  1. Every time I see someone say something like this I think "you're talking about top 4 and top 12 is what matters".
  2. Billy Strings with a tip of the cap:
  3. Lyle Lovett and Eliza Gilkyson have been added to that benefit for Rich:
  4. This SCOTUS is not SCOTUS 2000.
  5. Yeah, I definitely blew that one. Good thing I don't gamble.
  6. Do you remember Florida and Al Gore? Votes were thrown away by our legislative branch. It will be trivial to do so again.
  7. But but but Jason's Deli doesn't have a drivethrough! (Or does it? The one near me doesn't.)
  8. The predicate was a 9-3 regular season. I'm not predicting anything at this point.
  9. Who are "we"? What power do "we" have to prevent it?
  10. I don't buy it. I'm not saying it should be 45%, because (a) it was UGA ball and (b) we were down, but 25% just doesn't pass the sniff test. Regardless: I'm not arguing that point whatsoever.
  11. I haven't spoken to Kirby about this (lol) but I'm pretty sure he was trying to draw us offsides, and it worked. I suspect he would have punted had Simmons not done his typical neutral zone bullshit.
  12. What? Your odds metric says we reached a 25% chance to win presumably the moment we tightened the score to 14-10 in the 3rd quarter. Does down 4 in the 3rd quarter seem like a 25% chance of pulling ahead by the end of the game? It's not a forward looking calculation, it doesn't know about the onside kick, etc. You're reading it wrong.
  13. I don't understand why our odds of winning were 25% after getting the score to 14-10, but I'm sure my brain is broken. That looks like a very flawed metric to me, especially given the fact that anyone watching the second half acknowledged that Texas was shaking off the first half yips and starting to play to potential. Care to explain that 25% number? Perhaps without being an insulting ass?
  14. I don't know what point you're trying to make, but the game was within one score for the first 17+ minutes.
  15. I was referring to @UTEE97's pearl-clutching, not the rankings.
  16. I'm not as worried about the Dems losing the midterms as I am worried that the midterms won't take place. You know Trump will desperately try to manufacture a crisis that allows him to institute some form of martial law and delay the vote. They've pretty much told us this. Will it work? I have no idea, but I also don't trust this DOJ and SCOTUS to ever do the right thing if it hurts Trump and the Republicans.
  17. Every team has injury issues that we can use to over-parse results. Texas fans are unique in that we do it to our own team. I've been following Texas football for over 40 years and this is absolutely a nearly unique and persistent phenomenon. Let's all wear hairshirts and flog ourselves while we're at it.
  18. I don't understand why Vandy roaring back in Q4 counts against us, UGA running away from us in Q4 counts against us, but we don't get credit for a 20-0 second half against OU. Be consistent, for fuck's sake.
  19. The bright side will be a year in which we beat OU, A&M, and Arkansas. Small consolation, but not nothing.
  20. The Zelensky angle that first occurred to me was the sad irony of Trump scolding people to treat MBS with respect after he and JD Couchfucker absolutely went off the rails on Zelensky earlier this year.
  21. So is La Madeleine "fast food" or "fast casual"? I'd probably say the latter, but I could sustain myself there for awhile.
  22. The rooster is hilarious. I hope his name is "Todd".
  23. "It's political gerrymandering, not racial gerrymandering" seems a distinction without much difference.
