  1. Holy fucking shit, this site's user base would be 99% banned lol
  2. That giant has been sleeping so long, he's in a coma
  3. Wow, women's basketball on the CW! GET HYPED!
  4. As said repeatedly, Texas has 12 returning starters and a lot of others who have played significant time for a team who went on the road to the Big House against the defending champs and beat them last year. Big road games aren't something Sark has issues with
  5. Nebraska ain't gonna schedule us, let's be honest. They cancelled Tennessee, why would they schedule an actual elite team? OU is the safer bet, unless they just want a patsy like Arky, MSST, Vanderbilt (post-Pavia), Auburn instead
  6. Yep, I want any future Longhorn to do well in the league. Texas hasn't had a lot of big time QB success in the league, honestly. Colt was career backup with 36 starts, VY was run out of the league by Fisher, Sam is a backup, Shane got cut, Simms started 16 games... Hey, Gilbert has a super bowl ring as a backup lol
  7. it *should* be OU, due to the historic nature of that rivarly But we do have a 2 year gap without a marquee OOC opponent after Ohio State/Michigan/ND
  8. Feature doesn't work on Apple TV....
  9. We asked Hawley about his inspiration for the creature and the sequence. “It’s one of the more disturbing things you’ll watch all year, I think,” he says of the sheep attack. “Every 5 percent improvement in visual effects made that sequence a 100 percent ‘worse’ in terms of its effectiveness — and by ‘worse,’ I mean better. I told director Ugla Hauksdóttir in London, ‘For me, the fact that you got the live sheep to back away from the camera [in seeming fear of The Eye], that made the whole sequence right. Because if that had been a CG sheep, there’s something about sheep — being like — us going ‘uh-huh!’ and backing away from camera really sold the gag.” “To me, there’s a relentlessness to this that is similar to the face hugger,” he says. “Certainly in James Cameron’s movie [Aliens] where Ripley [Sigourney Weaver] and Newt [Rebecca Jorden] are trying to get away from these things, and they just keep coming, and they’re fast, and they’re scrambling, and they’re spider like a crab. [The suckers] was a really great upgrade for the original conceit where before, it just had to run as fast as it could at you. Now it can fly. And here in Austin, we have the Palmetto bugs fly. A giant roach that flies is always worse than a giant roach that doesn’t. So the fact that it can propel itself, that it can stick to you, and you’re basically trying to fight it off, and it has all these arms and it’s relentlessly trying to get in.” https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/alien-earth-noah-hawley-eye-sheep-1236352958/
  10. Yeah, history says they lose, but also, it would be hilarious for them to win, momentarily take him off the hot seat and then lose to UF, Ole Miss and South Carolina in 3 of 4 weeks.
  11. Super underrated cookie
  12. It had to be intentional, because Noah Hawley wouldn’t miss that. I guessing he’s not the genius he’s made out to be
  13. Didn’t Nebraska just cancel a home and home with Tennessee? They must be trying to get MSST or Vanderbilt instead
  14. Also Boy Genius ain't as smart as he thinks he is, because he misquoted Clarke's Third Law as Asimov re: magic and technology

    Andor

    Turns out there was a small amount of "fuck this current timeline" in the Andor writing for season 2 The speech for Mothma was written at the end of 2020/early 2021 https://deadline.com/2025/08/andor-writer-explains-mon-mothma-senate-speech-1236498910/ “When I’m writing that speech, I’m pissed off. I’m pissed off right now,” said Gilroy during the recent Sublime Primetime Drama Panel at the Writers Guild in Los Angeles. “What this character has seen through the course of the show is her senate colleagues abandoning everything they believe out of expediency and cowardice and leaving their constituents to pure evil, to an emperor who used to be a politician. So as I’m writing the speech, which is really the climax of that episode, I’m also deeply aware … of what was going on in our world at that time. I’m watching Senators being held to a standard of things of what they [said they once] believed in, and then utterly abandon them out of expediency and cowardice.”
  16. Maryland fans must be confused and think Herman is still coaching FAU and its a guaranteed win
  17. Yeah because mean old Texas forced them to vote for it!
  18. Great to land visits, but it would be a lot cooler if Miller lands some of these guys.
  19. IF, and I said IF, Texas wins on Saturday, what other programs can boast 3 non-conf wins at Bama, at Michigan and at Ohio State in 3 years, with the latter 2 being over the defending champs?
  20. Yeah, India is being punished for helping Russia by buying their oil and financing their war with Ukraine. You'd think they'd be rewarded for helping our president's butt buddy
  21. aggy wins 50-48 "not a huge indictment on the aggy defense" "still have a defense that can contend in the SEC" "Wow, this offense is elite!" (UTSA was 71st in defense a year ago)
  22. They are soooooooooooooooo desperate to be right by being contrarian, and then if/when they are wrong, crickets.
