Godzilla: King of the Monsters
This times 1000. That first trailer with the preachy-ass "humans are a virus" crap was beyond terrible. I hope they re-cut the move and took all that out.

Annual AP All-American SEC Circle jerk
While it does feel like there are to many SEC players on the list, as far as Texas goes, I'm not sure we have anyone who _should_ be on the list. Sam had a nice year, as did Lil'Jordan, C. Johnson, and a few guys on D, but there wasn't really anyone this year that felt "All-American".

2018 Running / Triathlon Thread
I spent a lot of time a month or so back looking at running watches. There are a lot of good watches, so it really comes down to what features you want. For me, I decided that the features I needed were GPS tracking and bluetooth music. I don't carry my phone on my runs, so I need my watch to be the source of my music. For me, the winner was the "Garmin vivoactive 3M" watch and a pair of Jabra Elite Sport wireless earbuds. Very happy with both. As soon as I return home, the watch syncs with an app on the phone and I can see all type of details about the run: a map, pace, heart rate, elevation, stride, etc. It was interesting to see the elevation and pace together on the same graph. I found that as I go up a hill my pace slows as as expected, but when it levels off my pace wasn't picking back up for quite some time. Garmin did a good jobs on the software.

How do you get excited about hiring a coach who has a 3-31 record as a head coach?

So...about Charlie Strong at USF...
This has got to be the most bizzaro revisionist post I've seen in a long time. Mack brown went 101-16 over a nine year period from 2001 through 2009. That's a tad bit better than "along for the ride".

2018 Football Season Game Prediction Contest Game 13 - Big 12 CCG - OU Still Sucks
No idea what the hell will happen. A blowout either way wouldn't even surprise me. It's really hard to beat a team twice in a season. Texas 27 OU Sux 37

...other than winning Big 12 Freshman Offensive Player of the Year, and throwing for more than 2000 yards in about half the games, he totally didn't light the world on fire.

Let's rate the Alliance of American Football League jerseys
The rosters are heavily loaded with players from universities in the region of the teams. Still, I'm surprised (other than Garrett Gilbert) there is only one former longhorn on any of the rosters: Tristan Nickelson on the SA team. <Nerd>But by far, the coolest thing about the new league is that they have a 3 letter domain. aaf.com </Nerd>

MIA's thread of crock pot dominance
Throw some chicken breasts in the Crock Pot with this stuff and come back 5 hours later. The nice thing about this one is it has a cooking sauce and a separate finishing sauce for the last little while after you shred the meat. If you don't do that, you end up with something that's to-dry-to-eat. HEB has this when they are open.

Unless the "poor performance" involves a non football scandal, there is no possibility that lsu or Michigan open up next year. Going 9-3 and 10-2 buys you some goodwill.

LSU @ aggy
That was a damn entertaining game and one of the worst officiated games I can recall seeing. if you think the calls were all for Aggy, you're a moron. That was some equal opportunity BS.

Tulane @ Houston
They showed some clips of Oliver before the game. Jumping , running , catching, light on his feet bouncing around.... That dude isn't hurt. Good for Major taking a stand.

Ladies and Gentlemen.....THE ROLLING STONES!!
It's remarkable that they can still do it it their ages. I looked it up Watts is 77, Jagger is 75, Richards is 74, Wood is 71. Photos make it look like the years have not been kind to them. On the other hand McCartney is 76 and he put on a hell of a good show at ACL fest.

Matt Campbell to USC?
IF ISU were to beat us this weekend, they would most likely finish at 7-2 and tied for 2nd in the Big12. Depending if it's OU or WVU they're tied with, ISU could be in the Big 12 championship game. If that were to happen, and there's a lot of football left to play, Campbell would be as hot or hotter than Brohm. There's no way Campbell would replace Brohm at Purdue; he's going to get calls from the tier above Purdue. On the other hand, if Texas Kicks the crap out of ISU, the shine should come off a bit, and I think ISU has a real chance of bumping his salary and keeping him for a year or two. Edit - Someone a few post up just said that ISU just gave Campbell a nice pay raise....So If texas beats ISU and the 'top' spots aren't open for him, I think he stays.

JaMarcus Russell Voluntarily steals money from his volunteer coaching gig
Anybody who calls a QB with an NFL record of 31-19 a bust is just stupid.

2018 Football Season Game Prediction Contest Game 10 - Texas Tech
The problem is our Defense. It had problems when healthy, and now it's dinged up. No doubt that Tech is better with Bowman but the other guy is still going to throw the ball 50 times. Tech 42 Texas 40

Horns Down
Let's reset a bit. This video should start at 4:40 on the final 2pt conversion. Anyone who thinks extending the ball over the goal line on the final play should have been a penalty is either caught up in the heat of the moment or a moron. I'll assume herman was just caught up in it. The horns down - in an of itself - should not be a penalty any more than a Texas player doing a horns up. What WVU did after that touchdown (4:48 to 4:55) rightly should be a penalty. 4 player went right up to the fans and were yelling at them. The hands signs were irrelevant.

Horns Down
You think not one person is offended by the horns up and cosiders it taunting? I'm pretty sure you could find someone in every stadium to swear on a stack of Bible's they find it insulting and disrespectful if opposing fans interpret that as an elitist "F-you, we're Texas", you'd be ok with banning the horns up sign? You can't have it both ways. if you're offended by horns down someone else is offended by horns up

Horns Down
Some of you are fucking snowflakes. Taunting is standing over a downed player and yelling at them, or running past the other sideline and yelling shit. Making some hand sign as you score a touchdown is not taunting. That was such a bullshit call, as was the call to toss the starting lineman. I was embarrassed to be on the receiving end of that.
