  1. “Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.”
  2. Probably. A good rollercoaster ride involves being pulled to great heights at the beginning.
  3. I waited a long time for 2005, as well. Through some Cotton Bowls that won’t be named. Through Texas trying to stop the Run and Shoot (and, to be fair, when Texas stopped the fuck out of it in 1990). Through Mackovic managing to lose to both Rice and TCU for the first time in my life. Various Baylor BS, including Teaff’s last game. And so on. Since you went to every away game in 2005, I’m 99.999% sure you’ve seen me. I was also there, and I don’t blend. When Texas stopped USC on 4th down, I told my now ex-wife and our friends who came from PA for the game that Texas just won. On 4th and 5, as soon as Rucker followed Selvin about two steps off the edge, I said “Touchdown.” And it was.
  4. Here’s how it computes: I’d never seen Texas lose until Texas lost to ND in the Cotton Bowl.
  5. Tell him about the time SMU tried to throw four fades against him.
  6. Call me a homer, but I’ve always been impressed with Fozzy in interviews and podcasts. I didn’t watch a ton of the game, but his talking about how the defense responded to motion on a given play, for example, and what that meant the offense might come back with from the same look is exactly to kind of stuff I wish more color analyst guys did.
  7. In my ideal burnt orange world, Sarkisian throws these guys in waves against secondaries that simply aren’t talented enough or deep enough to cope and all the classes see that the fastest way to recognition, yards, and TDs is to have fresh legs when Manning and whoever is next up are delivering dimes to them. Show up, learn the offense, catch the ball, profit.
  8. He reminds me of Quan Cosby in a way. He didn’t necessarily have a direct route from here to there, but he kicked ass from here to there. And you knew he was going to do what it took, whatever it took. Maybe not the most recognized guy from the stands, but absolutely recognized on the field. “I love this place” from the Big 12 Championship video summed it up. I’m hoping he stays healthy and banks that cash.
  9. I’m sure I’d feel like calling a run on third and six with that thing on. I like it, though I won’t get it because the sleeves will be too short.
  10. Given Michigan has three years of Sarkisian film at Texas and more before that, why not run previously seen Sarkisian rather than high school?
  11. I at least give him credit for the “well, they won more than 8 games so my bullshit doesn’t apply” and “NIL explains why their recruiting is going well” outs that he has built in.
  12. I grew up liking Nebraska because fuck OU. They squandered that goodwill with their bitchiness, but I understand the sentiment.
  13. If I recall correctly, and that grows increasingly unlikely each day, they used to be pretty good at baseball for a place that doesn’t thaw until June. Doesn’t really address the football aspect, but it goes toward having a college.
  14. That’s perfect, because who doesn’t love a season of hearing “if they played again after Week 2…”
  15. They only have to hear that twice. They’ll be hearing Texas Fight all the live long day.
  16. Hell, I’d probably give up DP for “real” Coke. Or at least mix it in. Damn puritans.
  17. I mean, if I knew how games were going to turn out, I’d make a lot of money with that skill. I don’t. I’m just saying, a fresh Texas backup against a winded CSU starter, or fresh backup, isn’t necessarily something that plays in CSU’s favor. But, again, who the fuck knows.
  18. How many of their starters make Texas’ two-deep?
  19. JFC, you drank Coke with actual coke in it, didn’t you.
  20. Maybe they’ll keep the names, along the lines of what the AFC and NFC did.
  21. Not going to lie, Aggie progeny or not, 52 hits in 34 plate appearances is exceptionally good.
  22. Think marshmallow between graham cracker, coated in thin chocolate. My bad on the quote.
