    43:04 Players are two yards away, QB begins to slide, at this point GJ has already pushed his momentum forward to go for the tackle at the waist. Right here, if he goes "high" that is a penalty for going helmet to helmet, so he goes low.

    This is just wrong. Hill is already sliding and Johnson has dropped his hips but hasn't started lowering his shoulder. It was a bad play. The reason Johnson got this low was specifically to hit Hill on the slide:

    That is not a form tackle, that is delivering a blow with a shoulder. There is no reason for Johnson to be that low with his head in that position unless he is aiming for a very low target like, say, a sliding quarterback.

  2. Changing the balance of SCOTUS is the only thing left to hold on to as a possible positive outcome of the Trump presidency in the old GOP's view. They are not going to just let Kavanaugh go without a fight. If it comes out that he perjured himself in the middle of everything else going on in this administration and the GOP doesn't maintain at least a 50/50 Senate then the odds of getting the 9th justice confirmed during Trump's term go Blutarsky. I think the odds are obviously in favor of holding the Senate but they're not sure of that.

  3. There are good reasons for Heard to have moved to WR.
    There are no good reasons why we never made any sort of Wildcat package for him to use his running skills with a legit threat to pass.  
    Especially when you consider Ehlinger is better at blocking on the outside than any of our receivers. Sad but true.

    Absolutily.

    I am forced to accept this answer, although I really wish Absolut was made in Russia instead of Sweden. I might have accepted it anyway given vodka's Russian association.

  5. Well, having been on Shaggy, I'm going to assume it's because you give good head????

    I think we're done here. This is the part where you realize you fucked up really badly and try to throw out distracting stupidity like that.

     

    I think even you are now starting to realize that it's far likelier that you were really stupid on a thread than that a half dozen good posters all went crazy at the same time.

     

  6. Actually, I only read a couple posts before mine and they were all of the same vein since I've started posting.  I had no idea that it was about some robocalls.

     

    You missed my post earlier somehow, I'll assume, although it appears to be the only one you missed. You jumped into the middle of a discussion about a clearly racist robocall, claim that you didn't read much, then started whining about how all conservatives are being called racists WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING WHAT THEY WERE CALLING RACIST BY YOUR OWN ADMISSION.

     

    That is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. And you have proceeded to argue for hours about how everyone claims everything is racist without knowing what people were calling racist.

     

    And since I posted, my point has been MORE than validated.

     

    No, it must definitely hasn't. The only thing proven is that you were flying blind, talking out of your ass, and made a fool of yourself. Here's a riddle for you: I support conservative policy positions on this board, have never been and will never be a Democrat, and yet I've never been called racist. How do you think such a miracle is possible?

  7. I really don't get the strategy of having Ted Cruz repeatedly @ Beto and use his name in his tweets. He is giving free publicity to the guy who very much needs better name recognition. O'Rourke is improving that on his own but why is Cruz helping? What a terrible campaign he's running.



  8. Trump is a buffoon.
    But, am I somehow supposed to support any position on the left merely because of that?  I think the positions of the left are HORRIBAD for the US.
     
    I also don't like getting called a racist just because I support positions on the right.  Fuck people who stoop to that level.  It's 7th grade ad hominem bullshit.
     


    What a terrible fucking performance in this thread by you.

    Nobody called you a racist. You jumped in when people were talking about A CLEARLY RACIST ROBOCALL to wave your hands and try to divert attention to a straw man about everyone being called racists. That's not what was happening and you know it.

    And now you throw in another straw man about supporting the left just because you hate Trump. Pure bullshit. Nobody said you should support liberal positions, just that you should maybe, you know, call out and berate CLEARLY RACIST BEHAVIOR instead of trying to distract others who are doing the same.

    Unless you're claiming that hating racist behavior is a purely liberal position. Is that what you're saying? Because as an ACTUAL policy conservative and not a poser like you I would call that just as much bullshit.

    Just pathetic posting.

    Can I get a formula check? I predicted Texas wins 48-9 (post #268). Actual score was Maryland 34-29.

    By my calculations it would work out as:

    200
    -25 [wrong winner]
    -68 [difference in margins 2(39-5)]
    -6 [difference in totals (63-57)]

    Total 101

    You gave me 81. Where did I figure wrong?

    Difference in margins is 44, not 34. 39 minus negative 5. The 25 point penalty for the wrong winner is on top of the extra margin penalty.

    Allegedly they played sam because they wanted to use him in the run game and then only did that when we had to in the 4th.

    Uh, they absolutely did not do it when we had to. On the last drive Maryland was playing a junk prevent defense with two rushers and one fat spy. That would have been the perfect time, and there was plenty of time to do it, to run a QB draw behind Porter's lead blocking. We never did it and instead opted to have Sam Ehlinger play the role of dropback passer with 4 targets against 8 defenders in pass coverage as Porter's first read was pass protection on a handful of plays.

    Ab-fucking-surd.

  12. Do we really need a breakdown of the patently obvious like multiple tweets informing us about black face and that “Straight Outta Congress” is a rip-off of NWA’s Straight Outta Compton?
    No shit, that tweetstorm was just weird. Nothing screams "I live a sheltered white life" quite like feeling compelled to explain and re-explain that the Straight Outta Congress poster was ripping off NWA. Oh, and you probably didn't realize that the "with attitude" description was also appropriated!

    No...In the Big 12, Texas experienced the biggest drop in attendance last year. I guess the "fan day experience" just isn't what it use to be...https://www.diehards.com/texas/texas-longhorns-college-football-attendance-big-12-2017

     

    In addition, despite Herman being the new messiah in waiting, the game against Maryland didn't even draw 90,000

    Actual analysis would say that Texas Tech's drop was larger because percentage is what matters. The real reason it dropped as much as it did (on top of 3 straight losing seasons) wasn't gameday design, it was losing to Maryland after having a day game against Maryland instead of a night game against Notre Dame for the season opener. Here's a game-by-game comparison

    2016 - att - 2017 - att

    Notre Dame 9/4 6:30pm - 102,315 - Maryland 9/2 11:00am - 88,396
    UTEP 9/10 6:00pm - 92,863 - San Jose State 9/9 2:30pm - 88,117
