  1. Especially after flaking out of the East-West Shrine Bowl. 4.4 is definitely fast, but it's not rare in the NFL. It's not even rare at the Combine.
  2. No. No, they wouldn't. Good luck to you, kid.
  3. It's you. You're the unstable spaz. I don't see any memes about threads being "AnotherLawyer'd."
  4. You don't understand. If Ricky Williams doesn't rush for 6,000 of his career yards, his statistical career at Texas sucks. DEBATE ME LIKE A MAN MOTHERFUCKER
  5. Shane Smith is a pretty good songwriter and has some good energy on stage, but agree to disagree.
  6. Because...that's...what...Derka...did. And you're arguing with Derka unironically.
  7. But do you compare how you deal with injury to how a 21-year-old soon-to-be professional athlete deals with injury? I mean, can't argue in the face of objective proof like that, you know.
  8. Not all of us missed the joke...but some of us missed how flippant the response was in the first place.
  9. You're not. He's a pussy. He isn't a pussy. He's hurt. He's not hurt. He sucks. He's one of the best. He's throwing at the combine. He's not throwing at the combine. It's spin. It's in his medicals records. We all know. None of us knows. It's time to lock and sticky this thread as a Classic and move on to Arch Sucks, Owens Should Starts.
  10. This thread is quintessential Surly. Maybe even quintessential Texas football fandom.
  11. Yeah. Now I'm feeling a little guilty. I think it was clear to most rational people that Ewers was injured in some way that involved his core muscles or his back and he wasn't the same guy we saw against UM. Whether it's spin or it actually affected him the rest of the season is up for debate. One of the things people aren't thinking about is that he has to sign a HIPAA release for the NFL and they'll get his meds. If it's untrue, it's likely to get leaked or at least it's something every team will know anyway and it's a dangerous thing to lie about.
  12. At some point the guilt of taking advantage of someone's DSM-level mental issues for entertainment value will outweigh how funny it is to watch a fat fucking fifty-something Never Was die on the cross of comparing his current self to a 21-year-old about to be drafted into a professional sports league.
  13. Legitimately that made zero sense. Like absolutely none. Some of us played with injuries we shouldn't have when we were in our teens and 20s and part of it wasn't just coaches putting pressure on us, but our own stupidity. Thirty years removed from playing D1 with a partially torn ACL that completely tore several weeks later, and five years removed from tearing the other ACL skiing, I can guarantee you there's a difference in how I felt and recovered. And you doubting whether Ewers, a starter for one of the highest-tiered teams at the highest tier of collegiate athletics, could play through an injury based on your anecdotal experience at 30 years older and in less-than-peak physical condition, is patently. Fucking. Absurd.
  14. How old are you now? Like 50? But, sure, it's apt to compare a 50-something who was never a college-caliber athlete with a 20-something playing at the highest level of college athletics.
  15. I feel like this is Exhibit A for the then-common argument that Texas high school players hit their ceilings in high school. I also feel like a lot of the coaches were to blame for running them into the ground. Some of these poor kids were probably showing up with 30-year-old legs at 18 years old.
  16. I get that we're not talking about busts but about guys who didn't live up to our expectations, but honestly what were you expecting out of him? The guy set the then-school record for career receiving TDs (still 10th or something last I saw). Also the receiving yards record with Mike Adams for freshmen. He was all-conference twice. The others, sure, but Lovell actually had a decent career with us for a TE playing WR his entire time here.
  17. He and Gray ran behind the same OL...and I literally said it's probably unfair. If you're calling out Gray, who had two exploded Achilleses, and which you do two posts later, and not Brown, who had zero exploded Achilleses, then Brown is actually the bigger disappointment. Having a mid career in the NFL punctuates that. Couldn't do it here, but could do it in in the NFL. Makes me think he was half-assing it here. It's not like, say, Priest Holmes who had some all-time games here and then consistently balled out in the NFL. Priest wasn't half-assing it here.
  18. Back in those days, that cougar should have hit up the Super 8 north of campus or whatever it is. She threw that poor kid under the bus.
  19. It's probably not fair, but it's a tie between Malcolm Brown and Johnathan Gray. Before that it was Tray Allen and Marquis Johnson. With all the hype each RB got, and Gray's pedigree, anything less than Heismans was going to be a let-down. Not only did that not happen, but neither of them even rushed for a thousand yards in a single season. I get that Gray had Achilles tendons made of glass, but even when he was healthy he was a plodding tweener, same with Malcolm Brown. And, for a 5-star Army AA, Allen was just underwhelming and mostly below average. Johnson didn't even make it here, I think? And wherever he went, he did nothing there either.
  20. Well...that was her kink.
  21. If there's one place you don't want a QB to go, it's the Browns. If there are two places you don't want a QB to go, it's the Browns and the Jets.
