  1. That's not a muff. A "muff" is designated as only a dead ball that cannot be advanced by the opposing team. By rule, that ball was live.
  2. That's exactly where I was at the time. I was saying at half "give Card another possession and if it sucks, let's switch."
  3. His possession results have been as follows (I'll spare the labeling of the games just so that we can get to the number to which you're referring) 1. TD 2. TD 3. FG 4. TD 5. TD 6. Punt 7. TD 8. T.O.D 9. TD 10. FG 11. Punt 12. TD 13. TD 8 TD's 2 FG's 2 Punts 1 TOD It's certainly a lot better than what we've been seeing from Card, who's been shown to be green in just about every way that can be. That's not a knock on the kid at all, but compare where the 2 are just in terms of their stages in development and it's not close. Thompson's displayed a much better presence in the pocket, his decision making is noticeably better, his composure, his read progression in the passing game, etc. None of that is to say Card won't turn into that kind of player, but he hasn't and Thompson has. This really shouldn't be a complicated issue.

    9/11

    Far be it from me to ever agree with anything that Joe Biden says even remotely close to foreign policy, but when he said that any sentence Rudy Giuliani says contains a noun, a verb, and 9/11, I couldn’t have agreed more. There’s 9/11, the actual day in 2001 where 3k people were murdered, and there’s 9/11TM, as Keith Olbermann put it, which he described as any pathetic attempt to engender jingoism and intolerance against anyone in the Middle East they simply do not like.

    9/11

    That’s a 9/11 every 3 days…200 times over.
  8. She’ll just be fine writing all those fiction books she’s got planned in her head in between all the “your mother sucks cocks in hell” interruptions in her brain worms.

  11. And in some cases, what’s considered “left” is still very much to the right of center. For twenty years, the militant corporatist Hilary Clinton was portrayed in the pig-ignorant right wing Nutosphere as being the second coming of Che Guevara. When so-called “conservatives” in America wine about the left, leftism, liberals, liberalism, et al, what they’re talking about is best described as “anyone to the political left of Atila the Hun.” It’s a joke.
  12. Every logical fallacy that can be used against national healthcare has been used Every argument against national healthcare is logically fallacious. That’s just one of those arguments where we need to hit the mute button when hearing/reading the kind of insipid drivel as we were treated to. To even entertain it is to lose one’s humanity, much in the same way that one loses one’s humanity when engaging people who propose the flat earth model in lieu of the oblate spheroid on which we live…or that the stork model is a better explanation of child birth than pregnancy.
  13. It’s not reframing at all. That’s just one of the many pathetic attempts at false equivocation; a sport of which “pro-life” right wingers are the all time world heavyweight champions.

    Oh it’s better than y’all think. When some of you degenerates sit down to watch teams like UT warm up, you’ll see them walk the field in warm ups, come back out in pads and start some drills about 60 minutes prior to kickoff and they go in with like 15-30 minutes left before coming back out to play. Oh but not this dude. Kelley’s teams show up to the stadium like 25-30 minutes before the game, run to the locker room to quickly get dressed and they spend whatever spare time warming up. With Kevin it’s non-stop insanity, but when you look at his analytics…it’s not THAT insane.
  15. Won’t be saying a whole lot other than what may go unnoticed. So for example this week, the D grade looks like shit on the surface but when you factor in: 1) what orange boxes they did get 2) the fact that most of the red ones were really on the strength of the volume those guys put in when the game was in hand in the 4th quarter (they had 189 yards in that quarter, overwhelmingly in the short passing game that Texas was letting them have as fool’s gold)… I wouldn’t be too concerned. The only thing I hated was that they didn’t miss a single fourth down. I’m sure it’s already been mentioned but this was the first time in UT history that a new HC made his debut against a ranked team and won it. Not a game I want to do over at all.
  16. Yeah I’ll probably end up doing that in the remaining weeks.
  17. You misspelled “propensity to live in a fantasy world.”
  18. Yes, I'm doing this again. Did it in 2014 for Strong's first year, 2017 for Mensa, now Sark's getting his due look in the same context. Trying to do this an easier way than the Photobucket option, please advise if it can't be seen. Grades_ Week 1.xlsx

    That literally was the subject of the Mack’s pregame speech after watching it the night before. Evidently he just told the team “whatever you do in life, don’t go on the Springer show.”

    That’s the most overblown aspect of the game and it’s really just something ESPN had to talk about. Putting Bush in the game wouldn’t have done anything for them. He was held to a double digit rushing total and they really didn’t give give him a whole lot of touches in the second half precisely because White was killing Texas’ defense, specifically on the exact play they ran. ”oh but he would have been a decoy.” No one in that stadium would have believed he was actually going to get the ball, especially Gene Chizik. With Bush in the game, Chizik makes the same defensive call and no player would have been given a special instruction. USC never had a package with both of them in the game (it was always one or the other), never had any plays with that and certainly never tried it in that game specifically. Pete Carroll absolutely made the right call, Texas’ defense just rose to the occasion.

    All I needed. "It was now 4th and 5 at the USC 8 with the clock stopped at 26 seconds remaining. This was the ball game. This was the play that I had waited for 13 years to see ever since I started going to Texas Longhorn football games with my dad. This was the moment he had waited to see since Texas lost to Notre Dame in the 1971 Cotton Bowl; a game which terminated Texas’ 30-game winning streak. This was the game and the moment Dad had been dying to take me to ever since I was born, which oddly enough was only a little over a month after Texas’ last bid for a national championship when they fell 10-9 at the hands of the Georgia Bulldogs in the Cotton Bowl. The USC crowd was as loud as it ever was the entire game. The Texas fans around me were mostly dead silent, most of them holding a Hook 'Em Horns in the air as was common when a pivotal play at the end of a game was about to take place. The play called was Gun Left Jack Menu 2. After they broke the huddle, Quan Cosby lined up to the far left, Brian Carter lined up in the slot to the left, David Thomas lined up as the tight end on the left, Limas Sweed lined up as the split end to the right, and Selvin Young lined up as the running back on Vince’s right. USC lined up in another awkward looking quarters shell with 4 down linemen, 2 linebackers, and 5 defensive backs. USC again inverted to a single high safety look. As the ball was snapped, the Trojans blitzed both linebackers. David Thomas ran a short out route and was covered by the strong safety. Carter and Cosby ran verticals into the end zone, as did Limas Sweed. After Frostee Rucker was given a tremendous shove at the line of scrimmage by right tackle Justin Blalock, he recognized that Selvin Young was running a circle route over the middle. Instead of continuing to rush Vince Young, who at that point had amassed 459 yards total offense (192 rushing, 267 passing), he stayed true to his assignment to cover Selvin. USC defensive end Lawrence Jackson actually got a decent rush off the edge, but left tackle Jonathan Scott had chipped him just enough to where he couldn’t get to Vince. The rest of the USC pass rush was a non-entity. Vince looked off his first read, which looked to be Limas Sweed, and took off to his right. Recognizing what was happening, Rucker abandoned his assignment and reversed his direction as fast as he possibly could. Not only did Vince outrace Rucker to make the first down, but he had an angle at the corner of the end zone and Kevin Thomas was too late! Vince crossed the goal line with a mere 19 seconds left to play in the game!!! TOUCHDOWN TEXAS!!!"
  22. This bears severe repetition. If one is one of those dumbasses that describes themselves as "pro-life," and one plans to defend their position by citing the Bible, they will absolutely fail rather spectacularly. The Bible does not support their position, and one would understand that if they actually read what was in their favored text. The biggest failing religious people have is that they read into their texts things they do not say, and then they ignore what they do say. That's called "reading between the lines without reading the lines."
