  1. How aggy to pick out a certain year to attempt to support an unsupportable argument. Record against the Toadies ... 60 - 28 - 1 Record against Baylor ... 78 - 28 - 5 As for all of the Irate 8 ... I will look at us victorious on the scoreboard one last time, I may think, this may be the last time we play in my lifetime... AND THEN, I WILL THINK OF YOU NO MORE.
  2. So incredibly insightful! You are correct. We all handle adversity, stress, tragedy in accordance with our own gifts and deficiencies. Grief is as individual as our fingerprints. After my daughter died, I had a very dear friend send me a card that resonates with me to this day. It basically said ... When we must endure an unspeakable tragedy, people tend to react in three ways ... (1). It destroys them (see, Brian Loncar; (2). It defines them in a negative way and keeps them in a dusky twilight until the end of their days, or (3). It fills them with incredible resolve. I am so fortunate that my fate was the third path. I hope we all find strength in our lives.
  3. It's interesting. There have been a few Surlyites (Surlytians?) who have jumped in on this thread with attempted humor. And, there is no response in any way. (Until this post.) I can't help but wonder if those who did attempt humor in a thread clearly meant for those who have been through hell and back, have their own stories to tell and yet, maybe the pain is still too great to let it out. It's really not being an asshole. It's not humorous. I do sincerely hope that if there is trauma or some issue within them, they come to peace with it in some way. And for those who have come out the other side.. thank you. It is stories like yours that inspire. The press would have us believe the world is so dark now... what you have been through provides little glimmers of light. Keep it up.
  4. In the Help section of Surly, there is a thread entitled, Depression, OCD, and whatever else ails you between the ears. For those on here whose stories are incredible and so compelling, I strongly recommend reading that thread. My circumstances are on there. No reason for me to hop on here. Just know ... Boys... you are not alone.
  5. Reading this thread, we are addressing so much the receivers dropping passes, or Ewers not hitting open receivers, and so many other corporeal, tangible issues. Perhaps it is something else. When VY was playing, and game was on the line, we knew ... we knew that his freakish athletic ability would kick in and pull out the game. But, it was more than that. Itwas something intangible... that quality, for lack of a better word, he had "its." With Colt, when the game was on the line, it was his incredible accuracy, this coolness under fire. When we had to rely on a last minute drive, the vast majority of times ... Colt delivered. Was he ever a great athlete? NO. But, there was just something intangible about him... he had "It." With Ewers? A million dollar arm. But, some of the decisions he has made in his life, both big and small, makes us wonder. Makes us question. When Ewers comes into the game, and the game is on the line ... do we get that VY feeling? Do we get that Colt feeling? Do we really sit back and with great confidence think, "he's got this. We are about to see greatness?" I can't tell you how much I hope I am wrong on this.. and I am typing this after about 4, 1792 whiskey neats, but I just have never seen that "intangible quality" with Ewers. Yes, last year's Ou game was magical. Same at Bama. So Ewers ... show us all that I am filled with pablum and smegma from my second ex-wife's vagina. Show us.
  6. The bookend juxtaposition is pretty remarkable. Bama's run starts with a double digit win over Texas after Colt gets hurt, Gilbert not ready for the big stage. Texas with a double digit win, Milroe not ready for the big stage. Texas in Stormtrooper Whites, Bama in Crimson. Same. Mack goes away from the offense which brought such success and wants to play smash mouth in the future. Saban wants to play smash mouth football. There was talk that had Texas won that game, Mack would step down. The writing was on the wall. Saban looks tired. Fan rumblings have started. Undoubtedly, the Tide will remain good for awhile. But, the monster they were? When Saban steps down or is forced out ... Is Bama doomed to hire their version of Coach Potato?
  7. Damn! Those blue pills ARE strong!
  8. George Sauer, one of 4 Longhorns to first win a Super Bowl. 1969 New York Jets. He caught 8 passes for 133 yards in Super Bowl III ... from Joe Namath. The other 3 Horns? Tight end Pete Lammons, defensive lineman John Elliot and defensive back Jim Hudson. Hudson was the quarterback who threw a 69 yard touchdown pass in the 1965 Orange Bowl to help defeat No. 1 ranked Alabama. The quarterback for that Bama Team? Joe Namath. The person who caught Hudson's touchdown pass in that Orange Bowl? George Sauer. And now you know... the rest of the story.
  9. From North Dallas, and the back of a Longhorn, hoping MiningHorn brings back some cuban cigars for me from Australia ...
  10. You shut your dirty whore mouth!!! (with some due respect, not all, just some). We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Corch Norvell. In 2015, we were smack dab right in the middle of the "Desert of Potatoes" led by that feckless illiterate, Coach Potato. Going into the Texas - ou game, our record was 1 - 4. We had lost to Notre Dame 38 - 3; lost to Cal ! 45 - 44; lost to Okie Lite 30 - 27, and; lost to TCu 50 -7. We were dead on arrival. Ou was 4 - 0, ranked No. 10, led by Baker Fucking Mayfield. An ou team that would play Clempson in the playoffs. And yet, for one glorious afternoon, it seemed like we knew what play Ou was going to run before they did. Shifts before snaps putting us in just the right place. Our offense taking advantage of their weakness. And for some reason, known only to God and broccoli, we prevailed 24 - 17. How and why? Between 2011 - 2014, Corch Norvell was the Assistant OC and WR coach at ou. He was shitcanned by Goiter Boy in January 2015. 2 weeks later, Coach Potato hires him as our WR coach. That one glorious day in the Cotton Bowl, Norvell knew what ou was going to do. And naturally, he would be bitter because Coach Goiter set him up as the fall guy for ou's wretched playoff performance. Norvell got his revenge. Thanks Coach.
  11. Cotton Spyrer and Johnny Lam Jones check in and say... uh.. hi?
  12. The SECRantlings are going to discover very quickly that we are not aggy ... at all. We do not define ourselves by what conference we are in. We are not the SECSECSEC chanting roboturds. We do not live vicariously through the victories of other schools. Conferences define themselves in part because we are in them. (sounds like my ex-wife, The Sequel). We won't cheer for conference schools unless it has a direct, positive impact on Texas. the SECSECSEC was very happy when they let in the aggycuckolds. They knew aggy would continue to define the very essence of "average at best." But, more recruiting doors were open to SECSECSEC schools to come into the state and plunder. But now, the SECSECSEC has opened its skirts to recruiting in their states to the University of Texas. And we are already seeing results. So, while aggy remains in the barnyard playing with their dicks, furtively looking in the windows and then toward the sheep, UT is in the mainhouse, smoking a cigar, drinking a smooth single malt while the SECSECSEC fixes our sammich before bending over. Our wandering in the desert is over. Moses finally found a damned map. It took awhile to recover from the worst coach in Texas football history.. but by God, it has started. The Giant has awakened.
  13. Doesn't it depend on the airspeed velocity and the number of times the football rotates in its spiral? Even so, I bet an African swallow and a European swallow could carry the football between them on the strand of a creeper.
  14. And on television, the band sounded outstanding! In fact, louder and more clear than Bama's band. Absolutely delicious hearing the Eyes start when Ewers was ending his interview on the field.
  15. That article is greatness! I see now! This game is like being in a whorehouse and not being able to get an erection. There's beauty all around you but you cannot participate in any of the fun!
  16. Damn... I didn't know beards were required. Nothing about that on the sign out front.
  17. From my home in 75252 contemplating life and death as I ponder the passing of a 50 year old, close friend dying in his sleep two nights ago ...
  18. X's mom... Let me count the ways I would let her defile me.
  19. Not the Green Door or the Red Rooster?
  20. That got me thinkin. So, I found a site listing most colleges bowl records. The following dearth of bowl wins jumped out at me: Arizona 9 Baylor 14 Colorado 12 Notre Dame 19 (yes, they did have the voluntary no bowl ban for a number of years) Oregon 16 Texas Tech 16 UCLA 16 The greatest number of bowl victories: Bama 45 Georgia 37 USC 34 Penn State/Oklahoma (sux)/ and Texas 31 Tennessee 30
  21. MY SO is a seller, buyer, appraiser. She has written books on the subject and has testified numerous times as an expert witness. She is not a Horn but I am (Class of 1981) and as such, will see that you don't have the screws put to you. Here is her website: https://geolat.com/ This is her page on 1stDibs... https://www.1stdibs.com/dealers/geolat-mondial-llc/ her direct email is pjgeolat@geolat.com.
  22. Not much wrong with those at all.
  23. Imma channeling the first Big 12 championship game against Nebraska in 1996 Texas 37 Bama 27 Texas -- 503 yards of offense Bama -- 398 yards of offense
  24. From visiting Marin County, including the home of B.J. Hunnicutt, Mill Valley ... TEXAS !!!
