  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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?
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. The beginning on the 99 game wasn't great. I was there. They got off to a huge lead and then blew it.
  9. 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?
  10. Tagging @Rimbo for absolutely no obvious reasons.
  11. To be fair, several shirts in that closet should also be set on fire or buried in the backyard.
  12. 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.
  13. 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?
  14. 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.
  15. Also yes and yes.
  16. Yes, yes, and their OC runs the Qb a lot.
  17. 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.
  18. You cared enough to ask.
  19. Would you prefer me to replace "losing your shit" with "posting manically?" Would you prefer that? Please show me taking a position on Quinn Ewers and his abilities in this thread, and then please tell me where I've taken a different position on him, thus moving the goalposts. You demand receipts when people say things about you, well, live up to your own standards here. Find a single position I've taken, and then show where I've moved onto a different position. I've never discussed ANY position on Quinn, the roster, etc. So stop addressing me with this shit. But if I were going to bring receipts, well, I'd bring the ones where posters were discussing something OTHER than making the 53 man roster. But hey, who am I to tell you how to do the job of bringing receipts?
  20. You're projecting. I'm not saying shit about Ewers. My view on Ewers trends closer to your views on Ewers. What I am doing is laughing at you telling others how to bring receipts. As if anyone needs to bring receipts to know that you said Ewers sucks over and over. Shit, without a post, we might actually believe you think highly of Ewers. It's absurd. And it's absurd that you're trying to dictate exactly what the argument is on this thread...it's along thread, there's probably been half a dozen different arguments about Ewers's likely end result. "The argument was never..." Ok, why don't you bring your own rules and show us receipts that the argument was only the one thing you say it was? I'm not moving any goalposts, fuck, I don't think Ewers is going to do shit in the NFL. But watching lose your shit here is bizarre.
  21. Yeah. It's sort of the flip side of the very definition of "CAN win."
  22. They picked a game they can win. Smartest thing they've done in years.
  23. Do you really need someone to find examples of you on this thread saying Ewers isn't an NFL QB? Like unless he produces posts, no one will be sure you said it?
