  1.   aggy delusion at it's finest.  "Well of course we invented the thumbs up!!  That's why after we finish suing Seattle over the whole '12th man' thing, we will be suing the pants off of Fonzy!  Stop stealing our stuff America!!!!"  
  2. I swear on all that is holy I almost typed "excluding nascar." 😂
  3. Most rednecks in an open air venue in the state of Texas?
  4. At best, the 3rd best QB in that draft...
  5. Aggies making suspensions on "no proof?" They suit em up when they show up pregame wiping coke boogers from their noses!!
  6. What is this indefinitely business anyway?? I thought the precedent set was one quarter against a rice-type opponent?
  7. Oh, and I thought the game immediately following our conversation was evidence of his point. Brown and gray ran more effectively against Baylor than any game all year.
  8. A ray of hope for the beat future. I spent about a half hour last Saturday chatting with a guy who played his last game with the Longhorns last season. He was a 4 year starter on the OL after being very highly recruited as a 5* recruit. He had some injuries but started most of the games over his 4 years of playing. Got his degree, found out the nfl probably wasn't in the cards for him and went back to West Texas working in the oil & gas industry. He told me that he expects to see the OL improve drastically this year and to see marked improvement each week. The minimal prior starts they had when thrown at byu was too much too overcome. He went in detail about reads and things you have to recognize at this level. He said without experience, you spend too much time thinking and not enough just playing. But he said this is a smart group that is picking it up very quickly. He also said that although he obviously never played for Coach Wick, he did play against his OLs for 4 years. He said that, coupled with talking to the guys and seeing them practice when he's in town (his gf still lives in ATX), leads him to believe that Wickline is as good an OL coach as there is in CFB. Take it for what it's worth but I have a lot of confidence in this guy. He was a very good one for the Horns and is exceptionally bright and cerebral when it comes to football. (And if horndawg had shown up at the tailgate I was going to make him arm wrestle this dude 💪
  9. If you come back, Mr. Buddy Garrity has agreed to be your personal butler for a weekend. Or that was told to me. By a friend of a friend of a friend who drops off his laundry. So come back. That seems to me to be a solid offer.
  10. Always comes back to the crabs. They do have medicine for that. Anyone in need should call Roper. He has a tube circa 1993.
  11. I think he meant more like "thanks for the bad news!" In a joking manner. I will also venture to read his mind and say he was grateful to Mack for sharing his endless Longhorn research with us. The kid does spend a lot of time studying an opponent that you are set to play theres ago...
  12. Also got the baby Hager kid who had committed to Baylor. Consensus is he's the best of the bunch (Britt's kids).
  13. When WNCIP posted this, I really thought about it hard for a while. I am convinced he would have been great at Nebraska 10-15 years ago. I just think he, like a lot of us, has lost some of his mojo over the past 5 or so years. And it is very hard to coach an elite program like Nebraska with a Twitter addiction.
  14. All jokes aside, I think this is a lot more important case than people realize. AP has the deep pockets to hire a gun like Rusty Hardin to fight the charges to the fullest. Unfortunately, looks like he is well on his way to screwing it up and handcuffing Hardin. It's an interesting issue that could have vast ramifications. But it's always the idiots who happen to have money who carry the flag, instead of Mr Smith next door who isn't an idiot but doesn't make $10M a year on his grind at the paper mill. I really thought he was going to fly that coop when he hired Hardin. Before he gets to trial, he might have tainted the whole dang jury pool by himself.
  15. Had a can last week. Not terrible.
  16. This really, really is a dumb rule. Maybe Gurley is the kid people can rally behind to effect change. Johnny, for all his excitability, didn't endear himself to john q fan off the field.
  17. Impressive! (And correct - which you knew.). Doug shankle is still #2 on the all time tackles list at UT (behind Britt Hager) and is the all time leader in solo tackles with well over 300 of those.
  18. Watched the '81 game last night. That is the first Texas-OU game I remember watching with my pop. Trivia Question (no googling): which SE TX town had 2 starters on the talented UT defense on a team that went 10-1-1 and beat Bama in the Cotton Bowl.
  19. Been watching old RRR games on espn classic. I remember a lot of these games. I forgot how bad the QBs sucked at throwing in the 80s (and before). I hadn't forgot how bad Chris Simms sucked. Blood still boils watching Major hold a clipboard.
  20. Gotcha. Check your messages.
  21. Haha! You know dems jist jokes Roper!
  22. What kind of work do you do?
  23. By the way, You just lost. You have pirates coming with a goal post. Maybe get your big behind up and get out of the way/leave the stadium. No wonder there are Aggie jokes...
  24. Right? Even better was the 80+ page classic thread on hornfans. One of the best in the history of message boards.
