    This link should show all of UT's commits: https://247sports.com/college/texas/Season/2019-Football/Commits/

     

    Using both of these links works, but when I go to the team rankings on my own, I'm still running into road blocks.  I'll assume Hiphopopotamos's theory is correct.

    247's rankings are free 

    That's weird, because on both my mobile app and full website, when you click a school, they only show the top three recruits plus three random.  And it won't take me to the individual recruit's page.  I assumed that meant the info was available only to subscribers.

  3. For all the crap Gideon gets for that drop, I blame FUPM and Colt before I blame true freshmen Gideon and Earl Thomas.  On our last scoring drive, Texas should have been bleeding the play clock to <5 seconds instead of snapping it with >20 seconds. We should have done that until the game clock was under 30 seconds.

    Now for a non-fabricated story.  Our family was watching that game along with my son's best friend. During that last drive, I was cussing at Colt after every play for not running the play clock down. When we scored, all the women-folk were dancing and hugging while I was throwing a hissy fit. They turned to me expecting a fucking high five or something, and all I could howl with a cracked voice was, "We left too much goddamned time on the clock." My son's friend (a Nebraska fan) thought that was so funny that he reminded me of that story for years.

    In case anyone is wondering what role Thomas played in this, watch a replay of Crabtree's TD and notice how Thomas runs out of bounds instead of helping Brown (Curtis? Chykie?) keep Crabtree out of the end zone.

    Ahhhhh, great fucking memories.

    Our old babysitter ran track at Texas at that time so she knew a ton of football players. She was hanging out with friends and Gideon was there. She said he was a pretty entitled dick. He barked an order for her to throw him a bottle of water. She grabbed one and said “I better walk it over, you may drop it.” This wasn’t a week after the drop.

     

    She didn't say that.  It's more likely that someone told her afterwards that she should have said that, so she claimed it as her own because she's an attention whore.

    He might get backup snaps, but he’s not the man here barring long-term injury to Sam. 2019 is basically a wash wherever he is. 2020 he is likely behind Sam his third college year if he stays, competing for the start in his 4th. If (when) he leaves, he can set himself up as the likely guy or at least possible guy for 2020.

    And then there is 2021, his fifth year.

    Bingo.  We are so spoiled with Sam that it's easy to forget that few sophomores save their best performances for big games.  Heck just look at redshirt sophomore VY vs OU.

    I choose not to remember who QB’d the 2003 debacle.

    We agree again.

    The fucking lack of consistent call of this play is actually worse than holding.

    And it is ALWAYS the defender that gets called never the offense.

    Yeah, Sam literally targeted that KSU DB in 2017, but he’s an offensive player, so no call. The DB had his head up like he was supposed to. 

  8. The hit that LJH took on that short pass over the middle in the first half was much worse than the two we were called for late. I’ll try to find a link. Can we have some consistency, please?

    I have turned the sound off then synced up the radio. Works OK.

    ESPN app online sometimes has these awesome alternate cameras where the entire game is broadcast through the skycam, and there's only crowd noise. Awesome for watching the play unfold from a better angle (behind the offense) and way better for breaks - no commercials. It just shows the crowd and captures the noise during breaks.

    Maybe petition CDC on twatter to broadcast the skycam though LHN every game. That would be awesome. I'd actually figure out a way to pay for LHN though playstation or whatever if I could get the games all like this. No commentator. No replays. No commercials.

     

    aggys best loss of the decade! Part of the 15-0 legacy! 

    I’d like that right up until I want to watch replays from different angles. That nifty yellow line is missing, too.
