  1. Not naming any names here, but seems like it could be bad timing for any school out there that still has $75MM+ committed to a former coach.
  2. This. I know multiple people that have the means but did not attend a single game this season (including 2 games local in Dallas) indicating they will go to championship game.
  3. Dude had to know the boo's would be coming. Seemed like he basically thought he could take the high road (without offering an apology) and it would play out ok with the fans. Haha that stadium was having none of it. As others mentioned, you could barely make out anything he said the boo's and SEC chants were so loud. I've never seen anything like it. It was phenomenal
  4. Yeah, 12/31 was pretty booked. I have a Luke and a Peche. I know Luke hasn't gotten high marks on this thread but I've 2 fantastic meals there and can't go wrong with Peche. Not sure which we will end up at. But trying to plan a larger 1/1 Brunch. Last time we had a big table at Mr B's which worked well but they are booked up for anything other than small tops. Has anyone done Arnaud's brunch? I have not. But we currently have like 3 tables of 8 booked. Not sure I love the "fancy" dining room aspect of it as not sure anyone is going to want to dress up, even a little, on gameday. May need to talk to them about that.
  5. I had hotel, flights, restaurants booked for NOLA already. Willed that shit into existence.
  6. Put us both in. Iowa is embarrassed by this offensive performance.
  7. The Big 10 game has more fireworks than this.
  8. Where is Greenspoint? That's ballgame
  9. I have a side TV in the bar for a reason. I guess worth putting it on? Big 10 football. The worst.
  10. What a fucking idiotic title. GTFO with that bullshit. 10 Point win ON THE FUCKING ROAD. We're in.
  11. We're fucking in. I have LAX and MSY booked.
  12. That just about does it!
  13. Big play
  14. Just get a first down Milroe
  15. The Big 10 bias is not talked about the same but way worse than the SEC bias from what I can tell. The SEC has so many more skins on the wall to back it up. The Big 10 is largely stuck in the late 90's early 2000's from an offense standpoint and just an awful TV product (in my opinion) yet still somehow manages to dominate ratings. Just odd.
  16. We should figure out his work email and everyone should set up a recurring $5 donation so he gets dozens of monthly emails thanking him for his support of Texas NIL.
  17. Anyone want to tell Longhorn Board where we likely play our next game if we win but the rest of the Championship Games go chalk and we aren't in the playoff?
  18. Yikes. It's crazy how fast Baylor has fallen. Can't even keep starting QB's. Looks like they are back to pre-Briles Baylor.
  19. I listened to most of the press conference earlier. It was a very Gundy press conference. He wasn't talking shit. Lots of praise for Texas while simultaneously making it clear he's not backing down and confident his team has the ability to execute (i.e., Texas always has size and recruiting "talent" advantage in this game). Gundy is a hell of a coach. He's going to have that team ready to play their A game.
  20. Might as well be this one. I think part of what is driving prices is "face" is ridiculously high (at least for the recently released "non resale tickets" seats currently on seatgeak). I saw someone mention that it's higher now than they 2 months ago. If that's the case, the Big 12 probably "flexes" those prices back down some later this week. But yeah, Jerry/Big 12 pricing is pro sports ticket pricing and I don't think either Texas or OSU fans are used to paying anything close to pro ticket prices. I'm pretty sure Tech was the only Texas home game that sold at a premium all season despite our best season in over a decade. I'll be buying some but it will be towards the end of the week.
  21. I remember some speculation he was hurt. I also remember he constantly tried to force the ball to Worthy in double coverage while also missing every deep shot horribly. I also seem to recall swirling winds that fucked with us. But it was just awful across the board down the stretch as we couldn't run for shit in the 2nd half either. Just pulled box score, and yeah, we had 3 second half points. Ewers was 19-49 for 319, 2 TD's and 3INT's. We were 3/17 on 3rd down and 0/2 on 4th. Also, of course, 14 penalties for 119 (and zero for OSU). Obviously we can fully expect similar officiating if not somehow worse. I don't think Gundy is dumb enough (and will make sure his players aren't dumb enough) to give us bulletin board material. But hopefully that loss still stings.
  22. From what I've seen of Gordon (whihc hasn't been a ton) he's a different type of runner than we've faced. Has great vision and elite cut back ability. He's not going to just run straight into the line and rely on contact balance to gain yards like Tahj Brooks. Gap assignment from our younger players will be important. Can't allow Bowman to get in any kind of a rhythm or get comfortable. He seems like the type of QB that can get hot if he's comfortable but will turn it over if behind the chains and under pressure. On offense the yards will be there to be had all over the place. Ewers just needs to be patient and not make mistakes. He played probably his worst game of his career last year against these guys (well, either them or against TCU). This is a great matchup for us on paper. Of course so was Auburn for Bama last week. And I'm sure both KSU and OU thought the same thing when they matched up. Hopefully the team is able to keep the same focus and intensity they played with the last 6 quarters and ignore all the outside playoff noise that will be dominating media and social media discussion this week.
  23. That's horrible. Just ate there a couple of weeks ago. Coordinating a large pickup for a big group staying nearby. It was damn good.
  24. Any word who Lebby might take from that OU staff? Who would we want him to take? Don't know their reps as recruiters.
