  1. Texas 46 TCU 39 641 passing yards My own prop bet We have two 4 minute drives in one game! whoohooo!
  2. Basically the defense is burdened by the inability of the offense to sustain scoring drives for more than 3-4 minutes... for a " long drive." I did a quick look at the box scores and found several scoring drives over 4 minutes. But only two scoring drives the whole season more than 5 minutes. against ULM a 5:22 drive, and a 6:12 drive to close out ISU. I love the long ball, but fuck we got dinked to fucking death by both Tech and Okie State. Run the ball and throw a bunch of sandlot 6-11 yard passes, and let our athletes produce and POSSESS offensively. When the other teams offense is good and runs a shit ton of plays, our defense suffers. This shit is not rocket science. Dumb down the offense to throw underneath, and run the damn ball. A Possession underneath passing and run games opens up the deep pass anyhow. Plus the advantage of a dink and run offense is you can go no sub and keep their defense on the field and tiring. Perhaps even more importantly, this team still has a fragile psyche. Sustain drives and eat clock. That's how you win games. Two fucking drives the entire season more than 5 minutes? That's not dominating football. It simply isn't. And we have the fucking tools!!!! Just be happy with first downs, rather than explosive 20+ yard plays. They explosive plays will come, IF you pound them with the run and tosses underneath. down off soap box....
  3. While I think we can all debate the ins and outs of caloric ecstasy. But I think we can all (perhaps) agree on one thing. This thread should be sponsored by, and have pop up advertising rights exclusive to....
  4. First off early voting for me was relatively painless, as I can go whenever I want. I live in Austin. I also know that it is amazingly easy to vote in rural areas in comparison to urban areas. Especially on election day. So there is a built in advantage that they GOP tries to build on by trying to limit access in urban areas. (The laws may say they are for another reason, but that's the ultimate outcome, as well as the desired one). On a brighter note. It took nearly all my will power to not ask the 4 ladies who were manning the station if they new anyone who had a bunch of Gnomes in their yard, as I thanked them for volunteering. But since it was only a few minutes after 7 am, I resisted. Otherwise I was going to say, "Do you guys know anybody that has some Gnomes in their yard?" No matter the response, would have replied, "We should gather up some of these finger condoms and sprinkle them in their yard. Make it look like the Gnomes has a wild party!" 7 am was just too early for such rapier wit. Go out and vote, and try and save us from fascism, fact free and responsibility free public service the GOP is selling.
  5. Texas 37 K-State 34 58 plays 42 long
  6. A question for all the Football Historians out there. When was the last time the Aggies did not fuck themselves in the ass with a long term coaching contract extension? IS the answer R.C. Slocum? He got like three years into a 7 year contract before getting canned. Forget that question... just pause and for a second think about the fun that was occasionally hearing "Slocum on a Mobile," on the radio.
  7. A couple things I will since my wife's father passed recently. She is a long term care pharmacist so she has connections to different facilities, and has been around the industry for years. It's different when they are dying. Like most things in life you get better with experience, and our parent is our first experience. So you have no idea WTF you are doing in a very emotional state. The biggest smart thing we did was get hospice involved. Simply as they have experience and you do not. She was on the way to making some decisions as the lead in her family, which the hospice nurse helped guide her. Sometimes they rally. Sometimes they rally to see a certain relative, or after having some visitors. It's not a straight downward decline and having the hospice folks tell you what they think the time span is helps narrow dramatically. There were also a lot of other advantages of Hospice related to supplies like depends as I recall. But mainly having an "expert" at death to guide you, was especially helpful. The other thing that was surprising was that some nursing facilities did not have the ability to administer morphine for end of life care. You can have a family member administer. It's a question to consider when choosing a nursing facility.
  8. I think Kanye is basically is a Black Republican. Who honestly did not realize he was Black...
  9. OK week, good week, shit week, very good week, not so good week, so this is a GOOD WEEK! Texas 43 Okie State 37 37 - 339
  10. Thought I would put up the bookend Sun rise to your sunset MIA if that Was the Saturday we crushed OU! About to shoot back down tomorrow, and try to catch a low wind day in the surf. Will probably actually go to Shorty's this go round since I am solo. But looks like it's gonna get windy as shit so may just boomerang back to Austin if the fish stop biting. Missed the pig party due to a combination of the Sunrise below, jack Daniels, and the slaughter of the Dirt Burglers.
  11. Shit the transition process was only one thing. Get rid of as much factual evidence of the Trump administrations communications as possible. There is a reason the Trump administration avoided allowing the American people to have ANY RECORD AT ALL of their communications. They were totally and completely corrupt, and in public service only for personal gain and not at all for the American people. Of course the same folks so concerned about Hunter Biden, don't care about Jared Kushner and Trump hiding their communications, and the Familiy recieving TWO BILLION FUCKING DOLLARS!!!! Anyhow as I have said for a while. Without misinformation, lies and racism, what has the GOP left to sell?
  12. Sorry about the clearly CR post on the Football Board regarding Farve.  I was drunk, and thought I WAS in the cloakroom.  

  13. I know it seems silly to cut off voter registration a month before the election, but the last thing the GOP wants is greater voter participation. So the barrier is in place. So if you are not currently registered and desire to exercise your right to vote, today is the cutoff for registration.
  14. I think I can confidently say that OU is 100% down on offense. And 49% down on defense...
  15. Texas brings power Sooner fans start to cower Pain for every hour
  16. Just got back so here's what I saw. Beach is wider and scoured from the storm surge far beyond the normal Port Aransas groomed beached. Wind was still up and the storm surge was still receding. But nice and flat with a 10 mph breeze this AM. Seems to be back to more a traditional off season crowd but slightly more crowded than pre-covid from my observation. Water was clear and the reds are in the surf, as had already likely been reported. I guess the best gauge of the crowd was that we got in about 4 and put our name on the La Playa list. Missed our call, but still got seats on the porch, so the wait list did not fill the restaurant. And it's so nice to have just a couple degrees scrubbed off in the evenings. Anyhow going to boomerang back in a couple days.
  17. Ahh... the October rate change... makes perfect sense. That's why we used to go. I haven't touched my fishing gear for a couple months (sadly, sadly) but I can almost hear the line sing and that pole cranked over as my fat ass sprints across the sand, as that PVC pole holder starts the move toward the surf. See, Ya soon... and often in October!
  18. Why's it going to be so busy this weekend? Fishing Tourney? The La Playa list comes out right about 4 pm. Seems like they often just take it back inside after they get a list larger than capacity. I tend to go either beef fajitas of a fish special, but they also have an off menu crab stuffed portobello mushroom app that is tasty. They don't always have the shrooms. One thing I discovered last time down was that I can get on the wait list at Virgina's online... Smoked tuna dip.
  19. Well, the fact this hasn't popped back up must mean my, pre-covid dreams have been answered. Port A, is now a non-(normal) tourist area for a brief and fleeting moment. Looking forward to this weekend, and the next few good tides and good weather patterns the next month. And don't any of you other fuckers that are normally not in Port A in October, get any fucking ideas!!!
