  1. I hate them all, but I especially hate this one. I fear no running QB unless they're Vince Young reincarnate. After we handled Jalen Milroe (in Saban's living room) last year, all fear of your mortal running QBs dissipated for me. This defense is built with tons of speed, everywhere. This year they proved it against guys like Diego Pavia & Marcel Reed. Everybody's Michael Vick until they have a pocket breaking down and try to "escape" with Anthony Hill or Collin Simmons beating them to their exit. Everybody's turning the corner on a zone read until they have Sorrell pushing them out of bounds for no gain. Fuck outta here.
  2. Taking a bit of profit at 4.48, and letting the rest ride to however high it will go. Not a bad 3x bump! Let's see where the rest is next year.
  3. I've walked past that porch so many times with students studying on those tables often. Incredibly lucky to have nobody there.
  4. Sling is also going up by $5.99 a month. Citing inflation in the notification email. Pass the inflation on to me, and throw a little extra inflation in there for yourselves. Fuck it.
  5. There was a play earlier in the season, maybe against Georgia 1, that seemed to be the exact same route, and EXACT same outcome, except with Ryan Wingo running it. I remember getting pissed that it wasn't a TD, but Wingo had the exact same reaction, turned inside for the ball, and wound up craning his head back to try and Willie Mays it, but ultimately just couldn't get to the spot where Quinn put it. IDK who's at fault, but I just thought I'd throw in that Moore isn't the only receiver to have trouble with this route, thrown by this QB, this year. Edit: different route. Was against OU. Wingo was outside receiver, breaks open in the 3rd quarter, 8:25 left, Quinn puts it towards the sideline/corner when Wingo is looking inside on a stutter-stepped fade route. Could not reach that corner and tried to adjust the same way Moore did.
  6. It's also important to mention that Auburn is no better than a coin flip on FGs outside 40 yards this year. So I don't know where this wishcasting that Auburn "should" have made both of those FGs is coming from. If he was Justin Tucker, sure he "should" be 6/6 because he was one of the best kickers in the country while he was in Austin. Auburn hasn't been one of the best kickers of shit while he's been here, and has regressed from the past three years from "serviceable" to "needs to be upgraded immediately." It didn't take this game for me to realize that, and I'm not sure where this 6/6 standard for Auburn is coming from. He is who he has been.
  7. This clip confirmed my feelings immediately after the pick that Quinn limp-dicked this throw. Half-assed it and then turned away from a hit that was still 2 steps away when he released the ball. I won't say it, but there are plenty others on this board who have pointed out this type of action from him. There are plenty of other NCAA QBs that step into that and at least put it there on time, because they're not scared of being hit. But as Sark says, sometimes it's just "bad luck".
  8. They're the methheads in the videos from Springfield, yapping away to cameras in front of their obviously meth-filled mobile home, blaming their lot in life on the immigrants that the plant manager from the town says are harder workers and more dependable than the methheads he used to have to hire. Nope, it's not the meth that's the problem, it's the immigrants that they swear somebody down the street saw eating cats. Or dogs. Or geese, or who knows what but they're immigrants and kick them out so we can become productive, sober members of society again. #Trump2028
  9. I was more worried last year than I'll be this year. Have 4-5 EDGE players that will be completely fine. DT is more of a question mark, but we had two guys transfer in this year that have given us the snaps and run protection we need, so I am confident in getting at least one next year too. Still got plenty of development guys waiting to get their moment to shine like January and Mitchell. Them playing more as the season progresses gives me hope that they'll be ready for big minutes next year.
  10. Take the rest of December to get the rotations and chemistry settled, then the (even more) fun really begins. Couldn't wait to see Vassell back, and he's showing he's still silky smooth, and now can't wait to see the full team healthy and get Sochan back. GSG.
  11. I was a little bit surprised at Mamu's athleticism out there, not only the steal and breakaway dunk, but also him diving for loose balls out there. That's a ball player.
  12. Omw back from a post-game dinner in Fayetteville and fuck that was a lot better as a winner than loser. Shitload of Texas fans in attendance. Sorry to disappoint the olds in here that remember the vitriol of the 70s or whatever, but the trip was fine. The town is cool, leaving AR with a golden sun was pretty damn impressive. Didn't have a single Razorback talk a single word of shit to me all game. Plenty of Horns down in the stadium, even t-shirts of that bullshit, but the worst reaction I got was an Arky fan leaving the game with his middle fingers up as we held the Horns high. The walk in and out was quiet as shit. They aren't bred to hate us in our face anymore.
  13. "They're bred to hate us" from home apparently. The ticket market has absolutely cratered.
  14. I've been so annoyed at the thought of a 60-year old man pretending to be in fighting shape for the past few months that I haven't even considered, what if Jake Paul lands a big right hand, the type that's knocked out more than a few men in their 30s. The type that stopped Mike Perry. This is a 60 year old man we're talking about. This is probably Top 5 dumbest choices Mike Tyson has ever made in his life. Took me a second to configure the rankings because there's some dumb shit in there that we know of. My money is on it being as fixed as they can get away with though. Another disappointing hugfest like Tyson/Jones.
  15. Sorry to Food & Travel this up, but any recommendations on somewhere to stay Friday night to break up the drive? I can stay with family in Dallas, but leaving at 4 am to make kickoff comfortably seems like a shit idea. I know a few pages back someone mentioned it might be worth staying in OK but I wouldn't know a damn thing about towns in that area otw to Arkansas. Any recs for a motel town that won't have a meth feel?
  16. We're not going to pretend Year 1 Charlie and Year 1 Sark went into those fights with a full "Texas" (capital T) arsenal. God Bless all the Texas boys that have suited up in the Burnt Orange over the past 14 years but neither of those teams were even above .500 at the end of the season. And it wasn't because Arkansas kicked our ass so bad that we limped through the rest of the season. Saying Charlie didn't "get it" against Arkansas is probably not on a single person's list as to why he is no longer the coach at UT. There are plenty of things he didn't get. Sark understands what it is to be Texas now, and we're not going into Fayetteville with a 5-7 team to take on a 9-3 Arkansas team like 2021 either. These days ain't those days. I plan to nut up in the visitor's section (comfortably around other Texas fans) like I fully expect this team to. There's appropriate fear, and there's whatever this shit is. I'm not taking 6-6 and 5-7 confidence into this Saturday, you can have that.
  17. Maybe they change my mind this weekend, but all year I've been hearing this and that about Àrkansas away, old rivals, throw out the spread..... I'm maybe in the minority but I don't really care about them. They were my dad's rivals and had a lot of 90s history in a conference I never knew. The first big game I remember watching was James Brown beating Nebraska. To me Arkansas is all stories and someone else's memories. Can't imagine any of the undergrads or players give any more of a shit about hating us than any other school. They'll throw the horns down because that's what everybody does. Stomp their shit and move on. I don't want to rekindle a rivalry from 30+ years ago unless they're going to be contenders again. We already have a little brother that hates our ass.
  18. Moore has had a good past few weeks, and was getting a lot more targets than usual in the 1st quarter. A huge drop and a bit of a juggle on the sideline hurt him. Sark seems to play the hot hand. I wouldn't be surprised to see Wingo get another big play or 3 before the year's over.
  19. Damn this was prescient as fuck. I'm struggling to find the connection that some of my friends get from voting for Trump, and I guess this makes as good of sense as any. I haven't had "real" conversations with them (not that I think they have "real" reasons), but the centering of culture war bullshit from the right really resonates with them. This puts it in perspective. As a 36 y/o latino male I don't share the view that they're abandoning me, but I'm probably older than who this is talking about and also grew up with the party that I vote for. Not because I love all of their ideas, but I find myself more closely aligned with what they represent, and a hell of a lot less of what that fake orange man is and represents.
  20. What a rough 2nd half watch. Sometimes Wemby looks like he's just playing rec-league hero ball throwing up 3s like a YMCA Steph Curry. The silver lining for me is the built in excuse that we were missing our 2nd best player of 2024 (and obvs 2nd best player on the team as well).
  21. "Who's your daddy" chants as their RB runs in the final nail in the coffin is pretty damn badass. Dirty work. Ya love to see it.
  22. Should've gone to the game tonight, was debating a quick day trip from Austin up until yesterday. They played hard and the defense showed. Vic with a few highlights tonight and Keldon with his best game of the season. Through 6 games this might be Sochan's team though.
  23. So then they're getting it right? The overturns are a success. I understand it adds 7 minutes of agony to your total watch time but they're literally making sure it's right. And plenty of us have seen no-brainers that are absolutely worthy of an ejection.
  24. We're gonna beat their ass. People manufactured worry because they dropped 50 on Mississippi State. We're going to beat their ass.
  25. Still not sold on Champagnie (sp). He's just as streaky as Keldon but plays a bit harder defense? Hm I guess I also forget he's just keeping Devin's spot warm though. We need more shooting baaaaad.
