  1. On football message boards they're a bunch of weirdos because they wear denim overalls and their teams suck. In the real world most of them are every bit as normal/abnormal as our alumni and many aren't married to their school's culture the way I know many longhorns who don't plaster their car and houses in burnt orange. I just chuckle at all the college ranking stuff because no matter what, it's usually always nonsense. Most of us have an opinion because of hearsay about their reputation, and that very unscientific thing tends to be self-reinforcing. Do you really know whether Wisconsin-Madison is better than Minnesota-Twin Cities? Even if you somehow completed 2 programs at those schools at the same time, you wouldnt be able to make a declaration about the schools as a whole. So instead you use some objective metrics like avg SAT scores or debt load or whatever. The results obviously skew towards how you construct the metrics. There's no single answer with that approach. In the end, I'm confident Stanford is a better institution than UT, which is better than Sam Houston State. As to whether UT is better than TAMU and by exactly how many places... meh, wgaf
  2. In the state of TX vets have higher mean earning than software devs and most engineering disciplines (including EE and ME). People poopoo TAMU cuz its a team sport but lets be real, UT isnt exactly an exclusive feeder school for the Jet Propulsion Lab, Renaissance Tech, or Wachtell. Youre gonna get placed at Dell, ATT, CVX, Technip, next to an Aggie, which is not a bad outcome for the economy.
  3. not wat yer mum said
  4. Coach should ask the team to randomly blindside-tackle quinn throughout the week to beat the fear out of him.
  5. Things measure what they measure and by all accounts aggies are very satisfied with their student life, and their earnings are good. At the very sharp end of the stick UT has an advantage but in aggregate the recruiting and job placement for TAMU grads isnt materially lower. If people want to use rankings that consider admission rate, or # of nobel laureates, or academic publication output, those exist too (with their flaws). Much ado nothing. 🤷‍♂️.
  6. LISA NEEDS BRACES
  7. ok I just landed in Chisinau. where are these wimminz?

    3D Printing

    thats dope shit. where are you getting the models from? ive got orange filament right now, and been printing a ton of halloween related decorations and accessories
  9. Apparently in the pros runners are better, receivers are better, corners are better, o linemen are better, but somehow not the d line so qbs are always afforded perfect protection.
  10. behind him in the same recruiting class is a guy starting for the Bears, the Patriots, and 2 guys ahead of him on the Heisman watch (Milroe, Dart). none of them were rated as highly as him, but the closest guy in the following year leads a 6-1 Clemson team tossing 20-3 TD ratio.
  11. wife and i independently heard that this thing is a literal lifesaver so we bought some for the house
  12. Crazy how people expect a 3rd year starter at a top 5 team to play when conditions arent perfect. Kyle Porter is a great running back when he has a hole to run through, the run route develops as designed, and defenders are too slow to catch him.
  13. It's not a lie. It's an absurdity that a multi-year starter can only perform well when conditions are perfect for him. That's the expectation of a 2 star recruit playing for Boston College. The expectation of a blue chipper earning $1M+ in NIL on a ranked team is to outperform in adverse condition. To play well WHEN his protection breaks down.
  14. 0.9999 recruit playing for QB whisperer on a playoff team, everybody:
  15. Thats a nice little reading nook tho or a doggie cave or toddler playplace
  16. How many pesos they got paid for this was not enough
  17. I remember as a kid watching movies when they have emergency plane landings and when the plane overshoots the runway theres some netting as a last-resort barrier, and i always wondered if those truly worked in stopping a jumbo jet anyway
  18. its always the driver you most expect.
  19. ESPN had a great passing map from the OU game. Cant find the article again. Basically all the completions were spread across the width of the field at the depth of the line of scrimmage. Then 2 or 3 completions beyond — the rest were all incompleted or intercepted.
  20. “There are over 400 NCAA Division I quarterbacks. And almost all of us will be going pro in something other than sports”.
