  1. Sounds like a lot of fun but... not sure why I'd fly into Austin to drive to Dallas. We all know I suffer the regards but, and I'm just spitballing, it seems like flying into Dallas might be a better plan.
  2. I tried really hard and wanted to like it. I thought the plot line in broad strokes was really good. Acting was really good. However, for reasons I honestly can't put an exact finger on something about it just lost my attention. The mom "issue" was I think where I started to lose interest.
  3. Hmmm I really dug Dope Thief. Thought the ending was a tad predictable but the acting performances and broad story line were great, IMO.
  4. Please feel free to hammer me if I'm supporting the patriarchy, but of late it seems more and more of the extreme nutty stories are primarily female. Honestly, am I off on that perception or is it accurate?
  5. Why not take your jeep? Seems like it would be more enjoyable. That's legitimately pretty damn funny.
  6. Draft results as a form of prognostication don't agree. Quinn's long ball passing and health are his #1 and #2 issues. It's the the health concerns that I fear will be Quinn's biggest issue in the NFL. Quinn 7th round - Pick 231 Sam 6th round - Pick 213
  7. "We liked it when we just sucked and big brother wasn't kicking in our dicks while sucking." You were shit the whole time, you just didn't have your life long measuring stick to hold up your tiny dicks against. Reality is a bitch.
  8. Go back and read his post and the posts of many, many others. You're categorically and undeniably incorrect. I am in no way exaggerating and to say I am means you were not reading his posts, the posts of other and are simply misrememebring. I can go pull a shit ton of them if you insist.
  9. Thatguy spent pages and pages and pages on it. Did you put him on ignore? Hell, on this page someone was just blaming Bond for a lot of our losses. You can't be this myopic.
  10. Agreed, but had he gone as Mr Irrelevant it would have been.. immaculate conception level epic. But... second drafted at Cleveland is a pretty fucking epic fail. I'm satisfied.
  11. What defines the word white and what if you didn't vote in Texas? If your skin is actually alabaster and parents are from Spain are you actually white or tan? How do you define personal in the word personal freedoms? Is the word Republicans as in the Republic? Is there really anyone who is an actual Republican? It used to be the progressive party you know? How do you define Republican today? -chainsaw logic
  12. More platitudes and ironic "let the thread die" posts, without acknowledging the realities. Hint, the second part is why it wont.
  13. Quinn threw a pick 6 in the RZ in the cotton bowl and fumbled close to the RZ in Atlanta. How the fuck are those losses on Bond? This is exactly what I said early, never holding Quinn accountable.
  14. Gonna be blunt, don't know or care what idiots on Twitter were posting about college football or recruiting in 2021 and I'm not really sure why it's relevant. Also, doesn't answer the question about who took issue with Quinn attending the University of Texas.
  15. Quinn Draft Pick # 231 7th round Sam Draft pick # 213 6th Round
  16. I don't recall a single instance at any point of anyone on this thread or anywhere ever expressing any issue with Quinn coming to Texas or going to school here. Also, don't remember anyone here bitching or posting negative stuff about him getting out of school early for millions. Please, enlighten me to all these posts here as I'm extremely curious. Otherwise, this a fancy platitude like the many others expressing gratitude for his time at Texas while refusing to acknowledge the truth about his performance. There will be more in the near future, I'm sure.
  17. When people start listening and understanding I'll stop repeating.
  18. I agree with this entirely and will add something two aspects. At the most pivotal moments of his career, he failed spectacularly. In the business world if you do very good work 90% of the time, maybe even great work, and at the pivotal moments in your business fall flat on your face, the other 90% is forgotten. You failed the big moments, thats not great for your career nor image particularly if you're the primary contact leading the enterprise. You'll be remembered for your failures not the rest of the 90%. In fairness, if there were signs that you would fail, multiple, and the CEO didn't put someone else in charge, a big part of it is on him too. As for those who think fans here want him to fail in the NFL, you aren't reading the room. We are pointing out that the most critical assessors of Quinn's abilities side with OUR view rather that the raw raw Orange Glasses opinion that so many here have and continue to illustrate. I won't speak for them all, but for myself, I WANTED to be wrong all along. I WANTED Quinn to lead us to a national championship, hell I bought tickets and had a room for the game. I'm in the minority here that actually attended the SEC championship game. I hoped Quinn and Sark would prove me wrong, but I was pretty damn sure my hope was misplaced and it turns out I was right. I am pretty confident no Longhorn fan here actually wanted Quinn to fail. I don't know many fans that would rather be right and not see their team win a championship than be wrong and see it happen. I don't think any fans here wanted Quinn to drop in the draft as it ultimately is a net negative for Texas Athletics. We weren't cheering that he was drafted late. What we were cheering was the validation of a very long period of being shit on in this very forum for expressing concerns and issues regarding Quinns capabilities. Of being told over and over that Quinn was great, had no flaws and none of the failure fell to Quinn, rather time and time again nearly or completely by some that 100% of the blame for those failures were placed on his teammates. Never holding Quinn accountable. And now, because we are grateful for that validation we are "hoping Quinn fails in the NFL, are ungrateful for what Quinn provided, told how dumb this thread is and that it should die", and that in essence we hate Quinn and any success he brought to Texas Athletics. I don't, I dont think most posters here feel that way. What we (or at least I) wanted was the validation of the concerns and issues we saw all season post Michigan. Over and over and over again. For which we were called haters, stupid and bad fans. That's an extremely reasonable and rational desire. For the record, I hope Quinn does amazing in the NFL, I would have like to have been wrong and seen him go higher in the draft, would have liked to have been wrong and have another NC trophy. But I unfortunately I doubt he will, didn't and we don't.
  19. I just really hope Cleveland is one of the places he refused to interview and based on historical comments from Deion along with Cleveland QB history it seems likely. That, quite possibly, SS was drafted SECOND by a team that he refused to interview with is... so. Fucking. Delicious. I posted this in anonymity so its morally questionable, but for the record I've said it in person to a good number of people I know. I'll put in on my YouTube channel this week.
  20. Kevmiller isn't gonna be at Texags much longer, way too logical and honest. "Texas schedule is shit" *even though they managed to squeak out a win in the hardest stadium in the world. They got an easy SEC schedule even though there are no easy SEC schedules. *please don't bring up march.
  21. At some point you just have to look at the cultist insanity, shake your head, maybe laugh and move on. The why of a cult and its behaviors is a rabbit hole rarely worth investing in as the answer is usually the same. It's the nature of the cult.
  22. Well, it's a moral question worthy of discussion not just for the specifics of the situation but for the grander aspects of it's implications. Dismissing it to only respond is a lot like "this thread is stupid and you all should stop posting in it". You protect yourself from a bunch of internet poster with anonymity for your opinions, yet claim a moral high ground for a person doing the same. Further irony. You say you rail against institutions yet never rail against individuals, does that hold true in your political, business and sports discourse on Surly? Have you posted anything negative about any individual people here on Surly in anonymity in the business, sports or political arena? I really don't know the answer but if you have, that's pretty hypocritical. I'm not claiming the person did so altruistically, and my post made that pretty clear, but I'll state it here again in case it wasn't. It appears your answer is you would say nothing and let the propaganda machine of Deion continue, but your response was ambiguous, imo, so I'm not even sure about that conclusion.
  23. I know this has already been discussed but there are some aspects that people have pointed out and others that have not been noted. First, Shadeur is a 23 year old millionaire, not a "college kid". Second, as for doing so anonymously, Deion has consistently and repeatedly attacked, on every platform available, any negative word said about him or any of his kids or methods. More times than not he does so with the race baiting methods. Beyond that, like it or not, Deion has become a massive influencer that effects perceptions of the broader media massively. Whether that influence is direct capitulation to Deion's "cause" or his and his children's "Amazing Ability" or more of a Mandela effect, its clear by all the predictions and hell, I saw it right here by posters that claimed Shadeur was amazing. Deion's influence can and I'm sure has ended careers unfairly and unjustly. Now, keeping effective massive Deion Grift Propaganda machine in mind, let's put on the shoes of an NFL team front office guy. You and your team are already aware that this arrogant, rich, teammates bus tossing, no accountability, janitor assaulting, under talented POS has actively said he would not play for and refused to interview with teams. However, your team is one of the "lucky" ones and Shadeur agrees to interview. He comes in and is a complete diva star, disrespectful and insulting. He's interviewing for a job on YOUR team/company and acts like YOU and the team are lucky he showed up and would be blessed to have him. Based on the fact you know he sucks as a QB and teammate, you suffer through his bullshit and he goes on to the next NFL team office to do the same. Perhaps you call your friend that works for the other franchise and laugh or perhaps his entitlement bullshit and the now 3 years worth of media propaganda around Deion and his grifting father piss you off. So, I'll ask you directly @aggie08(and anyone else taking an arrogant 23 year old asshole millionaires side) how do you feel about tyrannical leaders/grifters, their minions/children and their on going never stopping propaganda machine that serves only to feed their grift? I know it's hard to imagine such a grifter/propaganda machine asshole outside of college football/NFL but just try and use your imagination. If you knew the cost of speaking out against one was absolutely going to put you in the headlines as a racist (I know irony right) and it would 100% end your career given the power of that grifter/leader would you? Would you be willing to throw away your, perhaps decades worth of work, and career to voice your frustration? End your career and likely need to start from the ground up? Would you instead, like all others in the process simply remain silent and let the leader/grifter and his minion continue their steam roll? Or would you perhaps speak anonymously to a reporter to vent your frustrations and make others/media aware of the reasons (of which there are many) that SS fell so low in the draft so that the race baiting propaganda narrative of Deion the grifter is a little more tarnished? Which path would you choose? I'm not saying there is a right or wrong answer, but imo 1 is ethically bad, and 2 ethically and morally a better path. So it comes down to what would you being willing to sacrifice? Career or your morals and ethics.
  24. Everyone clap or your families are dead in 3... 2....
