Would love to see all levers pulled to bail the B12 after this season. Lay the groundwork to clear up some of our OOC schedule (incl. noted SEC matchups) for potential home-and-homes with some of the R8. Leverage the value of those open spots (both for the individual R8 teams that would get a spot and the B12's future network value) to whip up necessary votes for a negotiated early exit. Seems like we don't have many other bargaining chips as things stand.

Give the QBs a mic'ed helmet like the NFL has done for almost 30 years. Problem solved.

Yup. Also....

This post has been up for an hour and not a single neg? Surly is soft or slacking.

We took Bama to the wire. If we build on that performance, continue to improve in key areas and hold it together while Ewers it out, anything is possible.

To say nothing about the idiotic Card vs. Wright debate, "the goal" is win out and exact revenge on Bama in the CFP. So, this game means something. Get on board motherfuckers.

I hope Casey never reads this thread. He doesn't deserve to cast his eyes upon surly-curated funbags.

Thompson is the antithesis of QBs like Vince and Ehlinger. Depending on who you talk to, locker-room cancer (at worst) or significant distraction (at best). Falls apart at crunch time on the field, unable to take a team on his shoulders and drag them to a victory. Looks externally to excuse poor play, whether it be injuries, coaching staff or otherwise, then uses media mouthpieces to message publicly. Lacks confidence in his abilities: would rather move three states away than face a QB competition. And last but not least, a Husker with Sooner blood. Fuck em.

Profile photo checks out.

I had the same issue/concern and ended up calling DTV customer service. The agent confirm that LHN is available in Texas with the Choice package (or above). The explanation I got for LHN not showing up in the regional channel search (where you input zip) was that the search is only meant to turn up county-specific programming, whereas LHN is a "statewide" channel (so they view as being in a different bucket). Clearly they don't feel the need to advertise it.

Bump. Is it still true that DirectTV Stream carries LHN? Some old articles and forum discussions mention LHN is available as a region-specific (Texas) channel on DirectTV Stream. However, when I just checked the regional channels for my zip code directly on the DirectTV Stream website, LHN does not show up on the list (AT&T Sports and Bally do). So, I’m thinking DirectTV might have dropped LHN at some point recently.

To be fair, the Huskers just played an entire game while taking a giant shit, and posted it to a national broadcast.

10/10, would fap to again

Congrats on the big promotion, Dean! You were one of my favorite profs. Pretty cool that you hang with surly degens during your down time.

I've refrained from piling in with herd on mocking your pessimism, but holy shit, man. The substance of your conclusions boils down to "things have been bad in the past," "we lost games last season we shouldn't have" and "therefore, we are doomed to eternal mediocrity." No matter the topic at hand. You are clearly more intelligent and articulate than the ATM fan base, but your mindset is only a couple chromosomes away from "tu hasn't done shit since 2009," "lol 5-7," and "oh, the sips got a two 5-star QBs? Have fun losing to Kansas for forever!" In other words, you camp with aggie in responding to any optimism or positive data point re UT with negativity supported by history - history that in many cases is not determinative of the subject at hand. Will history continue to rhyme? Maybe. I don't know and hope not. What I do know is I'd rather make my experience as a fan as positive and enjoyable as it can be under the circumstances, which means viewing through the lens of optimism. That UT can free itself from recent history, throw it in a river and watch it as it floats under bridges and out of sight.

Do you 'member when there was a horde of surly posters adamant about the fact that Charlie was guaranteed another year after the 2016 season? Do you 'member some of them sticking to that position even after his loss to Kansas? I 'member. Just saying, you get AT MOST a one-Kansas mulligan as HFB at Texas (it's still discouraged), and in general do not underestimate this program's willingness to cut bait on a coach if there is a bed shitting of epic proportion. There is no truly "guarantee" term, unsigned 5-stars and narratives be damned.

You hear that? It's weeks of pressure spewing out of the football board and the universe shifting into harmony. A harmony where surly posters can join together in celebrating one of the few uncontroversial topics and storied pastimes of this community: shitting on $9.95ers. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Live look at @closetohumping after narrowly escaping a run-in with @closetojumping at Atlanta airport Priority Pass lounge.

As much as I hope my preferred QB is anointed starter, if Sark is putting out trial balloons and open to tailoring his choice based on reception of the media and internet fanbase, that is a red flag.

With that trajectory, only has to wait a decade to join Hamm and friends in the 6-fig club.

Sark really overlooked the need for talent in a critical area of the recruiting department.

Better get used to being disappointed for many offseasons to come, bucko.
