  1. Remember how giddy they were at getting the higher ranked, nearly 5-star OL from Katy that season? And we had to settle for his teammate, the measly low 4 star/high 3 star? That one worked out about as well as everything works out for them and Hayden Connor is still on an NFL roster
  2. Bryce Foster, right? He was last seen graduating at KU, I believe. We definitely won our half of the Katy-Taylor duo from that year
  3. Zuhn is such a fucking goober. He's so emblematic of that whole fanbase. If I were a betting man (and Carson Beck/Mario Cristobal weren't involved), I would absolutely bet heavy on Miami.
  4. That was a Tom Herman ass 4th down call. Turrible
  5. I just remembered that I'm about 10 minutes behind because I paused it to cook dinner - but in my defense it was a really, really nice punt
  6. I see that now. Wow. This is the kind of snub that should get them delegitimized - or whatever the word you'd use for it is - as a major CFB award. This is just a really, REALLY awful decision on their part and it's based on a "rivalry" where their shitty school has lost more than 71% of the games. The folks in charge of the Burlsworth "award" should be fucking ashamed
  7. I'm not sure if this is the thread for this but there really isn't one so here goes: how the fuck has Michael Taaffe never won the Burlsworth Trophy (for outstanding former walk-on player). It's named after a player who went from walk-on to All American, something Taaffe LITERALLY DID. And yet, the 2024 winner was Bryce Boettcher from Oregon and the 2025 winner was the Mestemaker kid from UNT. They're both solid players, don't get me wrong, but more deserving of the "best walk-on award" than Taaffe?
  8. This is our concern, dude. If this article is true (and I'm skeptical), then there's virtually no way he doesn't get at least a mid first round grade, right? A 4.6 to 4.7 forty time at that size is alien shit. Still, though, he's definitely a freakish athlete but I'm having a hard time believe those numbers https://www.si.com/college/texas/football/texas-longhorns-trevor-goosby-reaches-freak-speeds-summer-workouts
  9. Between this shit and running his mouth last year, Zuhn is pretty goddamn dumb even for an aggy football, player and is probably going to need to continue to get his dick knocked in the dirt a few (more) times before learning to STFU. If he ever does
  10. I watched way less football than I normally would have this weekend - and I LOVE conference championship weekend and CFB generally. But the talking heads' deliberate refusal to talk about us and discuss even a ghost of a case for our inclusion was absolutely fucking rage inducing. Basically every time I turned a game on, I just wound up getting pissed off (although it was nice to see Bama get mushroom slapped and Duke win an ACC title In any case... FUCKING MIAMI???? The CFP committee is not a serious entity
  11. Agreed. I would think Hill, Mohammad, Campbell, and maybe Guilbeau (although I'm not sure I would do that if I was him) would think about it. Maybe McDonald and Burke, too? Taaffe will play because he's Taaffe. In any case, I don't expect to be able to take a whole hell of a lot away from this bowl game. Hopefully, some of the young guys show out
  12. Remember the huge hubbub this summer about how scheduling quality opponents and having a good strength of schedule was important to making the playoffs and that losses in those big OOC games wouldn't really hurt too much?
  13. buda91 has to be SO disappointed by all the responses that, although are still very much through maroon tinted glasses, were like "eh, they were fine." He clearly wants us to be tOSU fans so bad he can't stand it
  14. He went there for one reason and one reason only: Mack Brown evaluated him poorly and did not offer. I remember, way back when, seeing Miller's social media. It was ALL Texas stuff and he even made a post about how meeting Mack on campus was the greatest moment of his life at the time. Unfortunately, whatever happened at that meeting, it was not enough for Mack to offer. But, based on what I saw at the time, it seemed very clear to me that he'd have been a Longhorn if we'd offered. We did not and the rest is history
  15. Exactly. The main effect of leaving us out, despite clearly looking like a top 10 for the second half of the season, is that no one is going to schedule those tough OOC matchups early on which is going to hurt the sport as a whole
  16. Just a friendly reminder that Notre Dame, Miami, Tech, BYU, and Utah would all be VERY lucky to be 8-4 with Texas' schedule this season. I was looking over their schedules and they're pretty much just trash from top to bottom Nice to see that the committee is taking the newfound attention to strength of schedule they announced before the season started seriously.
  17. I just wanted to pop in a say that the media is not devoting NEARLY enough attention to just how spectacularly shitty Notre Dame's schedule was
  18. Kudos to Auburn for refusing to surrender no matter how many backbreaking mistakes they made or how doomed their situation was. But yeah, they're BAD and this should be every bit as embarrassing for Bama as UK was for us
  19. I totally agree. Unfortunately, we just happened to schedule 2 of them
  20. I guess I'm finally going to have to accept that depending on 3 of the worst teams I've seen this year - LSU, Auburn, and VA Tech - to win is not a good spot to be in.
  21. Is it possible for taking the points to simultaneously be the right decision and also waving the white flag?
