  1. I'd think the priority of a corrupt SEC is getting the most teams into the playoffs, not the seeding. If A&M rolls into Austin 11-0, they will be in the playoffs regardless. An 8-3 Texas would need the win to be a possible bottom seed. Bama, Georgia, and Ole Miss should be locks unless any of them get upset in their rivalry game and turnaround and lose the SEC championship game.
  2. This morning was the first time this year I've looked at pointless early mock drafts. It's infuriating seeing the Rams hold the Falcons' top 10 pick. Rams trade #26 pick with a 3rd rounder to ATL for #46, 7th rounder and 2026 1st rounder. We traded #25 to NYG for #34, a late 3rd, and 2026 3rd rounder. The 2026 Giants' 1st rounder is currently #2/3 pick...
  3. Fubo has been fine for me. I really enjoyed watching the Vandy game on the alternate SEC channel as the "Madden" view/stadium cam with no play by play dudes. You can actually hear the PA announcer and the sounds/music.
  4. I think Alzheimer's is a better description than death. It's been on 30+ year gradual decline, doesn't resemble its old self, but you occasionally get glimpses of past glories.
  5. My brother is not very social, so maybe it was not surprising he took a full ride to UTD over minimal scholarship McCombs business school, 2005-2009. I visited him once. Maybe they have improved the campus experience, but it had the aesthetics of an east german business park. He has kept up with zero friends and classmates from his time there.
  6. They gave Davis Mills a raise before the season started because they thought he was a capable backup 🤦‍♂️
  7. Sky cast on SEC Network is very enjoyable.
  8. Did they also reboot Sark’s and transfer in some better blockers?
  9. Liberal interpretation of “lodged”
  10. Locker room janitor for the Cowboys is an “NFL job.”
  11. It would allow me to get more drinking done on the way to and from Longhorn games.
  12. Which of the policies have people the most riled up, besides that the Trump administration came up with them? I can see people not agreeing with elimination of DEI, supporting trans sports, or wanting more foreign students and "anti-conservative" content in classrooms, but I don't see any as turning higher education into a "wasteland." This thread is 98% bitching about Texas accepting or rejecting it and not much discussing the compact itself and how it will turn Texas into a joke of a university unable to educate students. It seems these universities could take the money, interpret and enforce the terms as they want, and the worst case is the Trump team doesn't like it and pulls the preferential funding status which the universities lose anyway by not accepting. Eliminate DEI in hiring and admissions and make them based on merit 5 year tuition freeze, and make STEM education tuition-free for "non-wealthy" students Cap foreign student enrollment to save more spots for American students Limit sports participation to biological sex While professors can voice their "anti-conservative" views off the clock, keep it out of classroom curriculum Prevent protests intended to disrupt classroom and study areas Receive preferential status in federal grant funding
  13. I hope you wore your Scott Hatteberg jersey.
  14. If we end up in draft position to get a good QB, would someone give us 3 first rounders for CJ? How is this season any different? They keep signing washed busts and burning midround picks on OL. It's been this way since Caserio got here.
  15. ["you never played the game/position" card]: A lot of keyboard warriors treat football like it's a Madden game. There is a psychological and physical toll of taking a beating that doesn't show up in the video game. Arch has missed badly on a several open receivers when he appeared to have time. When more often then not he does not have time and is going to take a hit, he's probably assuming he's about to get crushed on every throw while his head, arms, and legs are getting beat down as the game goes on. The OL playing better is necessary for its obvious purpose, but it also gives the QB confidence to see open receivers, step in and make a good pass. Our OL gets no push on run plays and is typically a sieve on pass blocking.
  16. No shit. On any given play, it seems 2-3 OL don’t block. We never blow people off the ball on run plays. Arch expects to get hit every time he drops back.
  17. Maybe they can use AI to give every possible alternate ending, including one where the Night King wins and turns Cersei and Daenerys into his zombie concubines.
  18. Mateer’s going to play?
  19. A real MAGA movement would be to eliminate the middle men in major industries such as healthcare, real estate, autos, student loans, etc. that siphon money for "services" that could be eliminated or replaced.
  20. Yeah, PA doesn't work when you can't effectively run the ball.
  21. Hopefully he doesn't adopt the Belichick strategies.
  22. Have we been able to consistently run between the tackles since Mackovic and Ricky Williams? We've had a lot of 4/5 star backs and several made it to the NFL, but it seems like a 25 year theme of soft ass zone blocking and hoping the RB can find a crease and make a play on his own. Greg Davis, Shawn Watson, Tim Beck, Sark... The years when we had dynamic running threats at QB (VY, Colt, Sam), it was enough to keep defenses off balance and the RBs were able to find more of those creases.
  23. I’m somewhat chuckling about this. 10 years ago we were misled by the developers that all of Mueller was zoned to Maplewood elementary and McCallum hs. We figured out that we were just east of a dividing line after plunking down a big deposit so we just rolled with it. There was such hypocrisy of people preaching to “east Muellerites” to happily send their kids to Blanton and Reagan/NE, while being uppity about their kids’ schools (or if they had money, sending their kids to private schools). Maplewood (and maybe McCallum) were too full to accept transfers so we were stuck. We ended up bailing to the burbs when our kids started school. Now the west muellerites can practice what they preached.
