Do we know this?

If you look at his numbers from last season and the Spring game, he's very good for a kicker.

    There are longstanding rumors that Chip Brown is your typical old school sports reporter. By that, I mean he's allegedly a degenerate gambler and alcoholic. There's a longstanding rumor that Chip

Well, we want a punter who's good at punting for a punter, not good at punting for a kicker. Hopefully one of those guys is good though, we'll see.

I knew how I worded that would come back to bite me. He's a good punter. Based on his numbers, if he needed to punt all season, it wouldn't be an issue.

There was nothing else to respond to from your post as far as I could tell at a glance. I realize there's an asymmetry in our relationship here, my guy, but I don't hang on each word you type.

Also, people have been attempting to feeling-shame me about posting style and behavior on Internet forums since before your mediocre, Gen Z-acting ass was born. I'm sure if you call your mother and let her know that you're still a good boy whose love for the wilder types is still mysteriously unrequited, she'll be happy to make you feel better and assure you that everything is going to be okay.

Rather than further emo-shitting up this thread with your efforts to change me, maybe just take it all to DM from here if you need more attention. We were having a perfectly good argument about whether UT will suck again or be back like Ehlinger in '18 before you pulled up in your clown car to whine at me.

Octavian, don't let him fool you. Awhile back ctj made a post praising Ian Boyd's description of the intricacies of Greg Davis' offense when he was OC at Texas, and I kind of joked about it. He went on to attack me and I made him feel really bad to where Sydney had to console him. Supposedly, to make him feel better Sydney purposely lost to him in golf. Anyway, my point is to not give up. He says it doesn't hurt "sometimes", but deep down inside he cries.

You proved my point. Another shitty, ranty post (and, yes, asymmetrically longer than any response I’ve given you). At the end of the day, you’re a middle aged man trying to get kicks out of bullying someone over the internet on a university-related lifestyle forum - I’m not sure I’m the one who’s out here hunting for validation.

Haha you’re the one who started this off-topic discussion after I made an offhand joke. Clearly this is a waste of time so this’ll be the last time I respond to this or joke about you since you clearly can’t handle it.

If you want to out-Surly CTJ, bring a boxed lunch. That dude is usually crankier when he's right than he is when he's wrong. I say that knowing full well that 90% of people can't tell the difference, either in his crankiness level or his rightness level.

I didn't "try" to do anything. You took some sort of shot and I decided to club you like the baby seal that you are. You think you're keeping up in some manner and I'm only coming back into view because I've grown tired of lapping you, dufus. The only reason I don't have your unintelligent ass on ignore is because I've discovered that you have a very punchable posting approach.

You fuckers know fully well that I admit to being wrong all of the time. I'm ridiculous about shit whether I am right or wrong and further encouraged when people can't handle it, but I'm wrong plenty and it's entertaining. It's part of what's fun to me in participating on the boards and taking risks in life in general. Some shit is not going to work out and there are times when the messier it is, the funnier it is. Other times ... not so much.

And then you have rubes like the guy above here who seems to think that there is some sort of higher piety or moral high ground that one can achieve by working towards a more perfect posting style and also curating your position to the point in which you never actually take a position other than that of bawling about or laughing at others when something they said looks out of line or they flat out have fallen on their face. 

Christ y’all. It’s pretty easy. Give Bijan 25-30 touches, Roschon 10-15, draw the safeties in and throw to Whittington and Wiley and whoever emerges out of that receiving room. Boom. Touchdowns will follow

Lol. Considering I have to take billions of dollars worth of risk on positions in different companies’ stocks on a daily basis for my job, I assure you I’ve taken more risk than you have and far more frequently. I never said one posting style is better than another - I just said you go on long rants that have very little substance in them given that the point is generally sandwiched between 90 tons of horseshit. People like the information you bring. It has value. I also like this information and value it. Your opinions are average at best and I’ve never seen you actually conduct real analysis that adds value outside of stating your opinion in as forceful a manner as possible and expecting people to fold over. I’m sure this tactic works when you have people jerking you off for the aforementioned information you drop off from time to time.

Harris averaged 19+ last year under Sark. He will get 20 consistently 

Words are just that - words - but Sark has mentioned in media availabilities that Roschon has forced his way into earning a larger share of the workload.

Not everyone has the courage to take such daring risks and bold bright line positions as, “I bet X happens … provided that if there is some sort of technicality preventing X from happening, then the bet shall be nullified.”

I read that book once. HenryJames sent it to me and I couldn't help myself. I read like 5 chapters at least. It's almost as unreadable as Ulysses.

Between rushes and receptions, Bijan should be well over 20 per game.  He’s built like a truck and can play in any down/distance situation.   We don’t need to manage his load.  

There would still be a reasonable number of touches for Roschon even as a true backup now that we’re in the brave new world where we don’t devote 25 snaps a game to QB runs and scrambles.

Bijan receiving out of the backfield is going to be a surprise to some people next year, and it really shouldn't be. He was crazy efficient last year catching passes.

And Sark LOVES using RB out of the backfield, in his words they are the least respected threat by defenses. 

I've got dreams of us RPO'ing a team to death over and over. Run, Quick pass, Double move / alt route deep PA pass, PA run > Screen, all from the exact same look and initial snap steps. Pick your poison and get fucked 😅

If you still have it send it my way. I will read it. 

Confession time- I was first exposed to the world of longhorn internetdom by meeting Wheeler in Aimes Iowa when he still owned half of horn fans.  He was always a really generous guy to me when I was but a poor 21 or 22 year old law student. He was always first to buy booze- hook me up with a ticket- or a ride or something like that.

I never in all my time hanging around him saw him be anything but generous to everyone around.  I still can’t comprehend what happened with the Oklahoma State bus deal. It doesn’t make sense to me from what I saw of him in real life.

Idk where he’s getting those odds from, but some of them seem way off. I’d bet the house on Texas -1 vs. WVU. Like seriously, anyone know where I can find those odds to lay down some money? 
WVU’s had a ton of attrition and don’t have much at QB. 
 

Even if you factor in home field, those lines seem pretty off base. Draft kings has Big 12 title odds as:

TEAM ODDS 5/4
TEAM ODDS 5/4
Oklahoma -125
Iowa State +250
Texas +350
Oklahoma State +700
TCU +2200
West Virginia +2200
Kansas State +2800
Baylor +4000
