  1. Our running game problems are not one player. It’s the entire mindset that is lacking.
  2. Jesus Christ they show that fuckhead’s face every thirty seconds.
  3. The stupidity with which this coaching staff and team has played has got to be an all-time embarrassment.
  4. Have had enough of seeing and hearing from Skattebo.
  5. I buy new cars every 8-10 years. It’s just the way I’m wired. I don’t like buying new cars every few years. I feel like it’s a waste of money, even though I could easily afford to buy more often. Also, I feel like it takes that long to really get the full experience from a new model. My Lexus hit 10 years old today, but it has only 53k miles on it. Work from home and retirement really dropped the mileage. But I still don’t feel like buying another car, especially given the low mileage. Here’s a tip for others. Every year you delay a $65-80k car purchase, you can make $3k+ in interest or financing cost savings, and save probably another $1k or more in higher insurance costs, for a total savings of $4k that you could then spend on hookers and blow throughout the year.
  6. What I would give to be a middle aged dipshit instead of an aging one.
  7. I just want to point out how difficult it is to build a sustainable successful nil organization. This story reiterates that. Please think about that the next time you are watching a Longhorn game, perusing recruiting lists, or attending a game. What the Texas NIL guys have accomplished thus far is phenomenal. It’s very difficult to run an nil organization lean and in compliance. These guys have done it.
  8. Mack couldn’t coach his way out of a paper bag, but he did come up with two good ideas. First, he unified most of the factions at Texas. Second, he came up with the marketing strategy of Texas being a second “family” for urban athletes craving a family-like atmosphere. These days every program tries to pitch that, but back in the 90’s that positioning was pretty effective for recruiting. Mack is a politician with a lot of personal failings who will hurt Texas if it helps him. We should erect a wall at the city limits.
  9. Troy Aikman on the Ticket said that, in his opinion, 75% of the failed QB’s in the NFL could have been successful had they received coaching from someone who knew how to use their talents best. It immediately caused me to think about Fisher/Young. He said that without Norv Turner Aikman would have busted out of the league within a few years. It truly is terrible how Fisher mismanaged a QB who could have had a career like Lamar Jackson. It pisses me off every time I think about it.
  10. An interesting data point that sticks out like a sore thumb is the Alabama game. While it’s harder now with helmet communications it does make you wonder.
  11. Ah, that explains it.
  12. This is the issue. Once a person shows who they are, you can be confident they will behave accordingly. He wants to retire as a beloved Austin figure who hob mobs with the power brokers and is shown due respect. That will be too disruptive. Compare that to DKR who was the opposite, and was naturally beloved because of it.
  13. This game gives me even more confidence about Texas vs ASU. The ISU defense is trash.
  14. Nice chart of mortgage rates
  15. As soon as Elko said his defense would never play this bad again, my radar immediately went up and reminded me of Charlie Strong also making some dumb absolute proclamation during a press conference that he of course had to backtrack on shortly thereafter. While that Elko press conference was just a tiny blip in a year of hilarity, it really did demonstrate that at least right now Elko is in over his head and not ready for what lies ahead. Maybe he figures it all out over the summer but I doubt it. The end of next year could be very ugly for them if they underperform again, and I’ll have my popcorn ready.
  16. Texas 37 ASU 24 rushing yards - 211
  17. I have a feeling there will be a lot of assistant coaches moving once the playoffs are done. Hopefully Texas doesn’t lose any.
  18. Oh no problem. It was my descriptions that led to the confusion in the first place.
  19. Yes this was covered above. It was never my intention to have people interpret my comments literally as “all” or “nothing”. It’s pretty obvious to me that all of the statistics you will see are trends, not absolutes. And if you look at the trends which someone posted above, there were a lot more people over 65 with pensions, and a lot less without them under 60. That was my only point.
  20. We are thinking about heading there next December, but I saw they are closing the Basin area. We've never been to Big Bend. Are there other areas and things we could do instead? Will it be a goat f*ck because people will all over-crowd the other areas?
  21. Queen- Bohemian Rhapsody, somewhere in the top 5.
  22. I hate all of you with the intensity of a thousand suns.
