  1. Fair enough. My only concern is the QB to WR issue. If they can get that together then it could be a good to great season. If they don’t, I can see teams with strong secondaries loading the box to stop the run and suffocating the O. If you feel that these scenarios are greater than a coin flip of happening then that’s cool. I’m just not going to get my hopes up like I’ve done the last couple of years.
  2. My kool-aid cup must have a hole in it. In two weeks, this O needs to get their shit together. The reports do not bode well for 9-3, if the damn QB-WR’s can’t figure something cohesive out. 7-5 is staring us in the face and is a legitimate possibility. Rage. RAGE. FUCKING RAGE!
  3. Are….. are the girls… ok?
  4. I realize that it’s technically still the off-season, but this thread is a real ass-whip. Fuck, there are some dumb motherfuckers in here.
  5. R.I.P. Cedric. Gone, but not forgotten. 🤘 ...and because I'm selfish, just imagine what his stats/legacy would have been if Mack would have started him before the damn Okie-Lite game.😡
  6. There will be bright spots and head scratching plays with both of these guys. My hope is that it clicks for one before it’s too late. Something similar to James Brown* or Major Applewhite.* *I don’t remember any hype whatsoever surrounding either of these guys before they were put in.
  7. It was obvious, but I still chose to state it.
  8. @thunderlounge with the sentence that could be used to answer almost every thread question/argument/non sequitur/random thought/etc... I sincerely appreciate this response and wanted to highlight it. Having money does not mean you have to spend it. I have the means for a badass boat, but have fished on any floatation device that will hold me. My one requirement is that it must also hold my beer.
  9. anyone here going to the open practice on Wednesday? I'm going to take my father down to see the stadium in person, for probably the last time. I'm going to see how the team looks, check out the stadium renovations, and to take awkward angle photos of the field/SEZ to share with internet brethren.
  10. They can’t help themselves. It’s as if dipshit just oozes out of every pore.
  11. Did you happen to catch the WRs blocking, and doing it well?
  12. Dude’s high.
  13. Wife asked me once how to know if your team is good or not. I told her to watch the lines play and not watch the football. Then watch the WRs and see if/how well they block. If your team's lines are playing well/doing their job and the WRs are good at and actually block, your team is good and it will be reflected in the score at the end. Every game at the beginning of every season for Texas, I watch the above. Every year we are "bad" and can't turn the corner, it's because of this shit right here. Go back and watch our WRs on the 2005 team. They blocked and would truck dudes down the field. It opens so much room and makes it easier for the backfield or TE to get into the open. Really want to see good blocking this year from the WR group. I hope you're right. Not sure how, but still hope. Shit, I'd just like to see Whittington play 2 full games in a row. (If this has happened already, you could knock me down with a feather.) Based on this, I would say that Casey gets the nod and starts the season. Take whatever they are selling you and bet the opposite. It almost never fails.
  14. Agreed. Walking out of that stadium with the win hearing "Poooooooooor Aggies" is like finishing dinner someone else paid for while being handed a glass with two fingers of Macallan 15. Perfect. The tailgate experience before the game was so much fun, because I freakin' knew (had a great feeling, plus their D sucked at the time) we were going to win that game. The game started with Reggie "The Real Deal" McNeil proclaiming that this was his first start against Texas, only to see Dustin Long trot out for their first series. David Thomas got matched up with a slow LB and it was 7-0 within the first 3 mins of the game. Then El Ced (RIP) ran down their throats for the rest of it and it was all but over. Got back to the tailgate and said nothing to everyone who were sitting, sad, next to a radio listening to Dave while I opened a beer and smiled. My friend looks at me and says, "I don't like it when you're happy."
  15. also appetizing? Counterpoint: Southeastern peeps that are shitty get to leave and go back to their "homes" and we don't have to sit here in Texas and listen to them bleat on and on, except for aggy, but they bleat on and on regardless of location. Then if you go to the away games, you get to leave after the games are played. If they talk shit it's from far away and easy to remove oneself from the conversation. In the Big XII, BU/TECH/TCU are like the relatives that live next door to you in their double wide and never stop talking. Think of it like visiting family for the holidays. If they come to you, there is a designated leave time and if you go to them it's the same thing. We got to see each other, now go away and I'll see you in a few months/year.
  16. The offense goes with the Oline, but you have to have good blocking from the WR position. The teams that have good screens and run plays have good to great blocking from their WR group. If not, it kills the plays. Like going from a 3-4 yard gain vs a 9-13 yard gain on the same play. Blocking on O matters.
  17. CSB: I was sitting in the “Zone” for this game with 6 aggy friends. I was the only Burnt Orange for 10 rows or so. The aggy guy in front of me had a slight English accent and his lady had the full English accent. He and I talked before the game and said that he brought his girlfriend over from London to see his beloved aggy beat Texas. I replied “Man, you came all the way to BCS from London? You should have picked a different game. This is going to be over quickly.” The aggy band kicks up the “war hymn” and I start swaying with my friends and laughing my ass off. Guy turns around and asks me what I’m doing, and I reply, “I’m just trying to make my friends laugh and enjoy this experience because everyone around me will be leaving by the 3rd quarter and you came thousands of miles to do so.” That TE slip TD and Ced B posing for a photo in the end zone of one of many TDs that day were glorious, but not as glorious as watching that guy sigh and get up to leave in the 3rd quarter with his girl. 🤣 🤘🏼
  18. Those Red uniforms are the best imo. Classic, clean and recognizable.
  19. Not trying to go back in time on this thread or derail, but Charles’ first cut and acceleration after is unreal. It’s hard to even understand just how hard/special that ability is. 🤘🏼
  20. It really does make me physically ill and feel gross. Waco sucks too. Seriously, how does this not make those women feel completely oppressed and downtrodden? $5k? What a slap in the face.
  21. It's a drop in the bucket, but I will never allow my daughter or grandchildren to attend that university. I used to be indifferent to Baylor, but this makes me sad they exist in Texas. It's just completely dirty and shameful. Gross, and fuck the NCAA.
  22. Best thing that this site has ever done is give you the option to ignore the troll. Best decision I ever made, besides clicking on the Sugar Baby thread.
