  1. The interesting thing about that play was the after effects. Either we didn’t have medical expertise we have now or benson had a preexisting condition, because ced was not “ right” until at least latter part of 2002. As for the ranking of disasterous plays, there is an unknown play that gets my vote in top 5. 1. Curry fumble 2. Unknown play that ended Edwin Simmons’ 1983 season. If we have a healthy Simmons hitting the hole, we beat Georgia by 2 TDs. We found out a year or two later that Edwin’s legs were significantly different in height. I always wondered why that wasn’t caught in a physical. Reminds me of the UT freshman lineman who was found to have spinal stenosis during freshman physical...never played a down, was equivalent of a 4 star recruit...was it David Condom? I felt bad for the guy, but then read that Texas honored the 4 year scholarship...so he got a free education. 3. Colt injury against bama. 4. Combination of two Gideon plays..he caught the fake punt against bama, and dropped the int. Against Tech. Reverse the two plays, and chances are very good we have a touchdown against bama, even with a colt injury, and of course a NC in 08. Bottom line. Gideon is the only player I can think of who is at least partially responsible for 2 missed national championships. Do you think Gideon ever coaches at Texas?
  2. New to this thread...first, I am happy to note that as a teacher, I fall into the 1b category....but, since I live in rural Alaska, am guessing the vaccine will not get here until February... anybody with intelligent guesses how long it will be? Next question...Is there anybody else out there curious like I am about number of total deaths in U.S. in 2020 vs. 2019? Last question...Anybody else curious about number of vaccines going into arms during Trump administration vs. vaccines in arms during equal number of days of Biden administration? i know how u guys are, so let the beatings begin. Like Biden, I “choose truth over facts.”
  3. Buffs are 4-1. Tanned, rested, and ready. They have more film on us than we do on them. We win by 7 at the most. Line comes down to 7 and 1/2 by the 29th.
  4. Just saw this. I saw you put LaSalle Thompson as a forward? Huh? Nope. He was a center and his stats reflected that. Without looking up stats, LaSalle came from Cincinatti, OH, I think, was an All-American McDonald's high-school player who came to Texas and developed into a rebounding machine. One year he led the country in rebounding, with either 13.6 or 13.8 per game. Dominating player, held his own against Akeem, Koncak, etc. If you start a center, which I am not certain you are, LaSalle is the number one center in Texas history. He easily beats Chris Mihm. not close. Coach? Do you want a tactician or someone to keep the players ready to play and loose? If you want the former, Barnes, the latter, Abe Lemons.
  5. drum roll..........
  6. I think we go 6 and 6. Herman out.
  7. do you SEC bro? SEC rules the roost.
  8. 4 TD win by Clemson puts Aggy, imo and it is not close. Clemson gets the ball to start 2nd half, scores TD, and they are pretty much there.
  9. Purdy, let's see what you've really got! four down territory, one score, you can't dream it up any better.
  10. so, is there such a thing as momentum? We will soon find out.
  11. okay, so I watched just the highlights last week with Jones, and the kid looked slower than molasses. Couldn't believe the dumb Giants went with him after Colt led the team to victory the week before. Now, I read somewhere that Colt is back to starting this week. Hey Giants! Wake UP! STATS do NOT matter when Colt is playing! It's the leadership quality that makes him different! Don't know anything about the Giants except that Garrett is the OC. Giants appear to still have a good chancet to win the division, if they have a leader at QB, which they do IF they keep Colt in there. Colt was rusty in the first half of his start, but responded very nicely in the 2nd half. Keep running the ball Giants, and Colt can lead you to a division title. Still think the football gods are giving Colt one more chance. Incredible way to go out. Btw, did Jones re-injure his hamstring on Sunday, or was he just awful just because? I would love to see a playoff game, Colt vs. Drew Brees to finish Colt's career. Even if it is a loss, what a way to go out.
  12. time of possession over 3 to 1? I don't believe I have ever seen that before, at least with two teams that are only separated by 18 points. Say what you want about COVID, SEC, etc., this aggy team is relatively legit. Even after throwing an int today, Mond has only thrown 3 ints all year? Aggy is headed to semis, I think. I don't think Aggy has any success in playoffs, but this should keep the fire going on CDC and company.
  13. I'm calling it now. Northwestern, score a TD on this drive and you win the game! Come on cats!
  14. Good grief..u guys r missing the point...aggy top 4 and then get embarrassed in semis is our best hope to fire up cdc and bmd even more.....just until we get urban...win aggy.
  15. Remembering that herm doesn’t have a true buyout, maybe agent could propose a true buyout, reduced amount, but get it upfront? Maybe 8 to 10 million up front, to leave now? Problem is the asst coach’s buyouts.
  16. Dang, never thought the herm would try to make a proactive move. He is used to waiting til the end of the game. This is the beginning of the game. Herm, u don’t stand a chance in hell of getting extension, or raise, so bye!
  17. He may change his mind if enough season-ticket holders decline to renew.
  18. UnC seems like they might be a top 10 team, especially if we play them in a bowl. They should beat us by about 3 TDs.
  19. Fred's last season he was 5-6, I was there at his last game, a loss to Aggy. Many aggy had the shoe polish signs on their cars "keep Fred".
  20. Ready to dip my toe into the water. I think I need to pick something that has a definite ending date....looking at composition of senate and house...closing date Jan. 21, dem. House, repub. senate.....67 cents....but trading just got suspended, maintenance...or betting God’s are saying don’t do it...ha! so, latest offer is actually 68 cents? give or take...my theory is trump haters don’t have orange meany to vote against, and at least one seat reverts back to red... one ? Dem house is a guarantee, so why 68? Shouldn’t it be higher? Iow, the chances of dem. Winning both seats has got to be very slim.
  21. If I never see the word optics again, that will somehow be just fine.
  22. Yes, it would be funny, and maybe add some more fuel to the fire. I’d rather see us play Mack’s team than the hogs. Bowls announced when ?
  23. I remember where I was on Jan. 1, 1984, working what amounted to a double shift at Wilson’s next to Highland Mall. Walked over to the electronics dept to see only one play of the Cotton Bowl, a FG attempt by Ward in the first half that appeared to go directly over the upright. Blame Ward, swirling winds, etc. As a pretty serious fan, it seemed like Fred was never quite comfortable with his QB. Moerschell the runner, Mcivor the pro arm. Blame Edwin Simmons’ DNA, because I did watch all of the RRS, and he was better than Marcus Dupree. Simmons reminded me of Dickerson, tall, long strides. If Edwin is healthy enough to start in the Cotton Bowl it would have most likely been a 2 TD game. But most of all, blame the unknown defensive coach who should have said “ 100 % Peter, if they punt the ball”. I dont think anybody on the Texas sideline thought Georgia would even think about punting the ball.
  24. is there any chance at all tom does such a wonderful job coaching these last two games, which will include another bowl win, that he decides the grass is greener somewhere else? And is there another program dumb enough to hire him at say $5 or $6 million a year? The advantage to Tom might be he could get a 5 year deal somewhere as opposed to only having what 3 years left here. Maybe even get a 6 year deal somewhere? Fantasy or possibility?
