  1. They are dragging this too much. We get it, humanity is cooked, Carol is lonely AF to go along with being miserable (a character trait), and Manu from south america is a hardcore MF. We also know what's going to happen in S1: Manu will go thru trials and tribulations and eventually link up with Carol (OMG a human connection with someone who has the same core belief like I do that this is all wrong!) They'll set off on their cure journey S1 will end here somewhere, S2... Multiple advances and setbacks on the cure journey Eventually they figure out how to turn a single person back, probably an actual scientist The hive shows signs of getting more adversarial S2 ends around here, S3... The hive converts Manu, who we now love, Carol has to do a thing to bring him back Reveal of the ticking time bomb for the series end in S4: e.g. the mothership is coming, or the food sitatution is so critical 99% of humans will die in 6 months, it doesnt' matter what it is they will just need something Hive and Carol's team realize they have area of cooperation and reluctantly work together on a thing while simultaneously and secretly working thier own plans Ominous closing shot of the whatever the ticking clock is counting ever downward S3 ends around here, S4... Final sprint to the mass cure Surprise: Hive finally figures out how to easily convert Carol! They give her a choice and it's F-no They decide that their imperative overrides that choice and give her one more week to enjoy autonomy before conversion Carol and her ragtag team finally crack the code on a COVID-like airspread virus to reverse the hive and set it to go off... ...but Carol's time runs out and she gets converted! Too bad the clock is already ticking on her team's cure virus release Cure virus hits, people start to get converted back, chaos ensues (OMG humanity is so bad and life was so better before!), The Others have their "I told you so moment," more people die but the cure is spreading The script flips and now it's the Hive that's going into hiding to prevent their conversion back Series ends with the final pocket of the Hive sealed up in a bio-research facility where they can filter the air. Carol talks to her homegirl across the glass and the Hive pleads for mercy/we were just trying to do the right thing/let us make our own choice, whatever. Series ends on Carol's hand hovering over the button to push the cure virus into lab with the final group of Hive ...does she push it and eradicate their species? Or not? Oh, so mysterious! Fans of the show in outrage over inconclusive ending and demand S5.
  2. Looks like RDJ and RGIII had a baby
  3. That place is going to be nicknamed The Fuck House. It's going to be Olympic village level fucking. We're playing the long game, getting the next generation of UT athletes going early. What fucks here changes the world!
  4. Only on Surly, could we have a multi-page thread celebrating the achievements of a poster named "Cum Stained Jorts." Well and maybe reddit. Seriously congratulations. You've always been part of the club, only now you have the paperwork. Well done, be proud and hold 'em high 🤘
  5. Flood isn't going anywhere, he and Sark are too tight. RB coach as sacrificial lamb. Maybe we get Akina too.
  6. With the holes in our RB room, shouldn't our first call be Baugh and see what it would take?
  7. Bookmarking this post for the summertime when hopium is at its peak. Also you forgot "I'm hearing the team really has a chip on their shoulder from being left out of the CFP last year," and "The S&C program this year has been tougher than ever, with reports of players puking in the locker room," and "Wow, Arch is really showing his leadership by arranging 7x7 sessions without the coaches even involved!" Any other troupes we missed?
  8. This is loser thinking. Notre Dame is rightly being completely clowned right now, as would we. Aside from another month of valuable practice reps and install, you get evaluation of younger players, engagement with portal players (who can attend practices), and you can start the 2026 campaign on the right foot. Agree or not, CFB is a perception game. Influencing the committee, media, everyone for next year starts now. Big difference of "Texas finishes strong blasting Michigan to setup Arch for 2026 Heisman and CFP run" vs. "Texas decides to be a big baby and pout by not participating because their feels got hurt for not squeaking into the playoff"
  9. All this thread is missing now is the poster who comes in 15 minutes before the rankings are released to inform us that "Texas odds just spiked big time on Kalshi!" ...only to see us come back ranked #13 again and out.
  10. Nice try, I ain't buying into SHIT for Texas until we beat Georgia. So I guess if we make the SEC CG next year. Until then, week-to-week enjoyment only, no peeking at the future* * Just made my reservations for Vegas on 1/27/2027
  11. Yeah I'd like a Georgia breakdown and why they have our number so much
  12. Who TF programs the computers? Who creates the rules the magical "non-biased" algorithm follows? Spoiler: Humans. All you're doing is putting a computer facade on human judgement. We still get regular postings of at least six different BCS-era computer models who all produce different outputs based on what the humans who built them told them to weigh. And to make it even worse, most of those models are "secret" with regard to their rules and weightings, so they are even less transparent than the committee. At least the committee sends out their talking head to spew some b.s. on TV, the computer model doesn't even have to do that, it's just "welp, that's what the model produced!" Put this in place now and you can immediately CTRL+F "committee is biased" with "computer model is biased" and all you've done is change the words, not the outcome one iota.
  13. The company I was working with put me up at a place called the Leela Palace. I think it was literally an old palace...several acres of compound ringed by 30 foot stone walls. Every day I was picked up by a driver to take me across town to the client. Just like you said, as soon as you pulled out of the compound and drove a quarter mile, there was a square city block of burning trash. That thing was on fire the entire week I was there, just smoldering. 😳
  14. It's a big FUCK NO to being in a conference with Baylor, Houston, TCU, and Tech again, no thank you!
  15. 100%. Specifically in China and India. I was in Hong Kong about 12 years ago, and was in a very nice hotel on the 87th floor, I had a great view of the city. Right across from me were workers building an even taller high rise, and they had bamboo scaffolding going all the way to the top. I asked some of the team I was consulting with: "that looks dangerous, is that stable, do the lashings break and have people ever fallen?" and their response was shocking to me. They said: "Oh yeah, all the time. Every week a couple of the workers fall to their deaths, but it's no big deal. We just get a few more (Chinese) mainlanders, they're lined up to come to Hong Kong." When I consulted in India, I was in an all-day meeting in a conference room. They had a guy dedicated to holding the door to the meeting room open. That was his job. All day, the whole day, holding the door open, to a meeting room mind you not like the doorman at the front of the building or anything. I asked about it later and the manager joked it was cheaper than buying a doorstop. I think about these experiences often and how thankful I am to be born and live in the U.S. We bitch and moan about stuff here but we have it so, so, so much better than 99.99999% of the world. They'd feel rich on 2% of our income.
  16. I already hated Notre Dame, but this year is icing on that cake. Fuck ND, why are we playing them in out years? If we lose, we are fucked from the CFP. If they lose to us, it's a "good loss to a quality team" and the committee justifies it by them beating Navy and Stanford by 40.
  17. Yeah but Ohio State beat the #1 team in the country*! *On week 1 based on pre-season rankings
  18. mid for Texas standards. I realize your comment wasn't directed at this, but also top quintile isn't enough to be top 10 and make the playoffs, either, the topic of this thread.
  19. Fine but this makes the 2nd time in 3 years that Sark is playing an injured WR over several highly recruited and demonstrably productive other WRs (e.g. Livingstone got limited looks at Georgia while Wingo was watching half of his targets go through his hands). Same with Worthy, only we had fewer options then. And we can't say it's because of Wingo's other attributes like blocking, because he is poor at that. No reason we couldn't run out Mosley, Moore, and Livingstone and if we need a 4th and 5th we have a deep bench. Sark's stubbornness hits again. Sarkenness.
  20. The opt outs and transfers if we are not in the CFP...will we have enough to play in a bowl game
