2023 Texas @ Alabama - 6pm on ESPN
pretty close Baylor got a reversal on the same play vs Utah (changed to incomplete) Doubt we'll get this

Texas Agricultural & Mechanical at Miami - 2:30pm on ABC - “Dick Steppin Boogaloo”
Doesn't it feel that way for Miami too? They want to hype this as a huge preseason matchup, but it's probably 8-4 Aggies vs 6-6 Canes.

Texas Agricultural & Mechanical at Miami - 2:30pm on ABC - “Dick Steppin Boogaloo”
I bet on the Aggies once a decade or so. Today was that day. I just don't understand the Miami hype. In their last four games of 2022, they loss to Florida State, Clemson, and Pittsburgh by an average of around 5 touchdowns.

Utah at Baylor - 11am on ESPN
Pick-6 for the bad-beat cover?

Utah at Baylor - 11am on ESPN
Seems that way, right? Both "holds" were the kind of grabby-grabby that you *could* flag on every snap.

Utah at Baylor - 11am on ESPN
There is no fucking way you can look at that replay and say "indisputable."

Both QB seem like they suck

I don’t like DAC, but I gotta admit that is damn funny.

Rice at Texas - Game 1
I was at the game and haven't rewatched it... but I agree that the DB's looked salty. Guilbeau, Jordan, Muhammad and Barron - I seem to remember all of them being effective tacklers who were willing to attack receivers and running backs who were as big or bigger than them. I don't remember specific hits from Thompson/Catalon/Watts on Saturday, but in my opinion, the three guys have (to different degrees) already proven themselves. And yeah, it was just Rice. I get that.

Tceh suffers crushing 2OT defeat at Wyoming
For what it's worth, I am cool and reasonable in real life, and also (as witnessed in this thread) I could not be happier about the yapping Tech coach and their yapping bush-league commissioner falling on their fucking faces in week 1. Just so you know - there's gonna be years and years of "ha fucking ha ha" on this website when Baylor loses to Texas State or Tech loses to Wyoming. You can decide what purpose it serves for you to come type "Everything people say about you is true. You're really awful" when that happens.

The big 12 is total and utter garbage
BYU up 7-0 over Sam Houston State late in the 3rd quarter.

Very cool to bring that back. I think he used lots of different phasers, but the one that he's most associated with is the Maestro MP-1.- Songs from smaller bands that you like but might suck
Does this count? 24 minutes of low-fi songs. Also, catchy as shit.- Share Your Music (it probably sucks but that’s not why we do it)
This is fantastic, sidis. Just listened to it a few times. You may have missed your calling scoring cinema.- Music Podcasts
@G650 referenced this one in another thread (it made a lot of year-end "best of" lists): https://crooked.com/podcast-series/wind-of-change/ Recent Switched on Pop episode: https://switchedonpop.com/episodes/stacys-mom-adam-schlesinger-fountains-of-wayne- Share Your Music (it probably sucks but that’s not why we do it)
That was a pretty good podcast, right?- Tell me about Texas Tech
I wish I could rep your post 100 times, because it's full of facts and truth. Texas could have left the Big 12 at ****ANY POINT**** in the past 15 years. When this topic used to come up 15+ years ago, I was receptive to the idea of going Big 10 or Pac X. Those conferences felt like better cultural fits with Austin, and I wasn't crazy about competing with the bagmen of the yeehaw Deep South. Obviously, a lot has changed in the last 15 years, including NIL. I'm glad the alums like me who were looking Midwest or West Coast lost that argument. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I'm pretty sure the Texas/OU departures were announced within weeks of the new NIL rules. I don't think that's a coincidence. I mean, in the late-stage capitalism of the modern NCAA, why would Texas keep themselves yoked to schools who cannot pull their own weight in terms of revenue, why would Texas fill their home schedule with a bunch of schools that NO ONE (including our own season-ticket holders) gives a shit about, miss out on all the five-star recruits who want to play on the biggest stages, and subject themselves to endless fuckery from the openly "Anyone-But-Texas" administrators (like Yormark) who run the conference? There were ZERO reasons for us to slog on in this league.- Tell me about Texas Tech
I'm not sure which is better between CS and Lubbock, but I'm definitely never going to live in a shitty town whose biggest sales pitch is that "it's only 1.5 hours from (a good town)!" Are you gonna sit in your car for three hours just to eat at a nice restaurant or go to live music on a weeknight?- Tell me about Texas Tech
So the “de facto commissioner” comment came from a single writer in a city whose readers are decidedly hostile to Texas… and not from “Texas fans bragging,” which is what you claimed.- The 2023 Republican Debate thread
I referenced Kasich when talking about the debate last night… a guy who I fundamentally disagree with on most things, but it seems like he and I more or less live in the same reality. …but 2016 was a loooong time ago. Including Trump, 3 of their top 9 candidates are billionaires, and two of those are absolute sociopaths. Mike Pence is a bizarrely robotic freak who thinks he’ll get the nod if he can just say “Jesus” in every answer (might have worked back in the 1900’s). He wants the 10% of sane Republicans to remember the one day he behaved with honor, and he simultaneously wants the rest of them to remember his decade of enabling evil and treason. Desantis is a fascist in adorable high heeled kids’ boots who is trying to pull enough profoundly un-Jesuslike publicity stunts so that modern American Christians will get behind him. Hutchison and Burgum might be decent humans in real life (or not), but definitely both have checked their integrity at the door so as not to lose the deplorable wing of the party (it’s a huge fucking wing). There was an old Simpsons episode where the Kwik-e-mart gets robbed, and Homer hides. And after the burglar leaves, Apu calls out, “You may emerge from behind the chip display. The chance to be a hero is long passed.” That pretty much sums up Chris Christie. You’ve already shown us what you are, Bro’. We saw it. Tim Scott had his pre-prepared “Aw shucks, I’m just a folksy country boy” speech ready to go, but he launched into it right after the buzzer sounded, and then all of America had to suffer and impatiently squirm in their desks and wait for him to shut the fuck up already… like we were all in the third grade and it was the dumb kid’s turn to wrestle with reading aloud. Nikki = Ted Cruz.- Tell me about Texas Tech
Texas fans had a pretty good decade in the major 3 men's sports in the 00's, and pretty much - to a person - we felt that all happened *around* Deloss or *in spite of* Deloss. Credit for the UT success went to 1) a good university with highly-ranked academics and lots of money, 2) it's an easy city to recruit college kids to, and 3) occasionally credit went to the coach (e.g. Gus). Right or wrong, Deloss got 0.0% of the credit whenever a Texas team did well. If there had been a Parliament-style snap election with Texas fans, he'd have lost in a landslide. The Tech fans' version of history - including this bit where Texas fans boasted about Deloss - seems like more delusion than reality.- The 2023 Republican Debate thread
You posted "these neocons are just like democrat neocons" over and over again until you finally got the response you were trolling for, then you say "you seem triggered." Why not just start your own thread if you wanted to make that case? I mean, I think you're wrong, but I'm willing to hear your argument. If you think Ukraine by itself makes Biden (who ended a two-decade conflict in Afghanistan to his own political detriment) a "neocon," then pretty much all of Western Europe was "neocon" in response to Hitler in the 1940's, as was Soviet Russia, as is all of Western Europe in response to Putin.- The 2023 Republican Debate thread
To be fair, they talked a good long time about Biden and the radical Democrat cities were murdering full term babies. - The Guitar Pron Thread
