  1. I was about to say the same thing, Taaffe was lighting up reporters and 9.95ers - and we are calling him some sark errand boy? fuck the press and the 9.95ers. good on him, I think sports reporters are the dumbest mother fuckers on the planet so lay it on them Taaffe. as for Arch, jesus guys, you can't tell jack shit from the look on his face, he ALSO just got done playing a VERY physical game where he was hit hard all over. It's possible he's exhausted and the question wasn't for him so he let Taaffe take it and he shrunk down a bit. ok so he needs better press handling skills. wtf does that have to do with anything? jesus some fucking phd psychologists up in this bitch. that said, D played lights out, stoops bros are dumber than the sports reporters and 9.95ers, thank you very much. and some good things in special teams. yeah, sark is sark, well, last year we had some WTF games on the way to a championship run. not saying we are going on a similar run but just because we won 23-6 last week doesn't mean yesterday will be a 3 score win and just because yesterday was an abomination doesn't mean next week won't be better. who knows what happens but this team as-is can go 9-3 this season and that puts them in the hunt for the post season. so yeah, fuck the press nitwits.
  2. pretty sure I was still drinking coffee not that I woulda done much better later.
  3. Jesus I forgot Route 66 was 97. So I think it’s 84, 91, 97, 2010… jury is still out on this year.
  4. To be fair now that we’ve brought advanced algebra and trigonometry to the table it is theoretically possible.
  5. Not so humblebrag. I bought a sweatshirt a year or two ago. So this hits close to home.
  6. Yeah I referenced this year above - 6-0-1 going in to the stretch. I think that 15-15 tie was 1 vs 3, Texas #1. Then win only one the rest of the way and get skull fucked by stoops bros and Iowa in the freedom bowl. That was an awful season.
  7. Hard to argue but I would say that perception and the momentum of perception matters. Texas is still a team in decline this year, had Texas won by 3 scores yesterday that’s back to back 2-3 score wins in the SECx3 and the narrative is changing with perception that the Horns are figuring it out. But eye balls and the Manning name certainly could vault a 3 loss Texas team to the playoffs for a one and done disaster. Basically I think style points matters and Texas needs a few games like the OU game where it looks like Texas is pretty good. Last night was not that.
  8. Have we talked about WTF stoops was thinking when he went for it against this defense and this offense? I mean besides eating a bag of dicks? Yeah Texas FG was near automatic - wait Texas OL says hold my beer - he basically gave the game to us.
  9. This is fair but we have two more rivalry games that suuuuuuuck to lose. Season within the season. 1-0 with 2 to go.
  10. He fucks around mid season. Does it every year. This team is bad, but miss st and arky which could be losses should be wins. Georgia is a skull fucking, so that leaves Vandy at home. Yeah Texas could end up on a massive losing streak or win out except Georgia. It’s fucking wild how unpredictable this team will be down the stretch. I was told there would be no math.
  11. I appreciate the sentiment, but I don’t gamble on the outcome of any sports let alone the outcome of a game played by 18-22 year olds.
  12. 10-3 is the ceiling. Texas will lose to Georgia, Texas could lose to MS St. Texas would lose to Vandy on the road but it’s at home. Texas beats A&M until proven otherwise. Something happens when A&M sees the burnt orange. So 8-5 / 7-6 is the floor. pretty shocking really.
  13. Vandy and A&M at home and A&M is highly susceptible to a real defense - and they shit the bed when the burnt orange is opposite them. I would hardly say zero chance against those two teams. 10-3 is the ceiling.
  14. I think this team can be be 9-3 going into the A&M game and for all of sark’s problems I think he gets rivalries. I think we handle A&M but miss the playoffs. We finish 10-3 and go to the Poulan weedeater holiday bowl. But we are 3-0 against our rivals.
  15. I’m talking about the season after it. Ranked and fell of the map. Same in 84. Great seasons (like last year) followed by total garbage the next seasons. But take heart, I’m not seeing much else to compete with the dumpster fire that has become this season.
  16. There’s a lot of truth to this post when you are thinking about your life in middle age. That perspective matters. I tend to agree. But Texas still sucks hairy dusty sweaty North African side street donkey pulling a cart of putrid trash balls. We can accept it for our mental health and celebrate the win, but accepting it won’t make them better. It will only allow us to better enjoy our Sundays.
  17. Zero concerns.
  18. Year after shock the nation tour was atrocious. Year after the Georgia cotton bowl loss wasn’t good either. This season is still ahead of both of those.
  19. Total dog shit
  20. He’s abysmal. Get him out of here!
  21. This is probably true, and we are 5-1 or 6-0 still. There’s that much difference between QE’s game and AM’s. Even I’m in shock at how bad arch can be at times.
  22. Yeah I want uga to pull this out and aggy to lose.
