  1. No chance they saw it and allowed it to make air. Whoever held the sign was able to sneak it through and get it on TV.
  2. Same. I thought they ran out of gas, especially after blowing a big lead. Awesome sign seeing them gut it out down the stretch on the road against a good team.
  3. I’ll never know love or loyalty like whatever echeese had for Greg Davis back in the early 2000’s
  4. Non hobbled Ewers averaged 5.5 yards per completion against an Arkansas team last week that held walk-on tryouts for secondary positions the week before. Hobbled Ewers didn’t even attempt a second half pass past the line of scrimmage today against Kentucky. By any metric, these are examples of bad quarterback play, healthy and unhealthy. If fans seem anxious, it’s because we have an elite defense, veteran offensive line, and 5* playmakers surrounding a quarterback that currently struggles to walk and throw. It’s frustrating because even with a 10-1 record, our ultimate goal of winning a national championship feels out of reach without a change or drastic improvement.
  5. I pray that Snyder era KState is not the model for 2020’s Texas
  6. I don’t think any team in the history of modern football has ever played an entire second half without throwing the ball past the line of scrimmage because they’re confident with their quarterback play.
  7. Yep, agreed. Beautiful throw, but the other 10 guys on offense had to get Texas inside the 5 yard line to find a situation that matches Quinn‘s skill set.
  8. The offensive game plan with Ewers seems to be stringing together 12 consecutive 4 yard completions and attempt a field goal. Arkansas brings so much pressure because Ewers hasn’t provided a consistent deep threat all season.
  9. Ewers is averaging 5 yds a completion against a team that held walkon tryouts for safety and CB positions last week.
  10. Easily my favorite show growing up. It’s available on Amazon Prime for free with commercials. I am about seven seasons into a rewatch.
  11. I haven’t seen the doc yet, but absolutely will. The Home Alone story is great. Home Alone was made on a fairly small budget and after an early cut of the film, producers realized they might have a masterpiece, but needed real composition as the score they were using was a cheap, premade generic cut of Christmas music. They threw a Hail Mary and sent the cut to John Williams and he was so moved by the story he offered to score it for free. I’m sure he was compensated somehow, but the final result was beautiful and perfect.
  12. We've been begging Hollywood for years to be more original and to stop remaking old movies and they responded with a Marlon Brando biopic starring Napoleon Dynamite and the Titanic guy. Our voices have been heard.
  13. It's the fatal flaw of this year's team and alarming it wasn't noticed and addressed back in the summer. It's not like the line has regressed because of injuries.
  14. Demeco didn't have the most promising tone when referring to Nico being evaluated day to day. I'm starting to assume he won't be available this Sunday.
  15. I’ve long been against soft pressure in Hail Mary’s against strong armed QB’s, but it’s even harder to apply pressure when they don’t call an obvious hold on a player that would’ve probably ended the game for Chicago. ScreenRecording_10-27-2024 19-09-45_1.mov
  16. Here’s a high res version of Blood In, Blood Out I found in YouTube a while back. Enjoy! One semester in college back in the late 90’s my roommates and I decided to drop cable and had a Blood In, Blood Out VHS and wore that thing out. It was on loop for almost the entirety of 1999. We knew every word of every line to a 3+ hour movie. Good times!
  17. This is true amongst most professional sports and college identities across the board. The 70’s-early 90’s was the sweet spot where franchises had access to tools for modern graphic design and used them with the sole purpose of creating the most effective and admired identity possible. Since then, teams have watered down their image towards lowest common denominator trends and compromised/contaminated team colors with colors that sell well off a rack, like black, navy blue, and wild neon stuff. It’s why protected identities like Texas, Bama, Penn State, the Yankees, Steelers, Cowboys, etc.. stand out so well in a sea of shiny gift shop toys. No NBA teams make that cut because they’ve all sold out and watered down their brands.
