  1. Distracted that someone else was scoring against A&M for the first time in 13 years?
  2. The tour of MLK's boyhood home is good, especially if you get the blind guide. Its about a mile outside downtown. The Aquarium is downtown. I've always liked the World of Coke, but its not everyone's "taste." There is a tasing room with flavors from around the world.
  3. The same is true of Georgia. SEC is tough.
  4. I had that same question. Isn't the play dead when he starts to slide? It got knocked out after he started to slide but before his knee hit.
  5. Other than the Covid year, they never finished better than 3rd in their division. Basically they did the same as in the Big 12 South. They were consistently behind us, OU and Tech. In the SEC they were consistently behind Alabama, LSU and usually at least 2 of the rest.
  6. After they won their lone MNC in 1939 they only won 3 games against Texas over the next 35 years. And that was with Bear Bryant and Gene Stallings as coach (each won one of those 3).
  7. CFP standings week 14. Boise is rated ahead of Clemson. Clemson, who lost to UGA 34-3, is rated ahead of Alabama and Ole Miss who beat Georgia. Tulane with the same record is rated ahead of BYU and Iowa St. who play in the Big 12, and of course 3 loss Kansas St. who beat Tulane. This may cool the desire for adding more strong teams. Maybe the SEC would be more interested in North Carolina and less interested in FSU or Clemson. Or maybe think going beyond 16 is a bad idea. Or it may also push the SEC to try to get the Big 10 to take their balls and leave.
  8. I didn't see the posts upboard before I saw the more recently one. When I looked the 2nd time I saw the spelling.
  9. Nah, that was hiring the lazy, stupid Charley Strong and the unable to recruit Tom Hermann.
  10. DKR and his friends tried to sabotage the program. Mack did not. DKR's friends were telling recruits not to come to Texas because DKR was ticked at the way he was forced out and mostly ignored as AD. Earl Campbell once said he was ashamed of DKR. Yet we put his name on the stadium with the Memorial for the vets. Mack is 6th all time in wins with 282, behind Paterno 409, Bowden 357, Bryant 323, Pop Warner 314, Saban 297 and tied with Amos Alonzo Stagg at 282. DKR is 32 with 184. If he had coached another 10 years to 65 and only matched what Freddie Akers did and got fired for, he would have 270. If he had coached to 70 like these other guys, he would be up there with the Bear. Complacent Mack was a better coach than Strong or Hermann. Looks like we are finally out of the wilderness. It took Mack to get us over the mistakes of pushing out DKR and Akers.
  11. Is this for real? Its real funny. Its from the "althetic" not the "Athletic."
  12. Its a headline on ESPN, 6th on their front page. The story is dated yesterday. Don't remember seeing it on here (of course I could have missed it), which is why I posted.
  13. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/42273836/ncaa-suspends-limits-official-visits-college-football Guess he just wasn't happy with playing time. Weird to love in the middle of the season with playoffs possible. "Texas coach Steve Sarkisian confirmed Cook is moving on during a video conference Thursday, calling it a mutual decision. "We have nothing but respect for he and his family," Sarkisian said. "We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors....""
  14. I'd save "creepy" for Penn St. and that guy at Michigan St.
  15. Comes down to records of conference opponents. No way to tell at this point, but right now LSU's are +3 ,UGA's are -8 and UT and aggy's are -4.
  16. I don't think any of the calls were wrong, but there sure were a lot of calls against Texas on key plays.
  17. I guess he's never heard Kirby! He would be REALLY foul mouthed by Surly standards.
  18. Right. It thought some of you were crazy for recommending him here. And its not that he didn't comment. He walked away without saying "no comment" or "the university has already released a statement. You will have to ask them." You don't just walk away. He went after a UGA player after a game when he was at Vandy because he thought he made a dirty play. When a UGA coach intervened there was nearly a full fight. I don't ever remember a head coach doing that with an opposing team.
  19. Yeah. I don't know who is going to show up at QB. You also forgot the Jan 24 Washington Quinn, his worst game last year. So it could be UT 24 Vandy 20, or UT 52 Vandy 10.
  20. Well it is interesting that throwing things on the field is 250k. Throwing mustard bottles and golf balls at the opposing team is 250k. Rushing the field is 100k the first time.
  21. I think there's a lot bigger issue with gamblers paying the refs than trying to screw teams. Those Oklahoma St. refs HAD to have money on that game. They couldn't hate Texas and Strong that much.
  22. They're whining about being robbed because they didn't get what was the worst call since the Oklahoma St. fumble in what 2014? And then they claim they were robbed in not getting the TD at the one, which looked like a good call to me. The ones who watched it on TV are trashing Texas fans and talking all kinds of shit. The ones who were actually there all had great experiences.
