  1. What a great read. Whenever I think the last 10+ years have been rough, I should come back to this post and thank God I didn't go to A&M.
  2. I don't really understand this stuff, but he still looks like he's hopping around a bit during the spring game. It's interesting to compare his footwork to Murphy and Manning, who don't have Ewer's touch but seem to get more planted before throwing.
  3. FTFY. I also love how they're ranting that On3 is so biased in favor of Texas when Texas only had 4 players on the list, only one of whom is in the top-50.
  4. Shit, they're not even the best regional diploma mill in Texas. Tech has that covered and, unlike A&M, they can actually beat the Mississippi schools. Fuck Tech as well, obviously.
  5. Delightfully on-brand for a TCU fan to think some 20 year old is sweating crude oil futures.
  6. I'm not gonna get all CR here, but the rest of his twitter makes it clear that he is living on another planet.
  7. Why post this stupid bullshit if you know it's stupid bullshit. Now I've clicked on the link and inadvertently given that asshole exactly what he wanted when he wrote this regarded article. Come the fuck on.
  8. It's nice to have numbers confirming that the OSU game was our worst performance by a wide margin. Certainly felt that way at the time. It's also interesting that we played worse in our win over ISU than we did in our loss to TCU.
  9. "If history is any guide, it won't last more than a decade or so" Texas was in the SWC for 81 years, and will have been in the Big 12 for 27 years before we leave. That's 10+ years longer in the Big 12 than A&M, who bounced to the SEC as soon as it served their interests.
  10. Apologies, I should have been clearer. I was referring specifically to o-line. Super common now. Here's another recent example: It's a real "old man yells at cloud" moment for me, but I cannot stand this trend. Smelling your own finger has certain connotations and I'm not sure what they have to do with football.
  11. Holy shit that is grim. They are going to get steamrolled next season.
  12. I get what you're saying as it relates to artists, scientists, etc., but is this true with athletes? Football requires a different skill set than other professions, and it seems like there would be a strong correlation between fastidiousness and success. Being a "freak" (or whatever is the athletic version of a "genius") is necessary to play pro ball, but it isn't sufficient. You also have to put in a ton of time, effort, and attention to detail.
  13. Meyer is a petty bastard and it's no secret the media likes to hype/dump Texas for attention.
  14. Honestly, Meyer needs to fuck off. I think he's still salty about how we treated Herman. Him and the media want to hype Texas up to an impossible degree so they can shit all over us for falling short of the ridiculous standards they set.
  15. I still can't believe Hays played FBS football anywhere. Kid was skinny as a rake his whole life. But yeah, the whole family and extended family are lovely. I was more joking around than anything - I remember my dad used to give Randy a hard time about handing the ball to Earl and getting out of the way.
