  1. Well, there's 3 generations then. The young fans like you who don't know anything about the rivalry. The olds, as you say, who allegedly use them as a barometer. Then the really olds, like me, who look down on them with contemptuousness. That said, it was still an impressive win against Notre Dame in South Bend. I found myself wishing for Marcel Reed on the Texas roster in the first half, and I did NOT have that on my bingo card in the preseason.

    I feel like you're thinking about this the wrong way. We have 16 teams ahead of us. We're going to need to step our penalty game up a notch if we want to be #1!
  3. I recommend volleyball. Might not be your thing, but this team is a lot of fun to root for. Two really gutty wins already this season with the chips down against top 10 teams.
  4. I'm really glad we emphasized cutting down penalties this week. It's paid off.
  5. In all seriousness, Manning really does look good running the ball from the QB position. If his name was Riley Leonard I would be less bothered by it than I am, and just understand this is who he is. But that's not the case, is it?
  6. We kept our streak of passes for TDs since the Baylor game in 2022 going. Awesome!
  7. More QB carries.
  8. Negging you less for content and more for creating an account just to troll. Fuck off.
  9. What is Conner Stroh's injury status?
  10. The SEC Network makes me feel like this is their first year to be the starter as well. What is with these fubared transitions?
  11. I do not trust Niblett out there. I understand Sarkisian does, but I do not. I am glad he got the first down, though.
  12. I'm right there with you.
  13. "He'll be keeping that ball." No, he'll be sticking it on a fucking sword, sir. Yes, you heard that right.
  14. What's the analogue for the great scuba dives? The last two seasons?
  15. I mean, that's the answer. I'm not saying he's the only problem, but he's the biggest problem. If Manning doesn't unfuck himself, it's hard to see how this isn't anything other than a nightmare season.
  16. I'm not overly concerned for other reasons, but I like the way you think.
  17. Shooting ourselves in the dick in the Red Zone. Drink!
  18. I'm on pins and needles, but it's more about my anxiety level about this offense than it is what the penalties are going to be.
  19. I feel like I'd just watch Manning skip it to the receiver, or someone would miss their block and it would go for a 3 yard loss.
  20. You knew it was coming.
  21. BTW, is anyone super worried about Arch Manning sliding any more? Just put your head down and get the extra yards is how I feel right now.
  22. I feel like watching UTEP here on that offensive series was like a preview of what I'm about to see with Texas.
  23. Well, this is UTSA/Mississippi State level talent. So was San Jose State last week. To your point, he looks like Rick Ankiel to me.
  24. 1991 is always the gold standard for me. Best defense with the worst offense ever at Texas. They had a losing record. That defense will never get the credit they deserved. This is honestly reminding me of it in the last two games. I cannot fully comprehend our level of incompetence in this half. I'm scared. Fandom type scared, more than existential style scared, but scared nonetheless. What are we about to see? I feel like an alien is about to burst out of someone's stomach in the 2nd half, or somebody in a hockey mask is going to stalk the sidelines.
  25. The game I stuck out that I wonder why I did was the UCLA route 66 in that searing heat. I remember the absolute emotional desolation after losing to NC State because of horrible special teams. That was the only reason. We couldn't punt the ball, and that was the difference in the game. I remember walking out of the stadium when we beat North Texas because of a bad call that allowed a touchdown reception. If we don't miraculously change things 180 degrees in the second half - and I'm not expecting it right now - this game will have me feeling the same way, even if we win. I don't know what to say other than I'm completely sympathetic. I also know it's a combination of things, but if Manning would just look like a competent quarterback it sure would help. I feel trapped by him as our starting QB right now. Just have him start looking to run more is my feeling.
