  1. Seeing reports Fitzgerald has been fired.

    F cancer.

    Man, I'm sorry to hear this.
  3. I had no idea Ibraheem was still associated with the program.
  4. A little perspective here. Was Quinn perfect? No. But - if you expected him to be, you haven't been watching much football this year. When it became clear we could not run, we had to put the offense on him. He went 31/47 for 369. He threw the ball away when he had to. He did not turn the ball over. Worthy had three straight-out drops. 1) the one down the middle in the 4th quarter 2) the little slant that hit him right in the chest, and 3) the long one down the left boundary. There was also one occasion where he absolutely failed to track a potentially catchable ball. Whittington had a drop on 3rd down. Add in those 4 "should have beens" (yeah, I know...), and you get a stat line of 35/47 for approaching-Texas-bowl-game-record yardage. Had you been told at the start of the year that your freshman QB would, in his bowl game, go 35/47 for over 400 yards, would you have said: 1) That guy sucks. or 2) That's a pretty good effort. I still think Ewers is going to be good, maybe not great, but certainly good enough. Putting a loss like this on him is just silly.
  5. Under no circumstances would I throw another ball to Worthy. Maybe ever.
  6. I saw your uncle play MANY times at the Continental and other places. He was a fine bass player - always enjoyed his music.

    Hudson Card

    Card has earned my respect by going out and competing to the best of his ability when he was called upon, even when injured. That's enough for me. Sometimes things don't work out, but I wish him nothing but the best as he moves on.
  8. I should have seen this one coming. I've had a persistent cough for the last couple of weeks, and have been prone to coughing fits that go on for several seconds. Here I am today, standing in the bathroom taking a leak, when a coughing fit hits. You know the rest.
  9. I keep thinking this game may be very important to Sarkisian's tenure on the 40. Has any Horns head coach lost to Kansas twice in football? Certainly not in back-to-back years, I wouldn't think. Since Kansas is fairly new to the schedule, let's equate them with Rice and ask the same question: has any coach lost in back-to-back years to bottom feeders?
  10. KSU, 31-20. KSU total plays: 63 KSU long: 31
  11. They just ran out of time. Again.
  12. OSU 31, UT 27 24 - 286
  13. I'm thinking 3-2. Should probably be 4-1, but I think we'll find a way to lose a game we should probably win.
  14. My God, these announcers are an absolute beating.
  15. Have you seen their dogshit schedule? The only good team they play the rest of the way is Ole Miss. I'll count that one as an L. They SHOULD win all the others, unless they find a way to aggy it up against LSU. So, worst case, they go 7-5. Best case, 8-4. Pretty mediocre.
  16. Texas 31 Cyclones 24 37 - 139
  17. Not yet. I'm confident she's saving it for when she needs it.
  18. Texas 37 Gooners 24 Worthy+Bijan = 184
  19. I have to buy a new microwave. Mrs. Mudcat killed it. I didn't know that was possible. Turns out, it is. The Mrs. was going to heat up something for 1 minute. She wrapped it in a paper towel and started the microwave, walked away and started watching TV. A few minutes later, from my office, I think "hmmm....I smell something burning. She's probably burning the toast and will figure it out." A few minutes after that, I'm thinking "something's on FIRE!" I walk out of my office, and smoke is pouring out of the microwave. Smell is overwhelming. I go to stop the microwave and see that there are 11 minutes and 53 seconds left in the cooking time. Uh oh. Open the microwave, and the PAPER TOWEL IS FULLY ON FIRE. Substance in which it is wrapped is no longer identifiable. She never smelled a thing. The microwave still stinks and part of the ceramic coating (?) on the inside is flaking off. It's done.
  20. From the midst of another interminable conference call, FIGHT!
  21. WVU 47, Texas 31. 153 yards from the RB room.
  22. We probably shouldn’t be favored against air. The first four games tell us we have no idea what to expect from this team on a given week.
  23. I drank no Kool aid before the season. I was in full “show me” mode. First game against an inferior opponent we looked good. We competed hard and played well against Alabama. Then we nearly shit the bed against UTSA. Followed that up by actually shitting the bed against Tech. I have enough data now. This team is exactly what it has been - mediocre. I’ll watch the games if it’s convenient and if I have nothing better to do. I’ve been a Horns fan for 60 years, so it’s painful to have gotten to this point. I have tickets to more games, and I’m planning to go, but if something comes up, I may not. I really don’t like being apathetic, but here we are.
  24. Texas 31-10. 177 WR yards.
  25. I usually only read the football board, but I popped in here today. Good Lord, this is absolutely glorious.
