  1. Fucking hypocrites. Unbelievable.
  2. And yes, I remember this Rams-Vikings game. I didn't see it on TV because it was blacked out in L.A., so I had to listen to Dick Enberg on the radio. That was pretty normal back then-- Rams home games were rarely on local TV because the Coliseum held 100,000 people back then.
  3. The turf at the Coliseum looked perfect during the Rams' season finale against San Francisco, but it looks like it's raining in L.A. right now. Could be sloppy out there!
  4. I am so pumped for this game. I grew up in LA and lived and died with the Rams, but we moved to Texas in '79 and I became a Cowboys fan as well. Still rooted for the Rams, but that ended when they went to St. Louis. Well, now that they're back in LA (and often wearing those glorious '70s-'80s uniforms), I can't help but root for them again. I'll be pulling for Dallas tonight, but the whole idea of Rams-Cowboys in the playoffs IN THE L.A. MEMORIAL COLISEUM is just too much for my brain to process...
  5. Dickson loves Texas!!
  6. She and her husband sit in front of me at home games. They are great people and have an adorable son named Texas. Texas was very excited to see his mom perform during the Alumni band show this year.
  7. RC Slocun would be proud of you, coach Petersen.
  8. Thank God. When your two favorite teams are Texas and UCLA, you might understand why I have hidden under a rock for most of this hoops season.
  9. I think you just answered your own question when you said, "I guess I really haven't paid attention."
  10. Yeah, after seeing this I decided to hold off on buying through the Foundation. I'd likely get uppers anyways so might as well spend less money.
  11. Fuck yeah.
  12. Jesus Christ, OU-- alternate uniforms? WHEN YOU"RE PLAYING TEXAS? Fuck you. Save that shit for Baylor.
  13. If we lose a close one to OU, I'd be shocked if the committee dropped us below WVU. We finished 2nd in the conference and they finished 4th. Sure, we'd have one more loss than they do but we will have played TWO more games (remember, their game against a decent NC State team was cancelled). Then again, this committee smokes crack so who knows? Let's just win and we won't have to sweat any of this.
  14. I have hit the bourbon. It's 12:35 pm.
  15. I 100% agreed with what McVay did on that second-to-last possession. He did NOT want to give the ball back to Mahomes with a minute left, which is what would have happened if they had run it three straight times. And who can blame him after watching this shit? He knew one first down on any play would essentially clinch it, and the yardage was there on the 2nd down play but the Chiefs defender made a nice play on the ball. In the end, the Chiefs got the ball back with about 6 extra seconds and a timeout that they wouldn't have had. Of course, it all worked out anyways but I liked the idea. Incredible game.
  16. I'm a lifelong Dodgers fan. My grandpa was the original radio engineer for Vin Scully & Jerry Doggett when the Dodgers moved to LA. My mother went out on a date with Sandy Koufax. I moved to Texas in 1979 and became a huge Ranger fan, and have followed both teams fanatically ever since. That means my teams have lost 4 of the last 9 World Series. Fuck me.
  17. Now sure, if they make the extra point it doesn't matter. But extra points aren''t automatic in the NFL anymore. If they miss it, it's an 8-point game and Green Bay has a chance. Gurley's play guaranteed a victory,
  18. WHAT? He goes down short of the goal, they take a knee on 1st down, and the Rams win. He scores, and you give Aaron Rodgers a full minute to possibly tie the score. That was a brilliant play. Gurley and Sean McVay give zero shits about fantasy numbers and point spreads. I'm pretty sure McVay called that time out to tell his team NOT to score if the Packers let them.
  19. Dodger Stadium is absolute perfection.

    Always loved PJ. This only makes me love him more.
  21. Both Andy Staples (SI) and Stewart Mandel (The Athletic) have us at #6. I'm not making that up.
  22. Today will be the first time (since the formation of the Big 12) that I haven't been in Manhattan for a UT game. If we win, I guess you can blame me for our 20 years of suck (although I WAS there to see us win in 2002, so it's not 100% my fault). I can still remember my first trip to Rusty's in '98- the Shiner Bocks were $2 and we drank ALL of them. And for some reason, Jackyl was playing outside as a street party. Sadly, I saw no chainsaws. Hey, that was Major's first start! Fuck I'm old.
  23. I agree-- they can claim it all they want. I'm just saying that their claim would have a little more validity with a road win at a traditional power 5 team under their belts.
  24. You know what drives me nuts about UCF claiming a title last year? They were actually supposed to play the Horns in Austin, but they asked us to push it back to 2023 (which was also recently cancelled when we scheduled Alabama). I know we were the definition of mediocre last year, but a road win against Texas certainly would have helped their playoff cause. I've never heard ANYONE mention the fact that they cost themselves a big potential resume boost.
