    I which one of our players--say Kyle Porter-- would've died in the offseason from heat exhaustion. So at least I would know they were doing shit.

    I have a message for our beloved sips in teatown.I want to tell them that I admire them. I admire the fact that they are better fans than we are. I admire them because they've been through so much the

so much for going out and trying to establish the run. so much for sam growing up and making good decisions. so much for this coaching staff learning from last year's fiasco and getting their team ready to play on opening day. so much for the off season hype.  

Ehlinger is so bi polar, looks amazing then pulls off shit I only thought swoopes would do. My last chic bang was super bi polar so I’m out of ehlinger.

How we still get skill position recruites bogles my mind....  If you watch last year and today, I would think it would be a hard pass right now

He looks good running the ball and over throwing to a receiver that dives to make a catch you mean???   Other then that he hit a couple of short passes and mid range to wide open or jump balls receivers?

Sure.

Did we watch the same game??  Did I miss something other then running he did good? Lol

No I totally agree I just didn’t have a good response. My bi Polar statement is basically he runs well then finds a way to swoopes it up. I don’t see how buchele doesn’t get a shot against Tulsa next week.

This right here. What’s the pitch? Come to Texas and maybe... maybe you’ll play over lesser players.

Oh well. The sun will come up tomorrow.

There was a vid of girl shotgunning bottle of jagermeiester and chasing with a Red Bull somewhere... I just did that. Not looking forward to coworkers on tusdayi

When is the last time you saw Tech play and thought, "Damn, that guy sucks.  He just doesn't have it.  Not surprising they have a bust at QB."

Been a while, eh?   Most of Tech's QBs are pretty damned good.  They may be system guys not suited for the NFL but they can play college ball.  Weak armed on occasion, but they find a way to compensate.  

Were there any positives? I can't remember any. All phases sucked including coaching. 

 We have become shit.

 Hook em!

The offensive line had a pretty good game. 

We ran pretty well in the 2nd half.  Until we inexplicably stopped calling run plays........

Yea, it was better than last year. Maybe we got something to build on.

they had a much better Game Pass blocking, but they still suck shit through a straw for runs. I saw  5'10"  or 6' Maryland linebackers push 2 blockers back for 3 yards about 20 times today.

However, Improvement is Improvement I guess...

Just got back from the game.  Had 4 hours to consider driving off the highway and into a tree, but didn't so that's a plus.

I hear the tree is -14 for our first game next season.

I am worried that we now have Mackovic 2.0, but with less success.
Perhaps this is a plot by rogue elements of the shadow BOR installed by aggy Dick Perry to torpedo Texas Football.....

At least Mackovic ran a coherent offense.

UMD 2-22 against ranked teams, both wins against Texas.

This! I’ve said several times today that I just didn’t see any flash outside of a couple of plays. I know there are dudes on this team with serious athleticism, but whatever we’ve been doing doesn’t allow it flourish. Shit we can’t even get it to sprout.

It's really only bad if you think we should have been ranked.

To think we got one of our biggest wins ever against aggy with Case McCoy at qb and now we appear to be back in the Ash and Gilbert days..,the mind boggles.

A healthy David Ash would be an enormous upgrade right now. 

Herm Edwards has a better team then us

Basically what I understand from coach and player interviews after the game is we were trying to play too good and that's why we lost.

That's fucking perfect.

David Ash has the best win % of any qb since Colt. So yeah, I'll take concussed Ash

Yea we are far away from the Ash days

 Serious question need advice. If you were a few days away from having your first child, would you continue to watch this shit show every Saturday or would you sit this season out so that the baby has a fair entrance to the world that is not clouded by rage and frustration ?

I absolutely lost it when I heard that fucking lame excuse.  How did the media let him get away with that bullshit?  Oh wait... now I remember.

Nah, back in for another year a least.  See ya!

Offense has AIDS. Defense has AIDS.

Why do I kept giving this program money? The only good part of this game was when we got them to serve us beers during the rain delay in the 4th.

Fuck me running.

If serious, the day your child is born, the importance of all this will take a monster nose dive into your zero fucks given pool. You'll still care, some, but you'll realize it's just a game played by very young men, nearly children. At least, it should. If it doesn't then you should stop watching and maybe get some help. Seriously.

It’s really just about the 3 hours on Saturdays, and whether it’s fair to the baby to allow that frustration into the house.  I probably already know the answer, I just don’t know how to not turn the TV on when it’s game time. I’ve told myself I would before but it doesn’t work. Anybody have success with that?

So, We are the Oklahoma of volleyball?

You won't even turn the TV on. You'll be distracted. Unless you live in a big ass house and expect your wife to do everything, you'll be so scared about waking the baby and creating more work for yourself.

 

I'm a movie buff. I think in my daughter's 16 months, I've watched TWO movies at home. The TV almost never goes on. Now that she's older, I feel ok putting tennis on. Today was the first UT game I've watched since 2016.

Shit, 1984 Joe Montana would've been skittish behind that O-line from last year. Sam was either too concussed or regarded (or both) to not be that affected.

I got a Roku with the remote that lets you plug headphones in when my first kid was born.  Now I'd get an AppleTV with bluetooth headphones.  Either way, solves a lot of problems.

The buildup today's game felt like a small-part of the anticipation I had for the Star Wars Episode I, and the result was about the same.  When my kids were born, I skipped a lot of games, or casually followed along on a tablet.

Your child with give you the proper perspective on what is truly important and Texas football will take a backseat. Congratulations and enjoy the moments
