  1. Mackovic Baylor 1997.
  2. Individually everyone is starting to whip ass. Sometimes the D makes a play; sometimes the O makes a play. Not sure how we can lose.
  3. Clearly, it’s the one with the first pick.
  4. When Majors declares early, we will have no choice but to start a different C.
  5. Funny the Steelers came to mind. From all the way to Kevin Greene to Watt they’ve found guys to make it work.
  6. Every team has guys it doesn’t want to lose. With respect to Sorrell, he was nobody at this time last year. It’s not like he was all world coming out of high school either. Point being guys step up every year to give you some positive surprises. If he goes down, we should get some of level of production out of that replacement. That’s where we’re becoming so much better from a depth perspective. We’re closer to Bama/Georgia/Ohio State than we are to the Big 12 teams in the natural talent/depth area. On LB, you should feel comfortable with the guys in front and behind. Blackwell has made some plays. Gbenda actually has too. Maturity and experience should be theirs. I lean more towards what seems to he the NFL way here. We will find guys to make tackles. We need to square up the front end and the back end.
  7. The biggest concern with this team is that they have a head coach that hasn’t won Jack. But there’s dudes who have in their respective coaching roles. There is not a guy that we could lose and this go in the shitter. No, it wouldn’t be ideal to lose your QB or Banks, but it shouldn’t fall apart without them. If we lose them, we’re still more talented than our conference opponents. You can the practice reports with a grain of salt, but competition in practice sounds as though it’s breeding achievement over contentment. The youngest guys just need to do thing their thing because the frosh aren’t relied on to carry the day. Hill is in a place where he can screwup and you might not even notice because of the maturity around him. There’s no covering for other dudes. You do your job or you don’t play.
  8. I look forward to the kissing of PKs backside after this year.
  9. Yet we won 8 games. And many of the same guys won 5. Both of those totals were below their upside levels. It’s good I guess that people are on the development bandwagon, but one year of incremental improvement yet team underachievement doesn’t prove much. The talent, experience and depth is greater this year. Anything less than 10 regular season wins is a disappointment. Right now we’re healthier too. I’m not sure there’s more than one team on the schedule that can compete with us athletically. And it’s unlikely on the whole there will be many with more experience. I’m having a difficult time imagining how it’s possible we don’t win 10 out of 13 or 14 games.
  10. Msu, there was this guy named Sam……
  11. That’s harsh. For the right commitment, I’ll keep my yap shut.
  12. Little league is pretty thin these days. It’s not just select but Texas teenage or whatever other orgs out there trying to pull leagues out. I don’t have much context for how it once was so maybe it was never that big. This was several years ago, but I had some involvement in a district tournament and one of the top players missed some time due to some travel ball. Then within the last two- three years, the best kid on one team bailed on his team’s championship round. I’d assume the successful teams are pretty dedicated to little league. On the girls side, the path to the Southwest region seems to require going through fewer teams and in some age groups the teams are not good. But it seems last year Oklahoma or Colorado effectively got a bye on the boys side to advance to the Southwest regionals. Midway girls won many a title years ago then fell off. It’ll be interesting to see once this group moves on whether the run to the WS continues.
  13. I always feel the need to add some clarity here. Tech got away with several hands to the face/face mask penalties. Not “subjective” holding penalties but clear cut pulling defensive linemen by their facemask. The hold called on Ulatoski preceded a Tech pick six. The only hold called and was marginal at best, atrocious given the actions of the night. Even though we beat OU going away that year, it was only a 10 point deficit. Imagine if that’s a 21 point game. How does that play out come seasons end? If I remember correctly, this was the two faux roughing the punter calls. Essentially turnovers. Yeah, there were two borderline calls on Colt but they weren’t drive extenders/change of possession.
  14. From 2019 thru 2022, the least number of penalties per game and penalty yards per game for OU was 2022. 50 yards per game. The peak was 70 something yards per game. In 2019 and 2022, OU had more penalties and penalty yards than their opponents. Covid 2020 led all years in penalties caused in only 11 games, but the opponents had 100 to OUs 80. In 2019 OU had 86 penalties to 70 for their opponents. They had 74 in 2022. In those same years, the lowest yards per penalty was 2021 followed by 2022. Lots of variables within that but 50 yards per game in penalties in 2022 ain’t that much. PreSEC move announcement, they averaged 70 penalty yards per game. Post announcement about 54 per game. That’s 30% lower. I’d guess that penalties assessed are down across the board in the Big 12. And it’s possible these discrepancies occurred due to non-conference games.
  15. You punks are hitting below the belt. Lubbock is a big city. And an 1100 was all I could do. At least from my experience.
  16. I’d agree biases are possible and those biases may be ramped up since the move was announced. I just have a long memory, that’s not particularly healthy, when it comes to such officiating that feels more of the same. Just had a flashback to Herman versus TCU at DKR when Overshown was held, flag was thrown then called off. Clear hold at the point of attack. They treat us like we’re ISU or something. Except when we play ISU.
  17. I paid quite a bit of attention. See Arkansas for the safety issue. WVU hit Card late. Hurt him. No penalty. I was thinking they did review the BU punt block. But you left out the critical non-call of holding in BUs late TD drive. But for all that shit, OU got 1 dead ball penalty. And one hold near midfield that the whole world viewed and couldn’t be ignored. That was the worst officiated game that year. Also a team departing the conference. I just believe there’s is an anti Texas feel that is nothing new. Big 12 champ games versus OU. The 4th and 2 failure to call procedure. The hold then interference on LJH late that killed a drive. The Strong OSU game. The two Tom Herman OPI called on replays - never seen that anywhere else. I could go on. And part of this narrative is that OU got hosed last year. In 2021 OU game winning TDs should have come back versus Texas and Kansas. Key blocks at the point of attack. It is possible this bias kicked in one week after TX-OU or maybe it was before that but only Texas and then it was decided after the season to screw OU too.
  18. Poorly worded. Missed calls in favor of a non-Big 12 team over us to spite us. Same with the Arkansas reference. The conspiracy is less convincing because of that.
  19. Did it? There was considerable fuckery in 2021 in the Tx-OU game. But why choose one over the other? OU was called for 2 penalties for 15 yards. They trailed by double digits for an extended period of time. They had at least 3 TD drives with the most significant play a non call for what should been a penalty negating the play. Overturned a close call on the Brooks fumble. Didn’t even take time to fully review a close call incompletion/fumble. OSU at least got called for 7 penalties that same year. Arkansas. Big 12 refs favoring one SEC team over another? 3 non-calls on late hits or targeting. And I guess Big 12 guys would miss some big calls in Bamas favor. In my opinion, it’s just more of the same that crops up from time to time year over year.
  20. As there should be. Will you join in on that fun too?
  21. So did the person answer the question about who was looking good at Edge? Or was it a question who was looking to get playing time? Two very different questions. The response did not indicate Tapp looked good only that he was next on line for PT.
  22. The Big 12 isn’t kicking out draft picks like the SeC, but the 2022 was very good with 2023 a good follow up for the Big 12 particularly on defense. Texas high schools will produce enough talent. You just have to choose wisely and develop each players skills.
  23. This was the biggest miss. It was blatant and should have been easy. The linesman was relatively close. There wasn’t tons of action around the foul. It was a split second, timing play like PI. It wasn’t subjective. This is one that can’t be missed.
  24. My biggest concern with the Alabama game is the let down the week after we kick their ass.
  25. I’ll gladly take my guard 20 yards downfield making contact against a DB that’s giving a little ground. As for the Banks block, that S basically sacrificed himself albeit for nothing. Newsflash: Banks is better than Conner. This isn’t really a play I’d use to highlight that. This is best an example of a great play call given what the defense is running. Everybody’s job was easy.
