  1. I hear aggy might be looking for a new coach soon...just saying.
  2. The 2010 team stunk worse than trout left in a playmate cooler in the trunk of a 2004 Dodge Neon for two weeks . Nobody should be sniffing the 2010 team if they know what's good for them .
  3. People with glass Big 12s shouldn't throw stones
  4. ...and monkey shines with a healthy scoop of skulldugery .
  5. Odd scene, but Quinn made a motion like he was going to take off his helmet. I could see a good ref warning him not to do it or trying to preempt an over the top celebration that might also draw a penalty. Plenty to bitch about ref wise in this game without taking a deep dive on this play where essentially nothing happened.
  6. Looks like it's time to revitalize the "awesome jugs machine " thread.
  7. ...tied with that 1914 unclaimed national title team no doubt. Texas got jobbed by the Yale centric system and all of the Pudge Hefelfinger hype.
  8. I thought it was bit, so I just played along.
  9. All I know is USF defense > Texas defense.
  10. Does this thread get locked permanently at kickoff tonight? Feels like we need to move on and are beating a dead elephant.
  11. This is Surly. There will be a Jonestown vibe if we don't cover with style.
  12. This has been a long week. It has felt like three weeks. Like the rest of the SEC, I too am now tired of Bama talk. Not as bad as waiting for 2006 Rose Bowl though. The last 2 days before that game felt like 6 months. My in laws being in town may have also factored in.
  13. Seems like an ok idea to me. Try the new guy out against a crap opponent to motivate former starter, get some depth snaps, and not throw the backup to the wolves in conference play. Classic Saban. I see little downside since I am a Texas fan.
  14. Just like every other week. But hey, at least we're not TexAgs.
  15. TEXAS !!! Hook them!!!!!
  16. Javier Wooooooorthy!!!
  17. Other than offsides, I thought most of their penalties were pretty strategic or a least understandable given the circumstances and were the result of being caught out of position rather than being otherwise undisciplined. One of the reasons I am a little more moderated on this game, is the due to how the game was called by the officials-correctly I might add. I just don't think there us any way we get those calls in big 12 play. We might get the PIs, but I'm sure they pick up the flag on the man down field and call the offsides a false start on us and throw in a few more holds just for good measure. In big 12 play, Texas will have to cut down on the drops and unforced errors that have a way evening out in order to overcome officiating.
  18. It was top 5. I already had too many. Plus UCLA is my 2nd favorite team. Brian Poly-Dixon is still running.
  19. Finally, somebody who gets it!!!
  20. 1991 Cotton Bowl V. Miami Any game v. BYU 2000 and 2003 OU 1987 and 1988 U of H.
  21. Yes there are reasons to be very optimistic. But in a two game sample I have seen mediocre oline play in one and a defensive performance against Alabama that was arguably marginally worse than last year. I'm not saying that the light hasn't switched on, but it's two games and we we were kind of "here" last year after this game and OU.
  22. I still call it MNC since the playoff hasn't expanded to my liking just yet. I don't disagree with anything you are saying and pointed out that the championship frequency would go down. But this is a loss (Texas) that Saban has almost every year and he's even had a few at home. Further, 6 championships in 12 years was not sustainable even for Nick, not even for the lovechild of Knute Rockne and Bud Wilkerson would such a thing be sustainable. Since their last championship game appearance, Alabama has had exactly one 2 loss season(been there done that more than a few times) and a home loss against a really good team. This may be the beginning of a marked decline based on the projected landscape of college football, but the won/loss evidence is just not there yet.
  23. I really enjoyed this one and am kind of done reveling in media attention, aggy tears, and in depth play breakdown until the next big w. Texas was kind of at this point last year too even though there was no w. In many ways last year's defensive performance was better than this year's against a better qb. A healthy Ewers makes all the difference on offense, but that was not a cure all later in the season. Teams change and get better, so here's hoping Texas can keep up the intensity. ..and yes, I am pretty fun at parties.
  24. I think there is a myth about Saban and his teams that they are/were some kind of rolling juggernaut year and year out as if each championship season they fielded a team that was on par with 2005 Texas, 95 Nebraska, etc. The only Saban team I think you can possibly say that about was the 2020 team, and even that team gets an asterisk due to covid. His 2009 team, while undefeated, well we all saw the game. All his other championship teams had a loss and at least one other close game that could have been a loss against a team nowhere as talented. In between, there gave been plenty of 2 or 3 loss seasons, where they ended up losing one or two of those close games. Hell, they just played in the championship game two seasons ago and lost to a team they had already beaten soundly which evened out a similar reverse scenario with them and LSU back before the playoff format. Saban's strength was always consistency and process and it allowed Alabama to always be in the mix even with the talent ebbs and flows. Saban is still Saban and if there is any drop off it won't be because of him. NIL and the portal may cut into the frequency of MNCs, but that's just because others got better, not because Saban got worse.
  25. How about one that says: OU SECks !!!
