  1. Big humans - check No athleticism - check Hmmmm... maybe the man got a point there...
  2. Last time Sark was an HC, his OC drove him to drink, and he got fired. For cause, no buyout and the OC got his job. Would you ever hire another OC?
  3. No Wife. No Horse. No Mustache.
  4. Miz Long (Criminal Defense Lawyer) espouses this view. She sees Mack Brown as the guy who shit all over the house on his way out the door, and being allowed back in later. She thinks he's probably shitting in the closets and the pantry right now.
  5. I hope they do, but they almost certainly won't.
  6. It has been difficult to believe that any sort of practice involving first team OL versus first, even second, team DL could leave a single coach, player, or casual observer with the impression that the OL is fully functional. The OL coach is also the co-OC for Run Game. There may be some correspondences to be drawn.
  7. Not unless they want to be banned. On the other hand, if I were a journo, I might plan on getting banned and build a PR $9.95 campaign for post-banning... Seven-win Steve Sarkisian bans Tough Question Surly
  8. TIL Gnarly is narly is nearly.
  9. If I were bankrolling a team, I'd want information in return, and it would have to be information that Vegas didn't get.
  10. Is UT paying Mack Brown?
  11. No. 9-3 means no CCG, and we're not in with that record. At 10-3 with CCG game, win or lose, we might get in. Def in with a CCG win, even at 10-3.
  12. For you non-rugger types... Rugby scores five for a try that succesfully is touched down. The conversion kick scores two. Penalty and dropkicks score three. A try and a conversion gets you seven, just like American Football. Conversions are harder in Rugby, because the ball is placed perpendicular to where the touchdown is accomplished, so a TD near the corner means you're kicking from near the sideline, thus 5 is not at all unusual score.
  13. Rent fucking FREE... and you have no idea what's about to happen to you when those horns go down...
  14. Count me in on being pleased - and not surprised - at seeing Niblett looking like a football player coming out of the backfield. Been waiting to see him there. Hope it stays on track.
  15. Story I heard was that Mack saw him as a DB and told him so. He wasn't interested, and there was no offer.
  16. FUPM (allegedly) telling Manziel and Griffin that they were going to be DB or WR and not offering a solid shot at QB was definitely vintage Mack.
  17. Squints didn't have uncles with Super Bowl wins, but his dad held - and I believe still holds - the record for Super Bowl Futility, i.e. FIVE Super Bowl Second Place rings, albeit only carrying s clipboard. Be fair, though, his dad was the Cal QB who kinda sorta beat John Elway when the Stanford band marched onto the field while the game was still live and let Cal's rugby kick return score the winning TD.
  18. Aussie Rules, or footy, puts a huge premium on accurate punting, both distance and direction. Dickson was - and is - masterful at those. In footy, the ball is moved best by punting to your own team. A ball caught before it hits the ground is the target, and Dickson regularly put the ball inside the ten yard line where the return man would let it go, hoping for a touchback, but a Longhorn would be there to down it. PM Banks and Bouwmeester.
  19. Spinal stenosis is inheritable. Doesn't mean for sure, but definitely possible. I'm only offering a possible explanation. I assume he's been thoroughly checked out, given Cooper's history, but it still seems possible. I mean, the throwing woes are coming from somewhere... you would think, though, that if it were evident in practice we'd already be changing things. Adding Caldwell sure seemed strange at the time (unless Owens and Lacey were seen to be total shit).
  20. Exceptions included?
  21. Rent. Free. Rent. Fucking. Free.
  22. If you had told me Friday night that tOSU would score only 14 points, I probably would have bet my hat, ass, and suitcase on Texas. It's a damned good thing, because I'd be a bareheaded, no-cheeks, empty-handed fucker. At least I still have a hat and a suitcase...
