    Fuck you Texas

    I'm not particularly upset I missed today's game. 26 penalties between the teams? Yuck. Shitty football.

    Setting the record straight I was never a CFB mod. I’m still around. Just less active online altogether. Setting up a major life change I hinted at months ago.

    College football's top 25 future defense power rankings - ESPN Insider

    I'm just skeptical it's a one year rebuild. Our players consistently played well with lots of time to prepare for an opponent in bowl games. Even under Orlando. As soon as big 12 play starts in earnest the offensive play callers in this conference take advantage of our lack of fundamentals and...

    College football's top 25 future defense power rankings - ESPN Insider

    Man I guess they are banking on our new coaching hires really doing the job. We were fucking terrible last year.

    Houston Asterisks

    I personally believe, and the evidence proves, everyone who joined the Houston Astros went right along with the scheme. I guess the Astros only draft, sign, and trade for the morally bankrupt players? Clearly the organization is shitty for allowing it to happen, but I don't believe the players...

    Houston Asterisks

    Stealing signs has always been blessed from the top down. The Astros clearly went outside what was acceptable to do it though. I'm not arguing otherwise. I'm simply saying cheating is quietly part of baseball culture and unwritten rules is what truly governs the cheating. Steroids, technology...

    Houston Asterisks

    I'm not minimizing anything. I'm talking about the broken culture in baseball that allows this to continue to happen decade after decade. Every decade something new rocks the baseball world. This time, it was the Astros, if things continue, it will be something else.

    Houston Asterisks

    Not that I'm surprised since you have a vivid imagination on all the forums you post on, but I never said this. I've said we will never know who the best team was because the Astros cheated. I've got no delusions at all about what occurred in 2017. My team cheated. :noidea:

    Houston Asterisks

    Okay to clarify my point some and make it specific to this Astros issue, so teams have been trying to steal signs since the invention of baseball. Everybody agrees with this. If you figure out the other teams signs, it’s okay to tell the batter what is coming if you have a runner on second base...

    Houston Asterisks

    My point wasn't to make an equal comparison, clearly they aren't, it was to point out how teams attempt to use technology to gain a competitive advantage and occasionally it gets called out. Anyway, I'm not trying to start a tit for tat comparison. My point was this. Corked bats, substances...

    Houston Asterisks

    I know most of you don't really give a shit about the opinion of an Astros fan... But... I'm gonna give it anyway. I have zero respect for cheaters. I feel robbed as a fan that the only world series win I've ever been able to witness is forever tainted and unearned by our players. I also feel...

    Spencer Rattler

    Jalen Hurts isn't the reason OU didn't win it all this year. He is THE reason they made the playoffs. Cedee Lamb wasn't running wide open all year anymore than any other OU WR. What made him special was what he did after the catch. He was elite once he had the ball. Like as good as I've seen in...

    The penalties for Houston are in

    This is the most Houston sports fan thing ever. I don't know what we did decades ago to deserve this, but it must have been terrible.

    Mike Leach To Mississippi State

    I'll be damn if the SEC isn't collecting the most entertaining coaches in college football. Farmer Fran, Joey Freshwater, and now the Pirate. Might as well bring Steve Spurrier back out of retirement to join the crew and I would literally watch SEC media days for the first time ever.

    Coordinators??? Texas don't need

    Yeah, no shit. Apparently Herman is pointing the finger at his coaches instead of the players. Which I kind of agree with. However, Herman is supposed to be coaching the coaches so it's on him too.

    Ehlinger isn't Joe Burrow, but he's the best we've had in a long time. The way we've been with QB's I'm not bitching about him. I'm just happy we can complete a forward pass. We fix our defense and we can win with him.

    To be fair, neither is Oklahoma. 3 clear top teams this year and Alabama was in that league as well before their QB went down. I see Baylor and Oklahoma in a similar light to Oregon and Utah.

    Yes they are. Such a frustrating year because both the guys making plays tonight are seniors. Johnson missed like half the year but Duvernay played like this all year. Ehlinger kind of regressed though so it didn't really pan out. Oh well, on to next year...

    Game Thread: ALAMO: Utah #11 v. Texas | ESPN | 6:30CT

    What's funny is during the season we heard much differently about several of the coaches who were fired. Like a max exodus of starters to the transfer portal. To be fair though, it wasn't really Orlando all that much. Yep, Orlando uses a very complicated scheme. Pretty good year when he had a...

    Welp, so much for coaching. Apparently Texas having fewer coaches made the players play better. :noidea:

    Does being a blue blood really mean anything?

    Clearly, I vote it doesn't mean shit.

    Did Texas hire a DC and OC yet ???

    I'm not sure you made the best argument here. We were on the same page earlier. But I'm not sure how Mizzou and A&M having early success in the SEC with players recruited to play in the Big 12 proves the SEC is superior now that they've been there awhile and are having less success. Granted, I...
