  1. Parents met at UT in the early-mid 60's. Dad is originally from Pennsylvania..he got his undergrad and played football at a small school up there. Ended up coming down to Austin for his Masters and eventually his PhD. Mom is from a small ass town in East Texas. After a stint at Tyler Junior college, where she was an Apache Belle...she finished up at UT in Austin. One of my mom's sisters, also a UT grad, had 3 daughters...all went to UT. I was always decked in burnt orange from the time I was a kid...never any doubt where I would end up. I was there mid 90's (James Brown>Ricky)
  2. Yeah...sure it CAN be loud. I've been there for a handful of some of the best crowds: UH-1990 Ricky's Run in 98 WVU- 2012 ND-2016 Those were all awesome. That should be the norm for Texas, not the exception. But, it is what it is.
  3. It's never been scary, and probably never will be a scary place to play. At least not because the fans are loud/raucous. Hell, if Rice score on their first drive, you'll be able to hear a mouse fart in that place.
  4. "Scares ya to death" I'm not going to argue...I don't see their D as being "good". At all. They're giving up 41/game and were beaten on the ground by Arky and through a balanced attack by UH. We'll see...I agree with you about the game plan. I think we cover by halftime, honestly.
  5. That was fucking retarded. I was flipping around and was like WTF?
  6. yeah..oops. Some reason mixed up Majors and Conner (Don't all white OLmen look alike)...and maybe remember hearing some decent things about Conner from practice reports.
  7. I would hope Karic and or Conner could get some time. They showed a little last year. Shame they weren't even given a chance against Ark, given what the fucking starters were doing out there.
  8. Don't let their first half against Arky fool you, Rice is bad. Like, bad bad. I know there is a lot of PTSD around here, but Texas should win convincingly. I'd take Texas -23 or whatever the line is.

    Hook 'em

    I'm in and I'm excited. I know it's Rice, but I think we come out and kick the shit out them....and Tech. And TCU, fuck it. 4-1 going into OU. I'll take it.
  10. What's with this Brian Boitano guy? If he's so great at skating, why doesn't he just play hockey, you know?
  11. I'm over the Arky loss. Redemption tour starts on Sat. Anxious to see what adjustments have been made.
  12. I can't imagine anyone watching that game Saturday and NOT agreeing with giving Casey a shot.
  13. Man, that is a dangerous question round these parts... What time does Scholz's open?
  14. Man...reading that right after watching the 60min special on the FDNY from that day. Oof. Its amazing to me to think of all the individual stories like that. My wife was there that day for work(this was before we met) ...they were in Soho, about 1-1.5 miles from WTC. Being on the ground there was a completely different experience than what most people watched unfold on national television. They met for breakfast at Balthazar and started to sense something was going on. She overheard some other patrons talking about a plane or plane crash. Everyone assumed it was a small Cessna type plane with some idiot behind the controls.
  15. 2 tackles, 1 for loss, 1 sack, 3 QB hits Kris Boyd- 3 tackles,2 solo Brandon Jones- 2 tackles Jordan Hicks- 4 tackles Charles Omenihu- 2 tackles, 1 QB hit Malcom Brown- 7 tackles, 4 solo Malcolm Brown- 5 car 16 yds
  16. Dickson- 5 punts, 4 inside the 20. avg. 37 yd. Long of 49 Diggs- 9 tackles, 7 solo P. Ford- 1 tackle, 1 QB hit
  17. Now let me preface this by saying the defense was not good....but they were set up to fail by the ineptness of the offense. 3 and out on your first 6 drives? That's gonna gas your D...which it did. Red Zone D was good...can you imagine this board had we not held them to FG's on those 2-3 possessions?

    Culture

    I've always thought of our fan "culture" as an issue and always hoped it wouldn't permeate to the players, but I suppose it has. The disturbing thing to me, that I see...or rather, don't see is an extreme lack of player leadership. Outside of Sam, who I think had "it"...who has been a real leader over the last decade plus of suckitude? Hell, who are the leaders of this team? Seems like it's a bunch of JAGs at every position.
  19. Was thinking about this topic this morning on my dog walk. I mean half this place thought we were going to lose to Louisiana-Lafayette. Surely they shouldn't be surprised we lost to an SEC team on the road, with a RSFr making his 1st road start. Did I think we were going to win last night? I did. Did I think we would get absolutely destroyed in every facet? I did not. I think/hope we can rally and go into OU at 4-1 Color me optimistic. I still have a little faith that we ca correct some of the issues. Obviously I think Casey is the guy going forward...I don't know how much of a barometer Rice or Tech will be...but we'll see. TCU on the road will be a make or break game.
  20. I know you guys had a blast, pounding drinks all day, but the fact that you could come to the conclusion that "Card wasn't bad", I have to wonder about either your eyesight or your mental acuity. While I agree, it wasn't all his fault...the OL was fucking terrible and he had a couple of drops from the WR. He was bad. Like Case bad. Like Swoopes bad.
  21. It's cool guys....I changed shirts. We would be all good for the 2nd half.
  22. Anyone else notice some number changes? Maybe I'm late to the party here.. Jett Bush was wearing 43 as opposed to his normal 52 Jacoby Jones wearing 3 as opposed to 36
  23. This. After thinking about it though, I'm pretty sure that was the plan. Sweat and Coburn etc were getting doubled ( to help their undersized center) and it freed up our LB's to make plays. Brockermeyer and Overshown played well. Sacks by Bush, Oghuofo, Thornton and Brock/Overshown I also saw that undersized center plow some of our DL, so I don't know how much help he needed. He flattened Byron Murphy on 1 memorable play.
