  1. In Oklahoma Every year on Halloween The Sooners Pump-Kin
  2. Fuck Oklahoma Never seen a native there Turnpike is cool though
  3. I haven't been to any of the games he's played, but in those games, dating back to last year, we have seen a hesitancy in his game at times. So no, him holding onto the ball is not just an ankle issue, it's part of what we've seen regardless. I do appreciate the kid, though.
  4. If I spritz beef I usually use normal vinegar mixed with water and some W sauce. If it's pork ribs/butt I'll cut the W sauce. Dunno why, but I do.
  5. Sometimes I like starting low and then cranking up. I rarely use the water pan (filled with sand) anymore. I'll just double up some of the thick foil from HEB and place it on the bottom grate. That's a good temporary heat sink for 2-3 hours or so. When I want to go hot I'll pull the foil through the door and open the vents.
  6. That's what I'm interested in right now. I'm tired of hearing about what these geeks saw on plays like this. I want to hear them explain what the tackler should have done that is both, A. humanly possible; and B. conductive to defensive football's purpose and demand on such a play.
  7. The difference is you're talking a kid who hasn't played in two years, the last time being in HS, and a 3rd year guy who started at UT last year. Let's not kid ourselves, Ewers is far more capable of hitting those shots than Card. It's not a debate.
  8. I have seen a couple of twitter ref types still hanging onto this thing. But what's more is that it most likely reflects the opinions of the ones who are being quiet about it. The roots are many and deep with this bullshit.
  9. But we do "take it anymore," is the problem. And it doesn't help when most color guys on TV (most of them) find some stupid way to defend it as if it'll help them keep their job.
  10. I hope it's that easy, or close to it. Unfortunately, I fear it will only get better, in college football, once the conferences clean out their conference officiating up top, while also leaving the NCAA.
  11. I'm not saying it's the right call or a good call or anything, I'm just saying the launch is going to add to it. And remember, there doesn't have to be helmet to helmet. Forcible contact with a shoulder can be targeting.
  12. That one's gunna get called more than Overshown's simply because the defender left his feet/launched.
  13. Well he didn't lead with his "crown," no, but the people I'm talking about are mentioning the leading with "helmet," which is targetting if using it to attack while making forcible contact to the "head or neck area" of the player. Also leading with the shoulder, elbow or whatever to attack and making forcible contact to the head or neck area is a targeting penalty. But so much of it is bullshit. Most of the time the speed of the game, what exactly players are physically capable of, and what the object of the fucking game is is tossed out of the window. 1st, in this case, Overshown comes out of a cannon, and honestly is probably shocked that QB is even right there. The QB isn't very far back, and is up in the pocket, so he really didn't have a chance to get lower and wrap him up around the waste. So what is he supposed to do? Side step and tackle him from behind? No, that's not football. The solution would be to get lower. BUT Overshown had no time to get much lower, and had he lowered then he probably DOES hit the QB with the crown of his helmet. It shouldn't be reality, is the point we're all making.
  14. I am sick and tired of these dumbass internet/twitter refs rushing to tell me how it was the right call. "First off he leads with his helmet." WHAT OTHER BODY PART DO YOU EXPECT TO BE LEADING? Your head will always be out front unless you're standing straight up, and no one stands straight up to make a tackle, or with their head angled back so that it is not out front. These kids can't change the order their body parts are stacked in. These dweebs need to get away from our game, they're fucking it up.
  15. I stormed your mom at Town Lake. #FIRSTIN #punintended
  16. They've called them that since Herman, at least (when I first really started paying attention to their social media).
  17. Eh, it's wednesday. Let me know how he's feeling tomorrow. Friday.
  18. "But when will he be back?" "Doc has given him 2 weeks." "oh, good." "...to live."
  19. So I'm not a big Galindo fan, but I thought saying "Bijan Johnson" was an intentional attempt at creating something off of the combo of Johnson and Bijan (Johnson handing the ball off to Bijan off the direct snap). I mean I don't like it or anything, but I feel that is something Galindo would attempt in that situation.
  20. Since the whole "day to day" thing last Monday I've felt we were probably talking a two game injury for him vs. anything close to 6, but seeing him out there Saturday made me feel a bit better about his chances this week. Not that he was suited up, that could always be gamesmanship, but the running and warm-ups weren't some half-assed bullshit with that injury. But still, he can go out there this past Saturday, whip it around a little, run around, and come in the training room Sunday feeling like he was hit by a train, and then we have a setback. So no, it's not entirely obvious he'd be playing this week based on what we saw this past Saturday alone, but we haven't heard of any setbacks so I've been feeling better about this week. And now CTJ putting things the way he did has me feeling even better.
  21. Not sure I 100% blame them watching Card out there. I think Ewers lifts that line quite a bit.
  22. A trap game is a game most people believe you should win, and mostly easily. That wasn't Bama, and it's not going to be OU, Okie Steak or Baylor.
