Sailor Joes thoughts again: When Winning Isn’t Enough Anymore
This is correct but is far too rational, analytical, and thorough for the message board yahoos that unfortunately dominate and drown the world in simplistic hot takes.

CDC comments on Colin Simmons, Raleek Brown celebrations
And thank goodness there are still some people left in the world in places of authority with enough gumption and pride for our institution to feel shame and remorse for when people don't live up to the standard and expectations.

CDC comments on Colin Simmons, Raleek Brown celebrations
Coach Erwin nailed it on lunch with the coach. This type of conduct reveals a fundamental lack of discipline that if not addressed, will lead to us not achieving our goals for this team such that even the 5.5 sacks won't make up for it. Beyond that, treating it as being about just a 15yard penalty when it was a fundamentally wrong, indecent, and disrespectful action is an exercise in missing the point.

Tennessee prediction thread -- guess and you win!
34-24 Texas in a nail-biter. I live in TN and will not be able to put up with all the fake UT razing if we lose!!

Our fans
100%. I'm not saying the fans were right or that Sark should listen to them. OP mentioned the players might be too fragile to handle the boos. And although I was rolling my eyes at with my brother and think it is dumb to boo your own team in general, I am just saying Sark won't let it get to them and will make sure the players know it's because the fans have high expectations/they need to play better. Most fans stayed and cheered their heads off (still don't have my voice); the boos won't get them down.

Our fans
I wouldn't do it and don't think it is a good idea, but I think it was easy to see people were booing flat passes/bubble screens that mostly weren't working. That's about Sark's play calls. I think Sark knows the standard is the standard, he mentioned he heard it, and he was a man about it. I imagine he can coach the guys through it, too.

Kool-Aid
Kool aid I'm drinking is that the synergy of marginal improvement of arch, across the board upgrades of RBs (despite Tre still being number 1 in my heart), marginal improvement of Wingo, massive upgrade of Coleman, health of Mosley/sub of Bishop, marginal improvement of OL, transition to Muschamp style with more frequent defensive 3-and-outs leading to more offensive opportunities (rather than PK's bend not break style, which had its virtues, but often led to bad teams having lots of time of possession) leads to massive offensive improvement overall. The other Kool aid I'm drinking is that Lane desperately going for NFL guys is him low-key telling us his current team sucks and after their season goes downhill early, we hang a massive victory on him, leading to end of game Death valley death boos.

Is this motivation for Colin and Texas
Based on Colin's full answer, he misunderstood the question and thought goosebumps means butterflies.

An unlikely NFL Longhorn, offensive line development under Kyle Flood and a lingering baseball issue
It's a really bad joke and you make the OTF experience worse by keeping it up; as someone who mostly lurks and doesn't comment often, that's my 2¢. Bobby talked about making this message board different than others based on the level of thoughtful discussion. Your Flood bit does the opposite. If you think flood is not good, fine, that's your right--I'm not telling you to not share your opinion ever and in the right moment. But spamming every thread with the same trollish comments about flood (as opposed to about gerry, which is funny 🤣) devalues the message board experience and makes me want to delete my account to just listen to YT.

Sorsby retains attorney
(mostly) not because he's at Tech, I hope he loses the buyout lawsuit with Cincinnati and is forced to pay, cannot reach a settlement on suspension, and the NFL turns him down. There must be consequences in life to deter people from doing dumb things. And hiring Kessler is stupid. There is no antitrust agreement not to compete issue here like with capping athlete compensation. And even if there were, there is an obvious pro-competitive justification for the NCAA enforcing it's anti-gambling rules.

Cincinnati suing Brendon Sorsby
If they have factored it in, why isn't it paid? Forcing Cincy to take them to court over this is bananas.

Give Us Your Thoughts!
Whoever OTF's lawyer is is giving you bad advice on this issue, as long as the clips are brief, don't essentially create a mini-game or summary highlight reel, and you transform them with your overlay commentary -- that's classic fair use. In addition, the All-22 presumably doesn't have trademark issues b/c won't have, for example, ESPN's marks all over it.

CFP National Championship Game (Indiana vs Miami)
Haha, nice! My Texas gear is a Texas hoodie that I wear every year to the CFP in honor of the hope I have for next year (my sister-in-law works for CFP on the logistics sides so we always get tickets regardless of who is in the game)

Don't worry gentlemen, I'm here on the field recruiting our next left guard, wearing Texas gear no less

Caleb Williams is amazing.
The tradition isn't dumb per se, but at least before I cancelled and moved here, the way it used to be enforced and taught was needlessly pugilistic, which in my view was mostly an offshoot of that generally being the culture of that board anyway.

Two ways Cam Coleman immediately makes the Texas offense better
Totally agree. The corollary to Jeff's analysis here is that, as a result, when/if Coleman gets doubled, Wingo and Mosely's strengths amplify. And if Wingo and Mosely are keeping defenders outside the box, to cover glance routes, mesh routes, bubble screen threats, slants, etc, Brown, Smothers, and Niblett have favorable numbers for an actual, consistent running game. And then, of course, defenses at least have to respect Arch keeping it on a read option or backside bootleg. Long and short, if our incumbent OL can stay healthy and make modest improvements and we actually get a few more dudes, we should be cooking with gas...

Are we about to waste this upcoming year?
This is so obviously trolling from someone who joined last Thursday. Should be banned and kicked off.
