Shit match-ups go on the shit channels/streams. The egg is the match-up, the chicken is the channel/stream. 

Today I learned CTJ considers "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" a solved problem.

It is a solved problem though. Proto-chicken lays current-chicken egg. Chicken hatches from existing egg.

Given CFB games are like 90% commercials, it's perfectly reasonable to walk away in the 2nd half and move on with your day. 

This is the most 6th Street comment I've ever seen, and I've seen probably a hundred of the mental train wrecks that pass for your opinions. You are the walking personification of "Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber" in living, breathing form.

Just watched Film Guys video on defending Jeremiah Smith.

1) Maybe it's sample bias but we sure do seem to bring out the best in opposing QBs.  Howard had amazing foot work, pocket composure, threw some crazy darts into tight windows.   

2) I forgot how many near INT we had in the first half, right off the finger tips, smfh.  We need to bring those in next time. 

3) I sure would like to feel like we're the team with the unstoppable, unflappable QB in these high stakes games.  I was a Q loyalist, but I didn't really have that feeling in big (playoff) games.

See- if I read this comment I’m like- oh- a moron said this and pay it no mind. A month later I can’t remember which moron said it. That’s a feature not a bug. I feel sorry for you that you have 1000 of his comments rattling around in your head.

Howard started playing really well against Tennessee in the first round of the playoffs and kept it up for the next 3 games.

That's...not really how brains work, particularly not mine. I don't have hundreds of his comments in my head. But I've got enough of a learned sense over time that when I see one of his comments, I go "OH fucking shit, this moron's done it again." It's a learned familiarity. Kind of the same way human beings have evolved to instinctively know to jump back from snakes. It doesn't mean I know how many snakes I've seen.

Haven't you ever been talking to someone who says they're a big Texas football fan and realize pretty quickly into the conversation that the two of you have different understandings of what that actually means?

I don't know @SydneyCarton. Methinks you could probably pull this off.

Do people not watch the other games in a given day? I mean, I get it if you have the dreaded fall wedding or kids sports events or whatever, but blocking out a nice Saturday to just watch all the games is so much fun. If we're blowing out SHSU in the third, I'll just drop in on the other games during the commercials or mostly switch over if a good game is close.

Haha yes. The one I always laugh about was some dude who called himself the world's biggest Texas fan. I learned after a few seconds that he didn't go to Texas and has never been to a Texas game (and he lived in Austin). I wasn't sure how to respond.

The way Bobby continues to be all cryptic towards the Goosby injury, I’m just going to assume he’s not playing. I think Chatman is more than capable of holding down that spot. I’m not saying he’ll be lockdown, but he wont get ran through. Also he may be just as good as Goosby in the run game. 

Chatman hasn’t fully recovered from knee surgery enough to be viable, apparently. 

Anyone still expecting Goosby to play against Ohio State hasn’t been paying attention.

I’ve responded differently at different stages in my life. These days, I get really thirsty and wander off quickly trying to find the concession stand or bar or punch bowl or whatever.

We left spring practice apparently fine with Brooks backing up Goosby. Did the DUI derail that? We apparently have no interest putting him in at LT against OSU.

No, brother you’re the sane one.  I don’t know what the fuck is going on with some of these.

I’m not sure about where things sit with Brooks. I do not believe he’s a candidate to start in The Shoe, apparently.  Buckle up.

Ah, the mellowing of age. We've come a long way from publicly humiliating other tables of Texas fans at BW3 for cheering for OU against Texas Tech to the point they left their table or the entire restaurant in...what was that, like 2008?

I posited on OTF that we could see something really strange. Like Baker-Neto-Robertson-Campbell-Hutson. If no Goosby or Chatman, and we're not comfy with Brooks at LT. Options get limited pretty quick.

I think something similar happened to Ohio St last year.  Luckily for them, they had a really good guard who could play a very solid left tackle.

No, that can still happen. I'm talking about transitioning from the need to feather out for someone that they're not as big of a fan as they think they are when conversing somewhere in public to just realizing that we're on different levels and there's no way for me to discuss the longhorn world in a fulfilling manner and moving on. I don't want to detract from a nice enough person's experience and I don't have the interest to patiently listen to their stories about how wonderful Mack Brown is or Teh Major was such a gamer or whatever.

Goddamnit. You've introduced (into the surly records) two @Wulaw Horn visuals recently:

1. him sticking his finger into a giant bowl of queso, mixing in salsa, and wiggling it around; and

2. him rubbing his vagina (presumably with his fingers, again).

I've seen Wulaw Horn in person before (and his fingers); now my mind's eye can't unsee this unholy merging of him, his fingers, his unkept vagina, and some sort of red, chunky plasma cheese. I'm all for using this forum to publicly call him out and shame him, but for the love of god, please refrain from further describing what he does with his fingers.

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.

This guy I used to know named Snosausages was Major's weed dealer in college. csb

As soon as a so called "Texas Fan" says they heard/read on "Orangebloods" I immediately leave to get another drink and avoid them like the plague...

I may be wrong here, but I don’t recall Chatman ever having knee surgery. When was this? Dude even played fullback some against Ohio State, he looked nimble as fuck in space. He murdered Sonny Styles on the goal line. Bad part is the whole left side whiffed their blocks.

Yep. That's one of the dead giveaways. I used to try to help them understand other options and such, but these days, "where did that cocktail waitress go ...?"

Yeah, maybe I'm way off base here and Chatman is out there all spry and shit, laying asses out all over the place next Saturday. I hope you're on the money.

I watched the all-22 of their first few drives the other day to try and remember how they were covering Smith, and yeah there were three near interceptions on their first two drives including one near their endzone 

We were zoning up the outside and deep and Howard had a lot of relatively easier first read check down throws, especially over the middle

If Sayin is really 5’11ish, he probably won’t be able to see the middle consistently, if he even had the green light to go there. Ohio State needs to successfully run the ball and take low risk shots.

In that respect they may look a lot like Texas 23 offense.

Chatman is one of the more athletic guys on the line, probably top 3. He’s in his third year. He has played quite a bit in mop up duty. He has faced some of the best pass rushers in the country all year long. I could think of shittier situations. Is plugging him in at LT your best five though?

We are going on the theory that he is not healed up enough to play against OSU. Or to play well enough anyway.
