Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
My biased view of the RB room: Wisner - great after contact, great at cutbacks, pretty slow, reliable, good attitude. Solid contributor but not Ricky Williams, obviously. Baxter - showed a few tiny flashes as a freshman but basically a non factor until there’s evidence he can not only get on the field, but also produce. I’m skeptical. Gibson - the fumbling is slightly less of an issue than it was and there were a few tiny flashes at times, but also a lot of bury his head into the line and gain 1. I think he’s got something but he needs a fresh start I guess. Simon - flashed several times but obviously still learning protections, etc. I’d like to see him get more carries. Clark - just meh. Average at everything. Ricky Stewart - whispers of an issue there? Thin RB room, yet again.

The Biggest Scam Profession
I forgot about realtors. That’s a good one. As I’ve stated in the real estate thread, I went out and got my own license after dealing with a few absolute realtor idiots. I handle my own transactions, and do family and friends if they need it. What I saw would enrage a typical consumer. The actual concept of a realtor is not terrible. Lawyers can do the paperwork, but are not equipped to deal with the analysis of properties and negotiations necessary to buy or sell a property. The problem is that 90% of realtors do a terrible job on both of those areas as well. And the commission structures are stupid. Expensive homes have way too high of commissions.

One of my close friends knew Stephenson intimately. Said he’s an idiot. Which we all know from his disaster performance as CEO of AT&T.

The Biggest Scam Profession
I can’t decide which industry is loaded with the most scam professionals. There are so many potentials candidates. Here are the three that stick out to me: 1. Air conditioning companies 2. Dentists 3. Lawyers I’m getting my AC fixed and it’s unbelievable how unethical and shitty these companies are. But my experience with dentists and lawyers is also pretty bad.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
I thought their defense would be decent, but I’ve been surprised they’ve been able to score some points. I thought their OL was trash, the WR’s over-rated, and the QB mistake prone.

Things not going well for James Franklin [FIRED]
Several well-respected shaggy posters have consistently said that the talent at A&M, particularly the transfer talent, isn’t as good as their current performance indicates. Nor is their offense as good as it seems. I guess we will see. However, how awesome would it be to see the rubes increase his salary to some stupid level and extend the contract to some stupid date, only to realize late next year he isn’t the guy. That would be so fun to watch. Thank you James Franklin.

RIP Diane Keaton
You are so passionate in defense of her. So, I went back and reviewed all of her 70+ roles…and came to the exact same conclusion I did originally. She had a few decent roles but has received huge adoration, from people like yourself, that was disproportionate to her actual work. She didn’t suck in all roles, or even most. She’s just over-rated, in many of her roles.

Meh, a marriage of two losers. FYI the guy that closed the Nike Texas deal is sitting in the C suite of Nike. Texas will be fine in any new deal.

Texas WR/TE Passing Offense Talk
Yesterday was great. They had a nice mix of running and passing. However………… I’m fed up with watching dozens of other college offenses easily and very quickly complete 5 yard slants, 5 yard button hooks in open spaces, and 5 yard outs or ins, while Texas rarely if ever does this. Our short passing game almost always consists of bubble screens behind the line of scrimmage. The problem with this approach is that the defense can basically play the run and still handle the bubble screens. That reduces the effectiveness of the running game and that puts Texas into too many 3rd and long plays once they blow up the bubble screen. It also makes the offense more vulnerable to sacks. For Christ’s sake mix in a few quick hitter short pass plays, especially the slant. Why does Sark hate the slant?? #sarkhatestheslant. #bringbacktheslant.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Arch is improving. He played well yesterday. Sark schemed better for him in the game. I did notice he never gets rid of the ball fast on the very first quick read. I wonder if that’s because Sark isn’t scheming many routes where guys get open quickly across the line of scrimmage, or whether he’s late with the reads. He had to step up and go to second reads a lot yesterday.

Unpopular opinion? She was highly over-rated and a terrible choice as Michael Corleone’s girlfriend/wife. But…rest in peace?
