Yeah that should have been a five yard penalty and first down on the punt. Refs kind of made it up to Bama with that UR call though. That’s tough for 44. Michigan’s OL came to move people, rest of the offense just need to get out of its own way

Business Insider is like a half step up from Texags in terms of the IQ it’s aimed at

There is/was one poster, I think maybe the recurring animal/tobacco guy, who said he told his wife/daughters to lay back and try to disassociate if ever sexually assaulted and that they should keep a baby if such an assault resulted in a pregnancy. Also, in a separate post, wanted to send his daughter to Baylor “for the culture.”

This always happens on this board and it will never not be funny

FIFY

There’s a 100% chance this texags poster is a severely overweight man from the Houston suburbs that gets winded climbing into his F250

I heard about this from a client today. Sounds like a mess.

Uh, maybe not spending thousands on traveling to football games?

We stayed in Capitol Hill a few years back and really enjoyed Ambar. Balkan food, which is something you don't get a lot of in TX. You pay one price/person for unlimited small plates, tapas style. It was very good and fun to try a bit of everything. There was a good seafood place on a busier road, my wife said the oysters were really good. Can't remember the name though.

lol at Baylor. Finished behind a UH program who had a coach publicly give up on the recruiting class and then replaced the guy. Hot take - might be some lean years in store in Waco.

Two years ago, maybe even this time last year, sure you think about it. As it stands now the need for WR talent isn’t so desperate that you want to take a high degree of culture risk long that. Golden as a vet to compliment Cook, et al as they grow into their roles is fine.

It’s hard to say for sure because there’s so little data but just looking at political trends it does seem like AZ, GA, and NC are doing more of the importing of garden variety liberal/moderate folks from NY/CA/wherever that are moving primarily because they seek lower COL. There’s some of that in TX because people can find good jobs here, but TX and FL seem to be more beacons for disaffected Republicans. FL especially with their weaker economy, they are importing true believers.

Beto smashed turnout expectations in 2018 and Republicans came out of the woodwork to match. There are Republicans who don’t vote here because they view it as pointless just like Democrats. Polls routinely get decently accurate results from a few hundred or a thousand likely voters. Half of eligible voters showing up is a big enough sample size to know where the state stands.

Republicans in Texas continue to brazenly insult their voters’ intelligence by running on “fiscal responsibility,” while among other things refusing free Federal money to reduce the state’s nation-leading number of uninsured adults and children. It’s maddening, but you also kind of have to laugh because it’s been proven that they made the correct bet on voters being too dumb to catch them.

Do you think there might be something a bit different about the situation the team is currently in than in years past that might prompt that change?

This really is the biggest thing. Specifically development. The talking point is that Herman didn’t recruit any talent in the trenches but on this conference champion and CFP team, 3/5 OL starters, 3/4 DL starters, and 2 additional DL rotation guys are Herman recruits a full three seasons after he left. This group includes an Outland trophy winner/All American/B12 DPOY, the B12 DL of the year, and 4 x All B12 honorable mentions. He also recruited two NFL draft picks on the DL from last year. Sark added to the mix by infusing the OL with high end talent in Banks and Campbell but the talent was there when he got here. It needed some work and some time. What he did to unlock it that Herman didn’t was bring in coaches with established, strong track records of turning potential into production, and who know what it takes to not just consistently win but compete for championships. The development we’ve seen under this staff is the most impressive thing they have done and the biggest reason they broke through this year.

You’re second in line right after the Auburn guy’s wife it seems

Gotta watch out for overpasses though

Abbott is such a dogshit human being. Donald Trump, Dan Patrick, aggy… most of them are that stupid. In some small sense you pity them rather than hold them in contempt because they’ve just been taken advantage of. Greg Abbott is not and it comes out now then. I’m sure he believes his own bullshit to a degree after drinking the kool aid for so long but he knows exactly what he’s doing. Truly a vile man. Ted Cruz is the same way.

Allowed? These guys have been winning by large margins. Abbott has never won by less than 11 percentage points. We are not just allowing it. Collectively, this is what Texas is.

It’s not apples to apples but by the time game day rolled around for the Sugar Bowl against UGA, I felt like a dumbass for paying face through LHF. Could have done much better buying on game day or the day before. Nothing like today but there was still a decent bit of excitement on the Texas side for that game, and playing a bigger, closer, albeit disappointed fanbase. I’d expect the prices to continue to fall because these games are tougher for people to just hit on a whim with little notice.

Could use one more interior DL. Might as well be a 5 star flip from aggy at this point.

What if I told you it will probably be both

We’re talking in circles around this game because there’s a month to do so but your middle paragraph is the bottom line. Both teams have impressive bodies of work and are elite at what they do well; they are also both well equipped to exploit the others’ weaknesses, and have struggled with consistency throughout the year. Add a month layoff and two of the best offensive coaches in the game to that and we really have no idea what we are going to see. As is usually the case with games like this, whoever takes care of the ball better and makes fewer mental/execution errors will likely win. Beyond that, we’ll find out on Jan 1. The only thing in confident of is wild overreaction to the first series.
