  1. Never heard of 13 0 Branding Iron? He was such a jinx, I was half way convinced he was a time traveler using his power to troll aggys.
  2. He basically did, back when his alma mater didn't get in a few years ago When Iconoclast Texan says "AAC" he really means "UH"
  3. I remember when that Punk terry bradshaw tried to claim he was the greatest football player to ever go to Polk High only for Al Bundy to put his ass back in its place.
  4. Goddamn, feels like Texas Football again
  5. I love when Ehlinger hits tight windows like that. He really can thread a needle.
  6. Ehlinger's first run of the season goes for a first down
  7. D holds and blocks a FG. About as good a start to the season as you could hope for.
  8. Eat shit Terry Bradshaw Old-ass loser
  9. 5/5 57 yards passing, 1 passing TD, 0 rushing 1 series stat for ehlinger

    yeah, but specifically, as someone who studied RTF at Texas, those first 40 seconds are exceptionally well edited. Like the opening shot of Ehlinger slowly looking to the right, which cuts to a home video of Ross Ehlinger where they cut a few frames before he's centered as Ehlinger's mom was panning to give a slight left-to-right motion while framing, so you mentally connect the image of Ehlinger looking into the stands and seeing memories of his father sitting there. The juxtaposition of shots, like him throwing up the horns at the RRS cutting to him as a kid throwing up the horns, then immediately to him loving his dad again. It tells a powerful story in less than a minute, with no real expositional narration, all through candid videos and a somber soundtrack. It does this in just 6 shots (7 cuts if we count the jump cut for time when Ehlinger is throwing up the horns as a kid), none of which were filmed at the time with any expectations of continuity, and it still works. It's a really good sequence. Really great stuff.

    no, but the ESPN machine was at full capacity back then, and they never talked him up outside of immediately after the '08 RRS. I expected the summer between 08 and 09 to be all about the rematch, but the talk never materialized. Meanwhile, they said that Ehlinger had the biggest crowd at the Big 12 media conference since Ricky Williams. Dude is a college mega star. They compare him to Tebow a lot on the TV, and from a media perspective that's great because the media loved Tim Tebow.

    I feel like Sam Ehlinger gets way more media love than Colt McCoy did. But while Colt McCoy had a perfect Texas QB name, Sam Ehlinger basically has a backstory out of a movie. And not Man of the House. The headlines they are writing for Sam are pretty fucking epic. "Destined to lead Texas to prominence," "Born for this job," etc. He's basically the Texas messiah right now.
