re: With a good QB Texas wins that game
Posted by laxtonto on 10/10/26 at 6:45 pm to JamalMurry27
Mateer plays like he has all season and Texas wins this game…
If Texas ST coach, they win this game…
This is what makes rivalry games so damn fun.

It should have always stayed as Red River Shootout.
Slow reading QB that is better at improvising in a system that requires reading the defense heavily and a very weak Center that consistently gets driven back that takes away a lot of the initial mobility move of stepping up in the pocket to being a scramble of Manning.

It should have been a late hit/targeting but once Mateer, the designated passer threw it backwards to the back or wr, that player designation of passer does not transfer.
Can’t rough a player that isn’t a passer…

How can you have a roughing the passer penalty on a runner? Once they tossed it, he is no longer a passer? That is probably a potential some type late hit call, but not a roughing there…
re: Elko refers to Texags as a “cesspool”
Posted by laxtonto on 10/10/26 at 4:41 pm to SlicedBread
What is funny to me is that TexAgs mutiny about Stoops is what got Elko hired.
Without TexAgs, he wouldn’t have gotten hired, cesspool and all

No touchdowns today, no running game and no QB…
Elko could fire Wiggins mid season and buy himself a mulligan this season

Wiggins isn't an OC; he is a bagman who fell upward throughout his career, and now, with NIL, his particular skill set matters less.
For some reason, Elkop decided he is a great option to promote from within as OC, which he has never done before, instead of finding a real one.

The fans' favorite player is the unplayed backup QB on a bad team...
I guess people haven't looked at the A&M depth chart? For some reason, Elko and A&M didn't grab a clipboard-holder placeholder backup this offseason, and so their backup has a career stat line of 9-19 for 98 yards with 1 TD/1INT

re: Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud arrested for planning ISIS mass shooting.

According to multiple reports on the case, Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud is an 18-year-old U.S. citizen born in the United States to parents from Somalia.
So, he started this idea at 15 or 16 and we waited for him to be an adult to arrest him?
Either way you look at it should lead to some concerning questions.
re: Russia Ready to Accept US Proposals Regarding Ukraine
Posted by laxtonto on 10/1/26 at 8:55 pm to PsychTiger
My guess is this is tied to China having to stop fuel exports and them leaning on Russia to try and keep their own dying economy above water.
The rumor is that his wife and the kids is the reason why he didnt go with Sark initially instead of PK and once the kids were older they both wanted to be back in Austin.
So the real questions are: does the wife want to go elsewhere or stay in Austin, and does Muschamp even want to mess with being a HC, knowing Texas can pretty much outpay most lower-level HC gigs he could get?

re: Greg Sankey believes the SEC’s ESPN deal is undervalued.

Just look at last weeks tv numbers and ask yourself why the SEC is making rumbles about a new deal and why the networks know it is an inevitability…

People are acting like this is something new when this was already discussed and workshopped earlier this year.
The entire point is to tell students that if you want to to major in degree “x” and receive student aid to do so (Pell grant and/or loans) your university needs to show that their graduates make enough to justify it. If you can’t do better than the standard hs graduate, you can pay out of pocket. All of a sudden students will now have to be explained about the real earning potential of their degree choices, have to make the conscious choice to pay for a degree that has low income prospects or use aid for something with a higher income outcome, and many of those sob stories of kids with all of this debt and can only work at Starbucks all vanish. Agency and long term economic independence is something colleges have been hiding from students at the individual major level (outside of business schools, law, and engineering as they use it to recruit) as they k ow it would impact enrollment. Kids love the happy fun classes and exotic majors if they don’t know the consequences of their choices.
Think about how low of a bar this really is. What this really is doing is forcing colleges to track placement of students with their degrees by majors and essentially show that those students are getting a real job, in any field, that pays more the median standard HS graduate.
Where this becomes interesting is how this works with private schools and does this practice continues on to lenders for independent loans for private university tuition.

A&M's issues are that their DTs can't handle double teams, their DEs aren't as dominant as they used to be, and their LBs struggle with coverage and positioning.
Any one of those you can work around, but when you have all 3 happening in a game, you get teams chunking you to death like UK did.
Let's also not forget that Kentucky actually left points on the table with drops in the first half as well.
The problem on O is that their run game is subpar, and their overall yards are being propped up by Reed's scrambles (especially in the UK game with 40yards with them being in prevent). Their OL is nothing like last year's, and Reed is best in a one-read-and-go system.

re: Is Russia about to move on multiple euro countries?
Posted by laxtonto on 9/20/26 at 11:05 am to SouthEasternKaiju
Russia doesn’t have the manpower to hold onto the gains they have made in eastern Ukraine. They are struggling logistically to get men and material to the front lines right now. Russia is having to rely on foreign made drones and missiles to supplement their current attacks on Ukrainian targets.
We are supposed to believe that even though this is happening, Russia has the offensive capability to attack multiple euro countries? They don’t have the capability to finish of Ukraine, so attacking say Finland or Poland would be a blood bath.

OSU was in a 3 man front 14% of Texas passing downs, down from their last year average of about 30%.
The change was that they were not getting pressure at the same rate in the past with a 3 man front and in truth the OSU DL as a whole were much less successful as pash rushers than prior Buckeye teams.
Part is that Texas OL is improved from the disaster they were last year, but also OSU lost multiple defensive first rounders and right now they don’t seem to be able to do what they were doing on D last year.

Which media member will decide to give LSU 67 million a year, which is what ND currently pulls in (which is 5 less than the current SEC deal) ?
Do you really think ESPN/Disney will do it, knowing that there is a SEC rights deal coming up? Fox, where they are better off doing nothing and waiting for LSU to go to the B12 and paying less while reinforcing the B12 brand at the same time?
So are we thinking CBS / Paramount+? TNT / WBD? Amazon Prime?
None of those are viable without the special CFP revenue carve-out that ND has and some sort of legit scheduling agreement.

Why wasn’t this set in motion last basketball season then?
Because last basketball season, the NCAA wasn't considered essentially null and void as an enforcement mechanism, and the hope was that this was something that was going to get fixed at the national level via legislation.
The 2025-26 basketball cases (G League returnees, two-way contracts, Bediako) were NCAA problems. Conferences complained. They did not file federal suits against their own members. The hope was a national eligibility statute, not 16 presidents inventing a parallel government in August. That hope died this summer when the 5-for-5 carve-out hit the courts, state judges started writing NCAA rules, and a member school plus a state AG used a hometown injunction to freeze an SEC vote two weeks after it passed.
Once the national body cannot hold a line, the conference either polices its own association or it does not exist as a product. That is why this started after the August 25 vote and the Louisiana override, not after last year’s basketball season.
