Brent Venables thinks Conan the Destroyer is better than Conan the Barbarian.

But how would this team fare against 1945 Army?

Likewise! We are fucked on TE this year, evidently.

Apologies if it's already been discussed, but this is fucking hilarious to me. How many more teams will he show up on? Does he have infinite eligibility? Will he eventually be an aggie? Who knows what the future holds!

My opponent started him. I started Aaron Jones and Musgrave. Fuck fantasy football, indeed.

Wyoming is getting a better deal on their coaching staff than we are.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: I think it moved

If you research MAC spoofing, virtual credit cards, and VPNs, you can get unlimited free trials to whatever service you want. I haven't paid for Fubo ever, and Sling carries the LHN so they're next on the list.

I really like Worthy, except for the drops. That said, I have a hard time (not just here, but in general) taking bulk counting stats as an accurate measure when comparing across generations. The game changes so much, both schematically and architecturally, that Williams, Cavil, and Adams were not playing the same game of football that Worthy plays. Counting stats don't capture that. That said, Worthy's book is not written and if he's the number one guy all season for a potentially very successful Longhorn team, he could get there as far as historical weight.

You guys are welcome

But this is where I’m starting.

This is where I will inevitably end up this evening.

All of my Longhorn gear is cursed. Every shirt I own has lost a game. My autographed Colt McCoy hat has all the wrong mojo for this game against this opponent. So my wife and I made our own shirts for us and the boy. I went Tommy Nobis, since he beat Bama in the Orange Bowl. The boy wanted VY scoring against USC. The wife went with an old school logo. New season, new shirts. May the good juju flow.

I fell for the siren song of Kelce being out and Toney being potentially a beneficiary of that in the Chief's offense. Lesson learnt.

With Kelce out, do I start Toney, or keep my wait and see approach? I've got Scary Terry and Courtland Sutton in the wings.

Quinn may get it turned around, he may not. All I know is that the bill of goods we were sold stated that this was a can't miss, generational, potentially the greatest QB prospect of all time, perfect score recruit. Prospects like that don't struggle with basic mechanics in their second year starting under a "QB Whisperer". They don't finish 59th in the country by QBR against fuckin Rice. They sure as shit don't airmail routine deep balls with clockwork regularity going into their second season as starter. Maybe he was damaged beyond repair by the lost HS senior season, lost freshman season at OSU, and the clap from some buckeye coed. Because unless he's been purposely sandbagging and unleashes something we've never seen before for the rest of the season, we've seen what he can do. The point is, we didn't get a generational recruit. We got a maybe, POTENTIALLY good, standard issue QB who might someday grow into the offense. And we need to come to terms with that. I find that alcohol helps. EDIT: If this is the post that the universe chooses as the one to mock and Quinn turns into John Elway, you're welcome.

We’ve seen and rationalized enough middling performances against Rice to know how this goes later in the season. Offensive line couldn’t get push. QB couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn from 15 yards out or more. Our chunk plays were typically schemed rather than broken from a simple play against an outmatched opponent. These are basic issues rather than one-offs. I know we’re not supposed to overreact to the first game, but I didn’t see anything that made me feel better about problems that previously existed. Things didn’t look fixed. I think our ceiling is lower than I thought before the game. That said, maybe we play up to a diminished Bama and get lucky in a rock fight. Sark removes his head from his ass and stops wasting 1st downs, Quinn gains some confidence and the Rice game will be just a teaching point going forward. Here’s hoping!

Promises were made.

Halftime analysis: 1. Sideshow Bert is money 2. Ewers ain’t it. 3. We might have a defense 4. Put the koolaid back in the fridge.

This thread should be fun

Texas 48 Rice 7 Quinn 287 yds (not that many passing attempts, but at least 2 long bomb TDs and 1 long Whittington zigzagger where they bring him down on like the 10.

Nothing was riding on the TCU game. Small potatoes. Let's talk about the 1984 Cotton Bowl.

If it's actually Garbage that would be cool with me. (Crush on Shirley Manson back in the day) Agreed

He’s holding out for the Northwestern job.
