  1. I just journeyed through the history of those accounts and came to the same conclusion. The squid account in particular is truly bizarre. It has retweeted a ton of random stuff about squids, posted a few football things, and then zeroed in on UM and Texas.
  2. You're comparing apples to oranges. If I'm a donor with unlimited funds, and UT football is shit, and everyone is struggling temporarily across the board in the pandemic, then I see no reason to come out of pocket to pay the athletic department's debts. Lenders will renegotiate with the university and all will be fine in a few years. There's just no need to pony up $40 million of my own money. However, if we have the rare opportunity to restore Texas football to national prominence by hiring one of the greatest coaches in a generation, that's a totally different value proposition. That's a chance to change the future and build a legacy. That's exactly the sort of thing that will get the attention of BMDs.

    Joseph Ossai

    I really want to give up on this team. Ossai makes it hard to do. I'm trying to think of who he reminds me of. Orakpo? Kindle? He absolutely changes everything on defense.
  4. If Urban says no, where are we? Everyone else has lots of question marks. Edit: that's definitely not a vote for Kyle. I'm just saying that everyone other than UM seems like something of a shot in the dark.
  5. If cdc won't do it now, then losing to Kansas wouldn't make a difference. We're at rock bottom already.
  6. No shit, but if we don't get urban, then we're not likely to win enough to make a difference.
  7. We're in a really, really bad place right now. Unless we get urban, we're basically screwed for AT LEAST 3 years, probably more like 10.
  8. He beat Baylor by 11. Baylor. By 11. And you think he'll beat OSU?
  9. I'm really working to sober up. Thinking about taking a shot every time our team makes a good play.

    No commies. /no CR.
  11. That doesn't make sense. If that were the explanation, then we would be consistently worse than we should be. But we're not! If we're playing a good team, then we play better. See LSU or OU. If we're playing a bad team, then we play poorly (Kansas, Maryland). We're rarely, if ever, dominant, but we play almost every team close, regardless of whether our opponent is good or bad. There is no logical explanation.
  12. We always play to the fucking competition. It could be a shitty team like Maryland or Kansas, a good team like LSU or OU, or an average team like Tech or TCU. Regardless of how good our opponent is, the game will always come down to the fucking wire for no fucking reason. At least half of our games are won or lost by one possession. That's fucked up.

    Definitely a commie thread
  14. The Yahoo directory has a much better organization and over 1,000 indexed sites.
  15. If he wins out and wins the conference, then he should stay. But we all know that won't happen.
  16. It's because of the tech game. The defense was absolute shit, we scored a zillion points, and we still barely won. After that, the defense has shown improvement. It's still not Muschamp 2008 or whatever, but it's moving in the right direction and is not our biggest problem. Nevertheless, the narrative was written after the tech game and it's taking time to fix. It doesn't help that we've lost two games such that everybody wants to burn the whole thing down.
  17. In 2017 they did better than we did. In 2018 and 2019 they were slightly worse. And in 2020 we're about the same so far. But it sounds like he wouldn't come here anyway.
  18. Throwing them is an excellent idea. That's what he does at the very end of the video. But bending down to pick them up is risky. He should have gotten a few when the cougar was further back.
  19. The letter from Paul's attorney includes this snippet. The circumstances of the Search are among the most egregious examples of inappropriate behavior by government officials that I have witnessed in my professional expenence.As you are aware, just two of the many examples of the evidence supporting the Complaint filed by my Client include:-Evidence of tampering with government records by certain individuals involved in the searches that took place in August-Sworn testimony of an unaffiliated witness present during the Search that contradict government records So it sounds like tampering and/or falsifying "government" records? I don't see why the AOG would care unless the records were state records, but I don't know why the FBI would be creating or accessing state records.
  20. It's atrocious to watch so many decent drives just get destroyed by penalty after penalty.
  21. If Urban doesn't work out, I would be open to Patterson because he knows the conference, knows Texas, and is a very good coach, especially where we have struggled (fundamentals). But if both Urban and Gary Patterson are out, at some point I'd rather keep Herman in place until we find the right person than take a risk and end up with another Charlie Strong (or worse) for several years.
