  1. In general I agree that polls are silly and biased and the voters are often lazy, and preseason/early season polls are the worst. But if we're going to say that the team that just beat Michigan has proven more and is better than Texas, then what is Ohio State's claim to #1? If Texas isn't all that, then Ohio State isn't, either. I understand you're not singling out Texas here and that's not the way I'm taking it, I'm just responding to the general gist of your post with the specific example of Texas. At some point we have to make assumptions about the quality of a team and during the preseason/early season, the majority of that necessarily comes from the performance the prior season, and the expectation of the current talent and coaching. Texas was demonstrably superior to OU last year. Texas was expected to be superior to OU this year. So far, a close road loss to the defending national champs and current #1 team, is the only reason to say that OU should be ranked ahead of Texas. But we saw these teams play last year, and it wasn't close.
  2. Answer coming... ...and the answer is, tourists.
  3. Eh, T12-T15 are the best parts.
  4. Texas defense is gonna fuck him up. He'll quit the game.
  5. You hate to see it .jpg
  6. I always take my G6 so I hadn't noticed. Perhaps someday I'll hire out a personal train to experience the trip. Just kidding. I stick my servants in the G6. I fly in the Bombardier Global 7500.
  7. It was Golden Fried Chicken even before that.
  8. For my kids in high school, it's almost always the first weekend of November when the flu/covid/whatever other respiratory virus is going around, hits. Like clockwork the past 4 years.
  9. Arch is gonna put 300 yards and 5 TDs on their asses and they're still going to say he sucks, just as they did with Chris Simms after he ran them multiple times.
  10. Yup, it felt almost brisk during my run. Not actually, but almost.

    I miss Shakey's Pizza Parlor on Airport.
  12. Yeah 2:30 is actually the worst for an August/September game, regardless of opponent. 11 AM slightly better. 7 PM (or later) is preferred.
  13. There are some on the press conference thread as usual. But, fair warning, they're not great, Bob.
  14. I think you're right. I know I'm definitely deflated, even now, 4 days post-loss. And it's going to be hard to reengage over the next several weeks of cupcakes plus the bye. It's pretty tough to get my mind and my heart past the 0-4 record against Ohio State and Georgia. It's just frustrating and demoralizing as fan. I realize it's silly but I feel like I'd probably be more excited if the final score had been something like 28-21 and with an offense that didn't just sputter so badly. Obviously that wouldn't be a positive for our defense, but there was just so much hopefulness from Texas fans surrounding Arch and the offense. And now, given the questionable playcalling and Arch's struggles and the ongoing redzone issues, it's just tough to feel much enthusiasm about the direction of the program. I'm sure I'll snap out of it, but staring down 3 cupcakes and a bye isn't going to move me past the malaise very quickly.
  15. This sentence no verb.
  16. Vampires are lame. I'd much rather be a minotaur.
  17. Yeah I think people saying he might be injured are saying it because he just looked so totally different from how we've seen him in the past. Especially that odd sidearm delivery.
  18. Nicole thanks you for your support.
  19. The ags were actually right about something-- Texas really did ruin the SEC.

    Wow yet another option in the already abundant Burnet/Crestview/Allandale area. I'd never heard of it. Looks good, I'll have to try it out.
  21. Drank 4 straight Ayinger Oktoberfests yesterday afternoon to drown my sorrows after that craptacular game. It's so good. Still the best of the bunch.
  22. I haven't read this whole thread and don't know if it's been mentioned, so sorry if it's already been discussed... My wife who is a physical therapist and paid no attention to the game yesterday, watched some of the highlights (lowlights) with me today, especially a bit that was "every Arch Manning pass attempt." She asked, "What did they say about his shoulder injury?" I said, "Nothing, why?" And she said, "when he's throwing sidearm it looks like he's guarding against some kind of injury. And in a lot of cases he looks like he doesn't have much power on the ball, is that normal for him?" In retrospect that would explain a lot. I obviously hope it's not the case.
