  1. Yes, a couple of posters say stuff like that. And a dozen more do not. Acting as if a couple of people represent the masses is a silly strawman and I'm not sure why you're bothering to spend the time to set it up. Far more people shit on APD on this thread and all the others, than defend it. One difference though, is that Austin voters aren't voting for the police chief, but they are voting for the DA.
  2. I've read this thread many times. There's plenty of "yeah but" type of defense of Garza, and APD is constantly getting shit on by you and a dozen others. And deservedly so, APD sucks. Acting like a couple of posters are speaking for the masses in defending APD is silly. It's not anywhere close to a majority, it's a tiny minority. Read the thread.
  3. They both suck. Downplaying Garza's shittiness just because the APD sucks is no less insane.
  4. Were they real injuries or were they bullshit fake injuries like LSU and Ole Miss are famous for? If it's the latter, then we too booed LSU for faking injuries all game long, and I don't feel bad about it at all.
  5. PSU pretty much always "literally beats themselves" so I have no idea why you'd think this year would be any different. I'd love our chances against both them and Notre Dame.
  6. I'll put it another way. If Michigan and Alabama choked away games in weeks 1 or 2, then why should victories over those teams promote anyone? You're still making assumptions, they're just your own assumptions, so you like them better. Like @BurntEyes said if polls came out much later, like in week6 or something, then we could avoid some of this. But helmet teams are still going to tend to be overranked, and there's still going to be disagreement in the rankings, because humans are fallible and emotional and subjective.
  7. For sure, but that's not what the polls are really for. At least, not anymore. Currently they exist to promote exactly the kind of discussion that's occurring on this thread. Team A doesn't deserve it, Team B so much better, just look at the records! In weeks 4 and 5 when Team B loses to Teams C and D, that chatter will go away. Very low signal to noise ratio early in the season.
  8. Of course they have. But not by 20 degrees or something. Central Texas has always been hot as fuck and dry as fuck. Acting like that's something new is silly. For anyone who seriously wants consistent highs in the 60s in September, I'll just say that Texas is not the place for you, and it never has been.
  9. In general I agree that polls are silly and biased and the voters are often lazy, and preseason/early season polls are the worst. But if we're going to say that the team that just beat Michigan has proven more and is better than Texas, then what is Ohio State's claim to #1? If Texas isn't all that, then Ohio State isn't, either. I understand you're not singling out Texas here and that's not the way I'm taking it, I'm just responding to the general gist of your post with the specific example of Texas. At some point we have to make assumptions about the quality of a team and during the preseason/early season, the majority of that necessarily comes from the performance the prior season, and the expectation of the current talent and coaching. Texas was demonstrably superior to OU last year. Texas was expected to be superior to OU this year. So far, a close road loss to the defending national champs and current #1 team, is the only reason to say that OU should be ranked ahead of Texas. But we saw these teams play last year, and it wasn't close.
  10. Answer coming... ...and the answer is, tourists.
  11. Eh, T12-T15 are the best parts.
  12. Texas defense is gonna fuck him up. He'll quit the game.
  13. You hate to see it .jpg
  14. I always take my G6 so I hadn't noticed. Perhaps someday I'll hire out a personal train to experience the trip. Just kidding. I stick my servants in the G6. I fly in the Bombardier Global 7500.
  15. It was Golden Fried Chicken even before that.
  16. For my kids in high school, it's almost always the first weekend of November when the flu/covid/whatever other respiratory virus is going around, hits. Like clockwork the past 4 years.
  17. Arch is gonna put 300 yards and 5 TDs on their asses and they're still going to say he sucks, just as they did with Chris Simms after he ran them multiple times.
  18. Yup, it felt almost brisk during my run. Not actually, but almost.

    I miss Shakey's Pizza Parlor on Airport.
  20. Yeah 2:30 is actually the worst for an August/September game, regardless of opponent. 11 AM slightly better. 7 PM (or later) is preferred.
  21. There are some on the press conference thread as usual. But, fair warning, they're not great, Bob.
  22. I think you're right. I know I'm definitely deflated, even now, 4 days post-loss. And it's going to be hard to reengage over the next several weeks of cupcakes plus the bye. It's pretty tough to get my mind and my heart past the 0-4 record against Ohio State and Georgia. It's just frustrating and demoralizing as fan. I realize it's silly but I feel like I'd probably be more excited if the final score had been something like 28-21 and with an offense that didn't just sputter so badly. Obviously that wouldn't be a positive for our defense, but there was just so much hopefulness from Texas fans surrounding Arch and the offense. And now, given the questionable playcalling and Arch's struggles and the ongoing redzone issues, it's just tough to feel much enthusiasm about the direction of the program. I'm sure I'll snap out of it, but staring down 3 cupcakes and a bye isn't going to move me past the malaise very quickly.
