  1. There's lots of conversations going on. Again, I know you're struggling here, but exceptions PROVE the rule. I gave you a list of 100 3 stars from 2022. Which one has even started, much less outplayed Simms? Anywhere. You can't go through the exercise, you just go "Hurr durr here's a 3 star that was better than Simms." I'd argue Chis Simms gave us 4 star production while he was here. Maybe mid to high. Lets take a look at the mid to high 4 stars from the 2022 class: Devin Brown Walker Howard Gunner Stockton Nick Evers Maalik Murphy Brady Allen Katin Houser Tayven Jackson AJ Duffy Holden Geriner Sam Horn Jacurri Brown Justyn Martin By the way, the 5 stars for this class were: Drew Allar Cade Klubnick Connor Weigman Ty Simpson How many of any of those above are going to have a better college career than Simms? Klubnick, who played all 4 years? Maybe Allar. Definitely he had the career of your average 3 star. If your average 3 Star is Cade Clubnick, who was a 5 star.
  2. You illiterate twat, I didn't walk into shit. For starters, lets get to the illiterate part; this thread is literally about Quinn Ewers. My derailing conversation was about evaluating Chris Simms, objectively, which it's pretty obvious a lot of people can't do even when they say they're evaluating him objectively. You literally said Simms had the career of an "average 3 star." You think cherry picking Major Applewhite, or any 3 star who's gone on to be a STAR QB even, is some kind of gotcha? YOU HAVE TO PICK THE AVERAGE GUY. I gave you a list of 100 players from a single class that were 3 stars, find me the ONE that has a career equal to simms, much less the average of them together. Major Applewhite is completely irrelevant. Hell I'm pretty sure Colt McCoy was a 2 star, if not that he was certainly a 3 star. Josh Allen wasn't rated. Sam Bradford was a 3 star. Pat Mahomes, 3 star. Exceptions PROVE the rule, you doofus.
  3. Was he the guy we'd hoped for, and many expected? Probably not. Were there varying degrees of responsibility for that, some, but not all, of which were on Simms? Absolutely. Your 3* comment is fucking stupid. Below is a link of the top 3 star QBs, via 247, from the 2022 class. The 3 stars start at #19. It's recent enough that most of these guys would/could have played football if they'd been developed worth a shit. Tell me which of these guys has a career as good as Simms? https://247sports.com/season/2022-football/recruitrankings/?InstitutionGroup=HighSchool&Position=QB *edit* Here's the list, thanks ChatGPT, spoilered: I'll fucking wait. I only recognized 4 names in that list, maybe, but by all means please tell me which of these guys mirrors the career of Chris Sims. Much less how his career would equal the "average" of all those shitbirds. I can do this for 2021 if you like too. You're right. Sports message boards are subjective. It was Laguna who insisted that, OBJECTIVELY, simms had an underwhelming career.
  4. I know where this place is, it's in the Heights. It's a couple miles from my office, and maybe 3-4 miles from my home. It's on a nice street with a fair amount of bars and potential foot traffic in...not exactly what I'd consider a part of town with a high percentage of Aggies, per capita. I find cigars vile. I can't get the taste out no matter how many times I brush my teeth, makes your hair smell l like a campfire, but whatever. What I can tell you, is that I'll absolutely never buy anything from these guys. I won't recommend it to anyone. I have a good buddy who's an Aggie and loves cigars, and he'd probably love these, but nope. Go fuck yourself. I'll never respect any business that panders to a small segment of the population at the risk of offending a broader, more general public. But that's who those losers are, and they're not even smart enough to see what a weakness it is... Their store would probably CRUSH it in Cypress. Maybe they could relocate there and get Daddy98 to show up and regale everyone with his stories.
  5. At least it's contained to the Quinn Ewers thread.
  6. Cedric wasn't 1st team 2 times. He was 2nd team in the years below, and I did make a mistake that he was also first team with Adrian Peterson in 2004. https://big12sports.com/news/2002/12/10/1518373.aspx https://big12sports.com/news/2003/12/9/1519278.aspx I don't know what your point that the lists were "littered with longhorns" proves We were talented teams. But I see a lot of STUPID fucking choices. Like Roy Williams a 2nd team WR behind Rashaun Woods and fucking Mark Clayton. Multiple years. I guess you're not aware of the entire Big 12 coaches voting Texas 5th one year and costing us a shot at a title. It's not a conspiracy theory, it's pretty plain in the voting. But of course, I never claimed it was objective. It's very much emotional. Much like Kirk Bohls voting for Reggie Bush for Heisman and Chip Brown writing hatchet articles about Texas. By the way, Big 12 awards are voting for by people, which is the definition of a subjective opinion, and shouldn't be considered objective criteria by any definition.
  7. Simmons was a true freshman last year. He wasn't a secret by the end of the year, obviously, but I except him to demand a lot more double teams than he saw last year. And it still might not matter.
  8. Finally, you've positioned yourself into a spot where you'll have to define something. You say overrated/underachieving, and again I will ask, by what metric? Because, first, overrated/underachieving is usually code for someone's personal expectations of a player, which by it's very fucking nature, is emotional, and NOT objective. Which is why I've been asking you to define your nature of success and you come back with... All Conference Selections? That's your metric. Selected by coaches and the media, the same coaches who always conspired against Texas and the same media that voted against VY for Heisman? During the same years Leach was going apeshit at QB at Tech. You know, it's almost like nuance matters. Cedric Benson was never a first team All Conference player, I don't believe in a year he scored the most points of anyone in the Big 12. Yes, yes I do believe I can scoff at your criteria. I'm not attempting to pull a gotcha, I've been directly asking you your criteria. And you came back with All Conference nods. No no, you please continue down this path. "His tenure was disappointing." That doesn't sound like Objectivity. It sounds like an emotional response.
  9. I'm not enabling anything. I'm simply sitting on the sidelines wagering on what that addict is going to do...will he clean up his life, or will he run, not walk, to the lines of cocaine and syringes of heroin just sitting on that empty table, unguarded?
  10. Why are they even asking? Mosley hasn't practiced consistently in a couple weeks now, and was already going to be behind the other guys who have practiced. And we think Sarks letting him into the trust tree on game one against Ohio State? OK.
  11. Stop pretending. You're going to come back and defend Teh Major because you can't help it. No. You're supposed to think that a bunch of shitty fans and alums were shitty fans and alums.
  12. He went 26-6. He was a good QB at Texas, and hampered by a retard in the booth. Laguna is repeatedly saying that Simms, objectively, was a mediocre QB at Texas. I'm simply asking him his defining criteria.
  13. The beginning on the 99 game wasn't great. I was there. They got off to a huge lead and then blew it.
  14. I don't think you know what objectively means. He's statistically in the top 10 in almost every major passing category in Texas history, he did it in about 2 years worth of playing, and he, OBJECTIVELY, had a fucking retard as an OC. You've labeled him as an overrated underachieving QB. Well, how so?
  15. Tagging @Rimbo for absolutely no obvious reasons.
  16. To be fair, several shirts in that closet should also be set on fire or buried in the backyard.
  17. Yeah, because he's not a piece of shit. He loved his teammates, and he liked Austin, but he hasn't been back willingly and hasn't affiliated himself with Texas at all. For a reason. CTJ and I have worked with a woman who dated Simms for awhile in college. She is a foreigner, and doesn't give any fucks about football, which was a big appeal for Simms. She tells some pretty horrific stories about how he was treated on campus. Prank phone calls at all hours, death threats after bad games, being jeered and heckled when he was on campus by other students. Imagine being Chris Simms, looking like he looked, and basically locking yourself in your apartment with a woman who didn't understand or give a fuck about football as a refuge from the shit he received. And it's pretty obvious a lot of those kids heckled him have moved onto message boards.
  18. Holy shit. First, a completely baseless "arch will tap out." And a legit LOL at "He's a former NFL DC, he can confuse an NFL QB." Can he? Is that why he keeps losing jobs? Because if you were good at it, I didn't think you lost jobs. All the while ignoring the whole repeatedly dubunked concept that NFL coordinator success equates to college success, at like any level. I like the part where his concept of "playing against the rules" is acquiring kids from HS and The Portal. Like Texas and Oregon. Exactly which rules aren't we following, recruiting both HS and the portal?
  19. I'm not sure there's a single player who gets run over more from our own fanbase, undeservedly, than Chris Simms. The guy was top 10 in most statistical UT categories in about two cobbled together years of QBing. More than that, people on campus and off, during college and after, have treated the guy like dogshit, personally. I don't blame the guy for having nothing to do with the University of Texas. And I say all that as a Major guy during the time. The guy went 26-6 as a starter, for fuck's sake.
  20. Also yes and yes.
  21. Yes, yes, and their OC runs the Qb a lot.
  22. Atwell is savage on twitter and she’s been a sports producer at news stations. She knows her shit. I’d give her a shot. also, everyone is complaining about it being stale, meanwhile they just added more personalities and content? Jesus guys, wait for it to suck before you say it sucks. It’s not like they hired Ian Boyd. And while I get the Bob Shipley eyeroll, I also get the hire; probably 70% of OTF’s subscriber base are crusty old fucks who are still pissed Texas didn’t stick with the wishbone and think the early bird special at Luby’s is a little to late for dinner. He’s catering to those people, whether I’d like to push them off a collective curb and break all their hips or not. also, @UDontKnow, you can try to downplay atwell all you want but even if she has shitty takes, she still is immediately bringing net more to OTF than Howe, maybe Vogel, Shipley or Blake Munroe. It’s a visual medium, for fucks sake.
