  1. I don't think any expectations should be tempered. I think people still haven't adjusted to the reality of modern college football and why we should be very confident heading into this season. We have done an incredible job of retaining our coaching staff. It doesn't hurt that Sark is our true OC. That might have been considered a negative 5 years ago, but never worrying about losing your offensive coordinator is a massive advantage on the field and in recruiting. PK seems like a DC lifer and is happy to be here. We've lost position coaches due to their successes but have done a good job replacing them. We have done an incredible job of retaining players in this NIL landscape. Yes, Texas has the resources that others don't, but we've still had more success that other big money programs in that regard. Instead of just focusing on our roster changes or perceived deficiencies, go check out what other big programs are going through. It's rough out there. We are literally in the dream scenario at starting QB. 3rd year in program/system, legendary family, great kid, loves UT, no rush to get to the NFL. There are not any other starting QBs out there that are clear upgrades, and Arch's upside is the best. This offense will be humming by conference play.
  2. The consistency is mind boggling.
  3. I forgot that Cam was born and raised in New York. That should be the tiebreaker to pick him if Keegan is on the fence.
  4. Really impressive how he battled back today.
  5. Someone's gotta be 4th string. I don't get the handwringing. We are in a MUCH better situation at RB this year compared to last. Some good players on a stacked roster will probably transfer out next year. I'm gruntled to have this "problem".
  6. I agree that Burns should be on the team. Doesn't hurt that he's close friends with Scottie. Keegan probably pairs them up for a match.
  7. Double decker of stupidity. It lowers the anxiety (but not frustration) with where we are when you accept how many people in this country are just dumb. They don't understand jokes or look at globes. Impossible to get anywhere with these people.
  8. Yep. It was stomped out for years, when the racists didn't have enough validation to vocalize and act on their beliefs due to a monoculture that kept them in line. They were shamed into keeping quiet. Then the Internet/social media reignited their proud racism due to the ability for anyone and everyone to have a voice.
  9. The red flags around the Sooner program right now continue to pile up. Jesus.
  10. Football players like to play football.
  11. I don't think it's policy or a "socialist" issue for Jeffries when it comes to Mamdani. I think it's completely about the Democratic Party's fealty to Israel. It's one thing when Israel affects our foreign policy (which is massively horrific and I'm not downplaying), but when they create chaos within our OWN political system (both parties) which directly affects the American people...FUCK. I admit that I didn't fully realize until the last year or so the stranglehold Israel has on us. My eyes are open. We have to weed this shit out.
  12. What a fucking clown.
  13. Played like a fiddle.
  14. Good post, but grievances aren't values.
  15. This format is a good idea, too bad Wheels is terrible at it.
  16. Cope? NYC is its own animal. There is no other place like it in America. I like and support Mamdani, btw.
  17. Because he is in NYC. I agree that they share anger and the struggle, but I disagree that the working class share common experiences and values. This country is way too big, with completely different lifestyles and surroundings.
  18. Just spitballing, but it feels like the "working class' is almost just a buzzword at this point. Are we talking about leftists or working class people in general? Because a lot of the "working class" supports or is at least sympathetic to Donald Trump. His proudest, loudest and largest group of voters are working class. And it ain't centrism they are worried about. These people hear the world "socialist" and lose their fucking minds. "The ___ is not a monolith" has been overused at this point, but probably the most true when it comes to the working class.
  19. And every centrist too. Mamdani blowback is a red flag and that shit needs to be stomped out.
  20. Agreed. 1. Trump hires the worst people, being shitty at your job is the norm 2. He is an authoritarian and it's mentally baked in with his employees that whatever Trump wants to do, let him do it. He was in control of that entire situation.
