  1. The one thing that truly pissed me off was when the camera panned to Ewers before we even knew we had even a slight chance to win, he was over there talking and smiling and chewing sunflower seeds. I don't know about y'all, but I would like my QB to sit there and figure out what he's doing wrong, not chillaxing and cutting it up knowing (at the time) you were going to lose. I want a QB who's pissed that he's losing a CFP game that took a lot of work from everyone on the team, only for him to sit the r and smile.
  2. Why wouldn't you want to contend next year? We're going to be a preseason top 8 team if Ewers returns. Fuck this "take your lumps." Go add a couple more portal players and try to win a national title. We were 1 play away from playing for a title this year with Ewers.
  3. Are we losing our 4 year starter at QB? Sweet Christ, calm the fuck down. We were only reasonably in line to win the Big 12. This was a fantastic season and we’re actually ready to go into the SEC with a decent schedule.
  4. Difficult to see it go down that way in the end. Horns had no business getting the 4 chances at the end. With all the penalties. 10+ passing bombs by Penis. Conservative play calls until down by 2 touchdowns and on and on. Washington player injury giving 45 seconds versus maybe 15? The play calling was not to lose instead of let it rip how the game was called against Bama. If the miracle did occur we would all know we would’ve won with an asterisk watching the actual game. I would’ve loved to see the win mostly because I’d love to get a chance at that asshat Harbaugh but Washington was the better team tonight. Their guys wanted it more. The season was more successful than anyone could’ve predicted so kudos to the horns. We just had to run into an Alpha in Penix which has always been longhorn kryptonite. Ewers is not the dark knight yet hopefully he gets there if he stays.
  5. Just got back to hotel. I am not reading the rest of this thread. We lost because….. - We put it on ground twice. We do it just once and we win, I think. - Sark thought he had possessions to fuck around on in first half. Then he shat bed once we had chance to win at end. - Sweat was held throughout the game with no calls. Absolutely infuriating. We were never stopping that passing game. But we could have kept it away from them more effectively. they are going to smoke Michigan.
  6. It sucks losing this one, but everything is on an upward trend in Austin. We really did defy most of the so called experts and got to this stage. We should take some inspiration from Michigan and see how they bounced back this playoff after being humiliated by fricking TCU last year. That didn’t happen to us. We should be back in the expanded playoff next season. We will have a favorable first SEC season schedule. We will have an excellent chance to go into Ana Arbor and get a signature win early.
  7. I haven't taken part in any of this thread - I just want to say I was proud as hell of this team. Yeah losing sucks, but we fought like hell and had a chance to win in a game that for all intents and purposes we had no business even being in as shitty as we played. From what I see from this staff, we have a very bright future. I hope the players and coaches build on this and go further. This will hurt, but Hook'Em.
  8. Washing is a great team this year with a 6th year (should have won the Heisman) experienced and talented QB and very good HC. So good he told aggy to fuck off and they let everyone know they offered. We are making sloppy penalties and we miss Brooks obviously. We can’t get pressure on Penix so try and pick him off instead. Ewers also picked a heck of a game to be below average. Hell of a time to have a QE growing pains game. Settle for trying to Penix off. He throws at least 1-3 a game. Try and capitalize. Pick him off. Not complaining as I am on vacation in Florida. Having a blast. The game notwithstanding. Also everyone go gave me shit about Washington not being good or a pretender and or not better than Oregon….you were all wrong. They are good. If they win they will beat Michigan. I hope we can employ a different strategy and stop making so many errors.
  9. No we aren’t dude. Washington D is baby shit soft the refs have assisted every Washington scoring drive with absolute bulkshit our DL is going to feast and we are going to win by 10
  10. This is going to be like the 2005 NC game. Their offense has 3 first round picks on it including the QB and will be too tough to keep down all game. Need to get stops when we need them but our offense has to win the game. Their defense has a couple of great dudes but overall way outmatched against us.
  11. Look at the map of counties with the most bizarre liquor laws. Look at the distributor/wholesaler system. Look at the where, per capita, more lottery/scratchoffs are sold, where per capita the tobacco taxes are collected most. They are run by stupid people elected by other stupid people to keep stupid laws in effect under the guise of "well, 'least we ain't those damn commies in the big city!" It's almost not even fair how easy it is to keep these people in line. All we gotta do is throw 'em a bone every now and again thinking they're morally and ethnically superior. Oklahoma, Louisiana, and New Mexico don't lobby to keep casino gambling in Texas illegal, stupids leading stupids do. Because Jesus and 'Murica and FREEDOMS! I could put a billboard on each of those 3 state borders leaving Texas tomorrow saying, "Go to XYZ casino tonight and return back to Jesus' Texas tomorrow!" and I'd win with 65% of the vote.
  12. Let’s fucking go. I’m tired of the disrespect our program has gotten. Let’s show these assholes the blue blood Texas is. Fuck around and find out. We’re about to make college football our bitch once we win this championship.
  13. Caffey was an All American for Nebraska. Bergmark was one of the best middle blockers in the Pac 12. Deandre Pierce was a starter for a very good Georgia Tech team the next year. Parra practically won Big 12 player of the year with TCU. Ewert is playing better as a professional than SKT, who was rated as the best setter in the country by some sources her last year at Utah, and in my opinion was severely underrated as a setter at Texas. O'Neal was the best player in the country not named Skinner this past year, with arguably the most historic serving run in volleyball championship history - as a middle blocker! She's the school record holder in blocks and one of the best slide attackers in college volleyball ever. Halter is going to go down as a legend, IMO, and that year was her true freshman season. Akana was a celebrated server/DS for Nebraska who took over the same role at Texas, going on fire from the service line in the tournament including the match point ace versus Louisville. Kahahawai has been a national team member for u19 and u21 for years, winning a gold medal as a starter last summer. Molly Phillips is another all American who during her career won two national championships and made another final as a starter. The roster was unbelievable in 2022. I never thought we'd see the like again. But who knows? Maybe 2024 we have something similar. Lauenstein, Rutherford, and Carlson are unbelievable roster additions. If Kahahawai decides to stay and keeps improving, and we see something from Helmers, Bunton, Singletary, Ames, and Byrd, this roster is going to be crazy from top to bottom. Their toughest opponent will be the 2nd team, just like it was in 2022. But getting back to Skinner, it's one thing to go from a relatively underrecruited talent to an All American. That's not what she did. I'm just saying that happens pretty regularly. That's very impressive for sure. It's an entirely different dynamic to go from an All American, to head and shoulders the best player in the country. Everyone notices her crazy elevation at the pin and basically her being indefensible from the back row. But her defense has improved so much this year. And that serve! Honestly, I think her serve might be better than Eggleston's. Because of O'Neal versus Nebraska, we tend to forget a little bit about Skinner's run against the Badgers! She just keeps improving every match, every week, so so much. The amount of time she has to be putting into her game must be insane. I know she's still not the best passer in the NCAA. Elliott even took her out of serve receive completely a few times this year when she was getting picked on. Just stood Halter right next to her and basically had her lined up practically at the sideline of the court. But I bet she's good next year. She just works so hard. I don't remember her being a weakness in the final four, that's for sure. Especially compared to her counterparts Franklin and Murray. But defensively she's really good! She saves a lot of hard hit shots, never gives up, and plenty of her digs put us in a great place in transition. She's an asset back there outside of serve receive. I can't wait to see what she does in 2024. To me having her come back is just as unfair to the rest of volleyball as having O'Neal return this year was. She's a cheat mode, for sure.
  14. Might as well get this going. Texas returns just about everyone from last year's team and adds three standouts in transfer sophomore Jonah Braswell (younger brother of Micah Braswell), freshman Timo Legout, and freshman Gilles-Arnaud Bailly (younger brother of Pierre-Yves Bailly. The biggest announcement over the offseason was when Eliot Spizzirri announced he would come back to Texas for one final ride, with goals of winning a national championship. Make no mistake, its national championship or bust this season for all of these returning players. Despite last year's team earning the #1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament, the team fell short at the hands of a red-hot Virginia team in the semi-finals. Texas will have a chance to avenge that loss and get a good idea of just how good they are when they face Virginia in Austin on January 18th. Texas boasts a roster of 14 players this season, which is well above the average of ~10 they usually have, but at the end of the day only 6 players can make the singles lineup each match. Below are the 8 players who should be getting the primary playing time in either singles or doubles. 1. SR. Eliot Spizzirri 2. SR. Micah Braswell 3. JR. Pierre-Yves Bailly 4. SO. Jonah Braswell 5. SR. Siem Woldeab 6. SR. Cleeve Harper 7. FR. Timo Legout 8. FR. Gilles-Arnaud Bailly Coach Berque's biggest challenge this season will be roster management and figuring out which 6 players to put in singles and doubles on a match to match basis. Because of our talent and depth, Berque can decide to play a few players in doubles only to keep the singles players fresh for their match. Texas can theoretically play 2 pairs of brothers in the doubles lineup, which hasn't happened before at Texas that I'm aware of. We'll see if Berque decides to go that route or split them up. All depends on their on-court chemistry. Overall, I believe this is the most talented roster Texas mens tennis has ever had, and hypothetically if matches were a best of 9 points (8 singles and 1 doubles point), then Texas would waltz their way to a championship. Reality is that tennis matches are a best of 7 points (6 singles points and 1 doubles point), so we are still vulnerable to losing if a few players are having an off day. I'm excited to find out what this team can accomplish!
  15. He wasn't throwing deep he was throwing an out to the receiver and when Dak saw it covered and the rush closing ok he smartly threw it out of bounds to avoid a turnover. I don't mind throwing there because first down and you win but would rather something with a higher chance of completion. Problem is the defense is playing run so all the defenders are up tight on the line. It's a rough situation that makes throwing short high completion safe passes difficult if not impossible. Exactly. It wasn't the refs invented a tripping call. There was a trip they inexplicably called it on the wrong team. Instead of being 15 yds back forcing the Cowboys into a FG to go up 7 it would have been first down at the 14. Chances are it doesn't come down to any 2 pt tries at the end of the game. Biggest fuck ups to me are: 1) refs. Blew this call in a horrific manner then blew the call at the end of the game on the 2 pt try. Just fucked it all up all the way around. 2) Campbell. After being gifted the botched tripping call he goes ape shit and forgets to coach his team after the 2 pt penalty was called. Kick the extra point and go into overtime is the only reasonable play there. He let himself get so worked up he forgot to coach the next play. 3) Dan Quinn. How many times do we have to see a coordinator fuck up and change what they're doing in the last 2 minutes when their defense has held an offense in check for almost the entirety of the previous 58 minutes? Play soft, give the offense all sorts of confidence and rhythm throwing it down the field in 1 minute, and then you can't stop them in the red zone. PK did that dumb shit and it bit us against OU. Quinn does it all the time in this situation and it cost the Cowboys the game against Miami on Christmas Eve. Stop fucking doing that. Play your defense like normal and get after the fucker.
  16. Scott Gerlach*, who I really respect, was on EGAT podcast and said something similar to CFBnerds. I think he said his gut feeling is 40% chance comfortable win for Texas, 60% chance it's a cointoss/anyone could win game. Given the injuries that both teams have faced this year, I think you have to assume the teams that show up tomorrow are the UW that beat Oregon x 2 and the Texas that beat Bama and Okie State. At the same time, I think you have to discount all four of those performances a bit. Okie State was a great matchup for Texas, and Bama was a game where most everything went Texas' way (plus, I think Bama trusted its secondary more than UW will, leaving a few key easier reads for Ewers) And Oregon probably would have won both games if they had a better gameplan/in game adjustments. So you still have some pretty big unknowns. I think the big x-factors/unknowns are- 1) Texas defensive coaching staff vs UW's excellent offensive coaching staff. UW's coaching staff was the clear edge against Oregon, and I can't find the quote, but DeBoer said as much after the P12 championship game. I think this is the main issue when UW has the ball: UW can't just throw deep every play, and they know they can't just line up and run the ball. I think a lot rests on the Texas LBers to shore up the run-alternatives in the short/screen game. I'm sure the UW coaching staff spent a lot of time trying to scheme up a run/short passing game using motion/redirection/shifts to get the right matchups and leverage against the Texas edge/slot DB and LB. UW did an excellent job last year (against a different Texas lineup), and it was a huge factor in the outcome. If the UW RB are breaking tackles tomorrow, it's partly because they are good players and partly because their OC did a great job in getting them matchups and angles. (Of course some of this depends on the Texas gameplan and how Texas adjusts over the course of the game). Frankly, not knowing much, I'd probably do what Texas did last year and devote less resources to the short game and hope for the best (at least as my "base" strategy). 2) Will the athleticism and size of Texas make a significant difference in the game? This especially relates to #1. If UW goes with what worked in the pac 12 this season (or what worked in the Alamo bowl), it may not work in the Sugar Bowl, because the leverage that works against smaller, slower teams may not work against this Texas team. It's what Oregon always discovers when they play better teams. I don't think it's a matter of being pac12 soft. UW is a very physical, scrappy bunch on both sides of the ball. It's more about team speed (and size) of the opposing defense. If Texas' athleticism allows it to handle short/underneath stuff with fewer resources (using some dime, dropping nickle into coverage etc) because the solutions that worked for UW all year don't work against Texas, it will allow Texas to devote extra resources to the pass at low cost. Similarly, how will the depth and quality of the Texas DL factor into this game? I think you can put this into 3 categories: 1) it won't matter; UW will move the pocket, get the ball out quickly, and scheme the run game away from the interior DL. 2) it will matter indirectly. The UT DL won't dominate in a way you can see, but their efforts will severely limit what plays UW can run successfully; UW will be running a limited playbook, which will allow Texas to devote extra resources to the plays UW can run. 3) massive pressure up the middle all game. And we all know Penix is a different QB if you can get pressure with 4. The extremes of 3 and 1 are not super likely, but 1 is more likely early in the game and 3 is more likely toward the end of the game, imo, given Texas' depth. But we don't really know how this is going to play out because UW didn't play UCLA this year, and a lot of this depends on flow of the game, who scores early, etc. 3) Will the opposing DC be able to frustrate Ewers or Penix? Each QB has enough weapons that if you give them time and clear pictures, they will pick you apart. 4) How improved is Texas run blocking, actually? If the OL has turned a corner and can open holes, this is going to be big. If they revert to the mean, it's a lot tougher for ewers. Of course the game comes down to execution, and what we will all see is the great moments of execution and/or failure of execution. But what makes this matchup interesting to me is - the gameplan and question marks are going to make it somewhere between really easy to execute or hard for the teams to execute. I think Scott and CFBnerds are guessing that the athleticism of Texas is just going to make it hard for UW to execute. I think that is probably true, but UW's staff is excellent. And it's just a matter of how much they can neutralize Texas' advantages. Plus, the scary thing about UW is even if you play them right, they can still make explosive plays, because their QB and skill players execute at such a high level. *used to post on Barkingcarnival as Longhornscott https://www.barkingcarnival.com/2012/10/12/3492630/longhornscott-west-virginia-video-breakdown
  17. If any team ever had motivation to go out and prove it on the field, it was them. The fact that so many players opted out means one of three things: 1 - they knew they couldn't win without their hurt QB. Or even with him. 2 - they didn't give a shit to prove the committee was wrong to leave them out. 3 - both of the above and they're a team of bleeding pussies. What was all the soapboxing about "if we're the last undefeated, we should be the champs" if most of the starters weren't even going to try? They would have been better off just rejecting the bowl bid and ending the season undefeated. Then they could at least (wrongly) proclaim they should have a share of the title - and probably would have gotten some votes.
  18. I just occassionally go back to those days and bookmark I collected all of these in a few minutes of that glorious day in Jan 2006 links in chronological otder.

  19. Fuck them. We were going to win with 23 seconds anyway. Stop being pussies. So many times the “controversy” has gone the other way. Fuck them.
  20. You didn’t read what I said. OF COURSE THEY HAVE NO CLAIM TO A TITLE. Jesus Christ. but instead of recognizing their opportunity they acted like bitches from the moment they were left out until they let Georgia hang 63. No self respect. If the shoe were on the other foot and it was Texas left out, undefeated, I for DAMN sure would want my university not to bitch and whine but to say we are going to show up, play hard and hang the fucking banner if we win. no team left out can claim a title if they don’t win every single game. None. FSU should drop to 10+ for their sour grapes waste of a bowl game. Fuck em. FUCK ‘EM
  21. Bud Elliott and Kanell are going to be fun on Tuesday if Texas and Bama win. It'll be a lot of well we were right at the time. Undefeated Power 5 champion, blah, blah, blah. Team was crushed they didn't make the playoffs. The committee did this to them not Georgia.
  22. Love michigan at my very core but fucking bama gone bama. Cyborg Saban has had a hard on for michigan since his MSU days. We have a good shot to win but JJ is going to have to play perfect and we are going to have to keep the running qb stopped.
