  1. Musk has been manipulating Twitter/x content to push his own political beliefs. If you don’t believe that, ask yourself why his posts are at the top of your feed every time you log in. Fuck him.
  2. Is this supposed to be the Texas off-season thread? I hope Texas is using the same training system as Jayden Daniels. Explains a lot about his performance at LSU and in the NFL so far. https://www.profootballnetwork.com/genius-jayden-daniels-unique-vr-training-routine-sends-fans-frenzy-lifestyle/#:~:text=Daniels has embraced Virtual Reality,how quarterbacks prepare for games.
  3. I hear what you're saying. My comment came from just my general perception, more than looking at it from the final season statistics. Bond was injured, so there were some extra catches available there. When I looked at the season passing yards stats for WR's, both Wingo and Moore, who were starters, were pretty far down the list in yardage. But to your point, if you assume Golden takes 750-1000 yards, Helm takes 750-100 yards, Bond gets 500 due to injuries, they probably didn't finish all that low on yardage/catches. I expected at the beginning of the year for one of Wingo or Moore to actually show more than Golden. Golden ended up being a strong as people thought. Wingo is special and should have much higher numbers in 2025 and even Moore imo is capable of a lot more. We need to make sure we are getting the ball in the hands of the really dynamic players. Not sure if Moore fits in that category or not. Wingo definitely does.
  4. One thing about the offense that has bothered me for awhile now is the fact that the supposed superstars are sometimes not getting the ball enough. Even though Wingo was a freshman, it seemed that both Moore and Wingo were underutilized. Or, are they not as good as we thought? With Wingo it might just be his experience level, but Moore should have done more. Will find out in 2025 imo.
  5. Wow this guy is an ugly terrible person. The internet and social media has laid bare the true thoughts and beliefs of people like this everywhere. I really didn’t realize there were this many terrible people in this country like him. I want nothing to do with people like this. I wonder if he will ever realize what a horrible human being he is and try to change.
  6. This really shouldn’t be that hard. Is there a peer reviewed study from acknowledged credible experts that the vaccine causes higher cancer rates? Yes or no. Then, show specifically credible evidence that Fauci knew this and covered it up. Without these two pieces of information the OP is just like the other 30% of this country that are morons who are gullible to any disinformation from people with political agendas.
  7. Note to self. Do NOT make another sarcastic post about Brees or any other Westlake player because this board will run with it seriously, like the topic of whether Pete Rose should be in the hall of fame.
  8. Same. When I think back to the decision to hire Terry, the problem is that CDC didn’t want to go with an unpopular decision, unpopular with many fans, important donors/boosters, and even ex-players. Without really understand the full dynamic of the situation, it’s difficult for me to criticize him. But most knowledgeable fans knew it was very unlikely to work out. So I’ve just unplugged from them for this year, hoping a change is made, or that Terry makes a miraculous step up as a coach. Im a little less worried now about who would replace him. I heard a name from some folks closer to the situation, and while I cannot share it without being kicked out of the trust tree, if Texas did land that coach, we would all be very happy.
  9. That Drew Brees guy would have been great.
  10. I’ve been in a four week war with two squirrels. They keep eating the branches off one of my trees. So I’ve tried various techniques to try and scare them off, with no luck. I’ve resorted to just throwing tennis balls at them. Two days ago I walked up to within 6 feet of one camped out on a limb eating, and I whizzed the ball within an inch of his head. He just looked at me and went back to eating. I despise these animals.
  11. I truly believe Texas was one play away from the national Championship. Any of those four downs at the goal line.
  12. A lot of wrong information about the Greathouse recruitment. I’m friends with a father of one of his hs teammates. Greathouse wanted to come to Texas, but early in the recruiting season Texas had him rated behind a few other guys. By the time Texas circled back around to him as a priority he was already locked into ND and Texas could not flip him.
  13. Wow, I can’t believe the Rangers got Bregman for less than the Astros offer. …JK
  14. Well of course. Look where he had to live.
  15. One bored Sunday I went back thru all the 4 and 5 star stats over many years and 4* was a 50/50 hit rate. 5* was 75%.
  16. Well I think this very simple description addresses all of the open questions floating around on this thread. Bring on the aliens. https://www.sciencealert.com/physicist-may-have-solved-the-grandfather-of-all-time-travel-paradoxes#
  17. I have small concerns about Flood. That OL in 2024 should have been much stronger in the run game. With that said, Campbell, Major, and Conner were all a little undersized. As I’ve posted elsewhere, I think there is a bit of a missing attitude on the whole offensive staff, including Sark, about imposing your attitude on the defense with the run game. They try to finesse the run game too much with misdirection and off-tackle, when they should also learn to execute basic off-guard quick hit plays better. Are there any Feb 5 surprises out there?
  18. This is not a joke. My last wishes include taking a Folgers can of my ashes and tossing them into the sea in Hawaii.
  19. In year’s past I was pretty negative on the techniques displayed by our CB’s. As a result I assumed Joseph was a B quality coach or worse. However, the defense this year was unbelievably good. I have a hard time making a change there given the results on the field this year. And they’ve secured just enough good CB recruits to hang in there as well. I guess if Sark knew of a clearly superior CB coach then maybe you make a move.
  20. Jeez, it’s like you all didn’t realize Kris was just acting out a scene from Seinfeld where Elaine shoves Jerry because she’s so happy and excited.
  21. Because I’m left-handed and I’m sick of the world ignoring my needs, so if I have to suffer we all have to suffer.
  22. Ate dinner out at a new restaurant, and ordered shrimp. It came in a thick, messy sauce with the shell and tails on. What the hell am I supposed to do with that? Any extra flavor from cooking in the shell is offset by the annoyance of having to spend ten minutes peeling shrimp and making a mess. Eff that.
  23. Recognizing we still need to make it thru the spring, the retention so far has been fantastic. While several of those guys on the list provide good depth, the only one on that list that really had the potential to break into a starting spot eventually and be a strong contributor is maybe Gullette. Maybe Mitchell but he hadn't shown it so far. Well done.
  24. What an incredibly insightful comment. Thank you for that.
