  1. Someone who is not a Texas fan pointed out to me that the SEZ looks like a giant uterus. And now, goddammit, I can't unsee it. Then again, a big gaping vagina seems to be the perfect symbol to represent the mediocrity of this program lately.
  2. Full disclosure: I haven't lived in Texas in over a decade, so I can't really offer an informed opinion on the current state of affairs there. You might well be correct about the soft part. But stop and think for a moment about how many states in the SEC have just one or two credible football programs in the whole state. Louisiana? Only one - LSU. Arkansas? Only one - Arky. Kentucky? Only one - Kentucky. Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee? Two each, although some of those states only have one school in the SEC. I think only Florida is perhaps in a similar boat as we are, although I would argue that the rise of UCF and USF hasn't hurt UF all that much yet. Contrast that with Texas, where there are at least a half a dozen quality (okay, I'm using that term loosely when it comes to some, including ours) football programs: Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Baylor, TCU, maybe even UH. Plus we lose some of the top talent to out of state schools like OU, and lately - schools like Alabama, Ole Miss, and Clemson. We have almost a half a dozen programs fighting for the leftovers in the state. And Texas hasn't been relevant in over a decade. I don't realistically see how you can convince a prospect to choose us over say Baylor right now, and it really fucking pains me to write that. Hopefully the move to the SEC will help, but only time will tell.
  3. Hell I'd take one for the team and do the deed myself if it guaranteed we never had to endure another humiliating, shitty loss like this one. But alas, it won't.
  4. Show me where on next year's schedule we pull out seven games, given that we play both Alabama and UTSA in non-con.
  5. As my father once told me when I fucked up one time long ago: "Son, I'm not even mad. Just disappointed." Those words hit me like a ton of bricks. I vowed to learn from my failures and do better. And those words now pretty much sum up how I feel about Sark and this entire clown show of a season at this point. I'm not even mad anymore. Just disappointed.
  6. I don't think that tweet quite came out the way Anwar intended it to...
  7. In case you haven't noticed by now, Reddit CFB has been mocking us and enjoying schadenfreude at our expense for over ten years now. There is a reason that subreddit isn't on my sub list.
  8. So if we follow the pattern, then WW3 starts next year?
  9. I'm going to Charlotte next weekend to catch Genesis in concert one last time before Phil Collins kicks the bucket. I am planning to just enjoy the whole show and completely forget that Texas football even exists. Good luck against WVU, you're gonna need it.
  10. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory...it's what we do.
  11. You know, you're right. Giving up 49 points to Kansas just means you are pretty bad at football, to be honest.
  12. So, we're not covering at this point?
  13. Good God we look like Keystone Cops on defense. Blew up the wrong fucking guy.
  14. They're a good team, don't get me wrong. But not an elite one. Which just further serves to illustrate how gawdawful ours is right now.
  15. We're so bad, the zebras aren't even worth getting worked up over anymore.
  16. Narrator: "...they don't..."
  17. Yep, this team deserves about every last bit of ridicule they get from opposing teams and fanbases at this point. Bring on the SEC chants.
  18. Kansas has dropped 42 points on us midway through the third quarter. Let that marinate for a while.
  19. Fuck it, let Baylor into CFP. Twist that knife even deeper.
  20. Sure they do. They just seem to prefer the submissive role lately.
  21. I went to Illinois for grad school. I don't think Illinois won more than 1-2 games the entire time I was there. Stunning to me to realize that even Illinois would push this pussy ass Texas squad's shit in right now.
  22. So, uh, I'm guessing Kansas is going to cover that 31 point spread, eh, folks?
