Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
The guy changing my tire might be named Tim Beck. What do I do? Slap him?

Texas Basketball 2025-26: It’s Miller Time
I have appropriately low expectations, because the talent is limited. However, I think the coaching improvement will be better than many of us are expecting. Or, by definition do I actually have higher expectations because I’ve predicted results better than my expectations? Oh no, I’ve gone cross-eyed.

Why Does Mississippi State Exist?
I’d like to hear more about these tire factories. I’m intrigued.

It’s Time for Organized Resistance
Note that I’m talking about flipping a very small number of people. Some/most of the magas are hopeless. I don’t even try with those morons.

It’s Time for Organized Resistance
There is one thing I forgot to mention about my strategy of winning over one friend at a time to be aware of Trump’s and the Republican’s shittiness. The whole idea originated from my success in flipping one guy who hung out closely with the other maga/conservative supporters in our group. He had mentioned one thing to me year ago where he was confused about some stupid thing Trump had done. I used that as an opportunity to open a conversation. However, I didn’t bombard him with thoughts, information and data. Instead I just provided a few key comments. And then over time I would maybe send him something here or there that was related to what we discussed. It took about six months, but by the end of he had had completely flipped. He now is trying to flip one of our other guys, his best friend. I’m cautiously optimistic that between him and I we will have this guy flipped by January. And there’s one other interesting side note. I knew nothing about Trump in 2015 when he ran for president. Being an independent, I liked the idea of a “business man” being in the White House. However, surly cloak room folks flipped me by well before Election Day, so that I didn’t vote for him. So surly flipped me in about 6 months too. One sad note from that time, even though I had flipped I remember after the election I still expressed hope that maybe all of his craziness would calm down now that he was president. Silly me. You can flip one person in six months. Do it.

San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Between the asshats that own the Maverick’s now, and Nico’s legendary dumb ass trade, my small affinity for the Mavericks from living in Dallas is gone. GSG.

By the way, Sark continues to be one of only a few OC's that usually does not cover his mouth while calling the play. Sometimes he does, but then it looks like he forgets. He really didn't cover up against Kentucky. Can teams discern the call? After seeing the special on the Michigan cheating scandel, it wouldn't suprise me one bit. They were reading lips and conveying it to the defense for call adjustments, all within 3 seconds. edit: whoops. He didn't cover up.

The Democratic Party
My informal poll of how often republicans show up on news stories vs democrats indicates about a 10:1 advantage for republicans. Given republicans control the presidency and congress, there certainly should be an advantage. But 10:1? The main constituency that is supposed to keep politicians from creating dictatorial control of the US is almost completely silent. The people at least are doing something, like the No Kings protests. But most Democrat politicians and the party? Worthless. This shutdown is the perfect example. Democrats should be hammering this over and over on the news. As a side note, I personally don’t like how the democrats have tackled the aca subsidies issue at all. But that’s a different discussion.

Can you talk some more about this? Amidst all of these worthless posts you’ve actually posted something that may have some value.

I use exclusively chicken.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
I am hoping so so hard that Texas goes undefeated from here on out and makes the playoffs, so people have to come back on here and eat a serious amount of crow, me included.

Ok, but we don’t want the Irish.

I haven’t heard of others either, but if I were the coach of a college team I would have immediately gone out to evaluate it. The impact on Daniels was dramatic and immediate in college and also in the nfl.

Oh great. Now three quarters of surly will be asking for the address of this convention.

I assume the team has evaluated and is using the latest technologies to perform better in games, such as Cognilize, the software Jayden Daniel’s used to win the Heisman. If they aren’t, why not? It completely transformed Daniel’s decision making.

Not watching. Maybe just press conference coach speak?

Michael Taaffe wants you to stop being such fucking pussies.
The OU type spread offense has gotten shit on for over 20 years, because that OU team was the only one that won a tile with it. The “experts” kept saying that type of offense couldn’t get yards against good defenses. Maybe there is some truth to that, but I sit around all Saturday and see average teams all over the country put up big offensive numbers with it, or a variant of it. Annoying as heck, while I watch Texas sputter around all the time. Take some concepts from that offense, mix in some Sark beliefs, and run a better offense.

I’d take 8-4, but that’s a huge disappointment.

To the question of Texas’ experience vs other SEC teams: I don’t really see any big conclusions from this, other than the fact Vanderbilt is a highly experienced team.

I'm An Alcoholic
The situation is weird and the family is getting no information. That’s why I was thinking maybe alcohol related. As you can imagine it’s rough on the family.
