    Moved from RT. Goosby came in for Cam Williams (6th rounder). Goosby definitely a step down from Banks, who was the 1st rounder.

    Nope it doesn't. Goosby probably should've been starting all last year and did amazing when he came in. Think everyone was surprised. Regardless, club-handed Goosby is better than whoever the hell is backing him up at this point. Maybe a freshman. I seriously don't know, they're getting...

    Game Thread #1 Texas at #2/#3 tOSU, Sat. Aug. 30th, 12pm ET, FOX

    At the moment, as far as starters go (haven't seen enough of the backups to have an informed opinion on depth): RT: Worse RG: Better C: Worse LG: Worse LT: Better So worse as a whole. Hope is it's a slight dropoff and not a big one, but we'll see.

    Agreed, that's why I'm putting it in quotes. That was directed towards some media narratives, not the spread.

    Don't like the #1, but there's no obvious choice, so might as well be. If Arch ends up being a Heisman finalist, I don't think his performance in this game will help or hurt him. Unreasonable to expect him to go on the road in such a high profile game against what will be a good defense and...

    Not sure if he got concussed, was definitely a big hit. I suspect he wasn't 100% after that. When we got inside the 5, I was fully expecting Sark to put in Manning, which has been the tendency over the last half of the season. That and some short yardage situations, like the play where he...

    Appreciate it. That fumble return was a gut punch. Lots of thoughts but will keep it short. Two massive plays. Ohio St made them, UT didn't. Ohio St deserved to win. Congrats! Many on the UT side blaming Quinn for the loss. His pocket presence has been a source of frustration all year...

    Ya I've always been suspicious too. Real chance he doesn't kick today. Poor dude is snakebit right now

    The biggest problem for us is between Ewers' and Sark's ears. For long stretches, you can almost see when Ewers' brain short circuits, and when Sark overthinks things and gets too cute. It happens when opening script isn't working (it usually does, didn't against UGA the first time) or when...

    Emmanuel has [allegedly] been dipping his pen in the company ink at Fox it seems. His brother Sam picked Clemson to win it all after teams were announced, which was....odd. They were both great players for Texas (particularly Sam) but they don't really come across as Texas homers. Seems like...

    Bond will play but probably won't make an impact. He hasn't been the same since he injured his ankle in October. Who knows, maybe this is the week he's back to normal. My bad. I think I'm still used to KSU Howard.

    Yes, for sure. That is how the game started though - if not for a roughing the kicker penalty on ASU's first possession, they would have started the game with 3 straight 3-and-outs. After that, their drives were plays of 11 (Downs), 9 (Downs), 12 (Missed FG - had a 3-and-out, converted a...

    ASU game was ugly and I blame most the defensive struggles on the offense. At the end of the first half, ASU had 50 pays to UT's 22, and UT was up 17-3. After the 3rd quarter, ASU had 72 plays to UT's 28, and UT was up 24-8. They ended up with 97 plays for the game. About midway the the 2nd...

    I'm having issues keeping up with your acronyms. I know TSUN = the school up north but TCUN? That's a new one for me. The cunts up north?

    Agreed with this. And who comes down with the 50/50 balls more. Four ways to look at it: 1. Whoever shoots themselves in the foot less will win 2. If both teams execute well and limit mistakes while playing up to their potentials -> Ohio St by a score 3. Extrapolate positive momentum for Ohio...
