  1. It is absolutely aggie to hedge all bets regarding Texas. Michigan was going to crush us/is so weak now was the chant last year. Of course, given zero originality or unique thought an easy rinse repeat is on the table for another top 10 matchup where Texas is involved.
  2. That's pretty disappointing coming from Klatt. I would expect that from Stephen A Smith or Skip Bayless but like you said, Klatt is better than this take.
  3. Bumping this as the new trailer is out. I like this series for silly fun. New/final season takes on AI.
  4. Amusingly, by that point I was near a decade past the moment I knew the Cowboys long-term fate. The clock started the day Switzer was hired. At that point, having grown up a Dallas fan I was on the path to eschewing the NFL all together. Had FYJF actually leaned into VY or Houston drafted him and done the same, I might well be a Houston or Nashville supporter today.
  5. Agreed, but I questioned then, as I continue to still, the degree those injuries were the cause of Ewers' issues vs mental and technical ones.
  6. Taco salad would of course be Elk's entrée to his Wedge Xtra bacon Xtra dressing in his "Keto" diet phase.
  7. I posted long ago that I didn't agree with Sark's choice, but understood it post Georgia 1. He's the QB whisperer. If he didn’t stick with his word of Ewers is our starter he would have gone back on that word and his commitment. Not to mention failing as the QB whisperer. @SL Xpress described it in far more detail but..
  8. I bet The Elk would murder a wedge with extra bacon and dressing.
  9. I just added the Cowboys, Raiders, and JaMarcus. If that ain't enough toxicity for you, seek help.
  10. I dunno man, Raiders took JaMarcus Russell as the #1 pick and there weren't any other QBs in the top 20, though there were 2 Longhorns at 19 and 20. May have been an out of the frying pan sort of situation. But it was a shitty year for QBs. Cowboys took Isaiah Stanback from Washington in the 4th. Don't remember him? Yeah, neither do I.
  11. What I personally hope for, which will absolutely dial this thread to 11, is Arch winning a National Championship.
  12. Thought it was more Jay-dun which is pretty close to Jay-din with an emphasis on Jay instead of din/dun. Its critical we get this right.
  13. Aggie doesn't lose, just runs out of time. Cult propaganda out front should have told ya. Also I know you and @notre dame joe are both petrified of the onslaught coming for you in South Bend. TD Jesus can't save you!!! - an old army idgit definitely
  14. Well man, I'm glad you said it first but it needed to be said that 100% of Texas failures since 2005 have absolutely been on the shoulders of VY. You see VY simply set way too high a bar for Texas athletics and in particular the QB position. Had VY not performed to the level he did, Colt getting us to the national championship would have sufficed. Ewers making the playoffs twice would have made us happy. If VY had just dialed back his abilities, stuck to the GDGD script, played afraid like his HC told him and not gone out and beat every team, this thread would be nothing but compliments of Ewers. Now look at us. We all want to compete for and win the NC every damn year. Thanks a lot VY. I know this will be an unpopular take and I commend you for being the first to bring it up.
  15. Nope. Knew a bit of the broad story line but never read them. Why?
  16. I joined late but so far, I've enjoyed season 3 the most. Probably cause there isn't a lot of Gaal and it feels like it's moving more plot lines much faster. Unlike many here I liked Salvor but it was probably just because she was a foil to Gaal. However, the Gaal Salvor line was a god damn beating.
  17. Aggie doesn't top this list. I'm gonna have to see these receipts cause....
  18. Clearly tu rigged the playoffs to play these teams the year after when they knew the teams would be down. Padding the schedule to appear better than it really is. Look it up!
  19. I don't know why anyone posts in this thread I'm currently posting in!!! This thread should die! This tactic is as dumb as believing rage responding to social media rage influencers does anything other than support and promote said rage influencer.
  20. I really do think it will end up being on a list of worst movies ever made. As @Buzzrock said, it won't fall into the so bad it's good world either. No gratuitous T&A, not shoe string budget, no gore for gore sake, no goofy acting and no quirky editing. Shit script, shit CGI, shit acting, shit directing and shit plot.
  21. Trev Alberts clearly conspired with "Snakey" to drop bags to CDC and pressure Sark to play Quinn. Facts!!!
  22. You do know there are posts on a lot of different Longhorn NFL players and how they are doing in the preseason camps. It's not really surprising that were are discussing a Texas QB drafted THIS year facing his first NFL camp. But hey, I find discussing Facebook posts weird and thats a pretty popular thread too.
  23. You're suprised that people are still talking about one of the 3 highest rated QBs ever to come to Texas and who also took us to 2 CFPs. Breaking news, we still talk about VY.
  24. Given the health issues in the Miami QB room, I think Quinn was a reasonable late round draft gamble for them. To use a poker analogy, holding 7s and 8s pre-flop and calling a pot odds bet is a solid poker. It has a lot of ways to lose but it's a gamble worth taking particularly if you are already short stacked in a tournament game.
