  1. Happened when wife and I were newly married. Friend of hers was dating Danny from the Ticket. Wife got the call late at night that one of Danny's friends had been killed. Forget the band he was in, but he was a tall guy and on some type of addiction meds. Meds he mixed with alcohol. Went into a delirious state, started attacking his girlfriend who managed to get him out of the house. He's all amped up and goes to the neighbors house by mistake. Banging on the door, screaming, probably lots of expletives including threats of violence. Neighbor fires a "warning shot" through the door. Aimed high. Didn't account for the fact that this guy was 6'5+. Right in the forehead.... Tragic ending by an idiot homeowner and an idiot on drugs. Made the DFW news, etc. Castle doctrine states you "can" protect your house, etc....but jesus man, just call the cops, hopefully you have an amped up dog, and just sit back in an secure location, watch the door, and wait. Until your house is breached, you are still ok.
  2. Sure, but we can blow up Oklahoma first...
  3. Da da..da...da, da.....that fucking gross
  4. Yep. Had he made the limited number of open/available throws he had, it's a different game.
  5. Yeah, I'm not messing with that ball of wax.
  6. Weatherby Execs - do we have too many caliber options? CM - hold my beer.....;)
  7. That's been China's MO for decades now. This isn't new. Across every industry. Remember Feinsten's staffer was spying for China? You have significant allegations from across Europe and SE. Asia of similar activities. The CCP "is" China's business. You do business with China, you're doing business with the CCP. It's that clear. And they take what they want.
  8. Hadn't see this. Both starts against a top 10 team: Arch 17-30, 179yds, 1 TD, 0 INT Peyton (vs 'Bama) 10-18, 138 yds, 0 TD, 2 INTs
  9. By that notion every team with a great defense should have great offensive production as well. The problem is that you see them every day. You know them. You know what they are trying to do, their schemes, tendencies, etc. Going to face the #1 team in their house is a different beast.
  10. That's the crux. The speed of the game and the ability to process information quickly and accurately.
  11. I generally like RC and listen to his Pivot podcast when I can. I also think he's trying to be too much to generate "hot takes" and stir people up.. Wait and see takes don't generate clicks.
  12. Not the best analogy, but I've been to a few IPSC events in my day. Specifically the handgun/timer events. If you want to see someone melt into a puddle. Give them a difficult task under time. I've seen guys that looked as clean and smooth as I've ever seen, immediately become discombobulated and lose all coordination. Their prior skill went right out the window. Even seen guys unable to holster after firing. That timer just wrecks people. Or hunters, we all know about "Buck fever". Your hands start shaking. You can't focus, aim, or do much else. Adrenaline is a bitch. The point being all "mechanics" go out the window in the face of immense pressure. It takes time and exposure to control in. You can't simulate it. You just have to inculcate yourself as best you can. 2005 Vince went into the horseshoe and pulled it off. 2003 Vince, I highly doubt it. I'm not about to give up on Arch, but Sark needs to make the proper adjustments to put him in the right place with the right plays. And get a fucking O-Coordinator already.
  13. So what you're saying is.....
  14. Got it. 19/32. One TD. One INT. TOP and 3rd down conversions as well as yardage eerily similar. Yds per pass quite different.
  15. I am admittedly too lazy to do this, but Colt's first career start with Texas was also vs tOSU at home. I was there and remember being sorely underwhelmed as Colt looked like you'd expect a RS freshmen to look like in the loss. Hi stat's and film (most importantly) must be out there to compare with
  16. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. It was a Herculean task to go in untested, as the #1 team in the country, facing the reigning champions at their house for the first game of the season. if this shit doesn't get fixed, them I'm going to flip out and start breaking shit.
  17. To me, that screams nerves. Just trying to get the ball out as quickly as he can in the face of a collapsing pocket. So, maybe.....get him out of the pocket and buy him some time....
  18. BEST case scenario is the inexperienced QB they have is going to make similar mistakes. He can run. We all saw that. He's tough. But can defenses exploit him. I think they can. It's LSU, who seems the clear favorite in the SEC right now, that scares me.....assuming Texas can even make the championship game or playoffs.
  19. This is why we saw so many leads evaporate over the course of the games last year. Texas jumped our early, ran the same shit, and good coordinators adjusted and teams clawed their way back into games. Texas just had faster horses and pulled most of them out at the end. Shit doesn't work with an inexperienced QB. Nor will beating up powderpuff teams. The same thing over and over works. It's when it doesn't that Sark has no answer for.
  20. "Let her rip" early seems an obvious tactic to help Arch stay loose and calm. Play your game. Be you. Etc. Problem is, when it didn't work and Arch was clearly frazzled, the adjustments were minimal and largely ineffective.
