  1. There may be nothing to this President turnover at UT, but both of the last two guys were supposedly very competent, I thought. I wonder what is really driving these departures. Money? Maga? Interference? Lack of competence? Surely, someone on this site has some sort of inside insight. Too bad Lobo isn't around.
  2. So, can the running game be fixed for OSU?
  3. Media dismissing Texas, just like USC game. Ohio State fans believing it is in the bag, just like USC game. Only difference is that Superman is not behind center for Texas. However, with two brilliant performances he could become a Longhorn legend on the podium with Superman. He has been so up and down his whole career but that 4Q/OT performance was gutsy and spectacular. Oh man if he has finally turned the corner…
  4. I hate this thread. It has torpedoed my pre-game excitement and buzz, replacing it with despair and resignation.
  5. So the running game in the two Georgia games didn’t bother them? Ok.
  6. And putting beans in their “chili”.
  7. I laughed my ass off to this. When I played Pop Warner football growing up in East Austin we thought we were badasses, and to some extent some of us, not me, were. However every year we’d go down and play the lower East Austin perrenial champions, the Hornets. These guys were insane. The size and speed was just scary as shit. I remember one year looking over to our sideline when we were getting pummeled, and the coach was trying to get some of our players to go in to the game, and these kids were having none of it. Black, white, Hispanic, didn’t matter. These guys were glued to the sideline for half the game. The rest of us had to play both ways and got lit up at least a dozen times. The Hornets were Austin legends.
  8. Mack Brown would be very disappointed in your yelling right now.
  9. I didn’t see this posted anywhere else and I don’t really want to start a unfounded rumor, but… there is a rumor going around Sark is headed to the NFL. I don’t have any direct info on this. It just came from others who might have heard something.
  10. I’m amazed at the expectations some people have for healthcare costs when they get older. Due to family health issues, the last few years we’ve hit the family max out of pocket costs. Combined with sky high premiums, we are talking tens of thousands of dollars per year. We can afford it, but I worry about most Americans who just can’t. Those folks would have to just forego care and I guess die early. Sucks. Even with the ACA, with subsidized premiums, the costs could be $30k+ per year if you have an expensive health issue like cancer. I see people online fretting over a thousand dollars.
  11. My head says OSU wins in a romp. My gut says OSU wins comfortably. But my testicles say Texas pulls out a squeaker by the miracle of ten pound tiny infant baby Jesus. I’m going with my testicles.
  12. I’m sure Mack Brown told Shaw Texas would be a good move so that Mack could screw over his former employer. On brand.
  13. Texas-24 OSU-21 total yards 290 Auburn walk-off 43 yarder for hair that will go down in infamy.
  14. Went to P.F. Chang's yesterday. While we aren't a huge fan of it, we do have friends that have always liked it. The food yesterday was terrible, and tasted different from the past. It turns out this "freshly made food" restaurant has recently changed to be a "heat up the packages in the microwave" restaurant. It's ridiculous. Stay away from this crap restaurant. Also below a reddit post from a server there. Also, the prices are ridiculous. $7 for a tiny cup of Wonton soup.
  15. This torrid three point shooting is fools gold and will eventually lead to long scoring droughts. They will get lazy with it and keep jacking, instead of working for shots inside.
  16. This addition is all about getting another solid ‘stache on campus.
  17. I find his response to be very strange. I was just trying to be helpful, and then he just completely ignores reality and doubles down without even thinking about it, looking into it, nothing. Just a complete lug head. Weird.
  18. Im so sorry we aren’t all here to do work for you to help you not look like an uninformed rube. A simple 15 second google would have enabled you to understand why you’re wrong, but given what we all know about you from your posting history, your response is right on brand. Rex Kramer - “ Doubling down on dumb in the face of facts since 1999. “
  19. I just explained to you the facts of the rule.
  20. There have been multiple posts showing the actual targeting rule, which requires one of four other conditions besides head to head contact. The hit didn’t have any of those four. It’s the same reason the hit on Bond wasn’t called.
  21. I’m right there with you. But I do believe that somehow a scenario will emerge that gets the whole system back on a sustainable track and away from the really bad scenarios. I just can’t envision it right now. Maybe really sluggish economies combined with some significant government spending cuts, but not so bad that we are plunged into deep recessions. In that scenario Phil will be happy.
  22. I knew when I posted that stat it would be immediately met with rebuttals and rationalizations That's Surly, and pretty much every message board, in a nutshell. People just want to either argue or make themselves feel better. But the reallity is that giving up one passing TD the whole season between the book-ended Oregon games is a fantastic feat, even if you were going up against G5 teams every week. As far as Texas' D, I think most on Surly would argue that Texas' defense was one of the top three in the country. I'm not quite sure where OSU sits. They do lead in points allowed. I haven't watched them enough this year. They are obviously very good.
  23. I don’t know if this has been posted already, but if you weren’t already a bit concerned about OSU, going into yesterday’s Oregon game OSU had not given up a passing TD in any game since the first Oregon game. Holy cow.
  24. There have been at least half a dozen posts showing the four additional criteria that must be met for targeting. The hit did not meet any of those four criteria. While at the time I thought it was targeting, I also didn’t know the full rule, nor did anyone else. It’s the same reason the hit on Bond wasn’t called targeting. I don’t know why you aren’t aware of this given how much it’s been discussed on Surly and elsewhere.
