  1. I have no idea why this post showed up in this thread. Surly isn’t working well with the new IOS
  2. K stands for K*@!(:^# and S stands for S&+$”#{}. I hope that clears things up.
  3. This is an incredible story. I’m sincerely touched by the effort you put into creating great experiences for Texas fans.
  4. Some sort of beef bowl
  5. Ate there for the first time in probably ten years. Have never had a worse salt bomb than that. It’s like they poured an entire canister of salt onto the meat. Terrible food. Will be another ten years before I go back.
  6. I hated the news Safari design in iOS 26, so I changed the Safari settings to something similar to the old setup, see below. However, it appears to have created a really screwed up interface when trying to post on Surly. See below. Anyway to fix this? It grays out the posting area
  7. My quest for getting back to a sub 10 handicap continues. I’m going thru another swing adjustment from a new instructor. I’m pretty excited about the potential. However, I’m also finding that mentally with chipping I’ve completely fallen apart. This is after having, and getting rid of, the yips earlier this year on putting. Does anyone have a good recommended book or resource for dealing with the mental aspects of golf? I’m losing it.
  8. Who else will be at the Texas Stars opener drinking beer with us?
  9. 1. OL play and recruiting. 2. QB play. 3. Stalling offense that can never run. 4. Bullied defense against tough running offenses. 5. Underdeveloped star receivers. 6.Special teams gaffs. 7.Penalties galore. 8.Execution mistakes galore. 9. His teams always play with less passion than the good opponent. I’m officially out on Sark. He’s a decent coach, but not good enough to build a consistent top program that can win it all, given the plethora of talent and resources he has to succeed, more than most other programs. His coaching shows a lack of attention to detail, a lack of creativity, a lack of analysis and response, and a lack of leadership. See y’all once everyone else figures out he’s not the guy. Probably will take until the middle of the 2027 season. I guess there’s a 1% chance he realizes he’s failing and figures out a way to adjust. But usually guys that aren’t smart enough to succeed, aren’t smart enough to fix their own inadequacies
  10. This is where my head is at. Manning sucks, but so does the offense. So does the OL. And Florida is showing that you just need to bully the defense to break through. And the special teams effed up. It’s a total program breakdown, and at this point you have to look at Manning’s and Ewers lack of development and point to the coach.
  11. Hey good news! They aren’t starting slow. They are just getting their ass kicked!
  12. For the first time in awhile, I’m starting to question again whether Sark’a ceiling is well below elite.
  13. Almost always start slow against average to good/great teams? This shit has been going on for decades.
  14. A golfer and a virgin. The virgin is on the right.
  15. I’m going ahead and posting my Texas Florida post-game thoughts now to get ahead of the curve. “Arch was precise and efficient today. His stats were just as good as they needed to be leading into OU. Overall the Horns looked very good. Not too many penalties. The running game was solid. The WR group looked better. Of course the defense was exactly what we expected. I’m pumped about the OU game next week. Arch will unleash the deep ball several times. This game was just what Texas needed going into next week.”
  16. Finally finished the Cowboys Netflix documentary. I thought it was extremely well done. They focused too much on a small number of players, but I thought Jones did a decent job not exercising too much editorial control over the content. The program also gave me some peace of mind. If the Cowboys get their act together and win something, awesome. But if they don’t, then I will be comfortable knowing that Jones will have died with the knowledge that he was a complete failure at the one thing in life that meant more to him than anything else. That’s not a bad feeling.
  17. Tim Tebow is the most over-rated QB in NCAA history. There. I said it.
  18. If the universe were fair, LBJ would be merged back into Reagan and we would resume our rightful position at the top of Texas high school football.
  19. I’ve seen Leaks, Earl, Ricky, Cedric, Jamaal, Priest, and Bijan all play live many many times. They are all awesome. However, Earl and Ricky are without a doubt the greatest running backs to ever put on the Texas uniform. They were both incredible. Of course I can’t talk to pre-1970.
  20. IMO, this is a Top Ten Surly/Shaggy thread. Focus on just enchiladas is the greatest thing ever.
  21. This is the type of short-term thinking that has doomed the Democratic Party for a long time. Meanwhile, starting with Rush Limbaugh over thirty years ago, then Fox News, and now Project 2025, the Republicans have had a detailed multi-decade plan they’ve been implementing that crosses the judicial branch, executive branch, local and state politics, and communications programs with a consistent set of messages and strategies. But sure, just go ahead and assume the Democrats can do well in 13 months by throwing some shit together in July next year to try to win. I’m sure it will work great
  22. So I understand the frustration of just saying to shut down the government, but if the Dems don’t do it in the context of winning the propaganda war they will not do well in the mid terms. And that is the real goal. Once again, the Democrats can’t get out of the way of their own bad/no strategies.
