  1. Agreed that it looks like a recipe for a comfortable win, and agree with the individual points ... or at least that things LOOKED like that from the comfort of my living room. But even large-screen, high-def views don't tell any of us the complete picture of what's going on down there. "Could have" is probably more accurate than "should have" in the end. Because it could have gone the other way. "Should have" is the attitude you want your team to have going into every game, but the bottom line is that we're one of the few one-loss majors sitting in this position in a highly competitive field. We've hit on two of what used to be the big three games with spitfire opponents and the opportunity for number three coming up. I'm not complaining. Might have been griping mentally, even out loud, a little bit yesterday in the middle part of the game. But when it came down to it, the Horns took care of their business and the end of that game was a highly satisfactory exclamation point on a big win.
  2. Now, that's how you end one story and leave the audience heading to another board to look for the next one.
  3. Out of curiosity, I did a cursory Google search for the expression and the only thing I came up with ... my sincere apologies in advance to all ... was this: Thought about how I'd rewrite the it. Would probably be "kick 'em in the ass."
  4. Checking in for a second time today because I survived our contentious meeting of assholes, as previously mentioned (and during which I may have been the biggest asshole). Best part was it ending when a petite gal who's a Michigan grad, in response to our dean's question about how we found ourselves in the stupid spot we were in, looked at him and basically said, "It's because of you." She may be a Wolverine, but she was ... hell, a wolverine, and she would have fit in well at our great alma mater and been a fine Longhorn. TEXAS!
  5. Have to say I've never heard that one before. And I think I know why.
  6. Also drinking my first and only cup of coffee with sausage and maple streusel bread, sitting in my home office way too far north of y'all, prepping for a contentious meeting with some assholes, and looking forward to the resumption of this historic rivalry that I first witnessed a couple of years before Jeff Leiding popped that pig on the KO return. Maybe I'm misremembering, but I swear I heard it from the stands. Ready to give errbody some of that ...
  7. Looks like, but I don't think anyone definitively established the ties to either school. If I recall correctly he may have done grad school in South Carolina. But now, as part of the sleuthing efforts, I have been rewarded with ongoing Facebook suggestions that I friend him.
  8. Well done. The classic no-question-mark rhetorical question that's not meant for an answer, but answers itself anyway. In two ways, no less. Who knows.
  9. I had never seen this story on that game before. Holy crap, even Teaff admits it. https://baylorbears.com/news/2017/10/27/baylor_flashback_nov_21_1992.aspx I was at the game and sitting about 5 rows up near midfield among Baylor players' families. It was right in front of what I now recall was ruled as a non-recovery of a fumble that was clearly still inbounds. What that play was is a little fuzzy, but what's not is the very clear memory of call after call after call that went against us, including the spotting of the ball on Brown's run.
  10. First loss of the season is way easier to take in the expanded playoff era. It should even make the rest of the season much more interesting. But let it be the last. OU game my freshman year, way back. I was irrationally upset for more than a week, although it was probably worse because it was still only my second month with one leg and half my body out of my childhood home.
  11. If we're being honest, it's a hijack of a hijack, so a double negative. Technically not a hijack at all. Between the lines, though, and after seeing your earlier anti-bottle stance, I perceive a subtle message here. It's "Water bottles? Armybrat don't need no stinkin' water bottles." 😁
  12. That's because you've got Gus' sense of humor. I don't think Gus would ever refer to himself in the third person like you used to always do, at least as I recall ... but then again, I'm older than a Texas Ranger, so maybe I'm not remembering correctly.
  13. That's like saying all asses are the same. Your avatar puts the lie to that.
  14. Not sure about that. I think it's important to the majority of Texas fans, and I think a lot of other fans across the country admire the way Texas does business. Those fans aren't the loudmouths on the Finebaum Show. Taking the high road most of the time makes it easier for outsiders to nod their heads when you jump down into the ditch every now and then. Texas is Woodrow Call. The rest of the country is looking on like the townspeople in that scene.
  15. Texas 45 direct hits Vandy b-0-ttled up 317 passing
  16. Conflicted. I've always been part of the "We're Texas -- act like you've been here before" crowd. That was my first reaction. I also think Hartzell's letter is spot on. At the same time ... When the officials gathered and reversed the call, I felt a little something that surprised the hell out of me because I recognized that I'm not supposed to feel it. It was a good bit of pride and awe. Not excusing the behavior. Don't think it should happen again. But I feel what I feel. Texas Fight, baby.
  17. That would be the beginning of the end of Surly. Troll or not, the responses are part of our group therapy. At least for me, but in another hour it's beer-on-the-patio time, and I found some of this in our Yankee grocery store last week. I'll step away when I crack one open:
  18. We lost to OU my freshman year and I was irrationally disturbed about it for an entire week. I've finally reached the point of being able to move on from a bummer like last night with a hat tip to the winners where necessary. Not gonna let it ruin my Sunday afternoon happy-hour beers with my buddies. But the though of Kirby as a politician is another thing altogether. Might need some stronger stuff today.
  19. Here's the help you need, Humphead. Sorry about the meth problem.
  20. Say what you want about his dickheadedness, but Smart had that team fired up and Texas couldn't stop them in the first half. The Horns probably learned a good lesson for the next round ... and for next week. My take on his dickheadedness: Let he whose players are without multiple felonies and targeting ejections cast the first life-threatening plastic bottle.
  21. Bump
  22. Seems to be originally from Columbia, SC, and maybe attended grad school there. A few Facebook pics of him in A&M gear from what probably would have been his undergrad era. Looks like he also worked for a campus-centered Christian network if everything is accurate. But there's just enough to make it look convincing and not enough consistent, long-term record to make me fully buy in. So I'm leaning this way: 51 percent real, 49 percent troll. But 110 percent entertaining.
  23. I hadn't seen that either, so I finally followed up a little and looked him up on Facebook, too. Found this, but maybe someone also posted it as well. Sorry not sorry if anyone else has already seen it.
  24. I don't think we should use him as a decoy if we're going to be running our ducks offense.
  25. Just blocked a punt and returned it for a TD against A.H. Parker of Birmingham on ESPN2.
