Yeah that's a weird thing to say. The ability to pop a big play is the number one threat from this offense. Without that they would be a horrid unit.

Mike Johnson not at the table is flying under the radar but hysterical to me

Texas not only nearly lost to K State last year, but K State really should have won the game. It took their galaxy brain OC a whole half to realize running right into T'Vondre Sweat and Byron Murphy was a poor choice and that he should instead utilize his veteran QB to pick on Texas's horrid secondary. He never quit the QB power into the pair of NFL DTs on the other side, even in big moments late in the game. Guess who calls the plays for Texas A&M this year? As far as Kentucky goes, should be a snoozer even if clunky. Texas is just a significantly better version of their good defense and lacking offense. Unless Texas turns it over and gives Kentucky a short field multiple times I doubt the outcome is ever in doubt. I'd be surprised if Kentucky got past 10 unless it's garbage time.

My brother in Christ, Oklahoma beat Auburn on the road. Cal beat Auburn on the road. Vanderbilt beat Auburn on the road. Auburn has no Power 4 home wins this year. Aggy will play it vanilla and it will probably be closer than they care for but Auburn is horrid. I would be shocked if they lost.

Well it depends on a lot of different results but the most likely unless there's a lot of chaos would be Bama, UGA if Bama drops a game (at OU, vs Auburn)

Texas ran the ball pretty effectively most of the game, and notably was best in the 4th quarter. Sark chose to lean into the pass early. Maybe he didn't feel he could lean on the run, maybe he wanted to go after the Arkansas pass defense, maybe Arkansas was playing RPOs to force a throw whatever. Getting to obvious passing situations because of a couple penalties and sacks influenced calls too no doubt. These are Texas RB carries by possession: 5 plays: 1-3 3 plays: 1-7 6 plays (TD): 3-24 3 plays: 1-4 11 plays (FG): 4-7, with a 4th and short conversion and 6 yard run called back with a hold 12 plays: 4-15 First half: 14-60, 4.2 ypc 7 plays (FG): 4-11, probably the worst running drive situationally. A first down loss by Wisner early, and only 3 yards on 2 carries after 1st down from the piggy 13 3 plays: 1-(-2) 8 plays (TD): 5-46, 28 yard run by Blue 14 plays (end of game): 8-26, with the whole stadium knowing the drill Final line: 33-147, 4.45 ypc

The run game worked pretty well except where Sark was getting really predictable with it on first down. Both Ewers sacks were primarily on him and he didn't have a ton of pressure in his face all day. Think the OL had a pretty good day today.

Any road conference win is a good win. I tend to think the defense played really well and was getting worn down by the second half. Really felt like Texas was gonna fuck around and blow it there in the late third/early fourth but credit to the offense for stepping up when they absolutely had to. I believe if Texas doesn't go down and score when they get the ball up 13-10, Arkansas wins the game. Ewers, I mean, it is what it is. Think he played okay. Took care of the ball and hit on some really nice short/intermediate throws. Also had some self sacks that were big setbacks and missed Helm on that slant that should have been 20-0. The deep balls are head scratchers. He is worse than 2022 somehow. Sark's clearly not going to make a change at this point but there's no way this team wins a title when defenses don't have to take the vertical passing game remotely seriously. Feeling pretty zen about it honestly. Let's just go beat aggy. 11-1 with a 3-0 record against OU, piglets, and aggy all away from home would be a categorical success.

My first reaction is that he is insulting the intelligence of his voters and consistently being proven right for it, ala Abbott or Cruz. But actually when you look at his broader record I think he's just in the Dan Patrick or Sid Miller archetype of being that stupid.

Jesus fucking Christ. I'd say this guy's professional career just ended but he'll actually get a raise in the right wing grifting sphere. Kyle Rittenhouse style.

I mean it's basically just education polarization through another lens

Fucking great line. An all timer.

The funny thing is it isn't the college educated white collar suburban voters or the "elites" who are going to notice a 30% increase on bananas or coffee or whatever.

I just want to point out there was not a major male candidate in the Mexican election and Sheinbaum was chosen with a plurality, not a majority, of votes in her party's selection process (rest were men). Also being AMLO's handpicked successor and all. That's not to say your point isn't salient but to add context.

Try to seduce his children?

Uh, look at the org chart

To? He will. Trump wants a rabid attack dog with undying loyalty. That's Gaetz. Trump will expect the GOP Senate to rubber stamp and try to bully them into compliance if they don't. He's not going to withdraw a nominee because Susan Collins is "concerned," he doesn't give a fuck. Through? Tossup at this juncture. Murkowski and the new Utah guy are more likely than not to be no's but Collins probably folds. GOP may or may not be down a vote with an empty seat from Vance. Lot of moving parts.

Perhaps we'll see but I'm not sure. Matt Gaetz is a phenomenally stupid human being and there's a non zero chance he will be the Charlie Strong of political retribution.

@Frank Drebin never answered me because he's just on a rage-filled shitposting binge (love that for you daddy) but Trump went ahead and answered for me in a couple days. lmao fade me

This is the right answer in general. Texas-OU is the only weekend that's iffy for me, and that really only applies if the couple and social circle are UT alums/invested in the game. You should probably know better with that one. But if someone unaffiliated with UT or uninterested in UT football has a wedding then, I'm not going to get all butthurt about it; I may not go if it's not a close relationship, but I don't think that's a big deal either way.

I'm a younger guy and way less into the whole "I hate my wife" bit that older generations, so I get where you're coming from and admire your perspective; but, I mean, this is a two way street. It's not a crazy ask of you to want to watch the Texas-A&M game without unneeded, somewhat frivolous interruption. Honestly the whole fall wedding backlash is overblown and only a handful of Texas games are appointment TV in a given season. This is one of them though. If this were Kentucky or Vanderbilt or ULM or some shit then who cares, but it isn't. And we're talking about a shower, not an actual wedding. Uber is the obvious solution here.

Honestly I think this is spot on.

Most of these are just showing that MAGA is still really bad at comedy but I'll give you the Don Lemon urinal one. The Matt Gaetz one is funny in an unintentional, laughing at him sort of way given he's had more work done than most Hollywood actresses.

Net migration between the US and Mexico is basically zero over the past 15-20 years.

To be fair, this is a two-way phenomenon, though it's always been notably stronger on the Republican side. Just really dumb.
