  1. Just DM'd the link and Surly Horns tweet to some buddies of mine that I know follow the team but aren't in any of the boards. Got a few responses already impressed by the deal and ready to jump on board!
  2. RGV/Weslaco Panther legend and the Lifetime Longhorn passed away late last night. Thoughts and prayers to his family and our Weslaco Community. For those that don't know about him, he was the starting QB for DKRs first conference championship in 1959. In addition to playing QB, he was also the team's starting DB, punter, kicker, and punt/kickoff returner. I believe he was the first longhorn to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Read a story in our newspaper a few years back detailing one particular RRS game against #2 OUsucks (1958 I think?) where he threw the tying touchdown pass, kicked the go ahead extra point, and then picked off the OUsucks QB to seal the game. Dude was a baller. (Edit: found a summary of the game that Barking Carnival did a few years ago: "Lackey was spectacular on both sides of the ball. Aside from throwing the winning touchdown, he recovered a fumbled punt, made an open field tackle on Bobby Boyd with a minute left in the game when it appeared the All American was touchdown bound, and then he sealed the win with an interception") Before that, he was a First Team all state football and basketball player for Weslaco High, leading the Panthers to the 1955 state semifinal (football). UT Hall of Honor, RGV and Texas High School Sports HOFer. Here's the announcement from Weslaco ISD. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=4254326824644628&id=719985588078787
  3. Not the kind of action he was referring to, chief.
  4. Are unicorns indigenous to the Central Texas area?
  5. Switch that. Minus is the favorite. Let's say the outcome you bet on is -200. If you bet $200 and that outcome happens, you win a $100 profit. +200 If you bet $100, you win a $200 profit. Or, to use the same numbers as above, if you bet $200 and win, you get a $400 profit.
  6. I love this sunshine description of their theoretical best o line and why they're supposed to be good. LT: Consensus all American... At a different position. LG: He was good in high school. 😄 C : Umm.... His family was really good. RG: Shoot this is getting hard, we need to say something...ummm... This dude big. RT: Started at a school that was a dumpster fire.
  7. They keep beating home this "4.5" speed of King's (queue Jennifer Lawrence yea ok gif). They really think Jimbo is excited to see this "tantalizing aspect of his game"? The same coach that said a QB running means he doesn't understand the playbook enough? Yea ok.
  8. Also, as much of a Jimbo fanboy as she is, I'd be surprised if there was ever an off-season where she didn't think they were going to win it all.
  9. Throw the ball to Bijan. If we want to get really fancy, we can fake the hand off to Bijan before we throw it to him.
  10. Damn, Nicole woke up this morning and chose violence!! That's a can of worms I certainly was not going to touch lol I mean, Nick Foles, now Sam Ehlinger.... Maybe Reich does have a Westlake bias 😂
  11. This video from the team's Instagram pretty clearly shows two TDs from 11 to 6. Probably wouldn't be featured on the IG if one of those hadn't counted, so I'm gonna assume both of those were for real.
  12. Cajuns used a time out, that explains it
  13. After reading the back and forth over the last few pages, for some reason, I remembered that there was a post on the old site that predicted Sam would never start for UT and probably was going to transfer out. Out of curiosity, I decided to wade through the shit and go find that post. Imagine my utter shock and surprise to find that that poster was none other than: derka derka. You have been predicting him to fail since he was a junior in high school. Like, seriously, do you have some personal vendetta against him that makes it impossible for you to see any possibility of success? And every time he has some sort of success, you predict him to fail at the next level up and get pissy that no one agrees with you. "He's never gonna start and is going to transfer" - Starts his freshman year. So you move on to "he's never gonna lead us to any championships" "He's not an NFL caliber prospect" - gets drafted. "Well, he's never gonna start" - currently in a QB battle to potentially start week 1 behind injured starter. "Well, he's never gonna be a top 12 entrenched starting QB" Sam Ehlinger could hypothetically win the fucking super bowl and you'd probably come out next with some shit like, "Well, he's not a hall of famer" or "Worst QB to ever win the super bowl and all of you are just too blind from Westlake/UT homerism to see it!" There is no hypersensitivity to Sam criticism. There's plenty of legitimate criticisms to his game discussed on this thread. Lack of arm strength. Slow to make reads. Inaccurate deep ball. All legitimate, all calmly discussed. And, ironically enough, buried somewhere in your histrionic characterization of other posters' responses to you, those legitimate criticisms are there in your posts as well. But it's not the hypersensitivity to the criticisms that is being displayed on this thread. It's the hypersensitivity to your mind boggling lack of self awareness. That lack of self awareness is the whole reason the concept of a thread being Derka'd even exists in the first place. Also, since you seem to be a fan of the "I never said that" defense and the "Show me one post where I said that!", there is not a single person on this thread that has predicted Sam would become "one of the 15 best QBs in the entire world" and certainly no one has taken offense to the opinion that he wouldn't as you seem to insinuate in your post above. If there has, please show me the post where someone took offense to that opinion. In fact, you seem to take offense when anyone suggests that Sam is talented enough to be "NFL caliber" or you know, one of the top 100 (give or take) QBs in the world. So really, who is the one spazzing out here?
  14. Didn't realize Trevor Bauer posted here.
