  1. Paging Marshal Zhukov. Marshall Zhukov to the Maroon Courtesy Phone.
  2. Not merely a singular game. The last game we played, and the most important game of the year. In which we - and our QB1 - did NOT have an excellent game. We didn't just get shut out in Q3, we got trampled. That's on the D and on the O. Blue fumbled in Q4, not Q3. Baxter's not playing this season. I'm pretty sure I didn't blame the fumbles on Ewers. Neither QB1 nor the whole team would grade that last game as "excellent", although - as I said - the season was indeed excellent, and we expect that to be repeated.
  3. There is no question here, dumb or otherwise. An all-timer.
  4. Walked in on wife watching that shit from Paris. First words outta my mouth: "Failed Karate Kid imitation?"

    Getting old sucks

    +1 for sittopee in the dark in mid-night hours. +1 for pee off porch (downwind or no wind). add pee in sink when not seen by she who must be obeyed (thanks, Rumpole).
  6. And yet you feel the need to respond. My work here is well done, and good, solely on that basis. Thank you for allowing the InterNet to collect another factoid about you.
  7. We have a new motto. Thinner Skin than Mack Brown
  8. The last half and Q4 were not excellent. We got two Q3 possessions and made a grand total of eight or nine yards, with a fumble and a penalty, and a whole 2+ minutes of control, whilte UW kept the ball for 21 minutes and scored 10. Q4 was a little bit better, but we did our too-often red-zone fade and settled for a FG, got the ball back because UW was trying to run out the clock out, and the last drive was 9 passes with 3 complete (one of them for a loss), and the last 3 hit the ground. Be fair, it was a better finish than we had hoped for at the sta of the season, but the end was not pleasant. All that said, I expect as good or better outcome this season. So should all of us.
  9. Lotta words to come up with a new motto for texags: Snuff the Rooster I think better would be Sniff the Rooster texags needs to offer a maroon t-shirt with that on it.
  10. Don't like going 0-fer in any class at any position.
  11. Are we saying south austin's mom is possibly a karst? Asking because not a geologist...
  12. Two things about this: 1) 10mm sockets are the tits 2) you can't have too many sockets oh, and there are times when a 10mm socket won't do, and you need an open end wrench or a box wrench. no, an adjustable ("crescent") wrench won't do. except in an emergency. like installing a drink holder in your shower.
  13. Imbecilic troglodyte has a nice ring to it, think I'll try to work it into my everyday convos. Damn, got some decent candidates for band names, mottoes, and I don't know whatall. Plenty esotercism, but too many syllables for those. By all means, work them into everyday life, particularly if the can be referenced to wives, girlfriends, children, relatives, neighbors, opposing institutions, and - most of all - aggy that you encounter.
  14. That would depend on your definition of "productive". If you mean "many punts", then, yeah, errbody hopes not. If you mean "regularly punt the ball dead inside the opponents' 10-yard lines", then errbody hopes so.
  15. Did you have "Starter and freshman RB out for season by mid-August"?
  16. Joke. Not particularly funny, but... joke.
  17. Bullshit. We need errbody to be super productive.
  18. Only a ton if it's in Washingtons. Use Franklins like a human would, and it's only twenty pounds. Comparing a Heisman-winning Rapelor alum to a monkey? Ehhhh, I don't know, maybe jusr a lilbitracist.jpg
  19. New Surly motto?
  20. About half of the P4 punters are Aussies, and most of those are from ProKick Australia. I reckon there are teaching materials available, and I'd be surprised if there aren't some "consultants" available. I've not seen a lot of Aussie place-kickers, and I think that's because ProKick is Aussie Rules Football guys, who do shitloads of punting with emphasis on accuracy in direction and distance but little on kicking the ball off the ground. Place kicking is moderately important in Rugby, and the recent Rugby in the Olympics saw a couple of games lost because of missed conversions after trys. Most were missed from bad angles, and the angle is determined by the touchdown location of a try - the ball is placed perpendicular to where the ball is touched down. If the touchdown (no try if ball isn't touched down) is scored out by the corner, you've got a very bad angle for the conversion kick. Interesting Rugby factoids: the successful try is 5 points, and the conversion is 2 points. The term "try" came because you don't get points until you touch the ball down on the ground, then it's a "touchdown". We should probably change American Football's "touchdown" to "plane break". The reason the "point after" is called a "conversion" is that the old rules gave no points for a try/touchdown, and you "converted" the try by kicking the ball through the goal posts.
  21. Online thesaurus FTMFW.
  22. Racist, or sexist, if not both. Ban thread, rotate user to right rear, deflate.
  23. Yellowjackets are irrationally irascible little bastards. They like to nest on the unferside of wooden fence caps, too.
  24. Falls forward farther.
  25. Bond, agreed. Looks good on paper/vid, but Agiye looked decent, too. Ewers, looks good as well. If he quits side-arming shit five feet off the ground and goes a whole season without getting squashed or trying to run over linebackers, he'll show higher.
