  1. Has there been an easier non-conference slate in the history of the world than Nebraska's? Houston Christian?! Areyoufuckingkiddingme?
  2. So why doesn't that apply to shitstains like Trump?
  3. Quoted for truth
  4. You think Grambling is on the same level as SJSU?
  5. Lots of issues to address & improve on. Did see some areas of improvement. Glad a lot of backups got snaps. Get better & show improvement vs. UTEP.
  6. But I do know fuck about shit, so i got that going for me. Which is nice.
  7. Whew . . .
  8. I don't disagree. My point is that it's a little early to be freaking out to the extent some on this board are.
  9. Oh shit
  10. I stand corrected. WTF was I thinking?
  11. Are you also smart enough to realize that THIS IS THE SECOND GAME OF THE SEASON and that this Texas team won't necessarily be the same team when it plays those other games? Too early to freak out, IMO. Work on correcting mistakes (and they are definitely present), soak up game experience, and get better day by day. But if you want to continue wetting your pants, OK I guess.
  12. Lotta pants-pissing going on in this thread.
  13. Here's another video for Gil.
  14. I remember watching this match back in '88 and being outraged at the result. It was a travesty. Jones completely dominated the fight and then was robbed of the gold by three corrupt/incompetent judges. It's good that he now has the medal. I was unaware that "winning" the bout brought such misfortune to the South Korean boxer. Now that he's done the right thing (and I wonder why he didn't do it years ago), maybe he can get out from under all that. https://sports.yahoo.com/boxing/article/roy-jones-jr-brought-to-tears-after-park-si-hun-gifts-gold-medal-decades-after-1988-olympic-controversy-201110152.html
  15. Very good in Wind River as well. RIP
  16. It's frustrating seeing fans reach conclusions about a particular part of the Texas team after only one game. You should also take into consideration that the QB who was throwing the ball to them in that one game had significant accuracy issues -- 37% of his passes were incomplete according to ESPN, the highest percentage of inaccurate passes in a game by a Texas QB in the last decade. Arch will get better. The WRs will get better. Try to avoid ledges above steep drops for the next week or so.
  17. Hopefully Arch learns from this, settles down, and takes a big step forward in future games. The whole preseason Heisman favorite thing was ridiculous -- nobody with such a limited body of work should have been considered the Heisman favorite and it placed even more pressure on him (after already having a ton of pressure with his name, being the star recruit, taking over from Ewers, etc.) He was pretty bad in the first half, but did improve in the second half (though he still had multiple shitty throws, including the pick and that last attempt to Wingo), which is mildly encouraging. At least in the second half he started making some big-time throws mixed in with the lousy ones. He'll get better. Sark deserves criticism as well. Terrible playcalling in goal line. Way too vanilla in the first half.
  18. Fucccckkkkk. One of the most disappointing aspects of this game was Manning's horrid accuracy on some pretty easy throws where he had receivers open. There must have been at least a half dozen of those types of throws where he either threw way too low or airmailed it. His accuracy was supposedly one of his better attributes from what we saw last season, but he failed in that category today.
  19. DB was holding early in that route. No call of course.
  20. That's just a horrible pass on 3rd down. Horrible. Receiver is crossing about 7 yards away and you whip it at his calves. My God.
  21. Where were these playcalls earlier?
