  1. One thing that has been said about the play of Alabama from national media was that they were usually mistake prone and that Texas got lucky in many respects, but especially with the drops by the Bama receivers. While it is true that that there were about 3 drops drops by the receivers of Bama, I think Texas had just as many between a couple from Jordan, one by Worthy, not to mention the wiff tackle on the last Bama drive or failure of Sark to call time out and reset things for the end of half field goal or the int drop bay Jamison. I think the timing of all of these drops/plays was critical and all could have reasonably resulted in gain or loss of points if not directly and I think Texas had more of those than Alabama. While Alabama also had more penalties, I can not think of a single one where I thought the call was questionable. Even the Bama blindside hit penalty was previously offset by an even less aggregeous blindside Texas block. Likewise, I think all penalties called on Texas had merit. In fact, I think the only truly stupid penalties that were mental errors by Bama were the above block and the flagged hit after the play on the TE. All the others had a forced error aspect (off sides) or a a definite purpose such as intentional injury or play mitigation. Alabama knew what they were doing and it was intentional and purposeful. It was not an undisciplined team early in the season out of its element or a team caught off guard by non SEC officials. I can only recall one penalty that could have been called on Texas (that wasn't) and I didn't see it, but Klatt mentioned some possible defensive holding over the middle of the field on a a play in the first half. Counter that with: 1. Of course, I think the non safety call was nonsense, but that has been discussed to death. 2. The missed face mask call on Robinson, I found to be the equally bad. I would have preferred that the Bama player not done it at all. If that happens, I think Robinson gets at least two more yds and possibly the first down. The fact that the face mask was instrumental in reducing the yardage on the play has not really been discussed much. That is a call that must be made, not only because it is a penalty but because it had a huge bearing on the play and the rest of the game. Additionally, the non call messed up what could have been an epic Texas victory or an even more epic Bama comeback. 3. PI in the endzone non call. I'm going to call offensive holding a wash, since I don't thin a single one was called on either team the whole game. In the end I think the narrative should be that Alabama was lucky that Texas committed more unforced errors, got a huge advantage (at least 3 to 1)in critical obvious non calls, and of course altered the game on a dirty purposeful hit on our starting qb....again.
  2. I'll have what he's having.
  3. I bet they could.
  4. Does aggy get to claim all of Michigan's titles because of this?
  5. Aggy making it hard to drink responsibly.

  7. Those were obvious calls. If refs call the other obvious calls, Texas
  8. It's Friday already? Shit. More cash out for payroll. Fight..I guess.
  9. ...and since "it's " undefeated, we are not really even all that confident, to tell you the truth.
  10. Wanting Trump alive for a painful death is like routing for OU to win because it might help Texas...don't do it...nothing good will come of it. I can't believe I need to even bring this up on this board.
  11. From southeast Austin, TX. TEXAS!!!! or FIGHT!!!! whichever one we're on.
  12. Feats all the more impressive given that he is fighting through painfull bone spurs, a condition so debilitating and limiting that it disqualified him from volunteering for mitary combat service in Vietnam, which he totally wanted o do to serve his country and not use as a bullshit reason for avoiding the draft like a less patriotic person would do.
  13. Mississippi trying to out Florida Texas.
  14. These two are on hold for at least a year.
  15. Are these sections integral (ie monolithic) with the house slab, or are they just flat work poured after the fact?
  16. Looks like somebody is a regular Conrad Dobler...or perhaps Cornrad Dobler.
  17. ...and stampeding cattle...thorough the Vatican.
  18. Reminds me of when I took my oldest to SeaWorld back in 1998 and caught 80's hit band Survivor at the Nautilus amphitheater at like 2 in the afternoon.
  19. Enjoyable game. Good start to the season. Would watch again.
  20. Also, Irish blood vomits.
  21. ..and will create much furor in the land.
  22. Holy shit. That is good. That Jamie Foxx guy should go into entertainment or acting or something.
  23. ..or an oldie but a goodie.. .."This bill marks a giant step forward in the treatment of the insane gambler....harumph "
  24. This is what made Reagan such an effective candidate. Couple that with the late late 70's stagnation in the economy, hostage crisis in Iran, and a pretty successful track record in California wrt budget, backlash against 60's era policies, and contrast to Carter's intellectual measured responses to the shit sandwich he was given.
