    All that bullshit from those morons is going to end after this season.

    No, it won't.  They'll never shut up, and it will never end.

  2. A little perspective here.  Was Quinn perfect?  No.  But - if you expected him to be, you haven't been watching much football this year.  When it became clear we could not run, we had to put the offense on him.  He went 31/47 for 369.  He threw the ball away when he had to.  He did not turn the ball over.  Worthy had three straight-out drops.  1) the one down the middle in the 4th quarter 2) the little slant that hit him right in the chest, and 3) the long one down the left boundary.  There was also one occasion where he absolutely failed to track a potentially catchable ball.  Whittington had a drop on  3rd down.  Add in those 4 "should have beens" (yeah, I know...), and you get a stat line of 35/47 for approaching-Texas-bowl-game-record yardage.  Had you been told at the start of the year that your freshman QB would, in his bowl game, go 35/47 for over 400 yards, would you have said:

    1) That guy sucks.

    or 2) That's a pretty good effort.

    I still think Ewers is going to be good, maybe not great, but certainly good enough.  Putting a loss like this on him is just silly.

    My uncle (RIP) played bass for a young SRV back during this time.  He also played with Will and Charlie Sexton as well and was a regular at the Continental Club on S. Congress.  His name was Alex Napier, maybe you do or do not recall him.  He could not read a lick of music.  Just listened and played.  He is mentioned in SRV's autobiography as "a hippie from South Oak Cliff" in his book.  My mother has a mood ring SRV gave to Alex that he wore until he passed.  I keep asking for it, and I keep getting denied. 

     

    EDIT: Not to be confused with the current band Alex Napier and Daybreak.

    I saw your uncle play MANY times at the Continental and other places.  He was a fine bass player - always enjoyed his music.

  4. Card has earned my respect by going out and competing to the best of his ability when he was called upon, even when injured.  That's enough for me.  Sometimes things don't work out, but I wish him nothing but the best as he moves on.

  5. I should have seen this one coming.  

    I've had a persistent cough for the last couple of weeks, and have been prone to coughing fits that go on for several seconds.  Here I am today, standing in the bathroom taking a leak, when a coughing fit hits.

    You know the rest.

  6. I keep thinking this game may be very important to Sarkisian's tenure on the 40.  Has any Horns head coach lost to Kansas twice in football?  Certainly not in back-to-back years, I wouldn't think.  Since Kansas is fairly new to the schedule, let's equate them with Rice and ask the same question:  has any coach lost in back-to-back years to bottom feeders?

  7. Have you seen their dogshit schedule?  The only good team they play the rest of the way is Ole Miss.  I'll count that one as an L.  They SHOULD win all the others, unless they find a way to aggy it up against LSU.  So, worst case, they go 7-5.  Best case, 8-4.  Pretty mediocre.
