Correct. On the west side of Burnet Road just north of 183. Saw Hank Williams, Jr. there in the late 70’s or early 80’s.
I share your feelings about this last Baylor game. My first was the 1974 Miracle on the Brazos. It just occurred to me last night that I have been to every one of our Baylor games, home and away, since then. Others can say what they will…it has been a fun series. Plus, McClane Stadium has the best setting in the state.
AD Mitchell's drop was not that hard a catch. Needs to be made and he'd probably tell you that.
I think it's hard to expect an old dog to learn new tricks. Saturday night was an example of sorts.
The House that Briles built has never set well with me.
Did he have to turn his body completely against the direction he was moving in, or not?
It was behind him. Period.
I honestly can’t remember ever seeing refs in a major college game ever just botch a spot that badly, by four to five yards. I couldn’t believe it. I’ve seen weird situations where the refs had to review a play to make sure of the spot or I’ve seen them make a mistake because of a penalty or change of possession type situation but that almost always gets corrected prior to the next play. But I’ve never seen a regular play spotted that badly. And they don’t even have to offer up an explanation because refs are protected. However, I have seen the ref move the ball backwards a yard after it was placed down against OSU to help prevent a first down for us.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Big 12 officials!!!!!!
The refs can be bad everywhere don’t get me wrong, but I’ve never seen some of the stuff that happens in the big 12 anywhere else. Good riddance.
I’ve been watching football for over 5 decades. A lot of football. I think griping about Refs is for losing teams. I have never. Ever. Ever seen an official miss a spot that bad. Not even in Jr High. Pathetic.
You have always been a receiver apologist and QB critic when it comes to the analysis of dropped passes. Nothing new here.
Context matters and it feels as though you’re intentionally ignoring they scored all the points on the ground or in special teams, Arkansas turned the ball over 4 times, and that you said Sark didn’t have a problem with this defensive scheme when he was at Bama. Sure looks to me like his yards per passing attempt suggest otherwise.
I didn't ignore anything. I'm the one that keeps adding detail for context.
Growing up with Merle and Willie in heavy rotation in the playlist, I have never made "Pancho and Lefty" part of Merle's library. He sings less than one full verse... it's a GREAT song, but Merle is making an appearance on a Willie song.
Mitchell's drop falls on Mitchell. If it's a catchable ball, and if they can get both hands on the ball, it is on the WR.
Haha you’re dancing around. do you or don’t you acknowledge that Sark has a problem attacking defenses in the air who are playing 3 high safeties. He has to run it well in those games or we’ve been screwed
really? there were deep ball questions last year, same coming out of Rice. Then we had the Bama game and hit a few nice ones. Now that's our bread and butter?
Team just needs to be able to take what the defense gives them. J Brooks was running well, but Sark sorta did what he tends to do which is throw to set up the pass. The problem is, if the throws don't work he just keeps doing it.
Wyoming clearly kept many guys back which caused Ewers to dump off and made passing less successful. I'd say the answer was NOT just keep passing deep more.
