  1. Bad news. Rawlings just told me I can only contact him from one email account. He said there are apparently rules in City Hall about that. Don't worry, I quickly found 5 early voting polls for the next election and voted for the other guy in all of them. That'll teach him.
  2. I have four email addresses and am on it starting now.
  3. So, congratulations on playing organized football AND making a stupid point? If you think the prep that wins games is in the pregame stretching, I don't think you paid much attention during your all-too brief career. Did Art Briles just have a better warm-up formation?
  4. I know that, but he played and contributed and got to feel like less of an outsider. I'm not saying I like it, just that I get it. I have no interest in digging through a young man's FB post history, but as long as he is not actively discrediting us or working against us, I'm just going to shrug my shoulders and move on.
  5. It's kind of like stalking an ex on FB. What's she going to do, bash her new flame and pine for you after she moved on? It sucks to read, but he would be a pretty crappy teammate to his current squad to be invested anywhere else.
  6. I'm on the fence. I can't figure out a way to do it without being incredibly mean to people at this point. I'm trying to come up with a plan B -- maybe awards for different types of posts?
  7. Too much reason today and not enough crazy. Bans are the freaking worst...
  8. I'm not saying we have to win next year, but the gap should never again be 4 scores. I'm really excited to watch the line and do think that those that savor the little improvements and understand that phase of the game will have a lot to chew on and think about. This may sound backwards, but I went in prepared to treat it like a baseball season, where the ongoing storylines and growth are more important to me than what happens in a single game.
  9. You know what this reminds me of (in-state example version?): When Sherman showed up in College Station. He had the remnants of a coach who didn't recruit size, emphasize strength training or much of the basics. He tried to simplify the schemes on both sides and saw his line get matched by bad teams and dominated by crappy teams. They won 4 games and many fans decided he was a bust and figured it was always going to be more of the same. Flash forward a few years later, and he has a preseason top 10 team and a program on the rise with recruiting back to the expected level for a program of that size. I'm not saying he is even that great, but he was losing to Big 12 teams with less talent at skill positions because of the line imbalance. If it turns out we have that this year, real strides can be made on both sides of the ball without always having a win to show for it. It won't be fun and it's not what I want, but it's hard to neglect the trenches for 5-6 years and fix it right away -- especially against opponents at all levels with the coaching to spread out and attack your weaknesses. Also, if this happens again next year, I fully support flipping the eff out.
  10. Everyone has their windmill. You have Boomer. Some have tortillas. Rick has shotgun handoffs. I have PR. KRAM has vegans. LoveMG has everything that ever happens. It's fun that way.
  11. Your mean.
  12. I savor them. Your insane in-game posting has been one of the high points for game days since 2006. MORE BOB! I want to live in your brain for 3.5 hours a week.
  13. Can we just build a series of responses to the title of this thread? ...white shoes are almost out of season ...the tape recorder clearly captures her saying "no." ...it's hard to get stains out of seersucker fabric ...Dad's going to be late with tuition and you'll have to buy books with your monthly spending allowance until we can deposit more in your account ...the bartender at Stan's peed in the Shocktop keg
  14. I gave Jerry a dollar during the Super Bowl fiasco because I felt temporarily sorry for him. Worst investment ever.
  15. Be nice. Most high school kids prefer brightly colored signs with simple fonts. He probably stayed up all night coloring that with the spirit coogs.
  16. Fixed it for you because I do, too.
  17. But the repercussions can last a lifetime.
  18. Haikus are for bad news. Look it up; it's in the thing.
  19. I like the idea, but find it troubling his boys are now 0-1. Let's just stick with the power of Pacino. I don't know what to say, really.
  20. For me, FIU was the most depressing game of the season last year. We didn't look like we belonged on the same field as them and it was the game where you could just feel everyone weigh down and give up from the first TD on the 5th play on. I have no idea what the real gap between the two teams really was that day, but it was one of worst game experiences I can remember. I have no prediction - and as much as I love our tradition of falling in love with names and abstract ideas mashed around football cliches every preseason - won't pretend to know how to evaluate this team yet, but a close game against a team we've competed with once in 4 years would be nice. 2007 19-38 2008 10-42 (Home) 2009 28-35 2010 10-34 (Home) 2011 PROFIT
  21. I embrace our stadium embracing the Corporal of the Surf, the Jester of Tortuga.
  22. Texas Fight, Texas Fight, And it's goodbye to A&M. Texas Fight, Texas Fight, And we'll put over one more win. Texas Fight, Texas Fight, For it's Texas that we love best. Give 'em Hell, Give 'em Hell, Go Horns Go, And it's good-bye to all the rest! Yea Orange! Yea White! Yea Longhorns! Fight! Fight! Fight! Texas Fight! Texas Fight, Yea Texas Fight! Texas Fight! Texas Fight, Yea Texas Fight! The Eyes of Texas are upon you, All the livelong day. The Eyes of Texas are upon you, You cannot get away. Texas Fight, Texas Fight, For it's Texas that we love best. Hail, Hail, The gang's all here, And it's good-bye to all the rest! They both suck.
  23. Very cool. Are they looking to do single game or multi-ticket packages (or both?) Thanks for taking the initiative to do this.
  24. Maybe that's not the point: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/679770/
