  1. Yeah, I consistently go to great BBQ places but also hit up Rudy's for a meal every now and then. It is the same reason for going to McDonald'sor whataburger every so often. Don't have to wait very long. Good drink selection. You know what you are getting (decent, far from great). Whereas my go to (Truth/Pinkerton/etc), if you are 10 minutes late, makes a big difference in my mood since I rather avoid lines and I don't always feel like spending $30 for lunch (anti-humblebrag).
  2. Say more. I would trade a text thread with 8 people in it over 3 commitments any day. 4 in the bush is worth more than 1 in the hand if I remember what Tim Brewster said.
  3. Watched it based on this thread. For me, it fell in the odd category of "pretty glad I watched it but not sure I liked it enough to recommend to friends" category.
  4. I love being a UT fan these days because it gives us so much water cooler discussion. Is it the QBs fault or is it the WR's fault? How boring it would be to be Alabama and debate if the OL or the DB's have been more dominant over the last 10 years. At least we can all agree the UT offensive line is horrendous and that Sam should still be brought up because of his above-average play that led us to 4 straight conference championship victories.
  5. How is it not relevant. Sam could have chosen to stay this year and his above-average qb play would have led us to yet another Sam-led conference championship. Remember those?

    Long point or Greenway? I will corroborate (or not) soon if you say long point.
  7. I keep thinking to myself "what can I personally do, without a whataburger bag, to change this curse?" Been buying new Longhorn gear each year to wash away the stink of the previous year. Thinking of not buying anything new and seeing if wearing same gameday UT shirt two years in a row leads directly to a conference championship. I'm thinking yes.
  8. That's my point. For 10k, I almost did something I didn't want to do. For a million (in theory)? Hello piece of shit Ohio
  9. I abhore the cold and hate NYC and when I was 22, I almost took an investing bank job there because they were offering me $10k more than a Texas job. At 17-18 years old, this guy was going to get a large factor more for making a choice. Anyone who hates him for making the OSU choice at that age never really had choices. It's OK to think he should have gone to UT. I think that. It's straight dumb to think he made a stupid choice given what he knew at the time.
  10. Please don't forget we sometimes want them to act like a fullback.
  11. So I'd calculate that at 4% chance due to new Epsilon strain. Better than chance of keeping lead so I'll take it
  12. Can someone help figure out what is required now to get into the big 12 championship? So if OK state loses out and baylor loses out and WV loses out and Kansas loses out, are we in?
  13. I can't decide if I prefer the amazing short term laughs we would have or the beauty of locking in a long term only slightly-above-average situation for a decade plus at a&m. Tough choice.
  14. Ahhhh, didn't know that. My impression that led me to hate Herman quickly was just what I saw with my own eyes during those hugs. So I guess it was a savvy move with the billionaires but he lost this non-billionaire fairly early (though I rooted for him to prove me wrong for 2 years).
  15. Funny, I liked Herman and then saw Mack and him make out at the opening press conference and said "if Mack likes him this much, I think I hate him (Herman) already" I started hating Mack when I knew some inside shit in 2001 and hated him even during VY years. I talked a lot of shit about him and people hated what I was saying up until they used Colt like I would use Natrone Means. But to your larger point, Beard certainly is starting off en fuego. I hope that means MINIMUM sweet 16 but I'm now scared to actually have expectations for any specific season. And yes, I say damn we need a commitment so this board takes a turn.
  16. If this matches our games, I'd say around mid-Novembr 2022 is when we lose Arch. But we easily keep every 3-star.
  17. Until Beard loses 2 games. Then we will be criticizing every move and wish him death because he isn't immediately John Wooden.
  18. Nebraska is not a top 5 up-to-halftime team like us though.
  19. I wish our o-line could channel your internet toughness and just overall ragey-badassery into some pancake blocks.
  20. If our coach doesn't win national championship in year one, fire him. Our entitled attitude has gotten us so far this past decade, lets keep going!

    Thought about telling them but at this high a quality start rate, I figured one L isn't worth complaining about. 2 L's in a row, I for sure would say something.
  22. I remain moderate, which I know we as Americans are not allowed to be. We showed we can play great and we've shown we can lay a fart. Very very few coaches can make enough of an impact so quickly to change behavior. Our program has had a losers mentality since 2010 IMO. 'scared to death, throw up in the tunnel type shit. To expect Sark to change mindsets in 8 months is a stretch. To expect a real change in 2 years, probably reasonable. To change in 4 years, absolutely. So I am not guzzling kool-aid after Arkansas (OU and OSU bothered me less) but I also think its unfair people already writing off the entire next 4 years. 2 cents done.

    My Joe Dimagio streak at Truth is over. I'd say 35 or so consecutive visits where I was not disappointed (i.e. got happily fatter) came to an end. Got my usual brisket and pulled pork and both were Rudy's quality (which isn't bad to me, just not worth waiting in line or paying a premium for like you do at Truth). This will continue to be my go-to bbq place but sad that the streak didn't hit 56. I hope this was just a hiccup and not some change in quality or pitmasters or something.
  24. Anyone watched the Eli manning show with Ricky? It's on ESPN+ and I don't have that.
  25. Exactly. 2 to 3 scores, take the points for sure . But as much as everyone wants to criticize, we had hot hand at RB and our defense had looked pretty good for 2.5 consecutive quarters at that time. 99 yard drive seemed much harder based on recent events than the hot butter knife express it actually turned out to be. I ain't mad at decision, little more perturbed at play call. And my only small small small small complaint about Bijan yesterday was on this run. If he goes outside instead of turning inside, it's a TD fairly easily.
