Brain farts, a lack of killer instinct... and the fucking wildcat...

Texas 46 - Tech 27 WR Yard 191

Hate is reserved for OU because it's a fucking Rivalry. A&M is more a blend of laughter and amusement 90% of the time. Hate just isn't there with them for me. I do now hate on LSU, after the fake fucking cramping to use as Defensive timeouts, and then lying about the A/C. TCU has only kicked us when we are down, so I don't have a level of hate for them yet. Beat us this year, and I am probably there. Tech is a team I have always rooted for except when playing us. But this week they are Tortilla Tossing MoFo's. I have never been to a game in Lubbock.. because... well Lubbock. But they are a feisty lot, and I might dislike them if I traveled there and was "welcomed" with hate. Rice is also a school I always root for, because of academics for the Athletes. Plus the fucking MOB! Only half-time shows I have ever truly anticipated!

UTEP, UTSA, WTF... 😉

Texas 39 -19 with a late 7 points by UTEP as time runs out. But I understand how it might have confused Wahlberg... 😉

39 -19 with a late 7 points by UTEP as time runs out. We see that the twos are getting better, and are light years ahead of last year. No matter who the QB is there is enough talent to just play sandlot and kick some ass. I really think this game is bigger than a lot of folks think. It's a character game. When the standard truly rises. it's hard not to do well. I do not think we are going to struggle, with the greatest respect to UTSA. I think the kids are starting to buy in, and the talent level is rising. as for QB it's next man up. and Malik is kicking the shit out of his own ass...

This game will be a very good game of evaluating whether indeed we have developed a new and higher standard. If so then we will dominate, and the ability to get reps to depth against a still quality opponent in the second half. OR we will fall victim to listening in how great we are. Well not we... but our players. My belief is that there is now a core group of upperclassmen who have shown the path. It's something coaches want more than anything, but it's something only players can do. Greatness only comes with accountability. And true accountability comes from the guy nest to you, and the shame that comes with being the weakest link. I think we are very close to this place now. With the young talent pushing the physical side of talent, and a new accountability building more and more as leaders demand more of their teammates. This game will let us know whether or not we can play to a new higher standard? As I am fervently hoping. It will be hard not to fall back to some degree emotionally. IF we truly have raised the bar to a higher standard, it will be apparent in the lack of, or the perfection of consistently high levels of error free play. IF we have raised the bar. there will be nearly no starters playing in the 4th quarter, and we will get a glimmer of Malik. Not necessarily because the offense was so potent, but because the defense was relentless. I want to see discipline and consistency. THAT more than anything will let us know if we have indeed raised the bar.

Aggies always make the same fucking coaching mistake. The actually believe other folks WANT their coach... who hasn't won a fucking thing. Francione- well Mack Brown was getting an extension First couple million down the drain Sumlin - we are on the cusp of greatness and although nobody is stepping up to offer as much, I mean 19-6 in the SEC... Let's drop more millions! Jimbo - October 15th of Last year A&M bit off a 10 year no cut $95 million contract with Fisher Jimbo Fisher contract buyout largest EVER! And it's not even close And the Aggies actually wonder why they have a reputation for being stupid?

Texas Cheers and Aggie Tears both bring a smile to my face. But it's especially funny this year where the usual Aggie optimism from beating up the little sisters of the poor in September usually holds on until October. Most importantly I think A&M fans with half a brain see this weekend not unlike the way I do. A changing of the guard, where the reality seems to be that the teams are going in opposite directions. Before this weekend I think you could ask the average Aggie, and they would have been disappointed at a potential pairing in the Bowls with Texas. Now the Idea of a Bowl playing against Texas would be something to be feared. The worm has turned. I also think that Texas seems so much more mentally tough this year. Still time to screw things up, but the overall team play this weekend for the Horns was beyond even the greatest expectations of Texas fans. But in a Tip of the Hat to the Aggies, they are directly responsible for the very first GAMEDAY ever at Appalachian State. News that was made before the $1.5 million check cleared.

I hate to fucking lose the game but we were supposed to get BLOWN OUT! The fact the team did not implode emotionally for a rout after Ewers went down shows a much greater mental toughness than in past years. If you are not ecstatic with the defensive play you must have some sort of prior season memory loss. The one thing I noted most from the first game was just the physical appearance of out DL. More fit, less gut. Just a really, really outstanding game played by the defense. How they don't end up with a safety called by the referees was frustrating, but the played extremely well. Almost winning the game on the last blitz gone awry. The offensive line was able to go much more head to head than I thought they would. Still too young to just line up and stuff the ball down folks throats, but much improved over last year and brimming with youth that will add more and more quality depth. Card performed well, especially considering he was hobbled early on in his day. I think with a little more ability to move each play he would have ended up building more momentum. But alas that was not to be the case. Hopefully his ankle will be better next week, but time to get #3 and #4 some more reps, as Ewers will be out a few weeks at the minimum. It stings to come so close to greatness, but a lot of folks here would have been happy just to not get blown out. I think from the emotional toughness in a game full of adversity and some calls really not going our way shows this team has emotionally stepped forward. I think they proved physically they are a lot farther along than many of us had hoped. It will be very interesting to see what this team looks like at the end of the season! Hook'em!

Texas 41 Bama 39 Ewers 291 Never stop dreaming!

Don't know how many of you guys are blues lovers such as myself, but last year I found a hidden jewel in Ausin. The Eastside Kings Festival. Compared to Austin's other lauded and profitable festivals this event is a throwback to days gone by. IT's never going to be a big deal simply because so many of the participants are in their 70's. But if you love the blues I cannot recommend enough going and checking out the shows this weekend. There are two shows at Antones, but many of the same players can be seen in smaller venues on Eat 12th and Chicon. This "festival" is more a labor of love than an opportunity to profit for the promoters. If you love the blues and would like to see some of the old time players who helped lay the foundation of America's home grown music this is a fun low cost way to see some classic players. The wife and I really enjoyed it last year. We got some great seats at the King Bee on East 12 and watched a succession of great blues performances to our enjoyment. The tickets were $25 for the day, and it was sort of fun to check out the bars on 12th that I don't normally frequent living in NW Austin. Anyhow if you love the blues go see some of the best old blues players you will ever get a chance to see. Hopefully after the Alabama game we ourselves will NOT have the blues, but this is a great way to hear the blues! Like I said, this is likely the least profitable festival in Austin. But it has become one that was easy to enjoy. If you love the blues, do yourself a favor and grab a friend, gal or wife and go check it out if you like the old school blues. Bring hearing protection as in the small venues some of these guys crank it pretty loud. https://www.eastsidekingsfest.com/ I had meant to go prior to covid, and went last year finally. It's not fancy at all, but if you want to see some real blues players and give them some love, this is a little known festival that has grown a little closer to my heart after attending. I haven't looked over the billings very well, but I know there are some jewels in their. Bloodiest Sax caught my eye for example not knowing WTF that is. But I guess I'll find out! Hopefully I am giddy like a mofo Saturday night after a Texas victory over Alabama, but if likely reality plays out at least I can hear the blues as I feel them! 😉

Meat Church sponsored by Yeti is a good way to welcome an Alabama Meat aficionado. But I can't help but smile at the thought of Meat Church sponsored by Oil Can Harry's...

For the love of God somebody let the poor fucker watch...

I'm not sure anymore. It will be interesting to see if the Special Master holds up and most importantly what sort of executive privilege she thinks is available to a non-elected official who is no longer part of the Executive Branch. If this stuff is as bad as it seems, and the justice department does behave apolitically, Trump is toast. The law is pretty fucking clear, and he broke it. IF the nuke stuff is true how the hell do you not go after him? Setting precedent that former Presidents can do anything they want, current Presidents can do anything they want... IF they are Republican...

The Special Master is simply a delaying tactic, nothing more or less. The idea is to delay and spin. Not at all unlike Barr's lying about the Mueller Reports findings and letting it percolate for weeks before the actual facts became known. But the lie is what was remembered by most. This is no different, delay and try to find more ways to delay. Fight over every bit of minutia to tie up and delay. I honestly cannot believe the judge did what she did, but I can see trying to err on the side of caution (barely). I will be curious to see if the DOJ asks for clarification on the stopping of the investigation. But the goal is to delay, delay, delay. All hell will indeed break loose when Trump is indicted. All the white aggrieved folks will be up in arms! Taking the EXACT OPPOSITE positions on nearly every point that they have professed previously. Because hypocrisy along with lies, and the two foundational legs of the GOP at this point. Ultimately the man is guilty as sin. The only real question now is will we ever find out the level of his traitorous actions? We never found out the extent of the Trump Russia ties, because Trump pardoned his so-conspirator Roger Stone. We will never know the fullness of his traitorous acts on January 6th, do to purposeful destruction of text communications that clearly would have been beyond damning. So hopefully we will find out more details in time. Hopefully in a year or two the biggest topic of conversation will be, does the Secret Service have to go to prison the protect Trump?

History will view Kevin McCarthy truthfully as the modern Benedict Arnold! Or if the Republicans can hold the courts and take control for even an instant in the next 6 years of the Senate and Congress...Kevin McCarthy will get a statue... and we will get our Putin. Wish like fuck what I typed was not true. But kids that's where we are. MOST of your Republican friends now believe more false shit that true shit. And that is exactly how our democracy will die.

One thing I would not be surprised to see is Sark anticipating Saban's desire to stifle the run by stacking the middle, with Bijan being moved into a slot receiver position to force more coverage to the outside. Now this means the O-line has to help Ewers hang on for his life, before running for it. But he's got a quick release, and I could see us playing more of a sandlot Patrick Majomes style passing game. Alabama's line backers have the speed to cover Bijan, but it would also force Saban to adjust HIS game plan early? I don't see us really establishing a running game early with Bijan simply pounding the middle. Alabama is still just too good for your young O-line to go straight up mano-a-mano. I think moving Bijan around may be one of the most effective ways early of making the Bama D think, and a split second of thinking on the D side of the ball is usually good for the Offense. If we could get off a few short passes early to Bijan that would help him and more importantly help Ewers gain confidence. In essence I think it may be easier to make "long handoff" short passes early in the game, as a "running game" than trying to pound the line of scrimmage with our youngsters vs their more experienced line. So when Bijan breaks a big one off that early short pass... remember old horn4life.

Unless it's Rice! 😉

from NOT in Port Aransas on ANY Labor Day weekend!!!! EVER!!!!!! FIGHT

From the Oak Knoll/ 183 soon to be Brisket smoking and Jack Daniels drinking spot NW Austin... Channeling my booming under the Athletic center stairwell voice that sounds like Zeus himself is a fan TEXAS....

The amount of drivel that Fox must focus on to avoid addressing the two most pressing news stories of the Day. President Biden's speech which they were afraid to air, and the disclosure of all the items the FBI took/found after the exhaustive search Trump and his attorneys claimed was done in accordance with the law. Instead it's a hodge bodge of "Right Stuff" dating app, the border of course with a new story on morticians running out of room. A story on morticians that was noticeably absent when Trump was president during covid. A lot of the coverage was insisting that the actual words that came out of Joe Biden's mouth did not convey the meaning of the words. The reality is he was attacking GOP Policy and those that support the policies of the GOP. Sort of the way they did for Trump but instead always said the words did not mean what he said, they actually meant something much wiser, or less offensive that the actual words. Interesting this so called "reporting" the GOP's propaganda operation does to avoid addressing the truth. Or allowing the President of the United States own words to be shown to their viewers. Instead preferring to inform their viewer with what they should be thinking, rather than what was reality. In other words they have done today, exactly what Putin controlled news sources do every single day.

So not a Republican...

The mind boggling amount of empty folders should scare the shit out of folks. But not the MAGA republicans... Hillary.... Here is the list of docs and crap https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22274266-unsealed-document-list?embed=true&responsive=false&sidebar=false
