  1. In the bowl game he had just a little more time to throw and his receivers were just a bit more open and perhaps his throws were 1/4 step better. Game of inches and all that.
  2. Texas also shot themselves in the foot with motion penalties around the goal line on three occasions I think. Probably cost ourselves at least 4 points on those with the last one costing 3 points on the 4th and one goal line stand. Add those back into scoring and kicking the XP instead of going for 2, puts you comfortably ahead by 3 scores all of which need to be TDs for TCU. Really just a build up of small compounding errors making this game closer than it needed to be given TCU's turn over issues and Bijan's running. Then throw in hitting those open deep passes and get rid of the dropsies and the situation is even better, as you said, but certainly not required for a comfortable win. Against better teams, this will costs Texas. I hate to say it but minus the feeding of Bejan, this was a very Tom Hermanesqe type of game that looked a lot like last years game flow. Reminded me of the end of the WV game.
  3. On replay, a couple or three of costly false starts in goal to go scenarios . Gotta clean that up. All of them potentially costing 4 points each. Between those, some BS PF penalties, Thompson's overthrows, and Xavier's drops, really kept this game much closer than it needed to be given TCU's apple turn overs. Good on TCU, a couple of those fumbles could have been housed if they were not hustling. Saved them some points. Unrelated question on Thompson's INT. Bad decision but do you think he threw it thinking he would get the holding flag? My guess is probably not. One, you don't need to throw it to pick up the penalty like PI. Two, it happened pretty early in the route, so even if he saw it he would have known there was no flag.
  4. Oops. Did not see other thread. Delete thread. Ban user. Carry on.
  5. TCU is over. Since most of you are hungover on aggy tears,I thought I would get this rolling as a public service. This is the place for analysis, speculation, and OU sucking leading up to the time when we have an inevitably locked game thread. Beat the hell out of OU sux!!! Begun, game week has.
  6. Meh. That's about right. Would be nice to crack the teens for match up optics this week, but whatever.
  7. You will enjoy the middle of the game, but even that was frustrating on many levels.
  8. Also, that Jesus palm/forearm looks a little pale.
  9. Ali was past his prime as a fighter when I saw him in the ring (on tv). I always chose to remember him for his pitchman work. I always liked the way he said "bugs" like boooogs.
  10. My 15 YO son picked this out last night. 13 YO son along for the ride. Red Light , Green Light got my attention. In. Since Parasite came out we have been on a Korean film kick. All of them have been pretty good.
  11. Bijan carrying the ball in his left hand on that first TD v. Tech reminded me of Emmitt Smith. Then I went and looked at Emmitt's highlights. There are a lot of similarities, but Emmett had some huge holes to run through at Florida and Dallas. Bijan makes his own holes, as it were.
  12. That sounds like a 1960's/1970's Disney animated cartoon musical number....from Walt's private personal collection.

    ....and an Erwin Center favorite:
  14. Tech stats are kind of misleading. If K. Robinson doesn't have his foot and face over the line, Texas at least prevents the TD on that drive and gets the ball back on a punt or better. Tech's drives from the beginning of the game would have gone: Punt Punt (ifs and buts) Interception Downs TD End of Half Interception Punt Not a bad start, really.
  15. No. Most redneck thing was killing a hog with a plastic shard from a Larry the Cable guy VCR tape and then cooking the hog with Confederate money.
  16. Not that are open at 8 in the morning and not between my hotel and the cotton bowl. Even if there were, I was not the driver, and my crew was already going through the withdrawal shakes and needed their wax cup beer.
  17. 11 AM is the correct answer. Arrive at the fair before 9AM eat and drink as much as you can. Find the secret cheap wax cup beer kiosk. Profit. ..and remember to pack your comfortable game shoes....one year I packed in the morning on Friday, went to work until noon and then headed up to Dallas, only to find on Saturday morning that I forgot my running shoes. The forecast for the day was unseasonably warm so I wore shorts with my lace up construction boots and my UT shirt. I was a sight to behold. 2nd most redneck thing I have ever done. Texas lost badly.
  18. Looks like Peter Pan.
  19. Does this thing tomorrow get its own thread or are we keeping it on the down low until things get real?
  20. Using old photos, schedules, and my memory, I placed my allegiance somewhere in the 1973 season when I was 6 years old. At that point I didn't really understand what was going on so much, but it all seemed to be a big deal, so I got on board. Growing up in Austin, it was pretty much the default. Where it really hit overdrive was in the fall of 1975. My mom, knowing I was a fan, spotted a six pack display of Pearl Bear ( Could have been another brand, I still have the cans in my attic so I can check later), sporting the 1975 Texas Longhorns schedule on the back. So she bought a six pack, and my twin brother and I were allowed to finish off the dregs of a few. Not my first taste of the magic elixir, but what an association. As someone famous once said..."Ah, how sweet the wine". Ended up mostly watching on TV, except for a few Arkansas games and a few "band" days over the years. Ended up in LHB for 85-88 and the team sucked. Enjoyed the "Shock the Nation" tour while it lasted and I guess I technically finished BBA and MPA in fall of '90 so the Miami debacle didn't occur on my watch. CSB(re football team sucking): We always had tons of extra people that did not make LHB every fall and "those people", as I liked to call them, were usually swept up by the men's basketball band as a fall back. Womens' bball band was voluntary by game with regulars getting to attend playoff etc. When I first made LHB the men's basketball team sucked, but later on in the early Tom Pender's years they were pretty good and entertaining at least. When LHB tryout results were posted there were lots of long faces with the directors coming up to the people that didn't make it encouraging them with some kind words and a "hey, you know you can always be in the basketball band". With the reversal of fortunes between football and basketball, some of my friends and I drunkenly mused once that there would tryouts for the basketball band and the directors would swoop in on the unsuccessful with a "hey, you can always join the LHB on the football side and see if that helps for next year's luck on getting in the basketball band." I guess you had to be there.
  21. At my parent's ranch in south Texas we have found some very large ones with main bodies in excess of 2" long. With the legs and everything they look huge an menacing. They have a nasty bite, so be careful if handling. My mom used to call them clothes eater when she was little as I think her family attributed the work of moth's to these guys, even though the wiki says they don't do that. Perhaps it's because they hung out in the cedar chests and dark closets where they stored their blankets and winter coats.
  22. Can confirm. My folks built a new house in that same quadrant in 1972. We were on a street whose back yards backed up to an open field with a dirt track around it. Our street was a new add on to the existing subdivision and my dad built several houses on it in the early 70's. I learned how to ride a bike on that track. The field had hundreds of horned frogs living in it and we kids would go and catch them, but them in an open box and observe them for hours, then let them go at the end of the day. I found many iron ore meteorite type of rocks in that field as well. The bluebonnets were also pretty spectacular there. We moved even farther north in 1975 out by what is Parmer/Burnet area. There was also another open field field that fronted 183 in that quadrant. Well it wasn't exactly open. The dump truck drivers would sometimes illegally dump their job fill there. Nothing hazardous, just a Hodgepodge of various road base, loam, scrappings, etc. The kids in the hood would fashion these leavings into little hills for doing jumps on our bikes. Then one day the dozers showed up and built Playland skating ring. The trees I do remember in all four quadrants of that intersection were Hackberries.
  23. Back in the early 90's I had a coworker who was literally married to the mob. His wife was the daughter of some low level wise guy. He said these guys would show up at family functions etc. and were kind of a joke. He said they had bad cologne, bad wardrobes, cheap watches, and shitty cars. My BIL has a lake cabin up in north central Wisconsin on a small lake. One of the older cabins up there was a mob hide out back in the day. I always make it a point to trespass and go fish off of their dock with a heavy lure that drags bottom, hey you never know. One of my fishing buddies who is in his late 70's used to work at a bowling alley owned by one of Al Capone's nephews. It was a mob deal, but my fishing buddy loved working there. The nephews name was "Bottles" Capone, on account of his thick eye glasses what that he wore on his mug. My grandfather on my mother's side was a bootlegger, but for personal, medicinal and sacramental purposes only.
  24. Seems like this thread has taken a turn toward the lateral side (tennis elbow) rather than the medial side (golfers elbow, why isn't it just called golf elbow?). I have dealt with medial epicondylitis (golf elbow) since January of this year. I got it in both elbows. I returned to rock climbing after knee surgery, so the loss of strength/tendon pliability from not climbing, weight gain from rehab/holidays, and being too aggressive upon my return did me in. At least on the medial side, rest is only recommended while there is pain in passive positions, which is treated with the usual over the counter stuff. Once you are pain free at rest, then you can begin t do the thera bar stuff along with other exercises prescribed. I was fortunate in that I only climber for a few weeks after the condition developed. Many climbers and golfers grind through this condition for months or even years, which ends up remodeling the tendons in a whacky state and takes longer to unwhack, as it were. Neverless, I think my condition ventured over into the tendonosis side rather than the tendonitis side, with tendonosis being a more chronic condition that simple rest will not heal on its own. I was able to cure the right elbow with an upper limb control class that I got online. The left side improved also but has remained stubbornly sore when activated. I finally started seeing a PT about 3 weeks ago to deal with this and a shoulder issue, both of which seem like low hanging fruit to cure. Right now we are doing some dry needling along with some exercises that I have not tried in the past. There has been some improvement. I recommend a an infrared heating pad to aid in healing and reducing pain.
