  1. Hold on.... I'm interested in what "dick fingers" had to say here.
  2. Who would have thought that someone who called themselves "Chase the Bag" from North Shore would turn out to be an overrated mercenary douchebag? Username checks out.
  3. If you think an early season loss to someone like Ohio State will keep Texas out of the 16 team playoff, then you also think Texas is going to lose a couple more games throughout the season. A one-loss Texas that won the SEC and dropped an early season behemoth game doesn't have to worry about being on the wrong side of the bubble. Conversely, a Texas team with three losses wasn't going to win a title anyway. Scheduling big time marquee games only helps our brand, exposure, and recruiting even if we don't win them all. As you said, the system has changed, and a 16 team playoff changes the calculus of scheduling. Your concerns are more appropriate for the former 4 team system.
  4. Demanded cheese enchiladas as my Father’s Day meal. American cheese inside, cheddar on top, fresh onions. Magnifico.
  5. As someone who recently moved into Central Texas from East Texas, this was a good read. I admit having seen the various signs for different Black's BBQs and being confused so it's nice to have that story clarified.
  6. It's up there, but '05 Texas and '01 Miami take them, methinks.
  7. ESPN spitting fire.
  8. Judge Larry Joe Doherty of “Texas Justice” fame once performed as my band’s opening act at a wine bar in downtown Brenham. He read his cowboy poetry. Also, a man claiming to be Kevin Black, Clint Black’s brother, once joined my band for a rendition of Jumping Jack Flash at a bar called The Upper Deck in Willis. Once Jim Edmonds glared at me from the outfield in Houston when my buddy yelled “Hey Edmonds, catch these balls” right when he was trying to make a play. He dropped the ball, loaded the bases with a credited error, and one batter later Lance Berkman crushed a grand slam for the win. To this day, we believe that we won that game for the Astros. Those were my brushes with celebrity. Like Icarus, I flew too close to the sun.
  9. I just saw this but yes that is fair. Pay before the tourney begins. There was plenty of warning.
  10. Backcourt: Pete Maravich Magic Johnson Frontcourt: Lew Alcindor Bill Walton Larry Bird
  11. Goddamnit. The University President woke up to a mugshot of his head basketball coach on the front page of ESPN. Doesn't matter after that. He said, she said, who gives a shit? That won't fly at the University of Texas, period. The individual circumstances of that individual night are immaterial. It would have happened eventually anyway given their temperaments. Beard should have dumped her when he had the chance. He didn't, so here we are.
  12. Should have known to pick against the Aggies. Goddamn spreadsheet.
  13. Someone in the know have any idea to what degree Sark was influenced by money/powers that be on this hire? Seems atypical for him based on previous hires.
  14. One year rental and then we hire the real coach?
  15. I almost bought it yesterday. Not too worried about the differences from past versions or anything like that. What halted me was the bullshit business practice of not including everything in the base game. If you want all the leaders and their UU and UA, you have to shell out almost twice as much for the “special” version that includes everyone. That right there is why they’re not getting anything out of me until it’s complete and goes on sale. I would be ok with a slightly buggy game on release that needed patches, as long as I got the entire game on purchase. This locking content behind additional paywalls is bullshit.
  16. That is clearly Blake Griffin in a wig.
  17. Conspiracy Theory: Tucker is the most accurate FG kicker in history. After this last season, his percentage plunged and now shitass Harrison Butker is within half a percentage point of him. Knowing he was on the downward slide, and with his status as the GOAT in jeopardy, Tucker had his people leak the rumors to the newspaper and point them in the right direction. Now he'll be forced to retire with his FG percentage intact, with no danger of further slippage. Fin
  18. Much like when Bert Auburn lined up to kick during this past season, I will hope for the best and expect the worst.
  19. Congrats NorthLoop, well played.
  20. Watching ND physically work OSU makes me sad and angry about what could have been.
