  1. Shanahan is out. I don’t even know if their $9.95ers know who is going to play C on Saturday. Anderson is questionable and that usually means he won’t play. That dude’s NFL stock is collapsing in real time. Good luck to them at S.

  3. Apparently the dude was swayed by Iowa State. Oklahoma has lost two DTs recently and now they’re going to have to reopen recruiting the position. Also, they should really look into Bear Alexander in the portal.
  4. I didn’t want him and USC deserves him. Fuck that fat shitbag.
  5. Guys, please keep up of the legal conversation on non-competes. The rest of us are fucking riveted.
  6. Geez. The aggie fanbase is loaded with weak-willed men. Ron Swanson would not approve.
  7. Christ. How much weed do we think this guy smoked? Is Captain Doobage running through so much of that shit that he’s at risk of flunking out or something?
  8. Has anyone watched the guy? I’ve seen a little of him. He’s a far better running QB than passing QB. UNLV is winning as much because of their defense as anything.
  9. I actually have been. Agreed it’s dead, which is kind of nice. Went to Carbone for the first time last night. It was fine, I don’t blame anyone that likes to go there. For. me, Piero’s is way better, way less expensive and you can almost always get a reservation, even day before-ish. The server last night explicitly stated that the Carbone veal parm was better than Piero’s, out of nowhere. So I had to try it. It was good but Piero’s is the best I have ever eaten, anywhere. And $45 less expensive. They’re building some sort of structure in front of the Bellagio fountains that I don’t recall reading about here. It looked permanent but construction and engineering are not my bailiwicks. The conference I attended was at Caesar’s, so I played some blackjack to bide time when the craps tables were dead. They were paying 3/2 on blackjack, which I haven’t seen on the strip in forever. I thought it might be a Caesar’s empire thing, but no, I played some blackjack with my wife after eating brunch at Mon Ami Gabi yesterday and it was back to the shitty 6/5.
  10. Are they saying this on their boards or something? Last I was over on the ND 247 board weeks ago, Loy or Lemming or one of their guys was touting the promise of Carr, the highly ranked true freshman. Taking a new QB every year seems unsustainable, but it’s a new frontier, I guess.
  11. Some thoughts are best tucked away and left to enjoy all on our own, Skipper.
  12. Man, that is really ugly and bad for everyone involved.
  13. Did you eat a lot of paint chips as a kid?
  14. I have a friend who was dating Simms during that whole thing. She’s French and doesn’t give a shit about football, so she was totally ignorant and unprepared for what unfolded. Listening to her describe the overall experience and what he went through is both sobering and surreal. Mack mishandled it all, but Texas fans embarrassed all of us in that debacle. Texas should invite Simms back and recognize him the way they do so many of the past greats and celebrate him at a game. They’ve never done it. I know he never won a conference title and choked against CU and those teams never beat OU, but damn. My fear if they ever did have him on the field and show him on the big screen is that a bunch of the same fucking idiots would make his return feel shabby. That wouldn’t be on Mack. That would be on pieces of shit among our fanbase.
  15. Not really. He punched down just fine and then famously “got a ring” for all of the apologists and Lake Travis honks to point to, but beating up a bunch of midgets as a “can’t miss” five star isn’t anything to debunk his bust status at Texas and reveal the fact that he was overrated and sucked.
  16. I thought it was taking effect completely for this cycle. If not, my bad.
  17. He’ll be sitting a year, then. So will Arnold, for that matter.
  18. Aggie boards and social media now starting to talk about Weigman not showing up to practice. Heisman candidate transfer incoming! Dude is going to light the Big 12 on fire next year at Okie State.

  20. Obviously I didn’t have access, but I have some friends who did. One actually tried to speak truth to power in his own honest and unrefined way and paid a price for it. Same thing happened when Herman was in charge but the power dynamics for both sides were markedly different. Others tried to handle it more gently and would get left in the dark for small periods in order for Mack to remind them of who was in charge and the consequences for doubting him.
  21. Right. Everyone had it the whole way. Get fucked with this shit. We flew a fucking banner for the Iowa State game in 2010 in the midst of an 5-7 season but before it was fair accompli and the hue and cry from Shaggy posters was panic and angst over alienating Mack Brown. There was also the typical cabal of unfunny and joyless clowns who didn’t like it because of who was doing it, but that’s beside the point. The vast majority of Hornfans/Shaggy posters didn’t want to hear about it and had their head in the sand when it came to looking at what Brown and Co. we’re doing starting 2006. 2010 helped some but not all get religion. Many still defended Mack into the teens. Nowadays, the reality of the past is an orphan. The revisionist history has many fathers. I’ve been here the whole time and the notion that much of the board saw it straight is a fucking joke. I have the scars from it and I am always going to call bullshit on this kind of “shared history”. From 2006-2016, there isn’t a ton of shared history across the posterbase. @SydneyCarton @HenryJames good shit right here.
  22. The dude’s brother is a walk-on there or something. What could that guy possibly be telling him to keep him stably committed? I’ve said it before but if that QB willingly signs with ATM after seeing this season and hearing about the history of QB failure there, he immediately becomes the dumbest motherfucker on a college football roster.
  23. This is revisionist. When I showed up on Shaggy and started posting that the staff was lazy and there was an unwarranted boost that happened for recruits when they committed to Texas, almost zero posters were on board with it. I was taunted and negged and told I knew nothing. When I posted about street agents and told Seastrunk’s aunt that she was full of shit and they were on the take, regular posters still on this site were calling for my banning. Posters on Shaggy were as asleep at the wheel about where things were going as Mack Brown. Numerous folks were basically crying when I said Gilbert was a bad recruit to bet the farm on. Same for Swoopes over Barrett. Same for Mack Brown just deciding to cancel recruiting in Houston. Or taking a commitment from a guy in a wheelchair who was a 2 star recruit at Lake Travis. Or letting Mac McWhorter just add who he wanted within a 50 miles radius and no further of Austin. No, posters here and there didn’t have it the whole way. Glad we do now though. Sure.
  24. So OU is moving a backup CB to WR this week out of desperation. Of course, Venables isn’t framing it that way, and why would he?, but his comments are still classically over the top and unnecessary: "He's not a good receiver.; he's fantastic," Venables said. "He looked really, really good tonight. For a guy who hasn't been working that for a while, he was really, really good…. You know me — anybody that knows me, I don't really sunshine pump. That's not me. I try to use my words carefully, and so anyway, he was actually out there with them and running routes and looked really good and natural, as much as anything." Right. This is slow-motion train wreck shit at this point.
  25. Can we not do the stupid shit with names like “Tenner”? All of the dumb SEC nicknames reek of SEC Rant and idiocy. Everyone here did. It’s fantastic, really. The murmurs of Texas getting unfairly favored are growing. Fuck all of those whiners.
