  1. I get what you're saying and don't disagree. I'm the weird one here. But man, "isolationist mountain person" is my dream job. My loving wife and family have really prevented me from pursuing the noble goals of smoking weed in the woods and shooting guns all day.
  2. I've never understood why people from Colorado seem so angry. This is true for the little pussy in this thread, but also for Buffs fans in general - there's a lot of weird anger in that fanbase. They always seem pissed off and combative with a weird chip on their shoulder. Colorado as a place seems so nice and laid back. Every lawyer in my firm who lands a national client moves to our Denver office and immediately starts phoning it in. They WFH at their "mountain house" and let the junior partners do all the work. They know they've got it made so why sweat it out on the bayou? The weather in CO is pleasant if you don't mind the cold (and it's miles better than Houston in any case), cost of living is modest compared to CA and NY, there's great skiing and hiking, great breweries, weed is legal, etc. etc. etc. So why so angry all the time?
  3. I'm sorry, are you actually trying to talk about the Baylor game in this thread?
  4. Bama had 10 penalties. Rice had 5, and Wyoming had 3. So it's 10-8 split between SEC refs and Big 12 refs, albeit though that the Big 12 took two games to award fewer penalties. But that could have been a function of our opponent - calling penalties on Rice is like smacking a puppy on the nose. Doing it when you don't absolutely have to is cruel.
  5. https://thedailytexan.com/2018/05/03/we-must-challenge-the-term-drag-rat/ After some exhaustive research I found that the Daily Texan opposes the use of the phrase "drag rat," so that's the clearly correct term.
  6. It will be interesting to see how they do this weekend: Bama - Ole Miss Wyoming - App State Rice - USF I already feel good about the season, but I'll feel even better if all three teams win. Then we just need to dogwalk Baylor for me to dive headfirst into the koolaid.
  7. I've lived in Austin my whole life and have only ever heard them referred to as "drag rats," by people my age (40's) and by people who went to UT in the 60's and 70's. Not doubting you or disagreeing, it's just weird to see a new term used when I thought "drag rats" was ubiquitous.
  8. I'll shit on Baylor all day erry day, but Aranda seems like a decent guy. He's not a fucking crybaby like Matt Campbell.
  9. I heard that too, but he's contradicting himself a little bit. He's previously described the 3-3-5 as a "bear trap" where the scheme invites you to run to it can crash down on you with safeties. He says that's how TCU shut down the run for us last season. I'm sure there's nuance that I don't appreciate, but it seems like the 3-3-5 has the personnel of a pass defense with the concepts and assignments of a run defense. All of that depends on having aggressive DBs, especially safeties, who like to play downhill. I don't have an answer to how we consistently beat the 3-3-5, but for me the real question is - does Baylor have the personnel to effectively run that defense? Do they have safeties who can stop the run? If not, then running the ball seems like the answer. If they have the personnel, then who knows. Throw it to Worthy in the flat and let him be the fastest guy.
  10. Every time I see @6th Street post, it is some sad sack bullshit. Being a bigger doomer than Satya is a high bar to clear, but he does it with ease. I genuinely think he roots for the team to fail so he can be right about how much Ewers and Sark suck.
  11. This seem correct to me, but we'll still have the kabuki theater of a QB competition with all the attendant sturm und drang on this board. Twitter will go nuts with it. Ketch will claim Maalik is better but the boosters demanded Arch. I just hope that Maalik gets to put out a little tape in blowouts this year and finds a good landing spot. He's a great kid and that can get lost in all the bullshit.
  12. The time and date of the tweet is at the bottom left. 9/19 at 5:22 PM
  13. You know you've fucked up when @Helobious is calling you regarded.
  14. Someone on reddit actually ran the numbers on this and it's about even, with Texas having a slightly harder schedule:
  15. The late-stage SWC was a joke compared to the first version of the Big 12.
  16. It's weird that Brown has a Big 12 title and Sam doesn't.
  17. Every season they take it for granted that they will beat Ole Miss and MSU and every season they lose to one or both. But the very next season, there they are, counting those games as wins. Such an amazing testament to the Aggie brain.
  18. Same thing happened to my parents who took me and my brother. The chilled monkey brains and pregnant snake left an impression on my young mind. But we loved the "Kali Ma Shakti De" part and ran around screaming that each other for a week.
