  1. May I offer that you are perhaps being a bit hyperbolic and that his post, while it had it's flaws, was on the whole beneficial to the thread?
  2. Oh thank God. I regret the part I've played in this Glen Powel tangent. Agreed about Shaw. That dude has a very Alfred Collins-esque career where the talent and physical attributes were obviously there, but he never really did anything with them. If Baker is unlocking that potential then we are in great shape at DT in light of how the other transfers + January are doing. Fucking Arkansas. Can their medical staff have really missed that dude needed surgery? That seems shockingly incompetent, even for the pigs. One thing Bobby mentioned last night that I didn't see in his practice report - Arch is staying late with a group to run the offense even after the coaches leave. That has real "If you want to beat Ohio State, meet me here every night at 7 p.m." energy. I know we've heard a lot about Arch during camp, but it doesn't seem like he's been the focus. Even when IT/OTF are talking about the QBs, they're mostly talking about the battle for QB2. I assume no news is good news, and I love hearing about Arch's leadership. Ewers was great, but he never struck me as a "lead from the front" kind of QB. I think Texas is better when the guy under center shows people the way.
  3. Everybody Wants Some is probably his best movie. It’s a lighthearted Linklater movie and nostalgic about being Texas college life in the 80’s. So pretty much perfect for all the olds on this board.
  4. Boomer meme but relevant to this thread.
  5. 11 stayed / currently are at Texas. 17 transfers out. I like everyone we kept. I even like some of the guys who left (Agbo, Finkley, Maalik), but I understand why they're not here anymore. But 17 still feels like a lot.
  6. Apropos of nothing, but are you same SL Xpress I see posting on SECrant? And if so, why the fuck do you even bother? That place is an absolute toilet bowl that makes TexAgs look thoughtful and well informed.
  7. Another cry for help. We're here for you buddy.
  8. He doesn't English good. But if you just string together words to evoke feelings, and disregard grammar and sentence construction, he makes a good point. Good teams didn't lose to Auburn in 2024. Also, lol at that one Aggie bitching about South Carolina being ranked ahead of them. Did he forget that SCAR beat them 44-20?
  9. I feel like misanthropy can be misinterpreted as cockiness. But just because a guy hates everyone doesn't mean he doesn't hate himself too. Maybe every time Sydney lashes out, its a cry for help.
  10. I see more Gundy in it, even if Gundy is usually has less energy when talking down his team. But yeah, Dillingham is the right attitude for a Big 12 coach who wants to win consistently. I think ASU really got a good one in him, and he'll probably stick around no matter how much success he has.
  11. Are we just letting this thread go down whatever tangent until recruiting picks back up? I'm fine with that, just want to be in step with the vibe. Anyway, prime Katherine Ross may have been one of the most beautiful women to ever live.
  12. True. But I'm really thinking about WR play in terms of its relevance to comparing '23 Ewers and '24 Ewers, rather than comparing Ewers to other QBs.
  13. At the risk of stirring up this pot of shit, have we considered that Ewers supporting cast in 2024 was worse than it was in 2023? All this talk about the talent around him has me wondering. I think WR and RB definitely took a step back. OL probably improved, just with the same group of guys getting another year older, but losing Worthy, Mitchell, Whittington, Brooks, and Baxter could not have helped. Golden was a great replacement, but Bond disappointed and the other WR options (Wingo and Moore) were very green. No hate on Wisner either, who stepped up in a big way, but he is just not on the same level of Brooks and Baxter. Ewers definitely looked worse this past season, but I think some of it could be explained by the offense as a whole taking a step back.
  14. I just can't respect any preseason top-25 that ranks either A&M or OU.
  15. Could be that he's just the weak side defensive end in four man fronts for short yardage or goal line. Not for base defense.
  16. I spent a lot of time in Tennessee. Vandy girls are great. Vandy dudes generally suck. Weird and annoying, but think they’re hot shit. Being the BMOC at Vandy is like being the most popular kid in band.
  17. They sell hemmed jorts. Nothing cut off, just made that way. They’re the height of fashion in Pflugerville.
  18. I love that Sark still calls him Kurt
  19. I want to reconsider what you just said in light of who you are saying it to.
