You clearly don’t know much about football if you can’t understand why success rate is far more important than win/loss record when ranking teams.

Oh come on. There's lots of football yet to be played and there are no weekends off in the mighty S-E-C!!!* *Am I doing this right???

Hey man, my eyes are nearly fifty years old, I was sitting in the stratosphere in section 105, and was 4 margs and 5 beers deep at the time. Can we all just agree I pretty much have a photographic memory?

We actually threw a deep ball early in the first quarter (2nd drive?) that resulted in a DPI call. Our receiver (maybe Bond?) was covered but it got us 15 yards, sadly making it one of our most successful plays of the game. Would have been good to throw deep more to at least try to keep their D honest instead of just letting them jump the shorts routes and hammer our guys on screens. For the record, it was under thrown and we got the PI call as our receiver slowed and came back for the ball.

Right, but in that instance didn’t he rob his own bank, and the teller recognized him since he’d been there several times before?

I made it to the fairgrounds but couldn’t find the stadium. While waiting in line for a corn dog an aggy overheard me asking for directions. All the self-centered, uppity Longhorn fans ignored my plea, but fortunately this kind, service-minded aggy offered to help. Not only did he give me directions but he went above and beyond by actually walking me there. As the game went on I thought about his kindness, the spirit of aggyland, and couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like if aggy was taking the field yesterday. In hindsight I’m glad they didn’t, because if they did I honestly think I might have found myself rooting for them.

Just reading this question gave me PTSD to the time the entire UT sideline was screaming at David Ash to lay down, only to have him stare back at them for about 20 seconds in a state of concussed confusion until Mack finally had to call a timeout. As socceresque as it appeared, Ewers absolutely did the right thing.

Correct. Both academically and now in baseball, aggy is our "farm system".

The clear loser in tonight’s debate is the American public.

They’ve done this multiple times now. WTF?!?

So no further explanation or commentary from the broadcast booth? We’re just moving on? What is the rule in that situation?

I think you’re mixing up Ovie with Overshown. Overshown wears lots of armbands. He also records lots of tackles and we do indeed have to play him.

That's a great but long listen. Key takeaway, loosely quoted: "Running out of stinger missles is like a bar running out of Bud Light. It's probably an inconvenience for someone, but there are plenty of alternatives and almost all of them are better."

This keeps getting repeated but it is inaccurate. Security assurances can mean a lot of things. In the Budapest Memorandum the security assurance basically meant "we will respect your sovereignty and will not attack you". That's a lot different than "we will defend you".

First thought on the “twist” is when the Chinese government references “territorial integrity” they’re reiterating they believe Taiwan is and should be part of China.
