  1. Yesterday, Sark gave McAfee a Muscle T-Shirt w/ "FAFO" on the front and a smack Longhorn on the back. McAfee looked at the the shirt, some bewildered, "Fast as Fuck?" Sark, with the staff laughing in the background, and I'm paraphrasing... "that's are mantra, that's who we are"
  2. I’m doing something I hate that others do… I ain’t reading all this bullshit. I expect Saturday night to be as special as any game in our proud history. Biggest sports night in Austin, ever. The perfect setting. Home in Austin, Texas, baby! We have been through so much, for so long, and we have come so far. Texas is a team and organization that has earned the respect of others, with the full commitment and support of so many. Sark, and the young men who choose to honor us, as they represent us, will deliver, and we will take the place we were destined to be. Hook ‘em!!!
  3. My feelings exactly. I would have Tonya Harding'd his ass if something like that existed back then. I've looked for that video many times in the past, never found it until this week. The TV replay was brutal to watch, 100% intent to injure a player, probably for life. The Theisman injury was an unfortunate injury during a normal (violent) football game. Pat Thomas is a POS and he deserves to rot in hell.
  4. Pate pushes AcademyA&M, but he has been behind Texas since at least last year. He has an agenda he needs to push, but he has a pretty good depth of understanding about what Texas brings to the table.
  5. Sark said he reached out to PK, because PK gave Sark's offense fits. Not a comfort hire from the good ole boys club, but someone he didn't know other than as as opponent. That showed an awareness that is unconventional in coaching circles. If that isn't enough, Sark is letting man do his job, and the defense rebuild was much more challenging than the offense.
  6. Cross posted from: Sub-Educated Cretins: The SEC screenshot mega-thread thread. My dislike for A&M is eternal. The best running back in the history of my HS choose not to go to Texas, for a very good reason. He went to A&M, and we were lifelong friends, until his passing. May he RIP. Ironically, the reason he didn't go to Texas is similar to the reason for my post. 1975 was #2 A&M v. #5 Texas, in College Station. Marty Akins (Texas QB) was coming off a knee injury from 2 week prior. On Texas's first play, Pat Thomas (A&M DB) came in like a missile and put his helmet directly on Akins' knee, taking him out of the game. Game over. This is an old post from Hornsfans: hamhorn Nov 5, 2009 "FireRC, there' no history of the Aggies intentionally trying to injure Texas players? Ask those of us who watched Jackie Williams take a dirty shot to Roosevelt Leaks' knee, putting him on the ground and out of the game during the 1973 game at Kyle Field. He said in the dressing room afterward "God help me for doing that. I was just so fired up". Two years later, I was sitting on my Aggie father-in-law's 40 yard line seats when early in the game Pat Thomas took Marty Akins out with a cheap shot. All the Aggies sitting around me stood up and cheered. Please don't come over here with descriptions of your people as being good sports. Whatever y'all can do to beat "t.u." is considered "good bull", from selling your souls to hire Jackie Sherrill to desecrating Memorial Stadium ( a stadium dedicated to all Texas war dead, including Aggies). It's not for nothing that we call y'all dirty cheaters." Aggy personified is at 35:08 of the video. For damn near 50 years, I have never apologized for my beliefs towards A&M, and I'm not sure what might ever change that. I'm asking if one of you sleuths can make a video or screen grab, of find something in the archives, to memorialize it and to provide others one more data point validating the history and depth of Aggy transgressions. Thanks in advance.

  8. Tomatillo? Tomatillo, where are you? Tomatillo, are you gone? Sark's offense is built on numbers and mismatches, getting guys in space, and hitting them, which we have had plenty of in every game. Even with dropped TD passes, poor throws and untimely/questionable penalties, we have scored with ease. All that means is we might have a few faster guys trying to catch up, while we have the ball and are running away. They may reduce the YAC, but I don't see them stopping the passes. I watched some of Ikard & Lehman (OU honks) last night; They commented that OU's defense seemed lost, looking at the sideline for signals and getting aligned while Texas was snapping the ball. I expect Georgia to have similar issues, trying to figure out what we're doing, oh, shit!, they snapped the ball, and off to the races. Well said, Wulaw. I was going to further elaborate for Tomatillo, but ... I see Georgia's off the field antics bleeding into their on the field performance, which has been somewhat inconsistent in every game they've played. Seeing Kirby's antics looks like a coach on the edge trying to keep the ball from unraveling, not a guy gently nudging the steering wheel. We know Texas is good this year, we just don't know how good. I do know we have a great scheme on offense and explosive play makers at every position, and an OL that knows that it all starts with them. As good as our offensive numbers are, they could and should have been considerably better. I thought I read that Georgia had 2 injured OL that are coming back this week, and some had been critical of how poorly they have looked. I expect them to better than OU, but not like what they have had in the past. I think it almost comical the constant SEC refrain that Texas has never been in a high stakes game or played in a hostile environment before. The new end zone keeps more of the sound in than before. The Alabama game was very loud, and hot as hell. The atmosphere at DKR in 1977, after beating OU for the first time in 6 years, Texas rising to #1, with Earl playing for a Heisman was electric. I expect Texas v. Georgia at DKR on a Saturday night to be as loud as its ever been. I think it almost comical the constant SEC refrain that Texas has never been in a high stakes game or played in a hostile environment before. Texas has ended commendable home winning streaks of Michigan, Alabama, USC, Ohio State, & Nebraska, and has scoreboard on all of them, as well as Oklahoma & Notre Dame. We're Texas! One Riot, One Ranger. Its out time to lead from the front, again. DKR has been so loud you couldn't talk to the people next to you, many times. Its hard to compare being in the middle of the student section v. being in the end zone or upped deck. Miss State had back to back delay-of-game penalties. That is plenty loud enough. In 1974 against Arkansas, freshman Earl Campbell, after scoring on a 68 yard run, blocked a punt that Doug English returned for a TD. That was probably the loudest thing I'd ever heard that wan't connected to a jet engine. Ricky's record run against A&M was like slowing cranking a bank of 100 W Marshalls from zero to 11, with the crescendo sustained at the end for who know's how long, making your ears and head, and eventually, your throat hurt. I'm looking forward to some similar experiences Saturday night.
  9. Another video from the original thread: Initially, you can here the woosh sound of of high pressure gas leaking and igniting with a distinct column of fire. Than the woosh sound quickly changes as the tank ruptures, and the rapidly expanding vapor cloud ignites into a catastrophic explosion. BLEVE - or Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion, is a catastrophic explosion that occurs when a pressurized vessel containing a liquid at a temperature higher than its boiling point ruptures. The rapid depressurization of the liquid (tank rupturing) causes it to instantly transition into vapor, releasing a large amount of energy. I've posted previously that they usually find the photographer's camera and the body nearby. Based on the google earth picture, the large tank rolling towards the camera did not rupture, though it is leaking from the relief valve and there is a small plume emanating from the tank. The tank that ruptured appeared to be one of the smaller tanks, ~ 500-1,000 gallons. The tank rolling and tumbling towards the camera looks to be ~ 40-50,000 gallon capacity. Good thing the bigger one didn't rupture. Edit: Holy Fuck!!! I didn't see the 2nd video til I posted. The tank rolling along the ground in the first video's is seen airborne in the last video.
  10. Appreciate the updates on Cook. I didn't remember seeing him Saturday. I agree on dropping a TD in a conference game. That sends you to the back of the list. Silas Bolden made a great block, before he recovered the fumble for a TD. He's been putting in the work.
  11. Just curious which word you didn't understand?
  12. PTINS

    QUINTREVION

    Screenshot for eternity.
  13. FIFY. Pre-First. He is the smallest guy on the field, and makes the block that opens the hole, and then ... he personifies "turning on the jets."
  14. There is a single planetary light in the sky right now (not the moon). I know your supposed to need a telescope, but go look now, 7:33 Austin time.
  15. Georgia can’t beat Texas, only Texas can beat Texas. Yesterday was the perfect game in some ways, we knocked OU’s dick in the dirt and won convincingly, while leaving room for improvement almost everywhere. Everybody knows they let their teammates down at times and will work hard this week towards correcting that. I had 2 issues w/ the play calling. Really, only 1. The fade on 4th down was a low percentage pass that didn’t work. I didn’t know Bond was hurt until last night. Ewers and Bond on a timing play is better than Ewers and Wingo. Sark gets a pass. After watching OU for 50 years, those MF’s, good or bad, can always run. They always have team speed. Calling running plays w/ the RB running parallel to the line of scrimmage, 5 yards behind the line doesn’t work against OU. Starting 2nd & 13 is not the best way to make a living. I get that showing something early to set them up later is a consideration, but I recall 3 plays you could see it developing, slowly, and resulted in negative yards. Kudos to Sark & PK for recruiting speed all over the field. Not many teams look faster than OU, but Tre, Wingo and Bolden clearly were. Me likely.
  16. Yet another story of an under rated guy playing behind a star, continuing to put in the work, DEVELOPING, and delivering at the highest level when he gets his chance. Gunnar get a new job working on Sundays. Mr. photographer, you have one job.
  17. And just like that Silas Bolden is memorialized among the greats in the history of Texas-OU. He makes a key block on the edge to create the gap for Tre, follows the play, and uses his speed to recover a fumble and score a TD. Silas capped a play that had two 180 degree emotional swings in 2 seconds. Great day for that young man!!!
  18. Texas has scoreboard on all of the Blue Bloods of College Football. The average score is 33-18 Texas.
  19. I wore my Stone's '75 t-shirt yesterday. (Yes, Hofheinz Pavillon, U of H campus) Today, one of my Springsteen shirts. Trying to decide who picked up the check, I offered, "..well, the less I do the more money I make." The blank stares I got back... I picked up the check. Does that count as talent or swagger or both? Maybe. Who the fuck where's a Styx shirt?
  20. The game film that Chase Daniel broke down, he noted the QB (QE?) making his pre-snap reads, bending over to hear the helmet coms, looking again, motion, snap, read & execute. I think having the eye in the sky comms helps the QB confirm which guy he needs to read, and make a decision based on what he does. Knowing Bond and/or a RB/TE has a 75+% chance of one-on-one pre-snap is a great position to be in. Whatever the DC is whispering to the defense is secondary to the guy holding the ball. Texas going to have a good day Saturday.
  21. Watched this last night. 100% must see. Jeremy Hills, Rod Babers, Fozzy Whitaker, Derrick Johnson, Alex Okafor. (I saw Jeremy & Fozzy play in HS, as Texas commits). Key is handling emotional swings. What makes this game unique? Jeremy Hills at the 8:30 mark, "Standing in the tunnel together, see guys you played with and against, in high school and in youth football. "I know you... you're not like that ...I've been knowing you since we were 10 ... l know your mom ... it's personal..." Key is handling emotional swings.
  22. Just an observation... A corollary to dirty side/clean side of the storm; Tampa and the west coast of Florida faces west, Biloxi-Lake Charles-Houston faces south. If you rotate the map ~ 90 °. you get this. From this perspective, even with Milton making landfall towards Sarasota, it seems like the counter-clockwise rotation is still going to push a lot of water into Tampa Bay, especially with the way Tampa Bay makes a hook (true north, towards the left of the rotated picture). Water is smart, it will find the lowest elevation. I know, ... like arranging deck chairs on the Titanic, ... Florida is gonna get smacked.
  23. Mack didn't want to play freshman, without knowing or caring this game is littered with freshmen making big plays. A lot/most risky plays and gambles seem to work for whoever tries them. Some spectacular failures, yes, but being ballsy is rewarded. Wingo & Simmons gonna feast.
  24. I watched this last night, well worth the time. Film breakdown of 4 RPO plays, and the QB pre-snap reads. To be clear, last year after the Alabama game, they opened the show with, "We are stupid, stupid, idiots..." This video, without saying the obvious, they know the Texas offense is scary good. Sark's play design... maybe the best in CFB, the Texas RPO is the triple option. If they can't stop this, game over. To stop this, their LB and DB will have to make one-on-one tackles is space, and Teddy was ragging on their LB's. Bond is fast, fast, fast. Marvel at the WR blocking. Think Jake Majors is great. Lost weight, moving quicker; acknowledged how much his injury hurt Texas last year. "If we don't do this ... and this ... and this,...it could be a long day Saturday."
