Well, I was attempting a joke that was apparently too subtle and not funny. Miami plays Florida State next weekend. Get it? Get it?

Las Vegas go hard or go home thread
closetojumping replied to bigup2dahorns's topic in Food and Travel
Mon Amie Gabi went sideways after the pandemic and then also raised prices. Used to go religiously for brunch, twice a year, once on each visit. Haven’t been there in 2 years and not going next week either. Fuck skimping on quality while raising prices. -
Well, I was wrong about no repeats, obviously. I like what I see, nonetheless. My logic for what I did think we’d see was rooted in this, though. Were the big prize for home games for all of these SEC backwater programs.

Okay, I’ll go. Not a doctor but just experienced first hand some trauma for someone right in the same body region. My middle son just broke his forearm at the wrist in the most Tim Krumrie/Joe Theisman fashion possible. Nothing but skin and tendon holding his hand to his body. 11 Y0 in warmups for his first tackle football game ever. Gruesome shit they wouldn’t replay on a telecast. Took the ER room with 4 people to make 4 attempts before successfully resetting it, per an ER doc. We weren’t in there while they did it. That was on a Friday night. The recommended orthopedist saw us on Monday morning, he had surgery with a pin placement on Tuesday, and they put him in a hard cast 8 days later. That was last Wednesday. If everything is okay, he gets the cast removed in 3 more weeks and then has 2-4 weeks of rehab and can go back to baseball and basketball if he’s pain free. Anyone saying Mateer will be back in 3-4 weeks is completely full of shit. Bet the over.

For Miami? Indian food?

Apparently Collin Klein is a leading candidate for the job. I can’t even imagine how hard I would laugh at that.

Thamel is reporting a broken hand and recovery will take a month. Sounds optimistic on recovery. He's only the guy that started against Texas last year.
-
Several guys allegedly connected to the program on Sooners Illustrated are saying it's a torn ligament and out 8-10 weeks. The quotes from Venables indicate optimism for a return "sometime this season". Sucks for Mateer, great for us.

People keep saying this, but usually thumb surgery is a pretty big deal. I'm not saying out for the season, but coming back in less than 3 weeks and being functional? That's a hell of a recovery.
-
Unlike this season, next year's "cupcakes" aren't exactly scrubs. UTSA and Texas State are good non-P4 programs if those two coaches remain at each spot. May not mean a ton for the mouse, but I doubt either game is relegated to SECN+, so it's something.

Fuck the college football world if they can't take a joke. I'll take the wins however they come. No one deserves more shit being shoveled in their face than OU. They just fucking overtly cheated in the game in which he got injured. Karma is a motherfucker.- 7802 replies

One thing that has always struck me about the t-shirt thing is that, when that story passed by, I went to find the picture. I saw it and thought "I don't get it?" and then googled OAN. Had no idea it existed. I have DTV and YouTubeTV (I have wifi issues and I am not a poor, don't judge) and I feel pretty certain neither carries that channel. He was hardline resistant to being involved with NIL and he handled the portal almost as poorly. One thing we, and I mean people on this site at the time, assessed correctly at the dawn of NIL was that it was going to be a really big fucking deal. By the time guys like Gundy figured it out, it was like the CFB version of having a dye pack explode in their face. They were fucked from their mismanagement of the bag game to the NIL game and it had become a runaway freight train.
-
I'm not "pretending" all I want. It just wasn't some major thing on my radar, and I follow CFB religiously. It damned sure wasn't important enough for me to bank it and recall it every time the guy's name gets mentioned, and even more absurdly to then sprint to the message boards or social media shrieking about it the way you and others appear to do. No one is putting words in your mouth. You have a visible posting history. You bring up the controversy that you fixate on whenever someone deigns to mention Gundy in a positive light. You don't just get to wave that shit away when you're challenged on it because it makes you uncomfortable to the point of name-calling in an effort to make it go away. Also, same is true with "snowflake". That's a projection on your end. You're behaving like a "snowflake", and you're insecure about it, so you lob it out there like an incendiary device. It doesn't work. It a sign of your rhetorical weakness to name-call, not some sort of thing I'm going to take personally. There are a lot of things in "recruiting circles" that are a big deal that aren't to the rest of us. North Shore people are convinced right now that there's a good chance a NS player would be forced to polish the governor's shoes on a daily basis if they signed with Texas.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
closetojumping replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
Tennessee and Georgia beating each other's ass up and down the field punishes both of them for this kind of ranking and invalidates the whole fucking thing. Auburn gave up 10 sacks and they're ranking in at 6. Okay then. -
You and others bring up the "Gundy is a big conservative meanie!!! that t-shirt!! that fucking t-shirt!!!" stuff every time anyone says anything about the guy. I was mostly paying attention when the story happened and don't remember it being much of anything. It certainly wasn't some "in-your-face" national story for weeks or months. GTFOOH with those histrionics. If you made it a big story to follow in your own world, cool, that's on you. You lazily and angrily resort to banal name-calling the minute you feel your worldview even getting a teeny bit challenged. You did the same shit with the Arkansas QB who wound up being falsely accused of rape when a few of us simply mentioned wanting to understand the story better. Calling someone a "fucking weird bitch" and a "god damn freak" and then telling them they're mad is unintentionally ironic and funny, though, so you have that. There isn't a sane person reading this thread who could look at my prior post and then see yours and think "well, yes, that looks proportional".

"YOU'RE A PUSSY!!!" "NO, NO, NO!! YOU ARE A PUSSY, BUDDY!!!" -
Ahh, yes. The halcyon days of 2020, where everything made sense and for which everyone should be held accountable for the rest of their lives and should never live down anything that they got wrong during that period. Right. I don't really follow half the shit some of you guys get bent out of shape over, this Gundy stuff included, but seeing someone act incredulous over the notion that people checked out during that psychotic year of dystopian bullshit is fucking comical. All of the political whining, fear-mongering and potshotting about Gundy's personal views is fucking boring, as usual. It comes up every.fucking.time.he's.mentioned. The guy is a character who will say both funny and idiotic shit about football and would be awesome if given a slot on one of the CFB platforms. While not true of the demographics of this site, for the most part, most viewers would find him entertaining and not give one shit about viewpoints he espoused 5+ years ago. It's a given that he's a clown. That has been known and mocked about him for 2 decades. He had a fucking mullet for years, for Christ's sake.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
closetojumping replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
Update after 4 games: -Kyle Flood still needs to be fired, right fucking now. -"We played like shit the first 3 games and don't even fucking talk to me about defense. Why would I care about the Texas defense when the offense is chock full of fatasses and dullards who cannot improve?" -The Texas defense is probably worse this season. -The interior DL is probably worse this season. -Guilbeau is probably going to cost Texas multiple games. -Arch Manning is going to cost Texas multiple games. -Connor Stroh is going to cost Texas multiple games. -Florida will play their best game of the year against Texas. -Vanderbilt is a fucking concern. -Arkansas is going to be a problem. -Forget the playoffs. -The running game is incapable of improvement. -Sarkisian has likely held nothing back for use in upcoming match-ups. We've seen this offense and it fucking sucks. -Kwiatkowski has likely held nothing back for use in upcoming match-ups. We've seen this defense and it's just okay. -Expect other teams to keep getting better. -Do not expect Texas to get any better.- 7802 replies

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
closetojumping replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Florida 247 has a writer who wrote an article today that might as well be called "The Vultures Are Circling Florida's Carcass For These Recruits". He laments FSU being the leader at trying to flip guys, but Texas also gets mentioned for Guervil: "Kendall Guervil Guervil has been committed to Florida since July 2. A little over a month later, he shut his recruitment down with the Gators. Florida State and Texas have been in touch with him, especially after his knee surgery due to his season ending ACL and meniscus tears. Guervil has had conversations with the staffs at both Texas and Florida State, but no visits have been set to either school. He made it to the Swamp for Florida’s matchup against USF." Pay attention to this one. He may have already quietly visited Austin again. If not, it's got a good shot of happening. They also discussed Heze Kent, but no mention of Texas on that one. -
A player can play in 4 games max and retain the ability to redshirt. Not surprisingly, there are rumors of multiple players contemplating phoning in the rest of the season across the country. I'm sure we'll get at least one news story from someone sitting out from here forward. A QB at NCSU did it last year or the year before, but I know there are others that I'm failing to recall. Regarding a medical redshirt, I'm not a staunch rules dork, so I have no idea. Someone would have to go look that up.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again

My point, using color for those readers who aren't afflicted with Asperger's, was that you've said all of this shit already. It should surprise no one that you went ahead and just more or less said it all again here. -

You've articulated all of that multiple times on this thread. It's clear you think voicing all of it repeatedly is productive. You're doing it to make yourself feel better. "If I voice my concerns about all of the worst case scenarios coalescing at the same moment in time, at least others can understand our potential future state and I won't have to be Cassandra alone." You're now taking the position that the defense might be worse than last season. I expect to see you attempting to start really fleshing this paranoia out, while dismissing every performance leading up to your next post. Texas will shut down the UF offense, but you'll be back here wringing hands over how mid-passer Mateer is going to make our idiot coaches pay for their arrogance in putting Guilbeau on an island or some shit. Or you'll argue concerns over the pass rush not getting home or some other shadow that needs to be boxed. You've completely dismissed the results for the running game versus Ohio State because you think OSU strategically deployed a bend but don't break defense and that they could have just shut the Texas run game down if they'd chosen to do so. That's convenient because it unlocks your ability to lament, repeatedly, that Texas isn't going to move the ball well against decent to great fronts (as though every other team does). Then that feeds into "Arch Manning has to be good to great or we're fucked" sentiments and also allows you to highlight that you're not sure the skill guys are there to render aid, either. Then you sprinkle in thoughts about how the RB sucks and the true freshman is the best player there and needs to get the lion's share of the snaps, even though you have no fucking idea how good or bad he is in pass pro or as a receiver out of the backfield, both of which are facets that are kind of important to being a good RB in the Sarkisian offense. Meanwhile, you openly ponder the risk of playing the best version of every team left on the schedule, who will all apparently get better and build improvement for their weaknesses while Texas fails to get better on any end. We get it. Thanks.- 7802 replies
