  1. That put him at 10 instead of 11. Bergeron went crazy against tech once too.
  2. god i already miss him. he was amazing.
  3. started following horns in 94. off the top of my head: 1. Ricky 2. JC; Freshman & Senior Benson; Bijan 3. a fuckload of distance 4. Sophomore and Junior Benson 5. i guess Foreman maybe. 6. Hodges Mitchell, Selvin Young (underrated, productive guys) 7. R. Taylor; Malcolm Brown; J. Gray 8. Shon Mitchell; Priest; Roschon; Ricky Brown; 2008 Fozzy 9. Other years Fozzy; Cody Johnson; Ogby; Bergeron; 2005 Henry "Shelton;" Tre Watson 10. Tre Newton; Vondrell McGee; Warren; Keontay Ingram; Ivan Williams 11. Daniel Young; Kenny Hayter; Victor Ike; Toneil Carter; Chris Robertson 12. Will Matthews 13. Fuckload of distance. 14. Kyle Porter obviously, if i had followed horns prior to that, Earl, Leaks, Gilbert, and Metcalf would all be 5 and above.
  4. it was so unwatchable, i stopped watching and went to fucking bed with cal up despite being jazzed up from the texas win in tuscaloosa.
  5. leaves are turning in austin too. but it is just because the trees died.
  6. i suspect it is more of a commentary on auburn than the agros. the auburn-cal game was the late game of the week a couple of weeks ago and auburn truly did look like hammered dogshit in that game. they had no business beating cal. They threw for a total of 94 yards and had 230 total yards on the day. auburn turned the ball over 4 times and the only thing that saved them was that cal turned it over 3. they were out-possessed by ten minutes and looked foolish. freeze and his no ethics shenanigans will soon have auburn competitive again but it is first year stuff right now. they are pretty terrible. i suspect the agro front four will have their "get the fans hopes up" day this week. on the other hand, this game can be wild and auburn will certainly be the first breathing defense that weigman has to face.
  7. Elderly Woman was really good the first night too…as was even flow. Between the two nights, the only song I wanted that they didn’t do was Just Breathe 4th&Five told me today that across 8 shows on this mini tour, they played 105 unique songs. That is utterly insane.
  8. 119th in passing success rate. 129th in rushing success rate. 120th in 3rd down success. we really need an explosive game, for the run blocking to elevate, and for quinn to find a consistent groove.
  9. yeah, it's not close to the secret world or growing up tours. not near the level of theatricality and energy but pete is old. no way he could do that anymore. it's honestly kind of miraculous he can still move as well as he does and hit the vox registers he does. feels like a swan song tour for pete so going to take as much advantage as i can.
  10. Fuck yeah, dude. Saw that show in London a few pages back and seeing it in Austin in a couple of weeks. How incredible was that cellist/vocalist? Manu still brings it, his drumming on Digging in the Dirt at the London show was insane. couple of vids from PJ last night. IMG_5148.mov IMG_5153.mov IMG_5154.mov IMG_5156.mov
  11. Practically a dream setlist tonight from Pearl Jam for me. I went both nights and am glad I sat close for tonight. Great time.
  12. a very good post. that last lines are fairly profound and very accurate. i have had a harder time managing some instincts that steering me in the other direction over the last few years.
  13. just take the most unique and special environments of all of sports that is defined by it not being a home game or an away game for either team that are each other's most hated rivals and very simply replicate that for home games against wyoming. look, i am frustrated by the bizarre home game environment that i would describe as trying so god damned hard that it is hurting itself. it's like a dude at a party that is desperately trying to impress everyone as fast as he can. they need to chill. but acting like it's as simple as transplanting (imo) the greatest and most unique sporting spectacle in the country every year where the same variables are not at play is just silly. texas-ou is self-fulfilling because of what it is.
  14. keontay ingram, kyle porter, and chris warren vs. ricky williams, priest holmes, and shon mitchell. plus, the 2018 and 2019 defenses were brutal at times. plus, the refs royally fucked us in the 2018 big 12 champ game when ou's defensive backs suddenly became exempt from pass interference and defensive holding rules.
  15. well, when you consider the rest of the list... but seriously, of those guys, sam is the only one to play at a consistently high level for any period lasting longer than a week. sam played at a fabulously high level in 2018 from the usc game through the tech game. he wasn't bad for the rest of the season but he didn't play at a level of excellence like he did against usc, tcu, ou, west virginia, and tech. probably peaked against tech. played well against georgia at the end of the season as well. the rest of his career was pretty meh. everyone loves sam because he's lovable. i couldn't stand watching him attempt to throw...but his mid-2018 season has been the only more than a week at a time high level of qb play since colt got hurt against bama. buchele threw one hell of a pretty deep ball early in his career but had the worst coaching ever. case will always have the beatdown at ucla and the win against the agros. but he was terrible. gilbert should have been great. he wasn't. casey and heard flashed in random games but ultimately weren't great. i had irrational high hopes for heard. ash, swoopes, and whoever else don't merit consideration.
  16. brisket is gene chizik?

  18. for songwriter group, we did a robert johnson prompt with the option of doing 5/4 time per my request. never again on 5/4. what a pain in the ass. but i am doing two tracks on this one. the first one is my robert johnson track...i went with r&b this month. the final version will have some soulful "rapping" on top of it but not comfortable sharing that here so here is the version without the lyrics. careful with the subwoofers on this one. i did write a 5/4 track. i'm obviously not happy with it but i did it. it is more of a rock song...u2 style and will also have some lyrics on the final version but here is the instrumentation. even though it wasn't my intention, when i step back from it, it kind of reminds me of "exit" from joshua tree if exit hit you over the head with bass and sucked.
  19. the only thing saving them so far is that the bottom 5 of the league are all really bottom 5. there's some pretty bad teams this year. that said, they are completely hapless. i truly believed they would go down last year and was wrong by a single goal. this year looks worse.
  20. of course this has a lot of "trap game" variables in that we will get their backup qb, baylor's season is already over in any meaningful sense, it's hard to imagine them going above .500 in conference, and the only thing possible that could give them something to be happy about for the rest of the year is winning this game so we will get the nothing to lose kitchen sink from them. paired with texas feeling good about itself and me still not fully trusting sark and quinn, i'd normally not be able to help but feel that there's the potential for a wtf. that said, the thing that almost always overcomes that is great line play and we should be able to dominate them there in both directions. this would be a great game for the oline and a the rbs to get something dominant going which they obviously haven't yet. particularly because dave has been really effective at getting at our qbs under sark in the passing game. they will undoubtedly go three high-three down as much as possible so it's time for baxter, brooks, and blue to dominate and set some tone to the rest of the conference that 3high-3down isn't some sort of sark/quinn-defeating cheat code for the rest of the season. this is a great opportunity for sark to demonstrate he has exorcised his seven win steve-ness since these are the games he's always screwed up and hopefully for the running game to finally shine.
  21. read the original post you quoted again, plus all the stuff you very purposefully deleted in your quotation because you are a shit-for-brains troll, very slowly. see if you can distinguish me describing the central essence of the polarizing nature of deion and the mindset of those who dislike him from me expressing my own opinion regarding deion. i suspect you are not really capable of it but try anyway.
  22. you truly are the dumbest and silliest son of a bitch i have ever encountered on a message board, helo. not just for your idiotic and uninformed hot takes and being wrong about basically everything...but it is also clear that your reading comprehension level would be rightfully described as illiterate.
  23. i still say trixie is somehow to blame.
