  1. If you want to add terms to the bet, you need to offer up some consideration for those terms. I've got $100 on white chocolate to make 750 yds in one season at some point in his Texas career. I don't really care about the t-shirt thing, but maybe CTJ will be happy to take your money too.
  2. but seriously, how can the air quality be that bad in Wisconsin?
  3. Damn dude, harsh. “Baby Wheels” is a legitimately hilarious nickname for Ewers tho.
  4. I didn't know you were capable of being pithy.
  5. All this comment says to me is that "red zone scoring percentage" expressed as a ranking is not a useful metric for evaluating an offense. Would you rather have Texas' offense from 2021 / 2022, or Texas' offense from 2023 / 2024? I know which one I prefer. If the data tells you something useful then it's great. If it tells you something you know to be bullshit, then it's just more noise.
  6. I'll defer to @Helobious who probably knows better than I do, but I think he's having surgery to fix a problem that's been there for a while. He played baseball in high school and his throwing motion in football was affected. He never really got the motion down and it has created significant wear on his shoulder. He didn't want to miss the time it would take to fix it, so he never had the surgery. He finally had the operation this off season. That's a long way of saying, I think the surgery was intended to improve his arm.
  7. You'd think there would be enough sluts (respectfully) in any decent college town that you wouldn't have to pay them.
  8. I generally agree with you but will miss Bolden's haywire dangerman antics on PR. I'm loving the idea of him being a halfmad adrenaline junky who refuses to fair catch because it's for pussies and he needs another fuckin hit goddamnit! Even if the coaches don't like it and part of me wishes he would take it just a little easier, I have to tip my hat to anyone who lives life at full tilt.
  9. Baker has been such a pleasant surprise. I wasn't exactly down on the hire, but I didn't understand it. Why were we taking a chance on a relative unknown? We're Texas, we can get someone with skins on the wall. Especially for a position that Sarkisian didn't really value - after all, Bo Davis is an amazing recruiter and hasn't done shit so clearly Sark wasn't giving Bo the support he needed. I was clearly wrong on both counts. I'd say the summer of 2024 did as much to build my trust in Sark as anything he's done during the season. Dude understands people.
  10. Well now I really want him on staff
  11. If Napier gets fired, I hope the staff tries to pick him up in some capacity. I've always thought he was a good coach, even if he's in a bit over his head at Florida.
  12. My first Jarmusch movie and I’ve loved him ever since. His movies aren’t always great but I always enjoy them. I was sophomore at Austin High but a lot my friends had graduated and were freshmen at Texas. We all went to see it at the Dobie one night and as the “little kid” in the group, they all convinced me it was real. In my head I knew they were full of shit, but when the movie started I got completely immersed. I was just old enough to enjoy it but young enough to still be sucked in. CTJ is right though, people who didn’t see it in the theater won’t understand the effect it had on people. In fact, with the ubiquity of found footage and prevalence of spoilers on the internet, I don’t think any movie will be able to catch people the way the BWP did ever again.
  13. A man of culture, I see. Has she seen Color Out of Space with Nick Cage? The hell scene from All Dogs go to Heaven was worse, imho
  14. Hate to say it, but the MPAA may have been right when it initially rated Poltergeist R. Not sure how Spielberg got it dropped to PG.
  15. Bobby dropping hints about NIL:
