In honor of Veteran's Day. I'm curious about how many times in the few years after this picture was taken that the guy on drums tried to convince anyone who would listen that he really did play drums for Jimi Hendrix.

I don't know shit about AI, but that article sounds like something that would be spit out of a computer being asked to write an article on Steve Sarkisian turning down a request by Jerry Jones to become the Cowboys HC. Pretty weak.

While I agree with his statement, at this point do any current students really care what MM has to say about anything? He's probably the same age as most students' parents, and I'm guessing they mostly just see him as another old guy who used to be famous for his movies, but is now famous for being famous and is having trouble giving up the spotlight. And while we're on the subject, why does MM always look like he needs a hot bath and a shave? Then again, I'm an even older guy, so maybe I have it completely wrong, and MM really is some kind of relevant cultural guru.

1980 SMU game. Complete gut punch. That season started with a nationally broadcast Monday night game in which Texas completely destroyed Arkansas. ABC had moved that game up specifically because they wanted the Texas-Arkansas game to be the first nationally broadcast game of the new decade. This was the game where freshman LB Jeff Leiding did his Superman imitation and almost killed an Arkansas kick off returner, and also almost killed himself in the process. The only time I heard over 80,000 people gasp in unison over a hit. Anyway, Texas dominates that game, wins the next 4 easily, including a pretty convincing win over OU before the bye week created by moving the Arkansas game. So, we go into the SMU game rested and ready at 5-0, sitting at number 2 in the polls. SMU was 3-2 and hadn't beaten Texas in something like 13 years, and was showing no signs of being able to do so this year. The much vaunted "Pony Express" backfield of Craig James and Eric Dickerson hadn't shown much by midway through their sophmore season, so I and everybody else in DKR was expecting an easy win on our way to playing for at national championship, as all of our "hard" games were behind us. All of this made the complete domination of Texas in this game all the more puzzling and infuriating. It was the first time is over a decade that Texas didn't score a TD at home, and the 20-6 final score really doesn't show how thoroughly Texas was beaten down. SMU didn't lose again until BYU beat them with a last second TD in the Holiday Bow, and Texas went on to finish the year at 7-5 with a loss in the Bluebonnet Bowl to UNC, which featured a senior LB name Lawrence Taylor. There is no way to adequately express the suckage that was the 1980 season, and I believe it gave us Longhorn fans the first indication that there might be some kind of rot taking hold and that the wheels were coming off the machine that was Texas football.

You're assuming that what Sark says to the press about what he said to his team after the loss is actually what he said to his team after the loss. Perhaps it is, but I'm confident the tone and the message are VERY different today, and for the rest of the week.

I wasn't there, only watching on TV, so maybe I missed something, but it sounded to me like they were chanting, "U G A U G A".

Check out George Jones's bass player in the background...an 18 year-old Johnny Winter. Picture was supposedly taken at an appearance in Vidor, Texas in 1962:

Not counting the band, there may be dozens of people in the stands.

Florida International at UTEP about to start on CBSSN, for anyone desperate for another game to watch.

Probably meth...he's an ou shill

Remember when many on TOS were concerned that Colorado State was going to hire Vance Bedford away to be HC? I 'member.

Hmmm...you know what's best for Arch? Interesting. Then you should know that he already has "grandkids set for life" money.

I dispersed a load in your mom last night. Sorry man...I couldn't leave that hanging curve ball out there.
