  1. What a fucking idiotic title. GTFO with that bullshit. 10 Point win ON THE FUCKING ROAD. We're in.
  2. We're fucking in. I have LAX and MSY booked.
  3. That just about does it!
  4. Big play
  5. Just get a first down Milroe
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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?
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Any word who Lebby might take from that OU staff? Who would we want him to take? Don't know their reps as recruiters.
  16. PSA: Looks like OSU must have returned a bunch of tickets because there are a bunch of "non resale" tickets released today. Also PSA, I think they significantly mispriced face for this. $190 for uppers, $520 for 200 club level. Those would have sold out for OU but not for this matchup.
  17. I hope they had to offer him 25% more and 1 more year guaranteed than they would have if they just would have hired him yesterday like literally everyone predicted. Can't wait to see what they are having to pay a completely unproven head coach.
  18. This was the obvious answer all along. I hope his price got 25% higher after last night.
  19. This is truly amazing. Only aggy could make a bad situation this much worse. They have somehow managed to make this job less attractive to any potential candidate and given each candidate more leverage to bend them over in order to take the job. That or they get stuck with a DL coach (who even somehow manages to have leverage at this point apparently holding the keys to the roster). And the best part is they paid $76MM to get into this shitty situation.
  20. OU having to change their offensive system year 3 gruntles me. No idea who they would go after if that does happen.
  21. This is exactly what's going on.
  22. Seems to me like Agent's are doing Agent things leaking shit for the pregame shows to get their guys raises. I've thought from the second Jimbo was fired it was Elko + retaining a big chunk of the defensive staff. My guess is that deal was all but done before the Jimbo news even went public. I'll still be pretty damn surprised if that's not the case.
  23. I have no doubt the team is well aware they will get no calls. It won't be different from any other week. Fuck em. Leave no doubt.
  24. Watching OU/TCU without sound on Vonlane en route to Austin. Have they mentioned how in the hell DG cleared concussion protocol in 6 days? Fucking OU. They make the playoffs every damn year.
  25. The way other artists might work in oils or clay. It is his true medium; a master.
