  1. All of this. Pedigree and size make him covetable. Not much in his highlight vids makes you overly giddy, but he’s still really young. Sark and Co. will have a field day with him.
  2. I'm not sure about after the loss, but this year seems different. In the locker room: The culture does seem to be changing. Players could have bolted in mass exodus when Sark was announced or after spring ball. Even Casey could have been gone at any time. Instead players seem to be buying in to the program being built. They aren't regurgitating Turtle Tomisms after watching the team lose close games they should have won easily. On the field: The difference is noticeable in overall special teams improvement, fewer shoot your own foot moments, and much better utilization of personnel. On Surly: Not much. Overreactions abound. You know what that white stuff on top of chicken shit is called? More chicken shit. That's what this coaching staff is dealing with, and yet we average 44 points a game. Still people are clamoring about not calling X play in situation Y and fire this guy after 6 games. Holy cheese. We don't have an NFL lineman on our team. There might not be an NFL caliber player on the entire defense. I'm still in the show me camp, but I won't be surprised if Sark and Co. don't have a bulletin board with every available D1 transfer lineman, juco, or Rahway work release candidate for next year already lined up. Recruits are still pumped to come here. Anyone who thought we were going to be a final four team in year one was dreaming a pretty big dream.
  3. tldr: It's Texas/ou, anything can happen. When I was a kid, I had one of those electronic football sets. The real deal. Sheet metal grid iron with plastic dudes that scattered around when you turned it on. I loved that thing. I got some Testors model paints and painted one team red so they could be the sooners or arky or aggies if I wanted. The other team I painted orange. Probably would fill three pages on Surly for how inadequate the orange hue actually was, but you do what you have to do when your allowance is "You eat every day, don't you?" I would run the wishbone right down their throats as best I could with the erratic vibrations of that marvelous invention. And the Longhorns never lost. How could they? I had Electric Earl running the ball with that oversized QB/Kicker dude lead blocking for him. The point of all this is that I've seen enough of these Red River games now to know that I want our defense to play more physical than theirs and kick the shit out them and make them quit by half time. I want Casey to find his rhythm and hit the deep ball with ease. I want our line to gel enough to be at least adequate for amazing game. I want our receivers to not drop passes. I want the bounces to go our way. I want the refs to not fuck us. I want Bijan to make them cry. But like that electric football game, you don't know what's going to happen when you click that button. This game is awesome and special. And when we kick the living crap out of them it's even more special. Fuck ou. You suck. Hook 'Em.
  4. I can’t stop laughing between pirate hat grackle, 12thGrackle, and texags natural implosion. Gold.
  5. Can I still get a copy of Dave Campbell’s Texas Football? You know, for chuckles.
  6. Never underestimate aggy’s ability to aggy away a game. Even when the pirate tries to hand it to them.
  7. Shouldn’t be. It’s going to give me a seizure.
  8. aggy likes to crow about that 140 point game with LSU like it was something awesome, but they ignore the fact that regulation was 60 minutes of shitshow football and no one did squat until the refs started spotting them the ball on their opponent’s 25. A lot like this one.
  9. aggy fans chanting for the bird now. How bad is your team/game?
  10. Fuck that. Might as well kick the pat if that’s your play.
  11. Holy shit. This crew should never be allowed to officiate another game.
  12. Were we not promised a good D line? Why can’t we get pressure or sacks? I mean, we don’t cover, so might as well try that.
  13. Seriously. A barstool would be as effective as C Jones.
  14. Word. They refuse to see what is happening. We’re going to fuck people up.
  15. Wondering when Sark pulls out the HB pass with Roschon. Will he wait until ou sucks to show that? Hold onto it until bowl time? I mean, how do you NOT use a quarterback turned stud RB to burn one deep?
