  1. "It was my understanding there would be no vocabulary"
  2. You know, I really don't appreciate you making me look up definitions.
  3. I mean, dude was DC for the Ravens. I think he's familiar with how this shit goes.
  4. Wasn't sure where to put this, but here is the final scoreboard over the Big 12 left-behinds: Credit to u/hinderdumbass on the LHN subreddit.
  5. This is a little too much like Aggies jumping on a dude for spelling it "UT" instead of "t.u." for my taste, but you do you.
  6. There's a lot wrong with that article, but this part in particular made me chuckle. Yes, Texas was "hoarding" the Big 12's money, much like how the IRS thinks I'm "hoarding" a bunch of my salary. When other teams start to think of "welfare" as "entitlements," it's clearly time to move on.
  7. I would be so, so happy if Mukuba could keep Taffe off the field. I like Taffe and I've been thankful that he's been in the safety room to set the floor, but we need better. His athleticism just isn't there for the position. I know some people appreciate his knowledge of the position and some other people just hate him for being a former walk-on (white) DB, but there's no disagreement that we need a better athlete back there. So it will be us and Ole Miss in the SECCCG then. That will be fun.
  8. It's gotten the point where a Hi from Gerry means about as much to me as 👀 from Harris. At best it means we got a silent from a football recruit, and silents just aren't worth much anymore. Even worse, sometimes its a basketball recruit. Which is fine, but it's like seeing a chocolate chip cookie in the jar, getting it out and realizing that it was just oatmeal raisin. It's not bad, but it's not what you wanted.
  9. Nah, it’s not ignorance. It’s the same shit as Bohls asking if horns down will be a penalty, every preseason, when he knows damn well the rules haven’t changed. “Texas bad” gets clicks and that’s all they need to know.
  10. Bone's bio says he's an Alabama guy who just came over from Rivals. So...grain of salt.
  11. I understand the appeal of LSU to an unsophisticated person. And I mean "unsophisticated" in the technical sense, not calling them stupid or anything. They lack expertise or experience, and can be convinced by a pitch that seems strong on a superficial level. While at Texas, Bo Davis helped put four different DL in the NFL, including a first-rounder. Credit where its due, Davis was the coach most responsible for developing Murphy. If they have a strong NIL pitch - regardless of the veracity of the pitch - to go with Davis' reputation, I can understand it. I also understand that people in CFB coaching circles are high on Kenny Baker's potential, but he has nothing to sell at the moment. So I don't necessarily fault him for not winning head-to-head with Davis, although it is disconcerting. But where the fuck was this version of Bo Davis at Texas? Why did Davis struggle to recruit quality DL here? There's no way that our NIL and sales pitch are worse than LSU (with or without Davis). Was he focused on development and there's only so many hours in the day? Did he think his 2022 class was enough to coast on (despite not being as good as it seemed on paper)? I don't get it. I hope that Zion and Brown sit down with the staff and they can explain why LSU's pitch is bullshit. I hope we get that chance. Because I'm pretty fucking sick and tired of losing recruits to a school that I frankly view as being worse than A&M.
  12. You gotta think like a business and do the math. Is the amount of money it costs to fix the stadium worth the extra number of units sold due to the fix? If not, then don't do it. Not to be mean about it, but nobody gives a shit if Southwest's stadium looks right.
  13. Shit, I'm pretty sure Sewanee has one too. Remove the irrelevant nerd schools and Texas is pretty much undefeated.
  14. This feels like one of those misleading statistics where it's technically true, but we've only had two games (or something) in the last 20 years that kicked off at 2:30 so it's really not that interesting. At any rate, we've only won 8 out of the last 20, so regardless of kickoff time our success has not been great this century.
  15. Red River is never late, nor is it early, it arrives precisely when it means to.
