  1. The whole "slow pace" whine is really going to look extra stupid this year. That offense was anything but slow-paced last night. Hunter has the ball on a damn yo-yo when he gets the duties, Carr is working to find open shots, Mitchell flies, Bishop flies, everybody runs. Multiple dogs on this team........ If Beard was just waiting to get the athletes he needed to run a different type of offense then he's going to leave those criticisms in the dust and cement himself as one of the best coaches in the country (if he's not already, idk).
  2. Turned on the last 5 minutes to see Keldon fumble a pass and then cough up the ball off the dribble in the last 2 minutes, when it was still a game. That sucks, but we're trending in the right direction at least. (In all seriousness, I said before the season that I think Keldon and Devin are too good to let us lose the number of games we need to lose to have a shot at the Top 3 picks..... and it still kinda seems that way. Maybe we get into the Top 8, but we're not a Houston-level shit show.)
  3. Good episode, I'm hooked into the season. Still don't know where everything's going but I like the drama and the characters are fun. Even Coolidge got me to laugh at her stupid character like 3-4 times this episode. She's ridiculous.
  4. This made me laugh in 2015, and it makes me laugh now. That call was stupid at that point in the game because of the stakes at that point, compared to how rarely that ever gets called, and it was also such a tick-tack call........... but......... the holding is literally right there. Nelson grabs the OL with a fistful of jersey in his left hand. He saw the double-team, ate the double team and held the OL so that Petey could stay clean and try to make a play. The defensive holding rule exists in this circumstance to keep D-linemen from doing what 95 did here, hold an O-linemen in an attempt to keep them from getting to the 2nd level. It's a common technique that's taught to D-linemen.
  5. "He's a liIIttle bit early" FUCK OFF YOU PRICK HE WAS WAY EARLY ENOUGH TO WARRANT A PI. DON'T BE THAT BITCH ASS PLAY BY PLAY THAT MAKES NO STANCES AND CHALLENGES NOTHING.
  6. I don't agree with the people saying we have the short memories on Card. That he had his chances and we all hated him. IIRC, the Tech loss was because we let a 3rd string QB kick our ass on defense. Card went 20/30 for 277 and 2/1 TD-INT. I remember thinking that was enough to win, but the defense let some slapdick fuck us all game on short throws, and Bijan fumbled in OT. I also remember Card going for 300 yards and 3 TDs against WVU. In his 2nd year as starter (part-time) he finally started to look like a start-worthy D-I QB, but we have a guy to anoint instead.......
  7. It reminds me of Dak Prescott's early years with Dez as his main option. Dez was a talent, and was certainly worth the target defenses put on him, but after a while it felt like his laser-focus on Dez would kill drives and kill the offense. Once forced pass to Dez where he looked at no other receiver would put you in a hole early on downs, then you'd lose a possession, then look like shit for a game because you did that 4-5 times on the day. Dumping it off to Beasley (Whittington) for 6-7 yards or Witten for a short gain (Sanders) would open up the defense, open up the run game, and open up your first option receiver. But you got a guy who wants to force it instead.
  8. Maybe it's because Quinn just got here in January, so he still has time to write his story, but he looks so out of synch with his players it seems like a far cry from the days where VY called for late night practices so we could be ready to beat Ohio State. From the days where you knew Colt and Shipley had thrown thousands of passes to each other because they seemed to have a mental connection on the field. There's no way these guys have met up for some out-of-practice route running sessions.
  9. Thinking that arrogant-ass Jimbo is going to sit in a meeting with boosters telling him how to run his offense, how to set the culture of his team, and which games he has to win and has permission to lose..... all while they're paying him that much...... only aggy can believe that shit.
  10. Most members come here to get rid of tix without the hassle of a 3rd party site, and bc we're all Longhorns, or fans. Not to gouge each other. Monetarily at least.
  11. I liked it, it felt all of 2:41, but even the scenes that seemed to drag didn't necessarily get away from themselves. It gets back on track quick, and Namor is badass imo, but I'm not a comic boy so idk.
  12. Or they can't understand that "by all accounts" means Looch and Perroni speaking to a recruit or parents immediately after an OV or UOV where everyone involved spends a weekend kissing each others' asses. Once the superficial shit wears off, what does College Station have to offer?
  13. Some POS in our league has Josh Allen, Tyreek Hill and Derrick Henry on the team (plus a Top 10 RB and Top 5 TE), in a 10-team league. I can't figure out the sleeper app to go back and see how the draft played out that we let this happen, but the fucker is 9-0 and beat me last week on my highest performing week of the season (J. Mixon). F that, wishing every bad thing to happen to end the season on him. Anyways, I got shitty QBs, T Lawrence (@ KC) or Goff (@CHI) this week?
  14. Good point on that dude.
  15. Wtf can we say if someone offers over 12 mill? He seems to enjoy his club and teammates, can we keep him happy for another year at least?
  16. Don't mind Coolidge at all, she seems like a real pro, but her character in this sucks. Can't stand it.
  17. Not sure if I came across the recommendation for 1920 on this thread or on r/bourbon, but it was a winner. Got one a couple weeks ago and I think it's my favorite bottle I've tried this year.
  18. A team that pushes the ball downfield, versus these PI-prone corners? Yikes. Puckering up in prep for Saturday. Lots of shitty deep balls gonna be flying, with no intent to actually catch them, just trying to catch a shitty CB getting handsy and not playing the ball.
  19. It's a multi-year process sure, but it also has to actually be fruitful. We need impact players at DE and at LB. We got young guys, but are any of them sure-fire talents? Are we sure that 2 years from now we'll be able to say "LB is shored up now and so is DE and now we got everything we need to field a complete defense." He's got to hit while recruiting, otherwise his multi-year process will be a waste of time. We've missed out on some big-time state DL and LB prospects in the past few years. That can't continue. If we keep taking shots on 3 stars and portal re-treads Sark will really have his work cut out for him.
  20. I'm not too sad, this was a bunch that played hard more often than not, and found themselves alive a lot longer than most expected. Today was disappointing, and they definitely seemed to be way too small and soft for what LAFC had to offer, but hopefully we get better after this offseason.
  21. Altuve got away with a blooper, made it infinitely less likely we'd get away with two. That wasn't a perfectly placed one in RF.
  22. The dude is batting under .180 for the 2nd half of the season and 0-15 in the post? C'mon mannn....
  23. What a crazy night for Keldon to have a crazy night. GSG.
