Point taken, but I, must, in all fairness, point out that every team you listed had much better QB play than us. Arch was just incomprehensibly bad today. And that is a problem most of our competitors don't have.

Arch Manning: Wearing Gold Hats and Firing Old Smokey
Tired Horn replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
What is wrong with Arch? As everyone has noted, he looked better than this when Quinn was hurt last year. I realize the offensive supporting cast is less than Quinn had, but Arch can't make even basic, easy throws. He looked sort of competent in the 2nd half last week, but tonight he's simply awful. WTF? How can he be this bad. He looks like me out there. -

Marginally beats a hotel in Indiana or Kentucky. Good luck with the surgery. -

That's a damn long drive. Be safe. -
So, I guess we don't completely suck, right?

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
Tired Horn replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
So, if I'm reading this thread correctly, Texas should just give up on football and become a water polo school? -
I have zero concerns going forward [OP is a Fucking Liar]
Tired Horn replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
Manning must have lost 18 on style points because he sucks so bad. Maybe we should just stipulate that we're all idiots. -
People need to calm down. We lost to a good team on the road by 7. and sloppily overwhelmed a patsy. There are things we need to improve on, but the season is still young.

Unrelated, but it reminded me of a joke I liked. It came from a review of "No Country for Old Men"; "This movie has more depressed Texans than a Dallas Cowboy playoff crowd." And honestly, when is the last time a Cowboy player really stepped up in the playoffs in a way that mattered? The whole dynamic on this franchise is just fucked up. Good luck, Micah.

I've always thought that somewhere along the line, when becoming the winningest coach in college football history became plausible, that Paterno lost all perspective in pursuit of that goal. Sandusky either directly threatened that pursuit (e.g., in the 2000-2005 timeframe when Paterno looked like a spent force as a coach, a major scandal could have convinced Penn St. it was time to move on) or threatened to render it meaningless (which he largely did). So, Paterno simply looked the other way until he couldn't, at which point it was too late for his reputation. Tragic flaws, hubris--Greek mythology is full of that. I could almost feel sorry for Joe, except that he was turning his back on kids being scarred for life. So, fuck him, and fuck his pointless record.

Well, they are the best team that routinely squeezes its nuts in public. Always have been. Fucking weirdos. -
Texas A&M Football 2025 - On the Edge of Glory(holes)
Tired Horn replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
All of them. What about their endless blather being different this year don't you understand? -
So, what are the golden days of Tech football? Off the top of my head, here are the top three in my football watching lifetime: 1. 1973 - Jim Carlen and Joe Barnes produced an 11-1 season with a Gator Bowl win over Tennessee. Might have beaten Texas to finish the regular season unbeaten if the game had been in Lubbock instead of Austin. Final rank = 11. 2. 2008 - Mike Leach went 11-2 just in time for a contract extension that they ran him off to be rid of the next year. Final rank = 12. 3. 1976 - Steve Sloan and Rodney Allison (with a little known assistant coach named Bill Parcels) went 10-2 and almost went to the Cotton Bowl. Final rank = 13. As far as a sustained era, I'd pick Leach. He got Tech consistent television coverage, making them feel relevant even when they were mediocre. Good luck in winning the Medium 12, you occasionally Red, occasionally Black Raiders.

it's a common story. You go back as long as close relatives are there, but once they all die or move, any remaining bond is severed. And yeah, Midland is no treat, either. But it does beat Odessa by a nose. I'd take Lubbock over either, though. But at least West Texas has an excuse. There's only so much you can do with that weather and terrain. It's not like Aggie, who has a fairly run-of-the-mill geography within easy driving distance of civilization, but who has deliberately chosen to be as freakish as possible.
