I know this may be a long shot. I am looking for four (4) Club level seats (either side) for the Texas game. I am trying to help out a family member.

Any help would be appreciated.

Business owner here. I’m looking to get our biz dev reps equipped soon. I’m looking for the best bang for the buck. So far, I’m looking at Honda Accord LX (base model). We aren’t high rollers so don’t go crazy here. What is an affordable car that makes the most sense in this situation ?

And I hope we ruin his day Saturday. https://www.espn.com/college-footba...ill-long-road-back-father-homecoming-plan-for

These people are the worst. How does anyone want to go to that cult?

Guessing Tech will go red/white/white.

In honor of @TexasOL05 and this endless debate about the "best" double T.

Totally forgot Aikman/Buck were the MNF team. Doesn’t matter too much as I’m here for Peyton & Eli.

This is good. Lol

Upon a rewatch, the OL was worse than I thought live, in particular the two tackles. I know Hamby can’t be happy about it, and he’s a stellar OL coach, but he has his work cut out for him right now.

Rogers and Mills were plain bad. Rogers May have played his worst game as a Red Raider yesterday.

Both guys let Parish and the other Houston edge rushers beat them regularly. They were getting bested with speed and better technique off the edges. This forced Donovan to have to abandon the pocket, miss throws, and eat some sacks that weren’t his fault. Donovan made some mistakes and needs to get rid of the ball faster, but on rewatch, I thought thelarger issue was the play of the tackles.

This is my biggest concern. Houston’s end players are good, but they aren’t in the same class as what Texas, Baylor, K-State, and OSU will trot out.

A lot of Technique cleanup and getting vertical more efficiently/faster will help them both settle in and do better, but I don’t think this is an overnight fix.

I would almost like to see Rogers moved inside, play Buchanan, just to see get a different mix in there. Idk what’s going on with Rogers, but he’s bad right now. I wonder if he has the athletic ability to be a steady hand at LT. He looks slow, both in pass pro and when he’s pulled in the run game.

As for the OL as a whole, Wilburn is the best player by a wide gap. He needs to keep getting better and he has things to clean up as well, but he’s been very solid to good at center. Jacoby Jackson has been the 2nd best player.

How to try and help this OL right now, I think it starts with more quick game, check downs and quick throws to tailbacks, and more RPOs. I thought the quick game was fairly effective, tailbacks were solid at making plays with the ball in space after catches, and we hit on a number of RPOs with the pass for some solid gains.

I also thought we were more effective running the ball in the 2nd half than I remembered when watching live, in particular the tailbacks running it. I think there are some times when a good ole traditional handoff would’ve helped keep some rhythm and momentum when we had some good drives going that stalled out.

The stall outs often happened when we were running pass plays that take a couple of seconds to develop, or Donovan May have just been taking too long to make a decision. The stall outs also happened on a lot of designed QB runs in short yardage.

Donovan was really effective running it on the fly when scrambling - both running for yards and finding someone open when scrambling - but there were only a couple of the designed QB runs that we got solid gains on. The OL often couldn’t hold their blocks long enough for the QB draws to develop. The DL was throwing off blockers to stop those plays in their tracks. I think the better QB run plays will be straight up designed runs with no draw elements, so straight up run blocking like QB Power.

Anyway, long story short: Tackles are really bad right now, and we can do some things to counteract it, but the offense is going to be pretty streaky until we can shore things up on the edges.

Thoughts?

Watching Ted Lasso for the first time. I am midway through the second season. I really like it but I am having a hard time understanding the dialog in our house with high ceilings.

I am watching on AppleTV+. Does Apple have closed captioning? If so, how do you access it? Also, the audio is slightly behind the video. Any help would be appreciated so I will know exactly what I am laughing at. Anybody else have these problems.

If you couldn't tell...I'm an old.

Thanks.

He’s damn good. That’s all.

This made me laugh. Like bro what the **** are you going to do.

As soon as the football schedule was released, I made hotel reservations at the Towne Place Suites for the games I thought I could/would attend. The price was so low ($92/night) I wondered if something was wrong (although I have stayed there in the past and the rooms were acceptable), so fortunately I made a second set of reservations at Holiday Inns, also. My thought was that they did not yet realize those weekends were Tech football weekends and had not yet jacked up the rates.

My sister's grandson graduated from the Naval Academy this past May (2022) and last year (June 2021) they made reservations in Annapolis for the May graduation weekend. They got a rate of $55 at a really nice hotel. The hotel staff called two weeks later and said the quoted rate was a mistake. It was supposed to be $450 per night, but my brother-in-law convinced them that he would sue them for bait and switch if they did not honor their reservation. They stayed for $55/night for three nights.

Today, I received a text advising the Towne Place Suites were being closed for renovation! Who in the hell thought it was a good idea to close the hotel in football season for renovations? Now is a tough time to be making reservations for the Texas game. I feel for those whose reservations were affected.

If it were up to Bill Jones, Davis would be in Dallas tomorrow.

RRS always comes through. I am looking for a general family doctor in the Richardson area. My last doctor went private practice and I am not going to pay what he is charging. Any recommendations out there? Just looking for the hookup is all.

Pretty nice little mention here. It's nice for someone to basically say we're a sleeping giant (not in those exact words) vs. taking shots at Lubbock. Pretty accurate take.

These are brand new helmets from Riddell this year. They use a 3D scan of the player's head for a custom fit. Cost around $750 a piece. Looks like a big jump in helmet technology

Here's the press release for more info:


I was looking though the Exposure photo gallery from the Houston game and noticed that Tyree Wilson, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, and one of the OL (I think Landon Peterson) are wearing them. @GCRRFan do you know if any other players are wearing them?





You also probably saw Zeke wearing one last night, looking like an Ewok on a dirt bike.

This is hilarious.

Not surprising, he seems to know his stuff. Lot of nice words about Tech and McGuire. Chicken fried steak comment is from here. Starts talking about Tech about 8 minutes. Brushes off Nebraska talk too.

Another weekend of Big 12 football has passed and I power ranked each team in the conference. Let me know what you think...do you agree? What changes would you make?
