Unpopular opinion: we need the extra year playing at the kids table in the Big12 before we jump up to the adults table in the SEC.

I want that Rondale Moore guy, is he in the transfer portal?

There have been some inspections, minor improvements. Nothing major. Enough for the lege to say "look we did stuff!" to angry voters but no real change. Other than the utilities now adding surcharges for costs many of them are not incurring.

Wasn’t perfect but very catchable and no defender within 3 yards. That’s on X as a drop.

We are goi g to lose by 30

Safeties literally standing in the end zone watching the guy walk in WTF

Don’t waste your time. My business is in professional training and we had a German guy fly to Boston, take our classes, then fly back to Germany and replicate exactly what we do, slide for slide. Complete rip-off of our IP. Our CEO was pissed, he sends a cease and desist, nothing, hired a German lawyer to do the same, nothing. Eventually sued him in German court. I got to fly over and testify. The case was heard by a 3 judge panel. The Germans guy defense was basically “look at this big bad American company who is trying to bully me!” They found that he infringed, but gave him the ability to tweak the slides with different words (same concepts) and avoid any monetary penalties. We spent probably $1M on nothing. Save your time and sanity and invest it in better SEO to get clients that way. The people he scams aren’t your problem. Do right by your clients and get word of mouth referrals. More loyal and cheaper.

Which is ironic considering China hasn't allowed Marvel to release it in mainland China.

It’s a tough balance in alien invasion epics between showing the aliens and creating tension and anticipation. The last ep had a very “Signs” feel to it. I’m a sucker for these stories, although I love the world building a destruction of humanity stuff. The ensemble cast is a way to show multiple perspectives but they should have had someone in a mid or higher level of govt that they are following too, to give some insight into what is known or not known by the govt and what our response looks like. I just hope they don’t cop out at the end and say “oh sorry it wasn’t actually aliens it was a Russian bio weapon experiment in space that got loose!”

This last episode in the house was good tension. I do hate the Dad, he’s a bad actor and his character is written to make terrible decisions…and he has plot armor, although he probably has a bug implanted in him now.

LOL with Fox going with “Brass Monkey” there. Somebody is paying attention.

Oh I’m not absolving blame from the coaching. We also have bad players who haven’t been developed. I’m sure Traylor would be 8-0 here lol

Moore is responsible for a 14 point swing by himself dropping a TD and letting another through his hands for an INT. Drops everywhere today. Sark is the fraud thou…

Moore alone was responsible for a 14 point swing. Dropped a TD. Another went through his hands for an INT. Also killed at least one other drive on a drop. But it’s Sark who is the fraud thou…

I'd say prior to game 1, considering it did w/ Sark.

Corollary to the "most popular player on the team is the backup QB" is now: "the most popular coach is the coach you didn't hire last time around." Someone on another thread was opining that Texas shoulda/coulda/woulda hired Traylor...LOL. I can see the Surlyhorns blowups already "OMG Texas hires the UTSA coach to replace our failed HOUSTON coach!" "OMG Texas swings and misses, AGAIN" "OMG we can't let our nuts swing and actually hire a big time coach with a track record of success, we have to go for the unproven coach with 'potential!'" "With ALL THE RESOURCES IN THE WORLD we hire Traylor hot off one year at UTSA?!!" etc etc etc He may actually end up being great at UTSA, Tech or wherever. But anyone saying that it would have been a smart hire for Texas a year ago is ignoring that CDC woulda been run out of town on rail with that hire.

Lifting this from the 1-0 EGAT podcast...here is Texas' 2019 class (should be upperclassmen leaders of the team now): Bru McCoy - never played a snap for Texas Jordan Whittington - often hurt, out for rest of this season too? Jake Smith - transfer to USC Tyler Johnson - can't crack depth chart De'Gabriel Floyd - retired Tyler Owens - portal Kenyatta Watson II - portal Marcus Washington - a little bit of production David Gbenda - rotation player Braden Liebrock - perennially injured Chris Adimora - backup Derrian Brown - retired Roschon Johnson - QB covered to backup RB Isaiah Hookfin - very limited PT, backup Byron Morin - burred in depth chart Javon Shepard - lasted 3 months, not with team Jacoby Jones - quality, but injury prone Marcus Tillman Jr. - constantly injured T'Vondre Sweat - starter! Peter Mpagi - medically retired Caleb Johnson - portal Kennedy Lewis - kicked off team Marcus Caldwell - has he seen the field? Jared Wiley - starter Willie Tyler - portal Juwan Mitchell - portal Those are our team's leaders right now. I haven't done a similar breakdown for 2018 but I'm guessing it would look similar. We have systemic talent identification and development issues that span the last 2 coaches prior to this and won't be cleaned up 7 games into the first season. Talent is what talent does and those that put expect chicken salad from chicken shit and want to give up after some shitty games where frankly we dogs to OU and OSU for a reason, can go fuck yourselves.

OMG! How did you think that up?!! It's so EASY, holy shit!!!! Quick, someone forward this to Sark!!!!!111

Buncha over reactions all over Surly. Yeah it sucks that we lost. NO it doesn't mean that we're going to lose to OU for eternity. The whole "different coach same story" schtick is tired. We didn't lose to OU because of ineptitude on the coaching side. Yes Sark could have "counter adjusted" to OU's defensive adjustments better...but we put up 48 points!!! Our problem isn't X's and O's, it's Jimmys and Joes. Unfortunately fixing that takes more than half a season. Those of you expecting to beat (or "dominate OU" on the Surly podcast) had UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS this season. And I'm here to tell you something else: thinking we're going to win out and see OU again in the CCG is also an unrealistic expectation. We will drop at least 1 more to one of OSU, ISU, or Baylor. If we get there, it's going to be a back-it-in situation, not a Texas-wins-out-and-controls-our-own-destiny situation. That's who we are this year. Even if we get back to the CCG vs. OU again...what makes anyone think the result will be different? If anything it could be a lot worse, now that they have a legit dual threat QB. Don't get me wrong, I hope we make it, I hope we beat their ass in round 2 if we get there. But I ain't expecting it, this year. This isn't a "let's wait till next year, get 'em then!" troupe...it's reality. OP talking about NY6 bowl and top 5 finish...LOL. That's not who this team is (yet).

So hilarious that Mack is 0-11 lifetime vs. FSU. Got damn I'm glad he's gone.

Stop with the "fix" talk already. That's gaping pussy shit. The refs are incompetent, we all already knew that. They missed a ton of calls, as they do every game. If we had somehow beat OU, their fans would be posting screenshots of shit the refs missed on us too. There isn't a grand conspiracy, there's no one pulling strings behind the scenes. Especially Bowlsby, lol. Lemme get this straight, the guy who got totally punked in realignment is somehow organizing a conspiracy against ONE of the two teams that screwed him. He's simultaneously incompetent enough to get screwed in realignment and competent enough to orchestrate a conspiracy involving MULTIPLE people in the Big12 HQ and the refs, knowing that if any word of it leaked it would be a total shitshow. Occam's razor, what's more likely? That?? Or that the refs just suck and OU got the benefit of some great bounces plus our defensive personnel are bad? I realize we're all hurting and want some bad guy to lash out against but c'mon man, this is straight up aggy. Don't be aggy, take the loss pussies and realize that our trend line improving, you don't cure the stink of Herman/Strong/Mack in half a season, and you can't put this on conspiracy. JFC.

And If Casey were an AI QB Robot, he'd never miss a throw! We're talking about a guy who threw for 5 TDs and ~400 yards. Not even Tom Brady is perfect and hits every throw and he's got more to work behind in the O line than our guy. Casey grades out as an "A" for the RRS.

Ugh. Of all the shit of the past 10 years, our continued losing to TCU might be the worst (aside from managing to lose to Kansas). Patterson is that smug smarmy bitch when he beats Texas, and such a sore fucking loser when he's put back in his place.

JFC Gary. Take a step back. Take a look at your life. Hug your children. Kiss your wife.
