  1. I know Troph said to stop quoting him but people will literally say any ole dumb ass thing.....How dumb do you have to be to lose money in the market since Covid?
  2. My neighborhood is full of dudes like that. Everyday I am sitting out front in my lawn chair sipping lemonade watching their stressed faces coming and going. Right now we are in full remodel mode. I'm going to sell while all the MAGATs are chest bumping and then when the bottom falls out I'm going to buy low and semi-retire in a friendly state.
  3. Pete the Great won 4 years in a row. We all know that. No single QB in the history of Texas was on the right side of 49-0 and 34-3. Go on and look. Link below. If putting up beatings like that were so easy someone would've done it over the last 120 years bro. Dude accomplished a lot as far as Texas QBs are concerned and he only played three years. You guys shrugging off dude's accomplishments as sheer luck and happenstance is alarming. Neither VY or Colt ever made it to two conference championships and def not by their 3rd year. Is it so difficult to give ole buddy credit?
  4. You are right bro. We just got lucky the schedule was so weak the last two years right? I mean OU wasn't OU. The Big 12 was down last year. We just happened to luck into Oklahoma State in the championship game. How did they even win 10 games? How did they beat the same OU we lost to? I mean, they were far worse than 2005 Colorado(7-6) and 2009 Nebraska(10-4) right? The SEC is usually so stellar and now it's not right? Usually every team wins 11 games and never loses a bowl game to another conference. How the hell did we even make it to back to back playoffs? Everything that happened while Quinn was here was due to luck of the draw. Texas and OU have played for 125 years. No Texas quarterback in the history of the series has ever put together two dominant performances like 22, and 24. I'm trying to remember a Texas QB who even played in two conference championship games.
  5. We finally figured out how to use him in year 3. He is much more effective getting it to him quickly and letting him create.
  6. I always forget the rest of the state is Cowboys fans too. Makes sense.
  7. That's right. He graduated in 70. Still 20-0 and a NC has to go in front.
  8. Colt is behind Street if we are going all time. How you can say he is above a QB that went 20-0 with two national championships?
  9. No one has gotten anything done since VY left and that's why we have no more NCs. We've won exactly two conference championships since then. One belongs to Colt. The other to Ewers. Those are the facts. The fact that y'all are trying to downplay the only other guy to win one says a lot.
  10. If they beat us twice they are getting in. We were one of the best teams in the country. Beating us matters on your resume. Point is they weren't John Blake bad. Let's stay on task here. Y'all are moving the goalposts. They won 10 games.
  11. It means you were around and had a feel for the game at the time. You saw football through the eyes of someone who knew how innovative the wishbone was, and had a grasp of how Street's impact to the game was. You know, like how WE Gen Xers understood what that VY zone read was about during his time in college football and how unstoppable it was in 2005. I mean, if we are going to try and act like people are dumb here you can do that somewhere else, but if you want to have a serious discussion then let's do it.
  12. I said if you start bringing in the old guys Colt isn't second. You are trying to make an argument I am not making. Must be the offseason.
  13. It's for sure hyperbole. They were a win away from the CFP last year. They struggled in a new league that has more talent top to bottom than the Big12, where OU and us were the two most talented teams pretty much since inception. Give them Gabriel back and how many wins do they have? As far as all time I put Quinn right behind wherever you think Colt should go. I usually break up the eras because football is so much different than it used to be. First, NC's were just "declared". Most people never got to see the people in person so it was mostly all hype, and we were discounting teams with black players back then.
  14. 3rd in our era chief. We start bringing in the old guys and Colt isn't even 2nd.
  15. Complete hyperbole. This version of OU isn't close to how bad Blake's teams were. Blake's teams went 3-8, 4-8, and 5-6. Last year's OU team was one Bedlam loss from being in the college football playoff themselves. They aren't a bad team. They are a decent team with bad QB play. Put Gabriel back on that team and they win 10 games this year. When I said 3rd I mean of our time. If you are bringing Street and Layne into this then Colt isn't second. There is no way Sam Ehlinger is better than Ewers. Outside of last year's OU we lost to teams that were largely more talented than us with Ewers. You cannot say the same about Ehlinger as much as we love him.
  16. I said Colt is number 2. Why are you arguing an argument I'm not making? What I AM saying is that let's quit acting like dude didn't cement himself a solid 3rd. OU has been bad in the past and no one has given them the two asswhippings Quinn did. No one! Not even Pete the Great.
  17. The two things Quarterbacks are measured by here at Texas, how you did vs OU, and how you did in conference championship games. Colt Big 12 Championship- 20-36 184 yards 0TDs and 3 INTs Quinn Big 12 Championship- 35-46 452 yards 4 TDs and 1INT Colt vs OU- 3-1 record. 79-118(67%) 836y 6TDs 2INTs over 4 years Quinn vs OU- 2-1 record. 72-96(75%) 834y 6TDs 4INTs over 3 years Combine the two and it looks like this Colt- 96-154 1020yards 6TDs and 5INTs Quinn- 107-142 1286yards 10TDs and 5INTs Add the Georgia game for Quinn and ...... Colt- 96-154 1020yards 6TDs and 5INTs Quinn- 134-188 1644yards 11TDs 6INTs Again, this is someone arguing in bad faith. Colt struggled mightily in 09 vs OU and in the Big12 championship game. Funny how we are NOW trying to paint a different picture. Most everyone considers Colt number two in our lifetimes behind VY, but to try and claim that Quinn is miles behind Colt is dishonest. He threw for 452 and 4 TDs in the Big12 championship game and gave OU the two worst ass whippings in our lifetimes. This whole narrative that he was just along for the ride is false. 49-0 isn't "along for the ride". 452 yards and 4TDs isn't "along for the ride" either. Let me remind everyone that he piled up these numbers in 3 years. We should tip the cap and thank dude for his service.
