  1. Yeah, you’re probably right. Thus are the woes at Texas, but it threw us into QB purgatory.
  2. I just overlooked it. Glad you’re perfect. I get busy. Just seems you have a lot of time to be a jerk. Takes nothing just to stay quiet. You’re obviously not from around here.
  3. I agree to disagree. You make a valid point, but a lot of QBs have thrown interceptions 1st year, see Peyton Manning, Colt McCoy or even VY. Especially since Mack (spellcheck) changed to an entirely new offense (mistake in my opinion and I thought so at the time). Don’t get me wrong, incredibly thankful for Mack and his service to the university, great man and leader of men, but that was an overreaction to losing to Alabama I think, and a mistake. And as far as Gilbert is concerned, I just feel like he could have been coached up into the new system and given a little more time. Mack is a good enough talker he could have sold it and kept his job. He was also one year removed from being in the national championship, he was safe. And Case and Ash were not better, see NFL career.
  4. Ok Mac. I know you’re offended, some people work and are in a hurry. Spell police again. Sheesh. People that have real jobs don’t have to worry about spelling too much on casual posting board, by the way. You might learn this when you get older.
  5. I think Mac gave up on Garrett Gilbert too early when the fanbase turned on him. Also, Mac got scared and changed the whole offense at the wrong time. Gilbert had spent a year learning West Coast and had to switch, then when he threw interceptions in a basically new offense, he was unfairly not coached up and through it. He ended up being an NFL QB in the end for a bit.
  6. Don’t mess with Texas. Literally, a motto. Why go there.
  7. Hope they tank. Go stros
  8. Man, I was hesitant to jump on the wagon this year, but I’m starting to believe (barring anymore injuries) we’ve got us a really good baseball team! I mean World Series good! Thought we would make progress this year, but still be a couple of years away. However, the pitching seems to be catching up to the hitting, and our lineup is having mature at bats against good pitching. Could be a special team. Hope we get all our starters back in time for a run.
  9. You think this is a stupid post? What a timely posting of the Simms interview of Sark. Watch that interview. Sark himself says character is what is different at Texas. And no, unless there is an immense change in his attitude, I do not think Texas would pursue Dakorian Moore in the portal if he entered. We recruit most commited players to the whistle, yet we backed off of him with his antics and the way he went about his commitment to Oregon. No one is tearing the kid down, happy with what we got instead, but his actions can be evaluated in a post. It points to the difference at Texas. And of course we wish him well, we shall see how it turns out up there in the Lanning experiment.
  10. Texas is back because of character. All of the haters that posted on this thread can’t deny that. They just are probably too young to understand what’s going on. You are right Boxing. It is an objective truth that the collective culture of Texas has made it successful again. Football is a team sport. Maybe you can win in different ways, but I’m glad we are choosing to win in this way. Being confident is one thing, being self absorbed is another. I hope every kid does well, but I hope they also learn to give of themselves to the team. It’s not about them, especially when they haven’t done sh$t. If he works hard that’s great, keep your head down and work hard! That’s what my coaches would have said. Want an example of how this can go? They said Zach Evans was a hard worker too. Glad we got Bijan. They said Micah Hudson was a hard worker, glad we got Wingo. Don’t worry about the hate Boxing, good post.
  11. This. It’s how I spend my pastime. Watching fire and listening to Townes or Robert Earl
  12. interstellar is legit on 620. A wait, but worth the experience. Free lone star while you wait in line, and just might meet someone interesting. That’s what Austin used to be about (born and raised), just talking to folks whether they were cowboys, hippies, owned a million dollar home on lake Austin, or homeless. Some people that have moved in don’t seem to understand that, to the point Austin seems to have changed. Sorry, don’t want to be that guy, but it’s true. Bonus: KG bbq also good. Turkish guy that wears a cowboy hat and slow smokes meats with a Turkish twist. And all the usuals, out of those I think Coopers is pretty consistent whether you go to llano (original) or eat it downtown.
  13. How NASCAR package did against the run, and can we deploy it in more situations?
  14. Basketball or football ?
  15. They will all fall off our board and commit to other places like the receivers have. Maybe we can get them back at the end like we did last year.
  16. Love how they can keep pace with great teams for several quarters then in just one or 2 quarters separate with consistent pressure and disciplined defense. Almost reminds me of some of Saban’s Alabama teams in football.
  17. Ryan Williams or Jeremiah Smith. Other than that we good. (And they ain’t coming) Don’t want to lose our future depth.
  18. And could Houston due to history and current status be considered in that top group?
  19. Maybe Xavier in there somewhere. They have been consistently pretty good like Creighton. (And we just stole their coach we can give them some love) 😂
  20. Might not be that hot of a take, but while Texas (or any SEC job) has more resources and leverage because of football money, some solely basketball schools (because of history and wins) are still better head coaching jobs than Texas.
  21. I don’t even think this is a homer take. Vince Young is the best college QB to ever play the game. He should be number one. He willed a team to a championship against a star studded team with 2 Heisman players and 28 NFL players that was probably one of the greatest dynasties ever in college football at its height.
  22. Was so hoping I wouldn’t have to root against her. Oh well. 🤷. She would have complemented with her 3 point shooting nicely. Now she can try and carry a whole team. So long
  23. To be fair, it’s innocent until proven guilty. He might just be bad a parking.
