  1. This last sentence might be the dumbest shit posted on the board today. And it was a game day.
  2. Obviously we don’t know all the inner workings of how PK manages the defense, but it definitely seems like he is willing to collaborate with peers such as Patterson and Nansen in a refreshingly ego-less way that has really benefited the defense. It’s nice to see what appears to be a willingness to consider new approaches/strategies/philosophies others bring with them, rather than stubbornly sticking to his own rigid system.
  3. If Ewers wins the Heisman and leads UT to a national championship, there’s an argument. Until then, it’s Colt > Ewers, as far as achievement/impact at UT. I think Ewers is already ahead of Colt from a talent and ceiling as a pro perspective. But those are two pretty different things.
  4. If I can go 5/8 all season I’ll be fine with that
  5. Michigan under A&M under Texas over Clemson +13.5 WVa +8.5 Bama -31.5 Tennessee -38.5 ND moneyline
  6. I blanked on the neutral site aspect of the Georgia game when I looked at who was listed as the home team. My bad. Still think it’s weird to entirely omit the Texas game from both posts but whatever. The entire home slate might be about even with the entire true away slate, in aggregate. They’re fucked either way, especially if they don’t start with a W against Miami at home.
  7. Which one of those home games do you expect to be tougher than @ Texas? Edit: they also play Georgia and Tennessee on the road
  8. Sterns and Thompson got released, so they’re probably about to have new new homes. Other Longhorn roster cuts I saw while skimming the full list: Malik Jefferson D’onta Foreman Collin Johnson LJ Humphrey Ovie Oghuofo Others Keaontay Ingram Adrian Colbert Zach Gentry (lol) Willie Tyler Ochaun Mathis Zach Evans Drake Stoops
  9. Are there any QB transfers you think we should take too? Maybe OL?
  10. Seems like Mitchell, Kirkland, Cojoe, Swanson and Red portaling after Spring would be pretty painless, at least if Mitchell looks to be as much of a washout as early reports indicate
  11. Seems like putting 3 stars in the league would be a mix of good evaluations and development, not necessarily just development
  12. The technical term for this, coined by Bomani Jones if I’m not mistaken, is “meatpeeper”. Hard to come up with a more accurate label for aggys.
  13. I need about tree tiddy
  14. Sounds like a great organization to play and root for, they must have a sharp owner with really happy fans
  15. I stopped drinking on 6/15/23 after a blackout on a work trip that did not feature any disaster or rock bottom type fuck up, then over the holidays decided to take a break from sobriety from Christmas through the Sugar Bowl. Didn’t go nuts, but had probably 4-6 beers each day and it just didn’t really do much of anything for me. Haven’t had anything since. One of my goals for 2024 was fewer than 12 days drinking, and I’ve thought about using up a day a couple times, including the Super Bowl, but haven’t pulled the trigger. I don’t know why I set that goal instead of zero. I’ve taken an approach this whole time that I didn’t know how long I would be stopping for, I just knew I wanted to stop for a while. Maybe to lessen the pressure that would make me feel like a failure if I slipped up? Either way, I feel like that approach has been more effective for me than a hard, absolute ultimatum imposed on myself. I certainly do not feel in any position to recommend that or any other advice to anyone though. I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing. I know there are people who benefit more from a “never again under any circumstances” approach, and I would never want to discourage anyone from doing what works for them. Only sharing to I guess contribute something to what I’ve found to be a valuable thread, and I don’t know, just reinforce that there are different paths? I hope that anyone struggling is able to stick with it long enough to determine that you like the way not drinking makes you feel more than you like the way drinking made you feel. Or whatever else gets you to not pick up the bottle. I’ve been able to focus so much better, and I’ve had a lot of realizations about myself, not all of them positive. I’ve found myself much less irritable, and I think it’s due to the fact that so many of my frustrations and triggers that led me to drink were probably just my stupid body trying to convince me to take the medicine it was trained to want. I also feel much less worried, in general. I hope we are all able to not drink today and can do it again tomorrow. Maybe the one-day-at-a-time approach is just a different version of what I’ve been doing? May you all have more good days than bad days ahead of you. Godspeed.
  16. Something about the “Can he do it?” really makes this
  17. Seems like the kinda hype that is worth throwing a kid a couple Gs for a visit in aggy eyes, that kid knows he’s got way better options.
  18. Definitely sounds too good to be true but bringing Ewers, Sanders, and Mitchell back would be a wet dream.
  19. Texas 44 Washington 34 Penix 32-48 3 TDs 1 int 4 sacks
  20. I feel like he made more shit happen for himself and the team today than he ever has before, in terms of buying more time with awareness and getting to second and third reads. Some good scrambling too. Dude balled the fuck out today. In the most consequential game of his career. Minus like 2-4 bad throws, one of which was really bad. This offense is so dangerous with him on like this.
