  1. I had family by marriage from New Mexico. This is very much on brand for the unique from any other state form of crazy that NM generates. I bet they "grew up hunting deer with knives" too. Yes, that's a direct quote said in absolute serious tone, by a grown ass adult to teenage boys.
  2. Oh man, the early 1990s were kind to Corn in that regard for sure. Hell, one might argue they created the blue print for MLB to follow in the late 1990s. And I am 100% certain THIS GUY didn’t take any pages from the 1980s OU playbook on bagmen.
  3. Yeah, that truly limited the out of state skill positions they would bring in and the massive funnel of OL that were essentially brought raised since PeeWee in the Corn system. Iirc, all residents of Nebraska used to be accepted to NU, grades and scores aside or maybe it was just the OL "walk ons". It's been a long time but I recall some absolute bullshit in that regard. Good SI article on it from 2023 1996 SI article that describes Tom crying about the end of Prop 48 Guess who he later blames
  4. I anticipate this game will be fairly similar to what we saw on both side in Texas v OSU. Hard to get a complete picture from either of their first games but I'm fairly confident the Michigan front 7 performs well against the OU OL and ultimately leads them to a 10-14 point win. Then again, I know shit about fuck.
  5. Ehh.. yes and no. It's Mack hedging the shit out of the situation so he looks good either way. Bill fails, "Well, I thought with all those resources he would be successful." (Poor little ME didn't have all that money) Or Bill is successful "Yeah, I never had all that money like Bill and I even thought he would be successful". (Poor little ME didn't have all that money) And it parlays to Texas and Sark cause if: Sark fails, "Well, I thought with all those resources he would be successful." (Poor little ME didn't have all that money) Or Sark is successful and wins an NC "Yeah, I never had all that money like Sark and I even thought he would be successful". (Poor little ME didn't have all that money) Fuck Mack Brown
  6. Sorry missed this prior to my response. But yeah and it helped it too as she had to get back to that work. Brilliant!
  7. Not at all! Eyeball Squid is an evil mother fucker and was HELPING TiLeeWorm by distracting the scientist so it could get out. She got careless and quickly put Eyeball Squid back without locking him in so he could do his tango escape. Bro was playing chess against a bunch of regards who struggled with checkers.
  8. Well shit, I stand corrected. Another example of my memory needing a new transmission.
  9. Eyeball Squid absolutely fucks. However, these sick mother fucking writers combined a god damn tick, leech and fluke worm to come up with the creepiest crawling, god damn monster that hits on every fucking one of my hard core twitch icks in the Vampire Tick-Leech-Worm. The Count TiLeeWorm of evil that I'm sure were tribal monsters of our ancestors. Fuck those writers!!! Also, yeah, that ship could have been a geology freighter with rocks and it was never making it home with all the god damn dysfunction. I feel ripped off I didn't get to see the conclusion of Squid Billy vs Xenomorph but otherwise what this show keeps on raising the stakes with each episode. Great shit.
  10. This, and then with a heavy heart and torn emotions leave for the money. Tragic.
  11. At the time all members of the B1G were AAU and Missouri was not. But but Nebraska, yeah, they were, basically Texas got them and kept them there. Year after they joined the B1G, they got kicked.
  12. I wouldn't wager on that one. It's got the stink of lost money no matter where you put your money.
  13. One could argue that Texas had a hand in ending a few head coach's reigns of terror in that period.
  14. He would have put it in the thumbnail if it were for pure clicks. The YT algorithm measures both clicks and duration of watch time, then engagement and likes. All play a part. He is not the only person making similar comments, there are a lot of them. Primarily, that we didnt see it last year. Again, I'm not claiming it's an injury. Neither is this podcaster. He along with others are bringing it up as a possibility. Outright dismissing it is as questionable as absolutely assuming it's the case. And... even perhaps its a combination of mental and physical. Watching the video with an open, but critical thinking mind is the best way to proceed.
  15. Be careful, that could end up blowing your mind into bolivian.
  16. I'm not an OC, but I am capable of looking at a formation and being aware of specific opponents abilities. It's fine to line up in the sneak, it's smart in fact. However, given OSU's abilities and front 7, the performance last game and this one prior to that point I would think some sort of audible, from that formation, into an outside run, with a big, very fast QB would be in the playbook. It wasn't, because it wasn't in the script and adjustments were not made in game to what the OSU defense was doing. Given OSU had a new DC, I find it, mind bottling that in game adjustments were not made. Hell, the play prior, with CJ, similar call, similar results.
  17. With that formation by OSU not having an audible outside left run is a fucking failure. It was 9 on 6. NINE on six. If this was the first time it happened and wasn't a recurring problem we wouldn't be discussing it either.
  18. Bootleg fake right rolls left with Baxter or Wisner with a feign engagement then a pitch option. I'll have to look closer but it appeared 7 guys were inside box or to the right. Am I obsessed with bootlegs? Yes, blame James Brown. Edit- So I went back and double checked. I was wrong. There were 8 guys inside the box or right.
  19. Sark's script has been photocopied and passed around. Everyone knows it. He doesn't take what the defense gives him, rather he crafts a narrative and attempts to shove it down the opponents throat. Works against shitty teams. When it doesn't work, the script doesn't shift, at all. The script continues on exactly as written and known by our opponents, because Sark is brilliant.
  20. So stop opening the threads. This is a very simple solve. But instead, what you choose is to rage respond thereby promoting this thread to the top of the forum sub. You, and people like you are exactly the reason so many rage baiting social media people are millionaires. So.. thanks for all you do.
  21. How many more examples do you need to acknowledge an issue? Acknowledging an issue is not the same as panic. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Refusing to look at mutliple data points that reconfirm an issue over and over again is a choice. People do it all the time because they, for whatever reason, don't want to acknowledge the reality of a situation. The internet and social media is largely comprised of simple platitudes about complex issues and dismissive responses to those who choose to discuss them and possible solutions. This occurs as it allows for their false narrative to remain true in their own minds.
  22. Someone already noted we aren't just talking about making the SEC game or playoffs, we're talking about winning the SEC championship and a national championship. There has been, so far, a consistent issue in 5 games now, against equal level talent teams in the RZ. Washington, Georgia 1 and 2, OSU 1 and 2 with 2 different QBs that were 5 stars and 1 of which was drafted to the NFL. It was also seen against lower level teams on occasion, like aggie so it isn't limited data against only top teams. The QBs were not the only offensive talent drafted and it was accompanied by some of the best defenses Texas has had in it's history. Further, this RZ issue and Sarks unwillingness to take what the defense will give him has been commented on at multiple stages by multiple media sources. To continue not to recognize it as an issue is either willful ignorance or lack of understanding fundamental aspects of offensive game planning.
  23. Yeah, there have been a shit of of great Ds that were paired with shitty Os. Granted EOY stats for the Ds weren't great because they get worn down, but they absolutely happen.
  24. And rubbing his shoulder. Multiple times during the game. Throwing side arm which is less painful if you have a shoulder injury. Leaning to his left when he did throw over hand long balls which is a reflex to... a shoulder injury. None of which we saw prior. Again, I'm not concluding he had an injury BUT there is historical precedent at Texas to hide severity of health issues with QBs and there are a lot of factors that indicate it's a possibility. It could be all mental. It could be a combination.
  25. No he didn't. In the second he had one long pass to Sweed for 30 yards but it was a short pass in the RZ that scored the only TD. Yes, a pass in the RZ. In all, Colt had fewer yards passing than Arch with a similar miss rate against what one could easily argue was a similar quality defense in OSU. However, games are longer now so direct comparisons are difficult. One variance that should be noted is Texas did have an RB named Jamaal Charles, not that Texas ran him enough.
