  1. They did, but he was also suffering from turf toe a lot of the year and until Bijan went down, they were able to play him less in hopes it would heal. And also Keilan was held out for Covid and his replacement was knocked out in the Baylor game, right? I kept thinking we would see him attempt at least one pass, at least to keep the threat alive, but that never came to be.
  2. Also could be the direct snap plays were quicker and easier to block. They didn't have to hold their blocks as long and could pull off and get into the push pile? Maybe that's one of the factors as well?
  3. I don't think they know what cult means to the rest of the world. UT and LSU are going to never miss any opportunity to expose aggy hubris. (I don't know how to resize the TikTiok vids, sorry) 30d7c35b5e7bac62663db330c87baa20.mp4
  4. Briles to OU? Seems like a fit to me.
  5. I look forward to LR turning Notre Dame into his new bitch. And SEC will be even more promoted as the upper echelon in college football. So even a good or great run out of the PAC 12 is going to get short shrift behind SEC and secondly B10. The time difference on TV hurts them considerably in exposure. The only thing that will bring down the SEC dynasty will be some huge expose on rampant cheating, and even then I'm not sure it would really do much damage, since most people already suspect it. So while it's a different path to a national championship, it also has several hurdles built in.
  6. Campbell maybe, but I think Gundy is a good argument. OSU has always had to make do with the table scraps OU and other left them, and they have for the most part brought in respectable teams. I wonder how things would look in a universe where Gundy and Riley were to traded places. I think it would be similar. On the other hand, some people are better being underdog coaches, and maybe Gundy is one of those. Not sure we will ever find out, because I get the strong impression he is gonna be OSU's Bill Snyder.
  7. I don't believe Riley is mediocre, but I also don't agree he is great. He owes some of his success to UT being down and floundering for the past decade and a half. That has helped him out-recruit his only real year in/year out competition, which then resulted in better records. If he went to LSU he would be just as good as he is at OU and would probably have an easier time recruiting. Right now OU is a powerhouse under Riley. LSU is down and aggy is down. A move by Jimbo just insures LSU stays down. aggy will hire another mediocre coach, so they will stay down. Under that scenario, OU is the one obstacle for us to reclaim top tier status. But if Riley does move, then LSU is strengthened, and OU would most likely hire a strong replacement, so they would remain in that upper tier. So we would be fighting both LSU and OU, though OU could falter with the wrong hire. What I like least is the idea of Aranda going back to LSU instead of remaining in the soon to be second tier B12. That would pretty much guarantee OU and LSU high level play for years to come. But to me, Aranda seems to be the logical choice for LSU, whether I like it or not. I do wonder what Campbell or Gundy could do with the recruiting goldmine that is LSU though.
  8. I just don't see Riley as a good fit at LSU. He seems too much of a control freak to let the good times roll. I lean towards Aranda as well, which could be a nightmare for us down the road, considering what he's done at Baylor. Pretty easy to imagine the success he could have at a school that self recruits like LSU.
  9. Sad. I would have to go with Sawbonz's intuition. Being a PA, you have to think he was very aware of CTE. Isn't that also what did Dronett in? It's a tragic loss for the world, whatever the story.
  10. Several comments about him putting the team on his back today. He put the UT world on his back and showed everyone that the fighting spirit wasn't gone. For him to show out like that tells me he believes in Sark and the future of this program. I hope that reverberates to the rest of the team and potential recruits. He's always been that selfless player with class that makes for the very best UT athletes.
  11. "...incredibly White" is what he really meant to say.
  12. So did they do something for Lemons besides wear the tee shirts all week? I could have missed it, but after all the hoopla about Mike Wacker, I thought we would see a parade or something,
  13. Domedriver is right when it comes to college sports. My hate goes back to Ara Parseghian and Ross Browner trash talking Earl. While OU was our biggest rival, they never came across as being on a higher level than everyone else. Most entitled mother fuckers ever and not deserving. Right along with their buddy Penn St. Fuck them and touchdown Jesus.
  14. Yeah, pretty much just an elaborate photo op. Got the press he wanted, nothing more to see here. Move along. Seriously, how much time and money and attention is going into these optics. Seems if we took the money we are spending on walls and playing militia and sent humanitarian aid to those countries these people are fleeing from, we'd all be miles ahead. But no. No money in that, not enough resources in those countries we don't already control. I know, it's off topic for Tx Governor, but it's not that far off, since it hits a major philosophy we have when it comes to carrying a big stick instead of helping reduce tensions by making other peoples lives better. 2020 Peace Corp budget was less than 400 million for the whole program. US military spent 725 Billion in the same year. We need more Charlie Wilsons. To bring it full circle, Greg Abbott is using fear and hatred against immigrants instead of 1) pushing for a better immigration system, and 2) pushing to help those people in their own countries. Fuck solutions, just vote for me and you can feel good about defeating a phantom menace.
  15. Then Came You was pretty well done as one of those "person finds meaning in their own life while helping someone die" movies. Good work by the two leads, the lead from Sex Ed, and the little warrior princess from GOT. It didn't bite off too much and came off as pretty realistic. Ever wish you could get a do-over? How your life could be different if you had some nearly infinite mulligans? About Time is a quirky little movie that gets into that. Rachel McAdams does a good job fitting into a basically Brit cast. It's more like a fairy tale come true, but it's a nice escape piece. The Holiday was a Hallmark Movie on steroids, except this one actually implied that some of the characters had sex outside the marriage bed and that is ok. I guess there will always be a place for movies that allow us to escape into a world where we are the select few who have all the looks, the charm and great jobs, charming friends and kids, etc (you know, an average surlyite that only bangs 10s). It was ok, but trite in too many places.
  16. So is Omeire done or is that an assumption? I know he's out this year, but I guess I missed anything on him taking a medical out. Which is too bad, I was really hoping he could show out next year.
  17. Thing is this shit goes on all the time and these fuckers walk. I have a friend who was in FL separated from her cheating POS husband. She would let him come see the two boys, aged 8 and 4 at the time. Each time he got more violent and abusive. Last time he beat he so bad it broke her nose and cracked a rib. She had to go to the ER. The hospital had to make a report, otherwise she wouldn't have, out of fear. He was arrested and eventually charged and convicted. She flees back to Jersey with her boys while he's in the drunk tank. She gets counseling, the boys get counseling for at least a year, since they saw several of these encounters. He goes through a 6 month anger management course and completes a year of sobriety in AA and not only is he done, but his record is expunged. You look the fucker up none of this ever happened. He followed her to Jersey after his 6 months. She can't move to any state without getting his approval, since he was granted 1 hour a week supervised visitation with those kids. It's fucked. It's endemic in all levels of our culture. And women have very few rights, in spite of what all the whining you hear. Find "What the Constitution Means to Me" by Heidi Schrek. There's a lot of humor in it, but it's a powerful message. Also she will be live in Dallas Jan 4-9 2022

  19. I guess they are going to do the Lemons tribute Saturday? I kept waiting for just anything...but no...just lowell and lance droning on.
  20. The Beguiled with Kidman, Dunst, Farrell and Fanning did not really live up to the cast. Had some interesting plot twists though. The Florida Project with Willem Dafoe was not what I expected. The more things change, the more they remain the same it seems. Sad and uplifting at the same time.
  21. Tom Cavanagh always in Ed seemed to have some decent range. I kind of imagined him in some Atticus Finch type roles, but mainly just did a lot of comic book stuff. He doesn't look too far out of the Goldblum/Hanks mold appearance wise, so I guess it's delivery and range more than anything. She was a favorite of mine too. Her attitude in Falcon Crest was great. And women like her and JLH just come across better in motion than in stills. But I never saw her being much more than a nighttime soap star. A lot of nice eye candy actresses got taken off the screen by marriage. Phoebe Cates (mentioned earlier), Donna Dixon, Kelly Preston. I wonder how much of that could have been them just wanting to get away from the guys like Weinstein.
  22. It's like a cross between a US western/confederacy thing played with a strong woman as the heroine set in 1825 Tazmania. I found it a good story line, and enjoyed seeing how other places depict the violence and injustices. But thanks for answering.
  23. So no one has watched The Nightingale yet?
