Hah! Missed that. But I mean, really, should we put that much weight on head to head match ups when determining who is a better team.

I'm here for the Graham insight and knowledge. I mean it.. I excited to ready his fan fiction this week. I do, actually, look forward to it.

Absolutely agree. We definitely have a strong market of Chicken Littles in the UT fan base. Won't lie, I have been know to flock with those on occasion myself.

Hah.. yeah.. fucking AP idiots.

Going by resume I think AP goes: 1) Texas 2) tOSU 3) Bama 4) Tenn 5) GA Northeastern voters always seem, historically, to over value the B1G. With the Texas victory over Michigan who is otherwise undefeated, I think that keeps us a 1. I could see tOSU at 3 and Bama at 2. My instinct says Texas stays at 1... but hell, I don't really know and honestly it doesn't matter. Win out and we'll be #1 at the end of the regular season.

Ftfy Texas absolutely has a lot of idiots in the stands and on message boards. We don't stand out, based on my personal experience, as particularly worse than most. Further, we definitely are not as dumb as some. Hell, anyone get a 30-40 year olds, jersey wearing, fight caught on video yesterday? Anyone get their cars damaged? Anyone get directions to the stadium from a super kind and helpful fan? No? Well...

Well, in the bigger picture I see the upside of riding the lines on both sides of the ball and hammering WRs for the staff prior to ousux. Players got a taste of a team that stepped on the field wanting it more than we/they did, and ousux, pig and aggie are all going to be more amped than MSU was in that game. I see it as an well timed teaching moment, that gratefully came against a team as weak as MSU. For the record, I think Kentucky is a substantially better team than ousux, aggie and pig. They definitely play the best defense out of those 4. Heck, they may play better D than Georgia... maybe.

Some other folks already pointed out the aspects of not being in rhythm offensively, making it a 2 score game which in turn puts pressure back on MSU and other factors. Taking points off the board is rarely a good choice. My bigger problem is exactly what you noted. Sark sometimes has what I consider to be a bit of an issue is adjusting his plan or script to in game realities. We as fans recognized the items above about rhythm and pressure. Sark admitted to his mistake. Why, in game time, didn't he recognize that the slight momentum tilt that keeping the 3 on the board would give Texas? Had it been say, 4th and 2... maybe. 4th and 4 is a bit of a different story. Because he had already decided to go for it, he couldn't come off that when offered the chance. THAT is what concerns me. Adaptation to what's happening real time. Our Oline was getting hammered, our WRs weren't playing great, and Arch was a tad off. We all saw it. Why didn't Sark see it and keep the points? This is just one example but it makes me nervous as this isn't the first time he's stuck with a game plan (big or 1 play) that he probably should have altered for a variety of reason, but didn't.

Good post.

Baylor is terrible, so I'll allow your comments.

Well you can in some states. Oregon specifically allows for assisted suicide and you don't have to be from the state, just a US citizen, as i understand the Oregon law. I'm sure Surly lawyers will tell me why I am wrong. Oregon Assisted Suicide Law

Ever actually seen a dumpster fire? I mean a real, literal dumpster on fire. I have, set it myself by drunk mishap. Was I worried my complex would burn down. Yes. Was I worried there might be a financial price to pay in the form of a fine or being homeless. Yes. Was I sad when the firemen put it out. Yes.

Since when did the actual business model or deliverables actually matter? Not sure MIA has picked the right CEO, which means you got the job.

People who slow down NEXT to a semi in heavy rain rather than pass it because "they can't see". At least that's my best guess. Maybe they just like making themselves and the 10 cars behind them blinded by the semi's "waves".

I don't like Telenovelas. I turn them on. Spurier was a character. Bowden was a character. Leach was a character. Deion is a grifter pos, and so are his children. There are lots of grifters and pos on Telenovelas. My Spanish is passable at best. The hot women and over the top acting get my attention so I leave them on it if I come across them. I don't like them, I don't like Deion. He's grifter. He probably has a lot of smoking women in the backrooms. I'd be okay with televising this aspect too. I'm leaving the show on until it's conclusion, sans hot women because I'm entertained.

Unless there is serious backroom embezzling going on, no book is going to get within a mile of a fix. Not only could any existing funds get seized but all future fund would cease to exist, potential jail time and even if it turned out to be false... your brand is a scat and petrol fueled dumpster of fire.

You should monetize this idea.

I'm not worthy amigo and can tell you in no uncertain terms my team loyalty and sadness over a loss ends immediately with an actual real opportunity to have sex with Natalie Portman. Cause... that could happen

My key take away from this thread, like some other folks.. I'm just really glad Texas NIL appears to have it's shit together and players seem well on page with whatever plan was created.

Won't lie.. love my Horns a lot. But if Natalie showed up at my door to watch the game, I'd be okay consoling her sadness after a loss. I'm generous like that and willing to put my woman first.

Texas Exes UK apparently there is a Facebook group too Apparently where the game watch will be held

Naw man, that's were god sends me messages like a pen pal. I can't make it up this shit man.

It reminds me a lot of Raylan Givens and Boyd Crowder. Which.. I still love more but Oldman and Thomas nail those scenes for sure.

Wifey has be on that fucking list.

Genuine Answer: they shouldn't. But a relatively easy fix... which will never happen, because clicks... No preseason coaches or AP poll. First poll released for the first time after the 1st or second weekend of Oct. That removes a shit ton of "FSU" and "ND" are great and the tons of bullshit speculation about this ranked team beat so and so... Based on zero on field performances. Preseason polls is and has been the biggest piece of bullshit forever. It's also why blue bloods have always started the season, regardless of talent and ability, in a FAR, FAR better position than also rans. But.... the old system was perfect and now it's going to shit. - some romantic bullshit notion based on revisionist history.
