    and the NCAA will recognize the Trojan title in 2004

    Uh, why? The NCAA has quite literally never recognized any title prior to the playoff era. The NCAA never awarded nor recognized the title, the BCS did, which the NCAA had absolutely fuck-all to do with. Prior to the playoff era, post season games were exhibition in nature. The NCAA only recognizes conference championships, not BCS national championships. This is the whole "M" in the "MNC" thing.

    Meanwhile, I'm going to finally beat NES Top Gun.

    the trick is to ignore the "up up down down" shit on the landing screen. All you have to do to land in top gun is line up your alt and speed gauge on the left with the target alt and speed written on the screen. The "instructions" telling you how to land are random and don't correspond to anything. Once you realize that, the game is a complete breeze.

  3. I can't remember a time when the media fawned all over a Texas QB like Arch. Obviously VY and Colt were amazing QBs worthy of praise, but national media has never been one to drool over Texas. When VY was here, it was all about Matt Leinart and Jason White and so forth. Shit, Colt beat Sam Bradford head to head several times and yet the media dick rode him and tebow and so forth over Colt. Whenever in the past media outlets have talked about Texas QBs, it's always been begrudging praise over the unavoidable level of play they exude.

    But with Arch, you have everyone from NCAA to NFL drooling all over him. To say nothing about his actual tenure at Texas, it's safe to say Arch is likely the most hyped Longhorn of all time.

    he’s not as tall as vince and you don’t really need to be comparing him to vince in any way, frankly.  eat a dick, dipshit. 

    Vince young was 6 foot 5, Arch is 6 foot 4, you terminally online loser. You do know what "basically" means, right? Like when I say you're basically a eunich, I do not mean you quite literally have no dick, but rather that your tiny dick is similar to that of a dickless person.

    Hope this helps. Go blog about it for hours or whatever the fuck you do to rack up those tens of thousands of virgin points you got.

    Is that an artist’s rendering of what they wish was the attendance?

    looks more like a fucked up AI generated image that comes from a GPT with shitty training data when you ask it to render a football stadium for you, but that's just the actual IRL architecture of pyle field.

  6. This image from today's scrimmage made me realize how much Arch's body has filed out. Of course that pic of him and ewers and maalik flexing went viral last year, but this is the first time I'm noticing how tall Arch is. He's basically Vince Young's height, and VY's height let him gallop through tackles.

    And it didn't disappoint 

    Easily the most entertaining spring game I've ever seen. I've never seen a spring game come down to the final snap like that before.

    I hate to break this you, but it’s going to be pretty hard for us to win the Big 12 this year.  

    Those aren't Big 12 championships, they're conference championships, unless you think we won the Big 12 in 1942, 1943, 1945, 1950, etc.

    You missed the joys of “duck and cover” in elementary school as well as everybody watching and talking about The Day After (which is on YouTube I believe). 

    We have friends whose families emigrated from the Soviet Union at the end when they were allowed to, and they’ve talked about Chernobyl being extremely accurate about how things were and how they worked.

    I actually saw The Day After when the Berlin Wall fell. It's fall made my parents go back and watch a lot of cold war movies, and they were never shy about showing me stuff that was intense (I saw Robocop in theaters when I was like 4 lol). That movie is probably what made the soviets stay in my mind as this awesome (in a literal sense), terrifying force. They always fascinated me, in the same way a caged shark does.

    Speaking of aggy … wonder what propaganda they’ll spew about Arch’s performance today?

    aggy are the most projecting losers on the planet, so they'll probably just say that he'll transfer to oklahoma or something like their highly rated qbs do. Whenever they look for faults in UT, all they see is their own.

    I have pretty high hopes for Star City. Sounds absolutely fascinating 

    I gotta admit, soviet deep dives grip me. Chernobyl was goddamn awesome. Along similar lines, the movie "The Death of Stalin," which is a comedy, is also awesome, for the same reason I liked Chernobyl and the soviet parts of For All Mankind. I love seeing what life was like for average people behind the iron curtain. I was too little to really remember the soviet era, I was in kindergarten when the Berlin wall fell. So it's like this period of history that aesthetically looks familiar to me, but is still alien. Like an alternate timeline society or something.

  12. I hope Star City puts on display just how fucking abysmal life in the soviet union, how unqualified most of their leaders were. I think they'll dig into that, because they got into a little bit in Season 4 with Margo's Handler, how she really was not the technical peer of those at NASA or Helios and how that made dealing with the USSR so much more difficult. I'm hoping for something like Chernobyl, a deep dive into the nepotism that drove the soviet union and how it made for a miserable, terrible life for the actual citizens.

  13. I don't want to suck off Arch too much here, and I feel the need to clarify that I deffo want Quinn to start and appreciate whole-heartedly how Ewers has lead Texas back to national relevance and understand how much of that is specifically on Quinn Ewers himself proving to be a legitimate all-time Texas QB. But if I'm feeling honest here, I feel like the tipping point for Texas football was when Arch committed. It's not that Arch himself turned Texas around, but rather his commitment was a "Grow the beard" moment for the football program. That is the singular point when news about Texas football flipped from the default news being disappointment, to being on the upswing. It felt like the moment UT Football got it's mojo back, like Arch committing coincided with the malaise being slapped out of the program. It honestly felt quite a bit like Ricky Williams winning the heisman, in how Texas was able to spring board off the good vibes energy emanating off of Arch's commitment and turn it into something worth getting excited about. I feel happy for the current students in Austin, because UT Football being great was an enormous part of my college experience and made my run at UT feel completely magical, like some of the best memories of my life. I'm happy a generation of new longhorns will get to experience the fun that comes when Texas is a force in college football.

    It's crazy.  I was pumped when we got Johntay last year, and he's been looking good, but he's only like the 4th or 5th best receiver on the team.

    I remember during the late mack brown and charlie strong years, watching our offense be so insanely completely dogshit for an entire game. We'd have whole games where we'd maybe sustain one drive, with the rest of the game being 3 and outs. It's honestly unbelievable how quickly Sark transformed Texas on offense. We have explosive playmakers all over the offense.

    I've been very comfortable with and a vocal proponent of Ewers being the no-doubt starter this year and Arch taking over after. IMO its the best case scenario for Texas. I like Quinn. I think he will have a great year. 

    But the improvement in Arch from last year's Spring game to this year is eye opening. His controlled urgency in the pocket is a sight for sore eyes. Zip on the ball when needed. Yeah, Arch got a much cleaner pocket today then he'll see in live action, but it was still nice to see him handle it so well. 

    I know this game is "meaningless" but I hope Quinn senses the heat and really focuses on improvement this summer. 

    Whats funny is he didn't really get to show off the other part of his game: the mobility. He honestly is a mobile QB. A ton of yardage in highschool came from when Arch would improvise on a broken play. Not just running and picking up yards, which he can also do, but also buying time to let players get open after the play is busted. Flag Football rules in the spring game for the QB basically eliminated this part of his game, but it's a big part of his offense. Meaning he has even more to show off once real games begin.

    Ryan Wingo is going to be a stud.  We are so deep at WR.

    Isaiah Bond too. His TD catch was fucking beautiful. A huge portion of the 75 yards was after the catch.
