious. We are the Cemetery Ridge to the Pickett's Charge of Nebraska football.
  9. Sark on Bussin' With the Boys: Don't love the channel, but Sark did a good job. Talks a bit about the Manning recruitment and how he ended up at Texas.
  10. All I’ve seen is LSU fans wishcasting on twitter and reddit, no actual smoke
  11. We can post random gifs of passes all day. I'll find one where Ewers looks great: I don't disagree that Ewers needs to improve, but posting a single play from his first game means nothing.
  12. Ditto. I remember thinking it was the end of his career and being shocked when I found out he was in the draft.
  13. Yeah fuck this noise. Losing that game was inexcusable and it's one of several things that makes me doubt the future with Sark, but you can't ignore how much fucking quit that 2021 team had in its heart. Seriously, look at NU with Casey Thompson - see anything familiar? Where is Josh Moore playing now? Did BJ Foster tear it up or SHSU last season? No, he fucking sucked again. They all sucked again. Half the roster was guys who were weaker than wet dog shit and the Kansas game was the absolute low point. I'd normally heap more blame on the coaches but my impression is that their real mistake was assuming that nobody would let themselves get embarrassed as badly as that team let itself be embarrassed. They got blinded by the talent and couldn't see how little those guys cared. And to the coaches' credit they cut all their asses and replaced them with better players. The team in 2022 wasn't the team in 2021, and the next year certainly won't be either. Look at how badly Texas dad-dicked a much better KU team, at their house, in 2022. I don't know how much improvement the team will actually see but the trajectory is clearly pointing up. Why the fuck are people still wallowing in 2021 when there's absolutely no indication that the team will be anything close to that bad again? Why keep kicking yourself in the dick? If you don't like Sark or don't think he's the guy, then I don't necessarily disagree. But move on.
  14. https://247sports.com/player/deangelo-carter-46048082/ Is there any smoke on this guy? Minnesota fans seem unhappy he's leaving.
  15. Seriously fuck that town and every professional sports organization in it. I had suite tickets through work to the Astros-Phillies game last October. Only game I was able to go to last year, just fell in my lap. My co-worker invited one of his buddies who happened to be from Philly and the guy was the most obnoxious piece of shit in the park. It was bad enough that the Astros lost 0-3 but the guy was in my fucking ear the whole time. If they never win anything again it will be too soon.
