  1. The modern game is a bit tough on passers who are not also good to great athletes/runners. We can win more with QE, but he has to grow as much this coming year as in the past year.
  2. Recalling the earlier back and forth with a few WA fans, I have to admit to being self deluded about Penix vs our D. First observation concluded we were his perfect foil, and that he could very well light us up. Much better than any previous opponent. From there, I welcomed arguments that seemed to point to some UT defensive prowess, like the line. But the obvious 1st look turned out to be reality. Penix’ best game ever. Yes we were miraculously close. Give it to the players for that huge effort. I just need to be more honest about our team. This was not a game the defense could “win”. It was on the offense. Oh, and Sushi did point out how their D was better than the numbers suggested. He was right. It was tough sledding for our O. Then there are the matters of fumbles and penalties. One can say the game was won /lost on that front, given what Penix and company were doing. Next year.
  3. Flash: they hate everyone, and they hate themselves. This is why they come across as perpetually twisted/mad bro.
  4. I’m thankful. I predicted 9-3, and 12-2 with a spot in the CFB bets that all to hell. We humans will always want more. We can seek that more in upcoming seasons, legitimately. This is a different place than we are used to.
  5. That’s a big if. Evers had that terrible pick in the 3q of OSU. This will be his best game, says the tea leaves.
  6. Well, AZ looked plenty good, dangerous. UW has played in tough games other than Oregon.
  7. The settlers have been terrible since at least the 80’s. Roth had a good take of it in one of his novels back then.
  8. Not contesting that, just the notion they are “compelled” to by some quasi legal reason. They are not.
  9. This fiduciary duty speech is over rated. No company was sued for not investing in China. Or for any other reason I recall. If so, hardly a deluge. Companies can make choices based on what they think is “right “ among other things.
  10. My parents bought a 1100 sf house in Killeen in 1954, on NCO wages. That house, piece of crap that it is, just sold for $90k. With renovations over the years, that is$50 something per sf. But it is still in Killeen, and no gen z wants to live there and commute to Austin.
  11. In addition to the issues listed above, mistakes plagued the OK St game. The multiple deep PI’s, one not called; the 3q interception, the lack of “urgency” opening the d\second half, the f.g/delay of game fiasco. If the less than great offense shows, we can’t afford game changing mistakes.
  12. Good point. Once money gets in the picture, it may be hard to get it out.
  13. But he’s not big and cannot afford to get dinged. I don’t think the coaches nor he want to run the Q2.
  14. 5% injury rate? Several multiples of the public rate, and way higher than industry standards, orders of magnitude. This is clear evidence of a poorly run manufacturing enterprise
  15. More MBZ love. Our 2014 ML350 has just under 50k miles. It will surely go another 10 years. EV selection should be easy then.
  16. Helpful level of explanation. I guess we need the offense (and defense) to show: this ain’t no Oregon.
  17. Yes, most likely early trend will be ineffectiveness in the run and shift to virtual all pass. You allude to last year’s game and that seems a bit far away and somewhat different teams. I do think UW can score 27 or more,. Sure. How much friction can our D generate? One of two huge questions for Texas. The other is, will the great offense show. It has happened, and recently, and more than once.
  18. Yes, the trend needs to continue. Yet, it won’t be recognized by the overlords.
