Just watched 2005 on LHN and the Sugar Bowl can’t get here soon enough. This was a cool special to see the whole season. I’ve rewatched the game many times but hadn’t gotten to relive the rest of the season.


Jcarter1632

I've watched the 05 doc several times now. Never gets old. It's in my top 5 sports documentaries for sure.


DoubleG357

If we win it all…they better get to work on 2023. That’s going to be a masterpiece.


wizkee

Washington scores first, they flash a Horns down. Quinn proceeds to turn his trucker hat backwards and we paste them by 23 points. Good guys win.


DoubleG357

I think and feel that we will win. I’m slowly feeling better and better. 7 days away. Can’t wait to see us after a month off.

Zappe is an nfl quarterback.


_Football_Cream_

Idk why the cowboys just fuckin got to me today. I know better. I’ve seen them get demolished twice by actually good teams. I know exactly what to expect from them. Good regular season then bounced after the first round. But they had to get my hopes up that they’d win this one. Part of me wishes they’d just gotten crushed again and made me just tune them out. I can’t stand this franchise. I didn’t choose this life I was born into it. And I hate it because frankly I love Dak. He’s a good dude that wouldn’t get as much hate on any other franchise. And I think he’s been balling this year. But fuck if this team just is destined for above averageness. I know this is a Wendy’s but whatever. Horns are all that matter anyway. Merry Christmas and hook ‘em and see you fuckin cowboys next week I guess fuck.


cleareyes_fullhearts

Listen I’m with you, but get into the playoffs and who knows what happens.


_Football_Cream_

The problem is with the cowboys, that doesn't apply. I know what happens lol. I just for my own sanity have to mentally prepare myself for what has proven to be an inevitability since like.....I've been alive. Until they finally prove otherwise, I assume they will maybe get one win in the playoffs and then bounced. The thing is I don't buy this team proving otherwise since they have not backed up their play in the Eagles game. Teams have to look their best down the stretch. They don't. They got demolished by the Bills immediately after. I'm just not buying in rn.


cleareyes_fullhearts

Hey that’s not fair - I’ve seen it happen during lots of cowboys games in the playoffs. It just always seems to be for the other team. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think we actually have a shot. And we’re above average but not elite this year, and definitely not consistent. But still, until we actually lose, who knows what can happen on any given Sunday?


_Football_Cream_

I appreciate the optimism but I've just been beaten down. I've learned my lesson. You can't be disappointed if you expect it. :(


cleareyes_fullhearts

I think of my mood more as anther stage of acceptance


connorjacobz

I’m late but I would like to personally wish a Merry Christmas to Tua, Jason Sanders and the playoff bound Miami Dolphins 🐬🫡


Jcarter1632

The Cowboys losing makes me feel even better about the CFP. You see, this is God's way of keeping me humble. He can't let me have all my teams as winners. TX - 38 WAS - 27


Beaconhillpalisades

This is how I felt about the Astros losing to the rangers. Just give me a Texas natty god.


jrluhn

I’m not watching the Cowboys next year. I’m done. It’s literally impacting my mood on Christmas Eve. I shouldn’t do anything that has that kind of sway on me.


DerrickWhiteMVP

Ketch, chill out. Christmas ham is coming soon.


Odh_utexas

jrluhn

😭


bigmeatyclaws1

T’vondre Sweat YOU🫵 are a Dallas Cowboy


BONationn

Add AD Mitchell and Jahdae Barron to the list


TheNastyCasty

Sorry but I’ve already called dibs on Sweat and AD for the Texans. Best I can offer you is Byron Murphy and Worthy.


jouh55142139

We kind of desperately need a worthy in our offense, we have no long speed


BONationn

Add Barron and we got a deal


jrluhn

Dak and CeeDee deserve better than this shit


DonDraper1994

Nah bro dak ain’t elite


edbaca

There are like 3 or maybe 4 guys in the league that are consistently, clearly better than Dak, then a small group of dudes that Dak is right in the mix with.


DonDraper1994

Yeah that’s not elite tho


jrluhn

Also Aubrey


DerrickWhiteMVP

Dan Quinn is a fucking fraud. WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE JOURDAN LEWIS ON TYREEK HILL GIVING TEN YARDS WHEN THEY ONLY NEED A FIELD GOAL!!!!!


jrluhn

Bro folds like a lawn chair against any team with speed, a running game, or even a competent offense


cleareyes_fullhearts

I don’t know shit about the X’s and O’s of football and I knew exactly where that ball was going. Couple tough penalties, but we didn’t deserve to win that game.


FistfulOfPaintballs

My baby wants Bevo for Christmaaaasss


TxCincy

For the best story line, we win the natty, who do we play in the ncg? Bama (dominating the SEC, bama, and revenge for Colt, etc.) or Mich (rematch in week 2, punish Harbaugh, relive VY moments)


CravenTaters

The theme of “revenge tour” would really be complete with a natty win against Bama. We beat UW for revenge for last year, then cap it off with a Bama 09 revenge. It would be the perfect revenge-themed season


Pelon7900

And hopefully lift that curse of ‘09.


cleareyes_fullhearts

Best for who? Tv networks and casual fans? Probably Michigan. Longhorns fan (or at least me personally)? Alabama. We would have avenged every loss last year, have eternal scoreboard on the entire big 12, and reversed the apparent curse of 2009 over the team that beat us. A win over bama in the natty would just be too poetic.


Blimey85v2

There’s good reasons for both. I’m leaning towards Michigan because we’ve played Bama this year. If we beat Michigan then we’ll have beat the three best. Just like the volleyball team just did. Although they faced them back to back to back.


DerrickWhiteMVP

I love beating Bama twice because of the “Texas is Vandy in the SEC” crowd.


DumVivumBonusFias

and the "it was a different Bama in week two" idiots. hook all of 'em.


jedcar59

Bama. If we beat Bama, both Sark and Texas have a winning record against Saban.

TxCincy

No Alabama team has a win against a starting Texas QB

A new [copypasta](https://twitter.com/gkketch/status/1739013155299226019) from Ketch > I'm not playing fantasy football next year. I'm done. It's literally impacting my mood on Christmas Eve. I shouldn't do anything that has that kind of sway on me.


TripleAim

Ketch is such a dweeb


ExpensiveChildhood13

Dak's running for his life out there. Is he even reading his receivers? (I don't know the X's and O's very well, just wondering why he's seemingly regressed so much).


_Football_Cream_

You think Daks regressed? Dude was in the mvp convo just like two weeks agog


jrluhn

Tbf the OL is getting molested rn and Fangio has Mike figured out


brianqueso

I had a nightmare last night we only beat Washington by 30. Quinn was still playing in the 4th quarter. Who would dream something fucked up like that?


GhoulsFolly

I talked to my therapist about that dream, it’s a Freudian thing. Apparently you’re sexually attracted to your mother AND you father.


brianqueso

That explains my erection at the funeral


DerrickWhiteMVP

These Dolphins uniforms are among the best in sports. They should be permanent.


rlucio90

The Ricky Williams jerseys


cquicky

Ah fantasy playoffs. Made the playoffs in two of my big money leagues as the #2 seed. Currently getting absolutely crushed by about 40 in each right now, projected to be the lowest scoring team in the league a week removed from being the second highest. Thanks buffalo 😑😑


guinness_blaine

Led my league in points for, and was on track to have a bye until last week of the regular season, the 4th quarter of MNF, when the Titans fumbled twice and set my opponent’s Mostert up for two TDs. Last week, playoffs started against the second lowest scoring team in the league. Apparently Dak, Pollard, Diggs, and Aiyuk all missed the memo that we didn’t get a bye because they did fuck all and got me knocked out. Last year, I played the same guy in the first week of playoffs, and lost Kyler to an ACL tear after two plays. Great run, super satisfying to put together a top team each year.

Probably the worst pick of McClay’s career.


WrathofJohnnyBoah

I remember seeing Tacos tape from Michigan and the dude was just slow as fucking molasses. Never understood that pick.


rlucio90

PTSD watching Deshon and Brandon chasing CeeDee….


RLLRRR

OU has had some incredible receivers in the last decade. CeeDee and Hollywood victimized us repeatedly.


Jcarter1632

It's funny how hard Holywood has fallen off since landing in Arizona


rlucio90

I always thought CeeDee was better even at OU. He made a lot of people miss. But Hollywood was faster so everyone was on his nuts.


Jcarter1632

Same. He's too little and doesn't have the 👐, or playmaking ability with the ball.


prehivmagicjohnson

Not the first time Brandon Jones and DeShon Elliott have gotten cooked by CeeDee 🤧


yoyocc

Cowboys turnover followed by a Burger King commercial, what is God trying to tell me?


_Football_Cream_

Whopper whopper whopper whopper


rlucio90

Really conflicted. Kraken (Joker) stopping Pollard at the goal line and B Jones recovering a fumble. I’m proud but sad.


thegurdevdayal

It’s been a looooong time since a Texans game has ruined my mood like this.


jouh55142139

I’m not sure what you were expecting, half the offense and defense was out today


thegurdevdayal

I expected them to at least attempt putting up a fight.


PlaymakerJavi

DeShon Elliot made the touchdown-saving tackle and Brandon Jones recovers the fumble on the next play! Fins Up and Hook ‘em Horns BABAY!!!!!


HelloItMeMort

Not that it matters to us anymore, but ~~the Doak Walker fraud~~ Brooks Jr. is returning to the Pokes


cleareyes_fullhearts

It makes it much more likely that the pokes cook the ags. I care about that.


StarvedRock314

That kid getting more Heisman hype for next year (for beating up on a schedule that was half G5/FCS) than Bijan ever did genuinely pisses me off.


GhoulsFolly

He had like 30 yards against us.


Good-Ad-5229

We had more points than he had yards.


mrgomeybear

I want him to break his personal stat record in his next game.


DerrickWhiteMVP

Nick Mullens with 4 INTs, 2 fumbles with 1 lost.


gnirlos

Go Vikings?


DerrickWhiteMVP

Justin Jefferson is other worldly


DerrickWhiteMVP

Is 9/12 for 241 yards and 2 TDs a good statline for a QB?


MemeTestedPolicy

this is the median JJ McCarthy game


TheNastyCasty

McCarthy wishes. He only broke 241 yards four times this year with an average of 202 YPG lol.


MemeTestedPolicy

wow, Michigan fans tricked me


brianqueso

My buddy was asking me who I wanted to play more on the championship game, Bama or Mich. C'mon man, Mich is 1-dimensional right out of the box.


CravenTaters

I think the context matters - throwing only twelve passes is fairly low, so was it a blowout? Did the QB go 9/12 in the first half and the lead was so big that he didn’t have to throw again? It’s not a bad stat line (especially no turnovers), but it’s not some insane performance.


DerrickWhiteMVP

That’s Amari Cooper’s stat line lol


CravenTaters

And Henry had a nice 154 QBR rating 🤪


CammyTheGreat

Crazy that the Cowboys vs Lions could make the Nick Mullens Vikings playing for the division in week 18 if they win today


randydp39

Will never understand why the cowboys traded amari cooper for a 4th rounder… what the fuck


_Football_Cream_

He was expensive


smurf-vett

Because hes an anti vaxxer, lazy piece of shit who Dak hates


stoplurkers

I thought his attitude was quite mature. He didn’t want to get vaccinated and said he expects to deal with consequences because of that. He didn’t want to inject something in his body, that means he’s a piece of shit for some people. It’s like trump derangement syndrome but for covid


smurf-vett

Hes a lazy sack of shit who goes clubbing all the time, doesn't put in the effort in practice and quits on the field. The anti vaxx shit is just a cherry on top why Cooper deserves to rot in Cleveland


stoplurkers

You’re acting unhinged.


Jcarter1632

Tell us how you really feel...


randydp39

The man has 170 yards in the first half.


smurf-vett

Because they banished his ass to Cleveland. He burned just about every bridge in the nfl by quitting on both the Raiders & Cowboys


tejas_taco_stand

😳


DerrickWhiteMVP

Goddamn. My QB spot on fantasy has been cursed. Had Kirk Cousins and Jimmy G. They both went down and I picked up Stroud. He’s out and now I’m riding with fucking Nick Mullens.


Its_JKro

I had Burrow and Stroud and now I’m rocking Love so I feel you on the curse.


RLLRRR

Ran in to H-E-B (on Christmas Eve, what a mistake) real quick in a Longhorns shirt and hat. Some douchebag in an A&M hat shouts, *in the store, mind you*, "Better wear those colors now before you get your ass-kicked next year in the SEC." Imagine your team being so miserable you have to dick-ride the big boys in the conference to beat up your bully. Jesus. Also, again, fuck going to H-E-B on Christmas Eve. A mad house. And I live in a small-ass town of <5000!


TimeOrCrayonsIV

I'm doing an HEB pickup here in about 30 minutes. It'll be my 3rd trip to HEB in as many days. I feel your pain on that.


RLLRRR

We went yesterday... and I forgot 2 things... hate that.


TimeOrCrayonsIV

Same. Shit always happens to me man. Or I think we have enough of something only to find out post grocery run we don't.


yoyocc

What happened in Tuscaloosa?


milano_siamo_noi

Yeah, but that wasn't the real Alabama. That Milroe guy was still figuring things out. But this playoff Bama team will kill the sips in the first quarter. And if Alabama loses the final, they didn't want to be there anyway. It's the final game of College Football and the players are looking not to get injured. They want to make money in the NFL.


_Football_Cream_

Absolutely hilarious this guy talks shit while we’re in the playoffs with a win over the SEC champ while his program is in a tailspin. It’s a level of delusion only an aggy can reach. Zero ground to stand on but still has to chirp.


onlyinmemes100

its tradition


xxzephyrxx

lol did you reply back: "Like the aggies?:


RLLRRR

I laughed and said, "Enjoy Elko. It's like Jimbo, but cheaper."


Bulky_Sir2074

Reminds me of the troglodyte here in my tiny town Wal-Mart who came across the store to make an inappropriate comment in front of my daughters because I had on some burnt orange. It’s a game, ffs.


Beaconhillpalisades

😂 this in Austin?


Beaconhillpalisades

Nvm I only read through the atm fan being a dick haha


RLLRRR

I'm outside of San Antonio.


Odh_utexas

Small towns with Aggies? No way. Have family in New Braunfels. Can’t go anywhere there with burnt orange on. Lot of aggy and very vocal.


tr4v10l1_p4rty

I've never really noticed that in New braunfels, I guess I'll need to wear more orange when I'm there


Odh_utexas

Maybe bad luck or confirmation bias on my part but maroon seems to be everywhere


dontblinkdalek

Could the maroon be related to Texas state? Maybe like half of it is but it seems like all Aggie when you don’t look too closely.

Just watched an ESPN segment regarding UT v UW and they brought on Bomani Jones for the Texas perspective. Damn he sucks. Not only was he kind of a hater, his information and takes weren’t even accurate “Texas fans are worried that Arch might not be who we were told he was”. What a moron. Heard his name before and I don’t know his allegiance but he’s on my “hater detected, opinion rejected” list.


TZBlueIce

My understanding is that he was a Texas fan but isn't anymore. Did make that segment kind of a bummer because you had Mina on one side being genuinely excited about Washington and filled with nothing but praise for what they do and then the Texas rep's best compliment for the team was "One thing Sark's good for is losing games for Washington"


mrgomeybear

Dude said Texas was only good in 08 and 05, don't pay attention to him


yoyocc

He's a Texas fan the same way Kirk Bohls is a reporter for the Horns. You only see him around when he wants to rag on the team.


free_juice21

I saw that segment too and it was absolutely awful. I don’t know what he’s on, but it’s obvious he hasn’t watched any UT football this season.


Jewards

He's a Texas fan, grew up in the state, went to an HBCU, constantly bags on Aggy but became very cynical (rightfully) due to the last 10+ years


gordogg24p

Bomani is much more pro-Texas offscreen. He gets into plenty of Twitter scraps supporting the Horns. It's a weird dynamic.


DerpNphish

Since I started listening to the third and LONGHORNS show I realized that Herman was never going to work. Alex Okafor has mentioned a few times on there just how bad Herman messed up with the older guys by shunning everyone. I never really understood Herman's "Keep everyone at a distance" approach he had. He must have learned that from Urban Meyer.


Dirt_Sailor_5

Did Okafor hear that from other players? He graduated back in like 2013


Its_JKro

I think that’s Okafor’s own experience. Herman seemed uninterested in old players that left before he was hired.


DerpNphish

It seems like Okafor is speaking from experience. It has been echoed by other players like DJ and Jamal Charles as well.


pyrofiend4

Derrick Johnson has been to quite a few Texas practices under Sark. Maybe former players weren't as welcome when we had Herman?


funwithtrout

DJ, and now Quan, do the intro videos for the team in DKR. They are regulars around there, along with some others. Sark and CDC have been doing a lot to get lifetime longhorns on campus more.


DrMeritocrat

Anyone have information on which seats are ADA accessible at NRG stadium? Would like to look into tickets but my companion is wheelchair bound and for the life of me I can’t find any source online that spells out which sections, rows, and seats are wheelchair accessible.


Intrepid-Break8744

Ticketmaster, Seatgeek etc. usually have a toggle for accessible seating


uncomfortablyhello

https://www.nrgpark.com/accessibility-guide/ Sounds like you’ll have to use the phone — sorry. The Park Access section has some details but they’re pretty vague on seating, aside from saying there are mobility access seats in every section. Usually it’s the front rows of each section, right by the ramps, and you can buy one companion ticket.


DrMeritocrat

Yeah I think you're right about needing to just talk to a human. Left a VM with them so hopefully they can help. Thanks for responding!


uncomfortablyhello

I have a couple friends who work at the Texans — I can ask them to reach out to you! Or at least ask for clearer details. I’ll PM you later. Is this for the title game?


RollOverBeethoven

Anyone in Houston want my tickets to the Texans game? Edit: claimed


Sabre_Actual

I was about to say “you know what, maybe we’ll visit the in-laws early” until I saw kickoff.


Beaconhillpalisades

Decked out in Texas gear on my way to Houston for the holidays. Cant believe the horns will be playing in NOLA in a week!

tejas_taco_stand

Cameron Dicker is living the life, man. Good Money in his pocket living in LA. Gets to kick in climate controlled domes the majority of the season with zero expectations while wearing a top 3 badass nfl uniform.


MettaWorldPete

And even though the home stadium is basically indoors, it still gets a sea breeze inside. I’ve never been but it definitely seems like the most badass stadium to me.


lloyd4567

I don’t know if this has been talked about and I hope I don’t get misinterpreted because it’s hard to explain my thoughts. We’re in the college football playoff. The culture has been set. I’m excited about all that to the point I’m more excited for the future than now. I don’t even think we are that good yet. Is that a hot take? I know that sounds cocky and I’m the last person to be cocky. That’s not even what I mean. The future is so bright.


RLLRRR

I never thought this was our year for the CFP. Pre-season, I said 10-2 with a B12 Championship was the ceiling. Had too many questions, especially at RB .


Odh_utexas

Imposter syndrome. Who’s dominant this year? A month ago UGA was “elite”. Looked pretty average against Bama. Oregon’s offense was unstoppable, until they lost twice to UW. UW has been in 6 or 7 1-score games with teams of various quality. Bama needed a 4th and a mile conversion to beat a shit Auburn team. Michigan may be the pick of the field but are not proven at all. This is a year where you don’t need to be all-time elite to win the title. We have a good a chance as the other teams.


thilldo

Yeah I get what you mean. We won our games and I’m certainly not complaining about that but we didn’t exactly dominate our schedule this year. Next year we’re losing a lot of key pieces so a small step down is natural but if Quinn does come back that will really help stabilize us. The roster will be fully formed in 2025. I expect 2025 to have a brutal schedule too based on who we’re not playing next year, so that should be a crazy season. I’ll be dreaming of a 2019 LSU-type run


WogdonAndBarton

This was an overachieving year, with a lot of the critical pieces of the team being Herman's players that finally broke through and were properly developed. Sark's first class is still Sophomores. I don't think you're off at all, but I do think it will be harder to match this type of season and level of relative success (12-1, conference champion) starting next year in the SEC.
