  1. Dad was my HC and we only got a football sticker for a victory (Fr to Jr years), starting from the numbers on the back, to hopefully making a stripe across the top. He didn’t like filling helmets with stickers (OSU), but liked a clean helmet. Senior year he did away with the weekly stickers. I did get the request my Senior year to get black Nike cleats, because I thought the 5-8 big CFB programs that used them looked cool. He always thought they, black shoes, made you look slow, which we were anyways! Talking 87-88. Hook’em!!!
  2. With all the returning starters for 2024, as well as a potential Heisman Top 5 RB entering the season, what in the Hell happened to the Pokes last year? With the two departures, I for sure thought that they, along with ISU and BYU, were locks to contend for the B12 title. Hook’em!!!
  3. His new nickname could be “Cool Hand Arch,” as you can tell that he’s been PR trained. Hook’em!!!
  4. Well, Marty does have a show on ESPN, plus he’s on the CFB networks/SXM, so I think the “Manning’s” thought it’d be OK to do a Marty Smith 1 on 1 - IMO. I actually enjoyed the 17 min and loved Arch’s responses. Hook’em!!!
  5. No but I believe that could be the Saints plan for 2026. The “Manning Family” wants Arch to have 20+ college starts, therefore 2 years as a starter, at a minimum, then “maybe” go to the NFL. Cam is right on the “tanking” thinking, just wrong team and a year too early IMO. NOLA Boy playing where Grandpa started the family football lineage, Hollywood can’t wait! And he hasn’t even had a full season as a starter yet! Hook’em!!!
  6. Can’t root for the “ELGSES,” so it’s all about CO and X helping make history. Hook’em!!!
  7. Sark is helping build a machine that ends up producing at the next level. Many of it it situational based, as AD Mitchell was producing for the Colts, but he didn’t know two weeks out who his QB would be. Sweat and Murphy implementing their roles as rookie DL on day one was impressive! J Whitt benefited early with some main WR injuries early in the season, but he made his mark early and often. The switch to ST benefited him during the last half of the season helped grow his stats to be All-Rookie. So proud of all of our Longhorns in the League and wish nothing for the best for them and may they stay injury free. Congrats on great rookie seasons! Hook’em!!!
  8. I hope X Worthy gets more screen time than her. Hook’em!!!
  9. JK, but she’ll most likely get roughy 5-10 min of TV screen time tomorrow evening in a Chiefs suite. Hook’em!!!
  10. It was a creation of the Mike Slive (SEC Commissioner) back in the day to keep an 8-game SEC schedule, while other conferences had gone to 9. Plus the fact that most teams had gone from a 10 game schedule to around 11 or 12, depending on the season. The Slive rationale was that if each SEC scheduled a “cup cake” in either week 2 or 3 of November, the conference was guaranteed an additional home game, but also a victory in those weeks, while 50% of the country experienced a LOSS during that timeframe, so individual rankings of SEC teams wouldn’t be impacted close to the end of the regular season. It was “glossed over” by the media pundits, because of the rough and tough SEC regular season. While teams in the B12 for example played each member throughout the season. Pretty smart and the SEC got away with it until now, as with the addition of UT and OU, it almost mandates that 9 game schedule in conference. The only ones balking that idea are the ones complaining about losing that additional home game and cup cake victory. Hook’em!!!
  11. “Go Birds!” too. Hook’em!!!
  12. ELGSES Fans should be making shirts this week! Hook’em!!!
  13. I’ll give you an example of unfortunate fandom. Wife and I moved to Lake Charles, for her job, prior to the ‘96 Football season. The local Fox Channel covered both the Beaumont(TX) and Lake Charles(LA) markets, based in Lake Charles. If there was a “conflict” of Saints and Cowboys playing their games in the same 12 or 3 window, the local Saints fans were forced to go to the LC Civic Center to watch the “free” telecast or find a place/sports bar with satellite telecast for the Saints. This situation lasted for at least two seasons before better cable/online access occurred so one could watch the Saints at their home. Hook’em!!!
  14. One of my financially rewarding times was when I was able to drop my son off my auto insurance. I told him he had 90 days to get his own plan after college and getting a job. It dropped roughly 50% that day. Hook’em!
  15. You are so correct and thank you for pointing it out. It must be nice though to count on one hand how many home losses a school has experienced in 20+ years. Hook’em!!!
  16. That’s pretty rough, but thank you for your insight. Hook’em!!!
  17. Too soon. Hook’em!!!
  18. Why does the NCAA promote 2025 on both teams patches/jerseys and painted on the field? I understand today is 1/20/2025, but the football season was 2024. When UT played Navy, Jan 1, 1964, they were still considered 1963 National Champions. Hook’em!!!
  19. ND with the ball for ~10 min of Q1. That’s how they can win against a more talented team (on paper), but you have to only win once. Hook’em!!!
  20. Watts for ND is special. Hook’em!!!
  21. You are so correct. The Manning clan (IMO)have really prepared him media wise earlier than his years/experience. That is priceless going forward at a place like Texas. Already the Heisman front runner, according to Vegas. Hook’em!!!
  22. Lou’s grandson was a walk-on QB at UT and one time I was so fortunate to be in the locker room prior to KO/pregame and Lou gave the pre-game speech/talk. I was so fired up that in my 30s I wanted to slip on a uniform and run out there. I wish I could! Hook’em!!!
  23. Awesome - and thank you! Hook’em!!!
  24. Come on CTJ, the dude has talent off the charts. Surely someone besides a CC will give him a chance? Hook’em!!!
  25. I got blown up/torched in this exact thread yesterday. I couldn’t remember which one, as I’ve been off today and on Surly more than usual. All is well and that’s why I love Surly! Hook’em!!!
