  1. Man, I thought we were toast after they picked up that first. I turned to my dad and said "that's the ball game and I'm switching to bourbon." Still can't believe we pulled it out.
  2. Glad to see Sark finally chirping about the officiating. Must really be pissing him off for him to actually come out and saying something.
  3. I started lurking on this board back in the dark days of Strong and Herman. I assumed most of the guys on here were pissed off all the time because we sucked. Now I'm getting the impression that most of them are just like that. We beat a really good Bama team. We took a frustrating loss to a decent but not great OU team. We've taken care of business against everyone else, including a win over the third best team in the Big 12 with our backup QB. The rest of our regular season games are winnable - and not in the Tom Herman "well we should win but you know we're going to fuck it up" sense, I mean actually winnable. It's November and we are the odds on favorite to win the conference. We have a realistic shot of making CFP. Smile you fucks.
  4. Bringing Baron in the blitz is not great. Dude needs to be shoring up zone.
  5. So you know who's out but you won't say because you're worried KSU analysts might read this board?
  6. I always enjoy these graphics but has anyone actually kept track of how accurate they are?
  7. One could even say that their fans only attend games when the weather is fair.
  8. Jesus Christ on a fucking Cracker. People are not recommending El Arroyo or Chuy's or Salt Lick because the food is amazing. We all fucking live / lived in Austin. We know it's not amazing. You are not special for knowing that the food in those places is not great. But you're giving advice for someone from fucking Utah who will probably never visit Austin again. And you're acting like they need to go to the roach-infested strip mall on East 7th because it totally has the actual best Tex-Mex. Or better yet, let's send him to the BBQ place that has a line wrapping around 3 city blocks next to I-35 because that's a great dining experience. Stop being autistic Austin weirdos. We're recommending tourist traps to the tourists because they're fun and people like them. Chuy's on Barton Spring is the original Chuy's so when they go home and go to some shitty off-brand franchise in Nevada they can tell their friends they've been to the real Chuy's in Austin. It has fun shit on the walls and Elvis everywhere. Stop hating fun. El Arroyo is literally famous for the bill board shit. Salt Lick is great because of the drive and the "tailgate" while you wait in line. The food is fine. You all know this. Stop being autistic.
  9. People have already given you good suggestions on food, but I'll add two more: Texmex - Maudie's. There's one on Lake Austin Blvd and one on South Lamar. They're solid - not the best, but it's easy to get a table and they don't do anything badly. Margaritas are good if you're a BYU grad who drinks. You'll find better food at the little hole-in-the-wall places on east Riverside but I don't expect an out of towner to be that adventurous. BBQ - All the good places in town will be packed. There are a lot of great spots outside the city limits (Lockhart especially), but they're a pretty long drive. I'm going to recommend Bert's Bar-B-Q. It used to be a campus staple with a location on 19th street, but that burned down years ago. They're now located in NW Austin. They're not the best BBQ in town, but they're good and convenient. They used to make a frito-pie called the To-Man and I highly recommend it if that's still the case.
  10. We are currently 14/28 for touchdowns in the RZ for a rate of 50%. 9 rushing and 5 passing. 10 of our other trips ended in FGs. In the Big 12, that ranks us only higher than TCU, Baylor, and Cincinnati. Which is not good. That said - "RZ Trips that End on TDs" is not the only metric by which one measures an offense. It's frustrating to come away with a FG, but those are still points, and our scoring percentage is good relative to the rest of the league. We also have the hardest SOS in the league, so our numbers, though poor, have been generated against tougher competition.
  11. I don't really want to weigh in on this nascent shit storm, but I am curious about something. If it's her car, doesn't she get to decide what you put on it? Isn't that just normal human behavior regardless of gender or relationship?
  12. You can't just say "Tom Herman with a sledgehammer" without posting the gif, ffs.
  13. His arm talent is bananas though and like many of my ex girlfriends the NFL is going to trick itself into thinking it can fix all the other problems. Dude is going to be the 3rd or 4th QB taken.
  14. As a mongoloid who is unable to discern what is happening with a play in real time, I greatly appreciate these types of breakdowns.
  15. The top teams on that list with a percentage of over 70% are as follows: KSU (13th in total offense) BYU (122nd in total offense) Kansas (29th in total offense) WVU (68th in total offense) For reference, Texas is ranked 15th in total offense. Worse than KSU, but significantly better than all the other schools. Would you trade our offense for BYU's? Poor playcalling in the red zone and settling for FG is frustrating, but touchdowns are touchdowns. We just happen to be better at scoring with a long field than a compressed field. And that's not unusual - many otherwise great play callers struggle when they can't stretch the defense. This is also present in PK's "bend don't break" strategy for the defense that bows up in the red zone, using the defense's natural advantage on the compressed field. It's a problem. It needs to get better. But don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
