  1. I picked Tampa Bay and Oakland. Oakland seems like a virtual lock with their soft as fuck schedule in September, other than the one series with the Astros. Honestly 50/50 on the other one...but I have a soft spot for the Rays after they were bros to the Astros during Harvey, so I hope they get in.
  2. 14 point swing thanks to the fucking horseshit roughing the passer call. EDIT - sorry for the multiple posts, Surly got hung up.
  3. 14 point swing thanks to the fucking ref horseshit calls.
  4. So have we pretty much given up on playing defense at this point in the game?
  5. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that. Love Sammy, but that was not his best series for decision-making there.
  6. Hopefully the old adage about the most improvement between week 1 and week 2 still holds. Much better opening game than against Maryland the last couple of years so far, but we still have some things to clean up on defense before LSU next week.
  7. I've long thought that Bradshaw was a complete meathead, and this game has done nothing to change my mind.
  8. Just caught the last few minutes of this game. Weird to see Mack in Carolina Blue again. But good on him, hope he does well at UNC.
  9. Just dropped by to point out: Kevin Sumlin seems like he kind of sucks.
  10. This. He gambled on McHugh and Peacock to carry us with starting pitching, and James to backfill the gap in the bullpen. Looks like he rolled snake eyes on that move.
  11. Apparently we're not very good at baseball this year.

  13. Good win against a quality team. Hook 'em! 8-3 in the regular season sure feels nice.
  14. I know this hurts to say, but Texas is NOT measurably better than Iowa State on defense this year in terms of talent. In fact, I would argue that quite possibly the opposite is true. Face it, accept it, and change it.
  15. Well this game was about as fun as a kick in the crotch.
  16. Clock management and play calling were horrendous, too, especially at the end. Let's see, we are down two scores with six minutes to go...yep, let's catch the ball inside the five and then run a clock-killing four minute drive for a touchdown. Whole lot of cranial-rectal syndrome on display in this game. Oh well. On to the next one.
  17. Sorry, can't blame this one on the officials. Our defense is playing like fetid sewage right now, and our offense apparently couldn't get laid in a Nevada whorehouse on an unlimited expense account. Pokes out to prove something tonight.
  18. Wasn't our best game, but I'm happy with the win. Shane was rusty but did just enough to get the win. Glad we get the bye next week to heal up...hope Sam's shoulder injury isn't too serious.
  19. Yes, please! (But I happen to live on the west coast, so I'm in the minority here...)
  20. Well I can think of a couple of good reasons: - Lock down the Houston TV market - Further buttress southeast Texas against the SEC invasion in Collie Station But personally, I don't really like the idea myself.
