  1. Huh? This thread doesn’t bother us. I love this thread. Hounding your dumbass is more fun than it should be, but here you are living up to my expectations again. I can’t lose.
  2. This has been a big part of my argument all offseason. They’re getting a lot of credit for their roster and I don’t get it. They lost guys to the NFL and they’re replacing them with guys who aren’t getting drafted. They’re getting credit for returners and they don’t develop guys. So what if mediocrities are returning? Separately, the other major issue is that all of the breaks they got with their schedule last year are turned against them this season. Five true road games, three of the opponents ranked in the top 10. They’re talking about an easy blowout against UTSA. UTSA is a 2024 bowl team returning a bunch of good ballplayers with a good coaching staff. I’m not expecting a UTSA win, but I will be surprised if it is a walk in the park for ATM.
  3. Adjacent to our season, Bama lost Jam Miller for a lot or all of the year with a separated collar bone. Dude is good and they thought he was going to have a big year.
  4. Hell, I don’t remember posting a first one. You’re going to have to remind me.
  5. Gerry said he’s a bad fit for the Texas offense? You’re confident he said that, bill?
  6. I consider it some sort of banal version of performance art by slorch. It’s sort of the forum version of Tech’s athletic programs historically. Blandly mediocre, largely irrelevant and vaguely unfamiliar.
  7. Okay, let’s get a grip here. Texas isn’t hated in the media. Some folks resent Texas, sure. For most, things are better when Texas is contending, like’em or not. Same for an others like ND and USC. It helps their discussions. Also, I go to a lot of other fanbase boards. Everyone thinks the media hates their team. All of them.
  8. Yeah, I remember you saying that. I don’t remember Gerry saying it. I don’t think the staff purposely fucks with $9.95ers who put in work and share information. Two way street. Sometimes, the “billfromlaketravis filter” simply has to be applied.
  9. Spoilered below is an article mistitled by Tarp. He says it’s about the LBs, but it’s about the RBs. Highlights: -Tarp again pushes one of the most laughable bullshit premises that anyone talking about ATM seems to have to push -that Reuben Owens is a big play guy. If I remember correctly, the guy’s longest play from scrimmage is less than 25 yards and very few are more than 10. Where in the fuck did this notion come from? -He’s identified that some of the aggie honks have prematurely started pushing true freshman Morrow as the next big thing. This is happening because idiots who cover the team overrate 7 on 7 performance.
  10. Sort of like how Gibson is like 4th on the depth chart at this time? Are you sure this is actually what Gerry said, bill?
  11. Pretty sure they played for the conference title in 1997 and were routed. I think you’re thinking of their claims for the 2007? and 2010 South Division titles when they did not, in fact, play for the conference title.
  12. Does clickbait work?!?! JUST DID!!
  13. In that thread, one guy comes on and adds that half the stadium or more was maroon and that the aggies actually had the advantage in that game. They’re truly pathetic people.
  14. You learn quickly, Park. We’re all very proud of you here.
  15. The Elk could go full Fred G. Sanford on the sidelines during a meltdown this year. That heart could go at any moment.
  16. “What do you want to see against UTSA?” thread of mostly idiocy and delusion linked below. Highlights: -At least one guy is calling them “tusa “ -40+-10 blowouts predicted repeatedly. -Table stakes for one guy is 600+yards from the Klein offense. https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3553333
  17. More road futility goodness as they’re also talking about titles in the same forum:
  18. So the best #13 we can highlight in longhorn football history is a guy that had his big chance to separate yesterday and instead dropped 3 passes and was later relegated to providing water to the starters during red zone drill timeouts? Okay then.
  19. How were you able to get into practice and then also get a photo op with Sarkisian?
  20. I’m more interested in his posting behavior than anything. Not interested enough to go and actually look at it or anything, mind you.
  21. What does that have to do with anything?
  22. He may have structural issues with his hamstring and that may force him to pick a sport even if he’s feeling 100% at some point. People worrying about him aren’t being dramatic.
  23. Equivocating with the “everybody cheats” trope combined with the “i know players that told me explicitly about the dollar payments and all other arrangements” scenario is just awesome stereotypical football forum silliness. 1) many of us have known ball players during or after their time at Texas and elsewhere. A guy saying that is unlike most I’ve encountered. Sounds legit. 2) no, everyone doesn’t cheat. 3) for damned sure very few played the bag game. Texas did not. Go get fucked if you attempt to push that narrative further. Some of us lived this shit on both sides of that period. 4) Cam Newton’s father was confirmed to have received $200k from Auburn through his church before the Heisman was awarded. The NCAA ruled that there was nothing they could do. Either you are lying about your interaction with John David Crow or he’s a complete dumbfuck and you weren’t paying attention either. 5) lauding an aggie for his personality and good guy nature while telling us that Texas has cheated like everyone else has aggie stink all over your posts. I’m not one to typically call that or care, but it is jumping out right here. This fucking guy is trending towards crowdsource worthy here. I haven’t checked his posting history, however.
  24. He was fine and then basically tore it in week 1. I thought these two posts were attempts at sarcasm or being funny or something. Nope. After reading them again and seeing other responses, I see that vaginas are in full bloom on this site right now. HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! I have removed all expectations I had for Williams as a UT football player. Everyone should. If he’s healthy and playing again down the line, amazing.
  25. Can you two assholes get together and fuck or go to DMs for the rest of us here’s sake? Thanks.
