  1. This espionage fascinates me. The S&T (science & technology) targets seem to be easiest to infiltrate.
  2. Was only a Horn briefly, but I always bad for him given his injury in high school. And weren’t there rumblings about Herman’s staff mishandling his injury? Ja’Quinden Jackson was one of the Jag’s last cuts and was signed to practice squad at RB.
  3. Cedric was 2 time 1st team big 12, 1 time 2nd team big 12 in 2002 with Chris. Each of those years littered with other Longhorns. Try again. I picked all conference selections because other Texas QBs with the same OC achieved it as well as other more recent QBs being discussed here achieved it. The game and stats change over time but the means of recognition doesn't. And drop the conspiracy talk. That sounds like an emotional response.
  4. Crouch won the Heisman. When even Helobious is agreeing with you, it's time to reassess your position.
  5. I never said mediocre. Overrated/underachieving? For sure. Chris Simms never excelled at UT. A very simple way to demonstrate that is he was never a first or second team all conference selection, by coaches or media. The two years worth of playing (if you discount 2000 when he was benched on two separate occasions), Eric Crouch, Kliff Kingsbury, and one Seneca Wallace were selected over him. You can scoff at that criteria if you want, but at the time those QBs were seen as better and more valuable players than Chris. Other relevant UT QBs that received such honors, Quinn 2nd team twice, Sam 2nd team once, Major one 1st one 2nd, and of course Colt and VY. As has been pointed out, top 10 in passing categories for the career is not the gotcha you think. If you want to get into how his stats stacked up with his peers we can do that. For all the talk about the horizontal passing game of GD he never completed over 60% of his passes in a season. Never in the top 20 in the country in a season. Yards per attempt 53rd in 2001, he did rise to 12th in 2002. That was his best standing in any one metric. He never won a conference title, famously made it to one conference championship game which was a disaster. His OU record speaks for itself. Overall his tenure was disappointing, despite some great memories like Aggie victories and the Cotton Bowl over LSU. Overrated/underacheived.
  6. There’s a greater than zero chance that one of those offers was from Miami to bump out Quinn.
  7. I was in school at the same time as him. I've heard those stories in the past and the way he was treated was unacceptable. They're all young men trying to do their best representing UT. His career can still be looked at objectively. And it has been for decades on UT boards. Ok. Thanks for the well written content. Agree to disagree.
  8. The correct answer is Chris Simms. Arrived in a limo, had repeated position battles with a JAG, never even had an all conference selection. Fumbled some of the most talented rosters in Texas history. Pretty straightforward.
  9. No. It doesn’t represent the University but it is representative of it. The good, the bad, the retarded, the looney tunes. I guess might as well include it all.
  10. Oh give me a break, that’s it? I stand by my original statement. Unless I’m wrong he was well liked by his teammates despite all the hype and being the highest paid player. I never heard any differently. That should be good enough for these so called “fans” of our football team. Good luck to Quinn. Miami looks like a good landing spot for him. Zach Wilson is ahead of him and he can’t inspire much confidence in McDaniel.
  11. Jeez. Sound like a bunch of fucking psycho scumbags. Guess people can really just post whatever they want on a University board.
  12. Of course we all preferred Arch, but to his credit he did have the most passing yards of any QB against our superior talent on D last year. Unfortunately sometimes receipts must be brought-en.
  13. For anyone that can read a few sentences, here's some context. Marvel $1.3-1.5 billion. Spurs on hook for $500-700million. Frost Bank Center original construction $186 million. Spurs contribution was $28.5 million. Bigger absolute numbers obviously, but the percentage contribution from the Spurs has increased substantially.
  14. I mean yeah I did. The point is that who makes it to top 12 is way more unpredictable than you might expect every year. I imagine you would've said wtf to anyone suggesting ASU, SMU or freaking Indiana last year.
  15. I didn't see a playoff thread so I thought I'd drop this here. Was listening to Audible podcast and they were breaking down their playoff picks. Russo brought up his research (new to me) that shows the typical breakdown of playoff teams (or their end of season rankings) and their position in the preseason polls. For the current format, you would typically have, 4 of the top 5 get in 2 from 6-10 2 from 11-20 1 from 21-25 3 unranked My picks would be Texas, Penn St, Clemson, Georgia (Ohio St falls off somehow, our beatdown sets them on wrong track, Sayin is no good) Notre Dame, LSU (ND returns a lot, trust Nussmaier more than Simpson at Bama) Arizona St, Florida (ASU repeats as Big12 champ, Florida seems as good as any other pick in that range) Iowa St Nebraska, Tulane, Georgia Tech (Tulane is the Group of 5 pick but otherwise dart throws)
  16. I’m trusting EliteMarino on this. Also, from the comments 😂
  17. Are you a real person or just some kind of retard bot?
  18. 38-16 Longhorns Arch 327 yards Parker Livingstone 1 TD
  19. You make some great points. We need more infrastructure and road expansion projects here. Definitely don’t see that anywhere.
  20. Glad this is getting pushed through. The Austin Spurs are lurking possibility if it isn't done. San Antonio would then be cooked as a city.
  21. I'm a fan. Really want them to win. Get overly emotional about it at times. Have owned season tickets for 15 years. Just don't have the bandwidth to know it all as in depth as I did say 10 years ago. He wasn't? This guy I used to know named Snosausages was Major's weed dealer in college. csb
