  1. 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.
  2. Does clickbait work?!?! JUST DID!!
  3. 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.
  4. You learn quickly, Park. We’re all very proud of you here.
  5. The Elk could go full Fred G. Sanford on the sidelines during a meltdown this year. That heart could go at any moment.
  6. “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
  7. More road futility goodness as they’re also talking about titles in the same forum:
  8. 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.
  9. How were you able to get into practice and then also get a photo op with Sarkisian?
  10. I’m more interested in his posting behavior than anything. Not interested enough to go and actually look at it or anything, mind you.
  11. What does that have to do with anything?
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Can you two assholes get together and fuck or go to DMs for the rest of us here’s sake? Thanks.
  16. This guy is a once in a generation buffoon. He has no idea what he’s doing. Enjoy this.
  17. Everything the mods have been posting about the OL, while the actual practices have reflected uncertainty to the tune of guys getting moved positions and with 1’s, 2’s and 3’s, has looked like gaslighting. “Serevield sucked last year and in the spring, but now he’s an electric Left Tackle!” Right. They’re having problems there. They were fucked last year until asking Jackson to bite the bullet and play out of position at LT after other injuries. This is why they’ve also been hyping up other TEs with the resident posters saying “really, that guy is coming on? alright!” Their defense was great all year. Losing Knowles is the biggest deal for them.
  18. re: Baker A few good friends who have been to practices last year and since have become raving fans of the guy. Players and recruits love him. Good pick by Sarkisian that had a lot of us handwringing at the time because the dude was a relative unknown.
  19. Autocorrect on iphone. Some of us have it working in our favor, some of us are @SydneyCarton .
  20. At this point, I expect Jaggy as the starter. What has Mosley proven at Texas so far? Not enough.
  21. This is correct. The back and forth otherwise looks specifically personal between posters or disputed out of athletic ignorance and media/AD propaganda naïveté. Baxter may or may not be his old self again. None of us have seen him yet and the nature of his injury should make us all from Missouri. Hey, none of us wrote that shit.
  22. I think part of the problem when the “everybody paid players” trope comes up is the general fan’s ignorance of the difference between $100 handshakes, which boosters have been doing at programs across the country since at least WWII, and the bag game and buying a few difference makers every cycle from street agents for $50k+. Yeah, I’m sure guys at Texas found ways to get drinking money over the years. And yeah, I know for fucking certain Texas and another 125-ish FBS schools didn’t participate in the bag game.
  23. Another post on that thread pulls the inevitable but still hilarious maneuver of claiming hypothetical wins: JJxvi 6:01p, 8/14/25 If Texas had agreed to maintain the series, we would have won in Austin multiple times...
  24. In regard to ATM’s 2025 schedule, they play 5 true road games. This is an issue that has received very little discussion. ATM has been atrocious on the road for a very, very long time. Here is a link to a Texags thread with the usual ignorance, abject stupidity and trope-huffing that discusses their OOC road futility and attempts to rationalize it. One guy, “Mac94” comes along and rationally lays out actual facts while still aggiefying part of his subjective review. I’ve spoilered his data review posts below. Highlights: -ATM has played exactly 4 true P4 road games over the last 20 seasons. Read that again if you’d like. 0-4 in those games. (I’m not counting a non-P4 SMU in 2014, nor should you) -Since 1995, they are 0-8 against then P4 teams on the road. If you include Utah, Pitt, and SMU, although I’m not sure why you would, that record “improves” to 2-9. -Including bowls and fake P4 teams, from 1995 forward, ATM is 13-26, 11-25 otherwise. -Predictably, several goobers try to p-hack and pine for the golden years of Jackie Sherrill and just remove late Slocum and Fran-tastic seasons altogether. The Mac94 guy comes along and reveals that the Sherrill years provided a 7-13 road/bowl P4 record. -Culturally, ATM is a program in a bubble. People can claim that the right coach will come along and fix it. Maybe. I’m not buying it. They’re a historically bad road team for a program perennially opening nearly every season ranked in the top 25. -My view is that ATM goes 1-4 on the road this season. 0-5 wouldn’t and shouldn’t surprise anyone. https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3553009
  25. Bobby’s thoughts this morning on scrimmage outcomes, etc.
