  1. You’re my new favorite poster.
  2. Without a doubt it was a poorly officiated game. I was frustrated too. But it can be that without all the hyperbole and conspiracy theories.
  3. Pass interference isn’t a dirty play. It’s a last-resort-after-you-got-beat play. Does the same cheater label apply to us too when we interfere? We will be called for a few this year ourselves. Probably some face masks too. If you guys think they were being coached to grab face masks you’re an idiot. Watch the Quinn hit at full speed instead of slo-mo. It’s not reasonable to apply any analysis of it based on slow motion. The whole thing was over in half a second. People are claiming in that half second he had the awareness to grab his arm, force the fall a certain way, etc…. It’s embarrassing. It was roughing and they called it roughing. It happened way faster than most of you are replaying in your heads. It sucks. We will probably rough the QB a few times this year too. Doesn’t make it ok but it also doesn’t make it the crime of the century some you are making it to be. Move on.
  4. I’d prefer the D Line as Gandalf. YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
  5. That’s true about East Rim being nicer than South. I tend to think of the whole area up there as South Rim but the campsites are called East for a reason and it is definitely worth the extra miles. Expect the temps to be at least 10 degrees cooler up there than whatever it is on the desert floor. My guess is warm days with jacket weather at night up top and long sleeve shirt weather in the basin at night. My only fall trip was last November and we got snow on the way down from Emory Peak. That was unusual though. It was that snowstorm that passed through a couple months before snowpocalypse.
  6. South Rim is pretty amazing and don't let anyone tell you that it's too much for kids that age. If your kids are troopers and athletic they can handle it. But if it were me I'd do that over two days and not all in one. All in one day is a major hike for even the most serious adult hikers. Someone else can give the specifics but it's got to be close to 20 miles round trip with a LOT of elevation gain for the whole round trip. My kids did it over two days and we camped at the top. I think there's only one spring to resupply water on the hike and it can be dry sometimes. There is no way around carrying a lot of weight if you need 2 days of water for 4 people. If you don't do South Rim, Lost Mine is the next most beautiful hike. 6ish miles round trip I think. You can also head up towards the South Rim and enjoy some scenic spots with good views inside the basin without actually going all the way to the rim. The border crossing at Boquillas is a must-do item if the passports get done in time. My kids have been to the park several times and that has always been their favorite part of it. There is an option to walk into town from the river, but don't. Take the horses. Those guys need the money and there are several muddy creek crossings and a network of trails to get turned around on. The kids will like the horse ride. There are 2 restaurants in Boquillas and we always eat at the one on the right as you walk into town from the Mexican customs building. I like it and the food is good, but the other might be fine too. I doubt anywhere in Terlingua shows the game. I could be wrong. There's the Starlight there but I don't remember any TVs on. The whole town is pretty much a place to escape TV and the real world. There is wifi in the Basin now. Not sure how reliable the signal would be for streaming, but it's there.
  7. You should cross post this in your Alaska thread. You have lots of folks there who would like to help you out that might not see it here.
  8. I was trying to figure out how they chose the order for places 2-9. It looks like they went alphabetical but someone in charge said, "Yeah, but fuck Baylor."
  9. If you meant Wright, he had offers from two teams that kicked the shit out of Texas last year.
  10. Did you even skate in the 80's?
  11. Texas: 41 UTSA: 6 Defense gives up 180 Our QB is… It don’t make a shit.
  12. It could be something totally wild like Ballard was better last year and Wright is better this year.
  13. I was there a couple weeks ago and it’s coming along. The building looks close to complete. No jetways are attached yet. Not sure of the opening date but I think it’s not too far off. Good riddance to that shithole terminal with its compartmentalized gates.
  14. Nobody can shit all over our own guys before they even attempt a pass like we can. Maybe Wright is in front of Maalik because a whole extra year in the program is more meaningful in this case than an extra star by your name.
  15. I think you guys are underestimating how quick that split second between initiating a hit and the ball being released is. It’s easy to see in slow motion but I doubt that pulling up in that particular instance would’ve been as easy as some of you are thinking. It sucks he landed on his shoulder like that and I hate the outcome but I have no problem with the hit. We’d be cheering It on if it was our guy hitting theirs that way. Part of the game.
  16. Love the Davis Mountains.
  17. That’s gayer than Brent Venables and Elton John in a bubble bath.
  18. Conversations about starting anyone other than QB3 are just silly. You recruit that many for a reason. If you can’t play with QB3 and have to resort to wildcat then why even have a QB3? Better to spend that ship on more linemen. Someone will play quarterback and that person will someone with plenty of recent practice reps. And we will mudhole UTSA with them regardless of who it is. For Bijan’s sake I hate seeing him miss time but we can afford to lose him easier than just about any other position. RJ and KR should be solid against any team we play all year.
  19. Short term: spend half an hour doing what this hot chick tells you to do. Every day. Long term: Hit the gym and don’t have a weak back. I speak from experience. Battled this for several years thinking rest and stretching were going to be enough. Every professional told me the same thing, your back hurts because you it’s weak and you asked it to do too much after spending too much time sitting. The harder I work it in the gym, the better it feels.
  20. Upper deck seats going for $126 at the moment on stubhub. Lower level around the 20 yard line going in the 200's.
  21. https://www.fubo.tv/stream/college-football/ Fubo streams Fox and has a one week free trial. Not sure if being overseas affects that or if a VPN is necessary. If so, Express VPN is easy to set up and has a minimal cost. I'll be out of town too and planning to rewatch the game a couple hours later on Fubo. If there's a flaw in my plan somebody let me know.
  22. Flat earther?
  23. Sark mentioned that a couple of those deep balls involved some route confusion. Quinn was expecting Worthy to go to a different spot. They weren’t necessarily bad throws. Not all of them anyway.
