  1. Excellent. Everyone knows you always lose the game that is the second furthest West you've ever played.
  2. This is exactly the point I was making. I think its much more significant and interesting to discuss the westward distance, not just absolute west position. Clearly that is more relevant to the game. Also, I am not yet ready to concede that this is the furthest west they've ever played based on continental drift alone. If the continental drift rate of North America is 2.3cm per year, that pales in comparison to the magnetic pole shift rate of somewhere between 15 and 34 miles per year, depending on your source. I haven't had a chance to research the magnetic pole locations in 1951 vs. 2024 to see how that may affect how far west DKR was respectively. And before you start blathering on and on about the distinction between the magnetic pole and the geodetic pole, I will go ahead and point out that there is also further analysis required there. And with the Earth's precession rate of around 1 degree westward per 72 years. Since the last game was played in 1951, we should be just over 1 degree off. Therefore, its entirely possible that objectively, Austin actually less west than it used to be.
  3. I am no geologist or geography expert, but I understand that Kentucky is also in North America and thus must be drifting southwest as well. If North America is neither stretching or compressing (which may be a faulty assumption), the distance between Kentucky and Austin would remain the same. Thus, while it may be true that this game will be the farthest West in relation to, say, the Prime Meridian, the game should be the same distance west from Kentucky to Austin. Therefore, I am slightly lest enthused about the westwardness of this matchup than I would be if it were also the farthest distance west that they have travelled. Does anyone know how far west we've travelled? This seems like something we ought to know so we are ready for it when we break the record.
  4. I'm sorry to hear about his wife's cancer, but she sounds like a fighter. Jimbo's wife also kept swinging and she didn't even have cancer.
  5. Wonder if Drinkowitz is still thinking playoffs
  6. USC is quickly becoming my second favorite SEC team
  7. The sooner plot will reveal it was a sausage wrap all along.
  8. They’re better on defense than Arkansas but not offense. If the defense plays like today, I like our chances.
  9. We were point shaving today, gentlemen. Someone took Arkansas and the points.
  10. We don’t have a great roster for playing conservative. It would have been better to stay aggressive and just accept the occasional turnover
  11. Glad to see Quinn and Sark wake up
  12. Also tired of the RBs not getting a few positive yards and dancing around for a loss
  13. One more field goal and we cover the spread.
  14. Our offenses motto is “Fine whatever. Booty” this game
  15. Defense is playing great. Quinn sacked himself 3 times I think.
  16. This Offensive performance is so frustrating
  17. Barron came to play today
  18. Audrey is holding out for Arch.
  19. I’m not sure I would describe the Strong years as mediocre…
  20. That guys thinking about who he’s going to vote for in the election.
  21. Wow, well maybe he won’t remember this game.
  22. Looked like targeting to me
  23. You guys are good.
  24. OU and A&M seem to have very similar QB situations.
