    Bad is too strong a word but the overall sentiment that the offense could fumble the bag and lose the game is real. They could also continue running the ball extremely well and put out another physically dominant performance. More bipolar than bad. Georgia does, they won't be the 5 seed if they lose. Texas could theoretically lose, get the 5 seed, and play some combo of ASU/ISU/SMU/Clemson/Boise in the first two rounds, one of them at home. Win and get the 1-2 seed and you're looking at playing a significantly tougher quarterfinal. We'll see what the rankings look like this week though.

    I mean, I addressed this immediately above but I merely expected the defense to play well, not dominate in a way we'll talk about 20-30 years from now. And Ewers was healthier than I thought he'd be. If you told me where Ewers was going to be health-wise beforehand, I'd have picked Texas.

    He played okay in context but I was surprised at how limited his arm seemed. You can coach reads, decision making, even ball placement to a degree but that part kind of is what it is. Maybe he was just hesitant to let it rip. Well, they had something to cheer for then so I'd think so. It's not going to show up on highlight clips but there was a play at one point in the second half where aggy called a zone read; Simmons crashed with the RB so Reed kept the ball. Simmons changed direction on a dime and chased Reed down for a minimal gain. Just ridiculous. He is so goddamn fun to watch. He's played Collin Klein before. K State should have beat Texas last season if not for Klein calling an all-time brain dead game. He knew CK would be stubborn and unimaginative. I think Elko's a good coach but Klein was an awful hire and I'm here for it.

    Feel like you could have stopped here.

    I prefer to believe a gimpy Quinn Ewers fucking dusted aggy down the sideline lmao

    Texas didn't beat those three, they absolutely bludgeoned all of them. Only Arkansas could be described as remotely competitive.

    I didn't even realize Blue caught that. I thought it hit the ground out the back of the endzone. Crazy play. Really wish Ewers didn't throw that pick six and we could have had a shut out. The slide fumble was a bang bang play and hard to begrudge that much. The pick was awful though. He really is good for one dumbfuck turnover a game. That said, he played well overall. Certainly moved functionally. Have to eat my words. I was cackling when aggy got beat down the sideline by an injured Ewers. That's when I realized the aggy back seven was even worse than I thought and Texas would win the game.

    My thinking was that they would maybe generate 6-10 points on standard drives and that the Texas offense would essentially give them the rest. That script kinda sorta had a path but the Texas defense going full belt to ass and aggy's own questionable decisions made sure it never saw the light of day. Basically lol I'm a dumbass

    Agree that this game is really all about how Texas plays. This is a game where you can talk yourself into almost anything. Unfortunately, what I keep coming back to is this: I don't buy that the Ewers ankle injury is going to go from him being unable to run or throw to more or less fine in seven days. Between the Kentucky game and listing Ewers as probable, Sark has signaled he intends to stick with Ewers regardless of limitations. I think that just makes Texas too easy to defend, shades of the Georgia game. I have a feeling we'll hit a few big plays in the run/screen game because aggy's back seven is bad but won't sustain much of anything on offense. Defense will get worn down in the second half. aggy: 27 Texas: 17 Texas passing yards: 177 Neg away - would love to be wrong.

    Agree with this and it should be obvious to him too. His best path to a long term NFL starting gig is to sit and develop with a competent organization for a couple of years. Falling in the draft could end up being a blessing for him if it means he lands in the right situation. Probable to play doesn't mean anything with regard to an injury impacting his game.
  11. gmr548
    I don't know why people were assuming this injury could just be brushed off. The guy couldn't run and couldn't throw at all in the second half last Saturday. He's dealt with several injuries and never been a guy that has those freakish fast recoveries. One week is just a really quick turnaround for a sprained ankle, especially when you go out there and keep playing on it for two+ quarters after it happens (good call Sark jfc). I feel bad for him, he'd been playing better in November and I think the way he was playing would have been enough to feel very good about the A&M matchup. Not so much if he's anywhere near as limited as he was last week. If Sark trots out an injured Ewers - and it seems like that's the plan - Texas will be very easy to defend and lose the game.

    It's not that much harder. You'll probably pay a rate premium, all things equal, and for conventional/FHA the HOA needs to meet some financial requirements (ones you should be looking at in your own DD anyway). I don't think that's been a back and forth with presidential administrations thing, more a GSE's managing risk thing. Don't forget easing of the rental supply wave removing downward pressure on rents. Sale prices can stay static and if rents start growing again the math looks different.
  13. gmr548
    He almost certainly will. The question is "big for which team?" Thus is the essence of the Silas Bolden ExperienceTM

    This thread is offseason level.

    The math on jumping from renting to buying in Austin is just really tough right now. Rents are down quite a bit too. You almost have to justify buying for lifestyle and/or long game reasons. Fair or not, people don't really view condos like that. When you can rent a comparable apartment for cheaper, buying a condo doesn't feel very attractive. With a house, at least you're paying more for a SFH. Also millennials/Gen Z are a lot less amenable to HOA bullshit. However I will say I have seen a similar trend of seemingly attractive condo product lingering on the market at pretty good prices in our market (Seattle metro). Can get an entry level unit that's at least decent on both sides of the location/unit quality scale as low as the mid 300s. Wasn't really on my radar but if this trend continues into Q2 when we start looking for a more permanent arrangement that could be intriguing.

    The major, broad tariffs on Mexico and Canada in the face of his own treaty is so phenomenally stupid and harmful to the American economy that I have to think the Trump team, rest of the GOP, donors, etc. get him to never implement it. The supposed justification is another migrant caravan bit, they probably just make up another story and say it dissolved in fear of gigachad Trump border control or something.

    This is unintentionally hilarious. Just... chef's kiss

    Look on the bright side. Through energy policy, this new administration will move the date by which you can grow avocados locally in Western WA up by a significant margin.

    Be that is it may, there is absolutely nothing that hypes up lilly white frat boys from the exurbs of DFW and Houston quite the same way.

    Infuriating, but not a bug. A feature.

    He was a S&C project coming in and ended up dropping a bunch of weight to play in the 6 OL package last year. He's not on the two deep this year. Even with Texas replacing 3-5 OL next season I don't see a clear path to starting for him and wouldn't be surprised if he transfers, but if he stays there's at least a path for him to be on the two deep.

    Most analytics would have it at 7-10 when adjusting for home field. Add in the shiny rivalry factor and the Ewers injury and that isn't surprising at all.

    Ironically, very texaggy post

    Care to expand? I'm in affordable housing by trade; not familiar with him and not really sure what to make of it. I figure time spent working with a large multifamily builder might signal some understanding of the development process and willingness to take action at HUD to encourage streamlining of development processes around the country, which would legitimately be welcomed. Of course, he has two years with a fluffy, bullshit, do-nothing title so that could also just take the shape of handouts to large developers and lack of enforcement on bad actor Section 8 landlords and the like. And the rest of his resume - TX House member, other bullshit "chief vision officer" type jobs tells me it's just a place to stick someone whose political profile they want to raise, which is unfortunately what HUD has been for a while.
