There have been rumors of him being a heavy drinker for years. You’re a doctor, does that look like someone not hammering the sauce?

The most hilarious part about all of this is there is a zero percent chance that any fan would want to see retribution against the source on this. It would devastate their season. Elko is allegedly considering banning family from practices now. This is funny shit and this fat fuck Elko appears out of his depths. It’s nothing drinking multiple handles a night can’t solve for Elko though.

Sydir Mitchell, and I swear I find this hard to believe and assume it is being passed around for humor and not an actual truth, struggles to get through team warm-ups and then group warm-up follows before they start actually running drills or plays. It’s like pulling some of you off the couch in your pajamas and forcing you into hard calisthenics in 95 degree weather while wearing a helmet. Same outcome.

You make a great point about CU being relevant again. Colorado should never be down the way they’ve been, for as long as they have been. They have a beautiful campus, a quality brand, okay academic rep, and they’re located in one of the better spots on the map. Colorado the state doesn’t have a ton of talent, but the greater Denver area produces some quality. Then, CU should be pulling plenty from Texas, California, Arizona, KC, STL, and the Pacific northwest. McCartney and then Neuheisel knew this and did this. It’s absurd that they turned most of those spigots off.

Yeah, I agree about best team versus best season. I still think Texas could do both, but this second post on ND sums up what I’ve been writing about for months as well. I was kind of shocked to hear one of the legit reporters/insiders for ND on XM 84 this week speaking candidly and with eyes wide open about this season. He said that the schedule is unforgiving, but not in the way you’d think - it’s transparently light barring some surprise teams. As a result, if they lose two games, they do not think they’re getting the old Notre Dame benefit of the doubt. He said they (staff, admin, people around the program, Freeman) have looked at other teams’ schedules and feel like there are going to be too many 9-3/10-2 teams from the P4s with better resumes. You just never hear that kind of stuff in public unless a program knows that they’d look like idiots to position it any other way. With all of that considered, the dude was answering the question of “most important game on your schedule” and he concluded that they all know, without a doubt, that they have to win the game in College Station. As much as I enjoy despising Notre Dame, I respect their outlook and felt assured that they’re not walking into aggieland feeling entitled.

Manny Diaz can be beaten in a race, unless the finish line is the sideline.

If you splice the electric cord to your microwave oven and connect one piece to the tv and the other to the big antennae outside the screen door of mobile home, you should be able to pick up signals from all over the world.

I’m sure you know that you can find Arnold and the gang streaming somewhere.

I find your behavior on this thread and the Left Behind thread to be some of the funniest shit on this board. On this thread, the sooners mostly read your shit, take a long drag off of their almost dead cigarette, breathe it all in and then basically look at you and say, “well, yeah, sure, but fuck it, we won a lot” and then go back to watching their black and white tv with a rerun of Green Acres airing. On the Left Behind thread, you post the same bits over and over but through the span of breaks lasting for weeks or longer. It’s just enough time for the shriekers to have calmed down so they then start pulling their hair out again while furiously typing out the same rebuttals.

I know I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating - Shadeur Sanders is not going to be a top 10 draft pick. It’s comical that some idiotic talking heads have thrown that out there and it’s stuck. He’s physically gifted but not extraordinarily so. His non-physical traits are a fucking nightmare and his off the field baggage makes him almost undraftable. Outside of Jerry Jones, I don’t know who would be dumb enough to invite the most absurd helicopter parent of all time into their tent.

A great scene in a great movie. Pine’s soliloquy at the end of the movie is the best description of what it felt like in terms of trying to get out of the poverty trap that I’ve ever seen.

Anything that comes out with green beans on it is being sent immediately back to the kitchen. Just hateful, terrifying shit.

I’ve gotten into a few fistfights in truck stop parking lots. None recently. Truckers aren’t very tough, provided you’re actually facing them. Dark times growing up.

They need to make Turd Ferguson wear an oversized hat when he pitches.

You never know when you’re going to be needed, from my view. Needed for a sprint, a sprint relay, for WR depth, maybe as a running back or offensive coordinator. It’s why I’ve always got a pair of cleats in the trunk of my car and in my suitcase.

I’m buying Ewers and Banks stock, as well as Cam Williams, and I am selling all of my Bond stock.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!

Hey, look man, you left. This place hangs by a thread even with guys like you here. Any minute and this place can start chasing its tail over the dumbest shit ever. Miami has more than Ruiz in NIL. They’ve got their reasons to be doubted but they’ve gotten better on that front.

I don't think they're moving anyone to TB. That considered, there isn't currently a shortage of backs. There might be, arguably, with other injuries, a need for someone to get involved with short yardage situations. How do midgets like Bolden or Niblett help there? Niblett solves nothing at TB. Good lord.

I went to check out whatever comments you guys were discussing regarding Gerry and Fasusi and couldn't find shit. Fasusi was shown a really good time in Norman. Texas, for better or worse, doesn't run the same type of visit these days. If that's enough to push him to OU, okay then. The guy isn't viewed as having a "football first" mentality but is still gifted enough that he could wind up in the NFL if he just keeps his shit together in college. He's a hard recruit to just write off, but there's more risk on him for a player of his athletic level than there should be. Conversely, Rogers is less physcially gifted but, as of his senior year, more interested than Fasusi is at excelling in football. Other thoughts from bullshitting with friends: Schlossnagle didn't honestly anticipate the opportunity to get Williams. Internally he was rated as a guy going pro and getting drafted high enough to justify it. Miami has an allegedly ridiculous offer out there to Ffrench. As of now, seems like Ffrench would still prefer to leave the state and not go somewhere OOS with a lot of family around, like, say, Baton Rouge. There's still a lot going on with the DT stuff. Plenty of reasons to be optimistic if you need to be, including missing on Sanders, IMO. I'm from Missouri on the Fabulous Kenny Baker Boy at this point.

I’ve always found the fact that DKR played at OU but became a UT legend to be pretty fascinating.

This isn’t English.

Texas has elite returners, an elite coverage game, and a top notch kicker. They’ve been in the top 10 under Sarkisian by most groups that measure ST overall. Thinking too 3 and maybe number 1 isn’t some sort of stretch.

Well, don’t think too hard on it then.
