  1. Most episodes of all these Star Wars Disney+ series seem to be about 10 minutes too short. We wait two years for the next installment, and get 6-8 short episodes. [exception IMO is Andor and a few Mandalorian episodes]

    Bert!

    We should bring in another kicker next season regardless of the next game(s), but it wouldn't surprise me if we had a Rodney Terry situation where you "have to" bring him back if he makes a clutch kick in the championship game.
  3. We’re just cheering for multiple second half targeting ejections now, right?

    Bert!

    It would be a sign of making an effort if he rolled out in Cotton Bowl with a buzz cut. Might actually be enough to reboot his psyche.
  5. The haircut is pretty on point for Guy Gardner, but why is he like 60 years old???
  6. NFL coaches have contracts, and if they attempt to move there is required compensation (e.g. Belichick with Jets, Gruden with Raiders, Payton with Saints). NFL players have contracts (yes they can hold out or demand trades, but the latest CBA stiffened penalties on holdouts, and the players will lose pay). NCAA coaches have contracts as well. None of these 3 groups are free to quit on their team midseason and go hunting for the highest bidder. The current state of NCAA player free agency could use revision (make direct pay or NIL as multi year contracts, bring back the rule of sitting out a year if you transfer, limiting players to one transfer per 4 years, or some other better plan). It’s hard to build cohesive and consistent programs with this level of annual roster turnover. And why is “college” football still associated with universities when student athlete is now a farce? This is probably not the point of your exchange. Apologies for the tangent.
  7. Putting R&D in the hands of universities rather than (mostly) private for-profit companies with patent protection? This reminds of the former NSF director’s quote that more or less said “if the NIH had been put in charge of treating polio, the US would’ve developed the best iron lung in the world, but never a polio vaccine.”
  8. Who cares if you define this offense as “pro style.” Every offense prefers to run the ball if the run game is working. Spurrier’s Fun’n’Gun and Urban’s spread offenses both produced a lot of rushing yards and NFL caliber running backs. It’s how you control the clock and grind opponents down. But when the run game is ineffective, elite QBs can put the team on their back. Quinn is more of an excellent bus driver to guide the offense as long as things are going well. As long as Quinn is our QB, we collectively hold our breath that the run game works and/or we get up multiple scores on our opponents so we don’t need a transcendent QB to go win the game in the 4th quarter.
  9. Probably because Mack is a greater threat to the program’s future than the next couple games by Quinn.
  10. Rasputin was just hanging around to support in an unofficial capacity.
  11. The NFL will jump on banning that before players start repping sponsorships or political messages. Clever and awesome for Jordan though.
  12. I'm disappointed to read anyone supports Mack returning to the program in any form besides a fan who purchases his own ticket. As many have said, you should always measure risk vs. reward. The reward....maybe he helps NIL fund raising and completely reverses his personality from who we learned he was and adds positive morale? The risks are too numerous to count, the chief being that his ego can't stand someone else looking better than him and he will passive aggressively (or just aggressively behind the scenes) do little things to start the rot on Sark's program. Super worst case, he pulls the Jay Leno in hopes that Texas asks him to coach again after Sark. Mack was outstanding at recruiting from 1999-2008 and the conservative coaching style was enough for superior talent to win 10 games a year. His inability to beat OU created the national perception that Texas is a paper tiger that persists today and will until we win another championship and beat top 10 teams on the reg. He gets way too much credit for the one national championship, when his contributions were 1) being talked into recruiting VY when he initially didn't want to, and 2) "letting Vince be Vince" aka not fucking it up. VY was the outlier. Mack got lazy in recruiting or the rest of the world caught up, and the wheels fell off. Then he torched the place on his way out the door. He wasn't a martyr for whom fans should feel sorry. He probably made over $30m while coaching and we paid him $3.25m when we fired him. We owe him nothing.
  13. He’s not getting divorced, he just ran out of marriage.
  14. The scenic nature of Arkansas is far more diverse than its citizens’ gene pool.
  15. If Bregman is the latest Boras client who missed on a long contract and takes a one year prove it deal with a player option for second year, why not do it with the Astros? Just pride, not wanting to let your old team know they were right? Is it worse than taking the same deal with Detroit or Toronto? Can Paredes play OF?
  16. Michael Strahan makes Greg Gumbel look like Stephen A. Smith.
  17. This is right. Quinn is the best Texas QB since Colt graduated. He is very accurate when he has time to throw (off his back foot) and can execute a game plan when things stay on schedule. When things start getting shaky, so does he. With VY or Colt, you assumed a second half lead meant the win was in the bag, and you had faith we’d comeback if we trailed in the 4th. With Quinn, we usually build a lead early and try not to choke it away in the second half. I get an ulcer if we aren’t up by 14+, and have little faith in Quinn if we fall behind in the 4th. Hell, if we were down 4 with 2:00 left, I might take Sam Ehlinger over Quinn to be the man and will his team to the end zone. (I am prepared for longhornlover, thatguy, and the rest of the white knights to throw out some more stats proving Quinn is the most clutch QB in NCAA history….) I’m obviously rooting for him, but I’ll be happy to move on to Arch next season for his more diverse skill set.
  18. Spent a 2nd round pick for a couple games of Diggs, Tank may never play again, and we made Tunsil and Howard grossly overpaid while waiting on Kenyon Green’s contract to expire. Our pets heads are falling off.
  19. Santa is new to Xbox/PS gaming and brought an xbox series S (apparently can’t play physical games) and a physical copy of Madden 25 🤦‍♂️ On a related note, hit me up with a DM on advice if Santa should exchange the xbox Series S 512gb for 1TB or a Series X.
  20. The worst case scenario is Marcus Lattimore from South Carolina. Top 10 pick to never playing another snap (luckily for him, SF burned a 4th rounder on him and he probably made ~$1m before being cut). At least Tank still has a PCL and hopefully no nerve damage, but I’d guess it’s more likely he never plays again than he does.
