  1. Yeah, sure. Back of the line, amigo. It's down to the end and around the corner.
  2. This pissed off a lot of people. I understand the need to keep "culture" pointed the right direction, and I understand the likely greater Sarkian sensitivity to an alcohol-related incident, but punishing your team by sitting a player for something that happened six months ago seems short-sighted. I hope there were other reason(s) for leaving Stroh out there stumbling and bumbling around. I just wonder if the culture issue was finally deemed taken care of or if it was a matter of realizing that either the OL got fixed and we let DWI-boy play or we might as well kiss our goals goodbye. Anyway, it looks a hell of a lot better now. Hook'em
  3. Strong's agent, you mean. Remember who you're talking about.
  4. But not an unpopular one.
  5. I've wondered about the contract balances in the event of uhhh some sort of you know an uhhhh an unfortunate accident. Coach Franklin? You have two visitors who say they need to speak with you, a Mister Louie and a Mister Fingers. Miz Long opines that such would likely have to pay off, if only to a survivor or an LLC. Of course, she's Criminal Defense and not Contract lawyer, so I'm not sure about that. But I have looked at a couple of coaching contracts online, and both of them had an LLC associated with the coach, so... maybe just a disappearance, have to wait seven years to presume death? And who knows what could happen in seven years, right?
  6. Well... before fucking TV took over the world and started the Red River Whatever, I don't remember calling it anything other than the OU game, so I'm good with it. The kickoff time usually depended on where the World Series game was being played - East Coast or Midwest mostly, and with a whole three TV networks, the OU game and the World Series were the complete slate of athletics... I think... the other network probably had Roller Derby.
  7. Here's your play-by-play. Eight drivable possessions (two more were end of half, end of game), we scored four times - three FG and a TD for a total of 16 points. For reference, had we done that against tOSU, we'da won. There's a reason for the Take the Points motto. Gruntled to see Sark appears to have gotten the message. https://www.espn.com/college-football/playbyplay/_/gameId/401752736
  8. Awwwww... so cute and all. One thing, though: lose the "Rivalry" bullshit. Errbody and they brother got a rivalry. We're Texas. Make it Red River Shootout, or better, how about Shootout at the State Fair
  9. May be Aunt Holly?
  10. Two things... well, okay, three things. 1. True ststement there, 49-0. 2. Young Holly was a pretty cute little gal. She's what now? Right about 60, I suppose. I'm fairly certain most of us looked a whole better at 30 than at 60. 3. I'm guessing nunna you haters ever spent two minutes - much less a champagne brunch weekend - with a chubby athletic blonde who could suck both her own big toes at the same time while being roundly rogered. Just sayin'...
  11. More like Cooper is our HC, and little bro Heid is our starting center.
  12. Rancorless Asswater is superb Surly Motto material.
  13. Shitspeak for "anger in the locker room". A key element in team building is "Do YOUR job and trust your teammates to do their jobs". Sounds like we have finger-pointing and dissatisfaction rampant. Leads from being pissed at other players to being pissed at coaches, to mentally dropping out. We don't necessarily need to mudhole the sooners - although that should always be in the cards - but we do need to whip their ass, and not just metaphorically. C'mon, Sark. Bring it.
  14. Well, we have a Co-OC for Run Game, so it's no surprise that we can't pass block, either. Maybe we should blame the Co-OC for Pass Game?
