  1. 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.
  2. Well this game was about as fun as a kick in the crotch.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. #errbody
  6. 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.
  7. Yes, please! (But I happen to live on the west coast, so I'm in the minority here...)
  8. 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.
  9. Dumping Baylor and adding Houston would make the most logical sense here. But damn, trips to New Orleans every other year would be a blast.
  10. Not saying this is incorrect, but this doesn't make any sense to me. If you didn't want to have to fire your brother, then why would you hire him in the first place? At every place I've ever worked, having a direct family member as a subordinate would be considered a conflict of interest. But yeah, this is 0U, so it sort of makes sense now. WTF was I thinking, applying logic to this situation?
  11. I'm good with Sam. Would love to see him develop a bit more accuracy on his passes, but hopefully that will come with continued development. He has cut down on the costly mistakes and turnovers over the last few games, which is good progress. I love his leadership and poise, and the "take the loss, pussy" jab at Murray when Murray was being a bitchy little princess after the game was awesome. He is a true orangeblood, through and through.
  12. Lincoln Riley switched your car insurance away from GEICO and pocketed the extra 15%.
  13. Oklahoma sucks Mullets, no teeth, pornstaches Trans Ams are on blocks
  14. Fuck yeah. Bring the hate, baby. All is right with the world again, at least for a week.
  15. Color Me Badd If they were before your time, consider yourself fortunate.
  16. Ugly win, but I'll gladly take it against the Purple Wizard in Manhattan. Sure wish we would have showed up better in the second half, though. Nice to be 4-1 at this point going into blowU week, for a change.
  17. Not afraid of the purple kitties, but it is good to have a healthy dose of respect for them. They are fundamentally sound and generally well-coached, and they will capitalize if an opponent beats itself with turnovers and stupid penalties. The Purple Wizard is a legend. If the Texas team who beat USC and TCU shows up, I expect good things for the Longhorns. If the Texas team who lost to Maryland and nearly lost to Tulsa shows up, it could be a long day. My biggest fear is that this could be a trap game, don't get caught looking ahead to 0U.
  18. Between UCLA's struggles and the Condoms' meltdown this year, it must be some pretty lean times to be a college football fan in SoCal these days. Oh well, at least you have the weather going for you out there.
  19. I'll take mine fried with a side of tabasco, please. Yummy, delicious crow. Good call, o faithful one.
  20. Good job, Texas! Let's build on this now.
  21. So I called my pops at halftime to wish him a happy birthday, and we were up 16-14. We get to talking for a while, and then I come back in the room at the start of the fourth quarter, and we're now up 37-14? Dayyyyum. I'll have to rewatch the third quarter now. Guess I should leave the room more often when Texas is playing.
  22. Winning is hard.
  23. Does anything you've seen over the last 13 months give you any reason to believe the results in 2-4 years will be any different? I want Herman to succeed, but at the moment, the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.
  24. Watching Arkansas get thumped by a directional school in Texas is...borderline erotic.
