  1. I personally have no interest in starting at LT
  2. It looks like NFL corners do turn and look at the ball most of the time (at least in highlight reel plays), but not necessarily always. In the first half of this video there are plays by both Sauce Gardner (0:08) and Trevon Diggs (2:12) where they never turn. One thing I learned from a little YouTube film study is that top NFL corners are incredibly handsy. Especially Gardner. They are pushing boundaries on basically every play.
  3. This is a good point. NFL fans don't give a shit about going 17-0. It's all about making it to the playoffs and seeing what happens.
  4. I'm incredulous that anyone believes that Arch gives us a better chance to win next year than QE. Love Arch and his potential, but that is a wild take.
  5. One aspect that's interesting to me is that Sark has gotten a lot of credit, and rightly so, for rebuilding our lines quickly and to an SEC standard. But Washington by and large won the LOS on both sides last night. Not sure what to make of that.
  6. I agree. Setting aside Penix, it feels to me like guys like Brooks and Watts have stagnated this year.
  7. Yeah pretty wild swings in the last 24 hours. Get-in-the-door price went from around $2200 pre-games to a peak of nearly $3k after Michigan won to around $1600 as I type.
  8. Their LT literally pulled our guy down
  9. I think we’ll be fine so long as our OL keeps moving them like 4 yards off the ball
  10. Yeah tickets jumped ~$400 instantly.
  11. "Hi, 911? Some weird old guy is following me around Bourbon Street. He's wearing a stained t-shirt with cartoon dicks on it and keeps telling me that he is 'from the internet'."
  12. God damn. Maybe if he doesn't work out at QB we can move him to TE.
  13. One thing to think about is Bama/Michigan fans will get first crack at the secondary market tomorrow.
  14. Definitely not gonna be Sun shine and Flowers. The Seeds of a good line are there, though.
  15. Dre Kirkpatrick’s kid signed with Bama this year. I did the math and the kid had to have been like 3 or 4 when Sr signed with them.
  16. Saw it today. It’s a cute, professionally made family film. Nothing surprising or revelatory, but a decent enough way to spend a couple hours. The songs were good but we’re not going to be listening to the soundtrack 3 months from now or anything like that. They should not have used “Pure Imagination” but I get why they did. That said, I don’t get Timothee Chalamet. He has negative charisma. He’s both miscast and doesn’t do a particularly good job. Not like, distractingly bad but I just kept asking myself out of all the actors in the world, what compelled them to pick Timothee Chalamet? He and Awkwafina must share the best agent in the business.
  17. Already been discussed in this thread, but I think the move for someone that wanted to buy right now would be to buy an RSVP and then layoff some of the risk with a moneyline bet on Washington. By my math you could guarantee you break even if Washington wins, or end up with a ticket for a little bit less than the current secondary market price if Texas wins. On the other hand, as you said, Texas fans buying now are going to take a bath if we lose.
  18. I'm starting to question my assumption that ticket prices will go up if we beat Washington. They've already risen considerably - from $1300 to around $2100 get-in-the-door price. I think all four fanbases are buying right now to lock in a price. Obviously two of the four are going to be selling on January 2.
  19. Bought some 50 mg Delta 8 gummies the other day. Had no idea what I was looking for, never bought any of this kind of stuff before, but Sharmaine was really helpful on the live chat. Quick shipping, overall a very easy buying experience. Like others have said, I have no idea how this stuff is legal in Texas. If you're a novice like me, and wondering if this stuff "works"...uh, yeah, it definitely works. I had one quarter of one 50 mg gummy and that was plenty for me. @Grippe is a maniac eating 275 mg of these things and still being able to function around the house.
  20. Same story for me as pretty much everyone else here - I discovered HornFans as a freshman and here I am 20ish years later. I was just a kid that fucking loved Longhorn sports, especially football, and wanted to discuss them with other people that felt the same way. From there, as I got older, I grew to appreciate being able to discuss other stuff like pro sports, travel, entertainment, and even news/business/politics with people who I’ve always assumed are a lot like me - Texans, college (UT) educated, 30+, sports fanatics. I understand that 18 year olds don’t read message boards anymore, and I’ve actually been thinking about that for a while. What I can’t understand - and I’m definitely showing my age here - is where the conversations that drew me in 20 years ago are happening now? Are people really having lengthy, in-depth conversations about sports in the comments of Instagram posts and YouTube videos? I can’t wrap my head around that. Even if that’s true, you’re at the mercy of whatever topic the content creator feels like covering that day. It’s a one way street. How does that build community?
  21. Damn this guy looks like a real cunt
  22. Kinda sucks that McMillan is way, way better than OU’s secondary but Arizona’s OL can’t even give their QB one fucking second to throw.
  23. Arizona’s OL is quite poor
