  1. Texas football and basketball game threads became a serious threat to my mental health. I finally learned to stay the hell out of there as much as possible.
  2. Somewhere months ago there was a credible article about some mathematician who did a statistical analysis of the voting patterns across the country and concluded the odds were something like a billion to one that type of voting patterns would have happened. I laughed at Magats who questioned the 2020 election, but with Elon and Russia firmly backing Trump, the possibility of fraud in the 2024 election is certainly not zero.
  3. Texas 20 OSU 17 combined Arch yards 251.
  4. True story. I took my wife on a booze cruise in the Bahamas when she was about 7 months pregnant. Obviously no alcohol for her. She wanted to go, so…..
  5. The directing of this series is spectacular. It’s really good.
  6. My wife and I are just fed up with buying clothes. These days the best stuff isn’t in stores, and if it is, not in your size. The stuff in the internet comes in and either doesn’t fit right or has something about it that makes it a no go. It’s just gotten ridiculous. We used to never return merchandise but now we are having to do it all the time. Damn I wish the retail clothing industry would have survived.
  7. I also think that when Sark takes his long ball shots it will have a stronger impact than under Quinn. With Quinn, opponents knew there was a chance he would miss the open receiver sometimes, so they would take more chances with the safeties. Defenses will have to respect the long ball more with Arch and that will open up running lanes and short passing opportunities. I would look for Texas to complete a 45+ yard pass in the 1st quarter, and then settle in to a steady diet of running and short pass plays.
  8. I keep going back and forth on this game: Reasons to win 1. Arch will be better than Quin, even with less experience, imo, and brings mobility to the pocket to help with big plays and to minimize bad plays like sacks. This is huge. 2. The defense has a ton of talent, and some depth. 3. OSU has a bigger re-build than Texas. Reasons to lose 1. OL injuires. 2. Winning in Columbus is tough. 3. A ton of talent was lost to the NFL and the new guys are a bit unproven. 4. Sometimes Sark gets too cute or too repetitive with his offensive strategy. So basically it comes down to how much of a re-build OSU has vs Texas. If they struggle to plug their losses more than Texas does theirs, OSU will win. I'm expecting a 20-17 game. I just don't know who ends up on top.
  9. One of my biggest pet peeves ever is looking up the start time of a tv program and whatever resource I’m looking at doesn’t specify the time zone of the listing. Drives me insane. Happens all the time, including most recently with a site listing the PGA tour championship tv times.
  10. What are you blabbering on about? Seriously. You are sounding like a complete idiot right now. I follow CTJ’s comments closely not only because I’ve met him in real life but because he usually has insights not well known by the usual message board idiot. He’s also usually pretty good about identifying in advance when he’s just guessing or pulling stuff out his ass. The fact that a bunch of morons on IT are upset is a badge of honor. Quit being a giant pussy.
  11. I can never hear the word “stuff” without thinking of this quote.
  12. My guess is two cuts happen and about May next year we all are bitching about 4% inflation.
  13. No, the Fed has become politicized. The cut is happening whether it should happen or not.
  14. Well this is a bit awkward. Here is who I was thinking about as a comparison. Took me awhile to realize it. I’m sure there will be a lot of debate about this, but the slightly hunched over running style with the leg movement is what reminded me. couldn’t embed. https://youtu.be/b_bAKdDWjFQ?si=D7QuDcbfTft_STfq
  15. The data on the Aggies is getting so voluminous that even those delusional dipshits are struggling to come up with “theories” to try and dispute their failures. It’s awesome.
  16. That’s the first film I’ve seen. I like his effort. He’s a bull with some moves and some speed. That explains the rating. He does have some wasted movement while he runs. I’m trying to think of a pro back with a similar gate. It’s a little Derrick Henry like, but there’s another back from 20+ years ago that’s closer. Can’t recall his name.
  17. What’s the story on the new UT Austin President? Good? Bad?
  18. That was a very fun watch today.
  19. Don’t buy used. Golf is meant to be played by overspending and never seeing a return on investment. Don’t break the Universe.
  20. I bought online the Nike hat with the old angry longhorn logo. When it arrived, I realized the pic was misleading. It was that flat billed bulbous douchebag design. Gross.
  21. I finally understand a benefit to packing cubes. When you are staying at many different places on a trip, requiring many packings and un-packings, the cubes make it faster and easier to stay organized. It also helps for keeping dirty clothes separate. Does it save space? No.
  22. Glad to see that. I hardly ever report posts but MotownHorn was unhinged and it pissed me off.
