I’d say since 1988 when they beat WVU for the national title. In 1993 they beat #1 FSU and then the next week lost to BC and then beat A&M in their bowl game to finish #2, behind FSU. Still, don’t think they officially claim 1993.
They still haven't won the national title this year.-

the only reason i could see it not being called on the Taaffe hit was that they considered him a runner right at the time of contact and since there were no other indicators (crown of helmet or launching) they let it slide. Should have been called by the letter of the rule if you ask me but I don’t mind it not being called when it wasn’t an attempted knockout hit and it was very very close.
The ball was tipped by one of our players at the line of scrimmage.-

Indeed. The whole nature of pandemic participation is that it is involuntary. Nobody volunteers to participate in a pandemic. -

Holy shit you are so dumb. Ewers is a very good college QB who is now experienced and has been coached by a good QB coach. He would be a very valuable transfer target. If you would apply as critical an eye to all the other QBs in college, which is who his competition is for market value, it would be easy to see he's one of the top 2 or 3 potentially available targets if he stayed in college and transferred.
This entire forum is the same as fan forums always are, absurdly overcritical of their own QBs and severely ignorant when it comes to QB evaluation. In just the last two weeks we've seen plenty QBs that surly morons had said they'd rather have than Ewers be complete and total garbage in the postseason (Rourke, Jennings, Milroe, Sellers, etc.) and plenty of others who demonstrate what struggling at QB in college actually looks like (e.g., the complete catastrophe of QB play in the Las Vegas Bowl).
If I could give this 1000 likes I would. Great comment, Huck.
Everybody always thinks that what they don't have is better than what they do have.You never know what worse choice at QB your bad choice kept you from.

You know, the Russians had thousands of possible futures in 1991. They had a nascent democracy in the palms of their hands and chose dictatorship --- again.
I'm starting to wonder if George Kennan was right in 1946:
"At bottom of Kremlin's neurotic view of world affairs is traditional and instinctive Russian sense of insecurity. Originally, this was insecurity of a peaceful agricultural people trying to live on vast exposed plain in neighborhood of fierce nomadic peoples. To this was added, as Russia came into contact with economically advanced West, fear of more competent, more powerful, more highly organized societies in that area. But this latter type of insecurity was one which afflicted rather Russian rulers than Russian people; for Russian rulers have invariably sensed that their rule was relatively archaic in form fragile and artificial in its psychological foundation, unable to stand comparison or contact with political systems of Western countries. For this reason they have always feared foreign penetration, feared direct contact between Western world and their own, feared what would happen if Russians learned truth about world without or if foreigners learned truth about world within. And they have learned to seek security only in patient but deadly struggle for total destruction of rival power, never in compacts and compromises with it."
They are somehow psychologically incapable of being democratic, despite seeing the benefits on their televisions and in their daily media, at least for a while. Frustrating. Perhaps it's because they have to defend an area more than 22 times as large as Texas with a population roughly 3.5 times that of Texas.-

She's trying to figure out where her rent money is going to come from now that she's been deplatformed. I have no idea how much she was making via ad revenue sharing on Twitter but she had 1.4 million followers and was pretty incendiary so I'm thinking she lost at least 5k per month. And since Meta/Zuckerberg deplatformed her I'm thinking her next career options is either real estate or Onlyfans.
Regading Bluesky, her reputation apparently proceeds her:

Lots of “holy shit, Musk is doing all of this to benefit his companies” and it’s glorious. Musk’s response of “fuck your face” and calling them crackheads to people questioning him is also glorious.

The part about habitual drunkards was definitely a call out to Surly Horns. The part about "surly bartenders" was a reference to Lonesome Dove, when Gus says, "Anyway, whacking a surly bartender ain't much of a crime."
I know these things with 100% certainty.-

Part of me is baffled that you guys/ladies actually get on fb
Then I remember you're all older and I guess fb is for older people? I dunno. I haven't been on there in years. Occasionally I'll get on IG, but that's where I draw the line. I don't care what anyone from HS is doing, I don't care what anyone from college is doing, I don't care what my family is doing.
And fuuuuuuck Tik Tok.
Well, in fairness, Facebook is one place at which you can read Traces of Texas. 😉-

I have been vocal that I think he is good, but generally not good enough to be a difference maker at the position. I think tonight was validation of just that.
Huckleberry has offered you numerous opportunities to support/defend this opinion but you have failed to do so. You proffer the opinion without showing your work.

I don't think you're understanding what I was saying. This is their biggest win since 1993. That is a true statement. That isn't saying that this is a bigger win than 1993, but that it's their biggest bowl win since then.
