  1. Yeah, if Georgia had won, it would have been the four undefeated conference champions, and we'd be out. It's really crazy what the Bama win over Georgia meant for the Texas program. Had Georgia won the SEC, we'd be looking at a meaningless bowl, we'd have a TON of opt-outs, we'd be bitching about how the entire season slipped away on a last-second loss just like 2008. Instead, we're killing it on the recruiting trail, and we might have the best all-around sales pitch in the nation right now - a playoff team, NIL money, first-class academics, moving to the SEC, a coaching staff that's about to put a shit ton of guys into the NFL, etc.
  2. This. He starts each broadcast with calm, flowery, scripted praise for Texas. But if the game is tight in the 4Q, he excitedly reacts in an anti-Texas way to every single important play (score, spot of the ball, possession of the ball, penalty, etc).
  3. That fucking clip, man... Every year or so, I grab my keyboard and start typing, "I still cannot get my head around the fact that America elected this comically stupid buffoon to be president." All these people at his country club, just gleefully trying to capture this moment like they're 14-year old girls at a BTS concert - presumably those are wealthy and reasonably well-educated adults. And to see how joyful they are to be in his presence, like they're all trying to touch the hem of his garment, just soooo excited to cheer while he tells them demonstrably false lies... I still cannot get my head around it. Lately I just come back to the same conclusion/explanation: Propaganda works.
  4. I’m on a phone… not sure if this link will work: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/gold-bars-featured-bob-menendez-bribery-case-linked-2013-robbery-recor-rcna128006
  5. I had to work yesterday, and I couldn't watch the playoff selection show until today, and I'm right at the point where they interview Harbaugh. (let me pause here for context: I have generally rooted for Michigan, and I see them as a fellow top-flight public university) Paraphrasing just a little here: ESPN: "So, anyway, Jim, you got suspended for cheating, then you cheated some more, then you agreed to be suspended because you definitely have been cheating a long time, and also you were concurrently cheating while also running a ring of cheating cheaters. And you've had to miss a bunch of games this year. First, for cheating. Again, for more cheating. And now, you're ranked number one. How does that feel?" (and now, this is verbatim) Harbaugh: (points fingers upward). "Yeah, thanks to God, first. It's been, uh.... He's had his hand on this team the entire year. It's been a spiritual journey for us, so uh, all thanks, all thanks to God and our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ." (Really. He said that.)
  6. How 'bout Texas plays FSU with our 3rd string QB just to make it fair?
  7. This game now features a combined 19 points and 18 punts.
  8. 1. Penix would be the best qb we've played all year 2. They'd be perfectly happy to throw it 50-60 times 3. Our safeties are just kind of average We might beat them, but they're not a great matchup for us
  9. "This has been a dominating performance by the Florida State defense!" Total yards 169 to 159
  10. FSU opens second half with 1 yard on three plays, and a punt.
  11. Best case for us is: 1. Washington 2. Michigan 3. Texas 4. Bama I don't want any part of Washington in the first round
  12. Yeah, hard to feel bad for him.
  13. Florida State is gonna finish the first quarter with 3 yards of offense. 3.
  14. The pro-SEC crowd is suddenly forced to be pro-Texas, since their champ got an ass kicking by the Big 12's champ. They're all suddenly ready to fuck over undefeated Florida State
  15. Weird how the elephant in the room is a Longhorn.
  16. His clown-show anti-Texas antics for YEARS have earned him every bit of derision he gets today
  17. Let’s see if he hands us the trophy like a man, or bitches out in some way.
  18. I want to call plays like we’re in a beauty contest
  19. Gotta score fast if we’re gonna get 42 in first half
