  1. Many of them claimed last summer on TexAgs that they 'had a better QB room than Texas.'
  2. Actually, Weigman is the backup. Or maybe the other one is the backup. Or maybe Weigman was the backup, but now he is the starter, but might be the backup starter?
  3. I wonder what makes a late bloomer a success? Here are some obvious reasons below. Any others? Growing into strength and speed Super work effort Getting lucky to play for the right team, coaches, scheme, etc If you remember, D'Onta Foreman was an afterthought, as his brother was the considered the real prize recruit. D'Onta came out of nowhere.
  4. Now that I learned Sark and Cher, (of all people) have the same last name, I asked Ai if they are related: No, Steve Sarkisian and Cher are not related. Sarkisian is of Armenian and Irish ancestry, and his father was Iranian-Armenian. This makes no sense to me, so I found this in an article: Steve Sarkisian and pop icon Cher share the same surname, as the pop icon's full name is Cherilyn Sarkisian. Over the years, this has led some fans on Twitter to wonder about a possible connection between the football coach and the musician, however, there is no evidence to suggest the two are related.
  5. Just saying, that if Quinn lights up the scoreboard this Saturday, you're going to want my official Surly Horns Quinn Ewers autographed football even more. We will auction it here after the season, with the winning bid donated.
  6. Serious question for the know-it-alls: How did Ashton Jeanty get away from the state and end up at Boise State? I watched highlights and he looks amazing. Was he not heavily recruited? Looks like he was a star at football and track at Lone Star. And he was a wide receiver in HS? Is he just one of those late-bloomers?
  7. Oldies but faves
  8. Wait, what? You can't be serious. TEXAS A&M HAS THE BEST LOSS, PERIOD. THERE WAS EVEN AN ARTICLE ABOUT IN THE ECONOMIST.
  9. And add on a few more thousand to Jimbo too, just for good luck. I'll never get over Jimbo being run out of town! PLEASE come back!!!
  10. Been listening to Sooner YouTubers. They are more upset about this year's loss than the 49-0 loss, which they blame on the QB injury. This year, they are perplexed about why the offense is so hopeless. To their credit, they don't give themselves a break for the WR injuries and they even cite Texas injuries. They rightly claim that the offense has no identity, and nothing builds on what they just did, and wonder why it seems very unimaginative, and needlessly complex. They also seem to greatly admire Sark's play calling. Another theme is that BV better make changes to his staff or it's gonna be bye-bye.
  11. Congrats to you and your daughter! Well done to her!
  12. My favorite posts on SEC message boards are Alabama fans saying they're thankful not to be Vanderbilt fans or grads cause the team isn't good. Okay.
  13. I wonder if his lawyer could argue that assaulting a Commander's fan could get him a reduced sentence?
  14. If Gavrilo Princip hadn't assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 and sparked World War I, the Unites States might never have taken advantage of the power vacuum created by the Great War, and never evolved into an international power with a huge population growth, which might have meant that Colt's parents had never been born, and then Colt would not have played in the '06 game at all, which Texas would then have lost handily.
  15. The play calling looks improved this season. The defense is pretty good. The only ranked team they face is #20 Pittsburgh, but should meet Miami in the ACC championship.
  16. Cade Klubnik has definitely improved this season: 17 TD's 1528 yds 2 INT's 4 running TD's QBR - 88.3 Georgia shut him down pretty well, but he's much better this year, and isn't making dumb turnovers.
  17. The people saying they want Arch to start are the same people who wanted Quinn replaced by Maailk Murphy because of some passes he threw in a Spring game.
  18. Agreeing w @Huckleberry here. It sure looked like their problems are much deeper than injuries. BV is responsible for the horrible mess at QB. Do we even really know why Dillon Gabriel left the program? Aside from Farook, what other offensive players really scared you? They sure seem like a mess.
  19. From DirtBurglers "Bob and Joe C are the ones to blame for this current mess. They are the ones that passed on Dan Lanning so that they could hire their buddy. Did anyone watch the Oregon name last night and say to themselves, “man, I’m glad OU hired BV over Dan Lanning?” sooner0017
  20. The hatred the OU fans on DirtBurglers are sharing for their offensive coordinator is pretty fun right now.
  21. Was also wondering how long their tolerance for BV will be. For two out of the three years, his teams vs Texas have been pretty terrible. How on earth can a program like OU field teams with a hopeless offense? I've never seen an OU team with so little firepower.
  22. I'm sticking w my list of '17 QB's I'd rather have than Dak Prescott,' @'stache
