A four hour lab is bad if it's the only one you have. If you've got two of them, it's worse, and if you've got a senior design project to go along with it (like I did in my last semester), then things get really interesting.

I was an EE. At a Tier 1 school.

You call a four hour lab bad?
Man... I'm an EE, and every week we sit through and give 4 hours of presentations about the 20 hours of work we did that week.

Man, maybe I shouldn't have chosen the challenging program... lol

Haha--I think I prefer the one hour adv. labs, thanks. Although, this does make me thankful I'm not an architecture major. And all of my arch. friends have sound build studio in the spring, so I expect I'll see them never. And since I'm going to be in class 19 hours a week in the spring, the getting home before dark thing may not happen after all.

That said, people are pitiful. You can't call yourself a Longhorn football fan if you don't even know the name of the fucking stadium. Give me a break.

Kelly, that getting home before dark thing only happens in the late spring, you know, when there's more daylight. And it could always get worse - you could be an engineering major, with 4 hours labs that start at 6 pm.

How about a cookie then?

I did, but I haven't seen Wil online recently. I'll get some info from him next time I talk to that swinger.

Anyone notice D@C is back up? and kelly, i spend 10 to 12 hours on campus each day.

I figured that people would take that in the context of weekdays, but apparently I should have been more specific.

I would like for there to be one WEEKDAY this semester when I spent less than eight straight hours on campus. That, or I'd just like to get home before dark once.

You spend Eight hours a day on campus even on the weekends?

Just one day this semester I'd like to spend less than eight straight hours on campus. ONCE.

you gotta be a cocky bastard if you want to become pro anything.

That rant sucked, don't tell me you have never been too drunk and did something stupid, everyone has. All I got to say is, In Hoc.

If you are going to post old Aggie jokes and not even bother to remove all of the > symbols, then I have no choice but to delete it.

Yes, those are the traits you want in a starting quarterback, meekness and humbleness. Tools.

That Reggie McNeal is a wonderful human being. He's never done anything to seem arrogant or cocky. YFR.

Chris is a stand up guy, and had no part in Mack's (unfortunate) decision to intercept his questions. I thought it was a bad move on Mack's part as well, and I'm not sure why he did it. Another example of the game plan protecting a QB that doesn't need it. But here I am starting again on why our programs sucks, and I'm not going to do that.

Third time's a charm, Chivas.

I don't know the situations that you guys have encountered Chris Simms in. Perhaps all of you were drunk. But in the times I've been around him, he has always been nice and very polite to me. He's definitely very sure of himself and, at times, maybe a little cocky in some of his mannerisms, but no more so than most guys his age. All males in their 20s have a little bit of "arrogant asshole" going on from time to time, particularly in the presence of other males.

And by the way, any coach who has to "intercept" a question for his Star QB means one thing: Both are pussies. That was Simms' 16th interception!

Just because Simms acts like a classy guy at a press conference does not mean he is a classy guy. I've seen him in real life and he is an arrogant fuck who thinks the world owes him a favor because of his name.

And I have one more thing to say: Mack Brown is a fucking toolbag...any coach who won't let his "star QB" answer an honest question is a pussy.

And I'm drunk, so fuck you all.

Oh but Kelly, it's just too fun.

Hey Matt - the following are the teams listed ahead of Texas in the Sagarin ratings - VaTech, Miami, Oklahoma, FSU (what?), OhioSt, Oregon, Georgia, LSU, ISU, ND, NCSt, USC, AirForce, Kansas St, and Michigan. Even if ALL of those teams are better than UT (which is a whole different question), that still places Texas 16th ranking at 84.5 %. So, SOME people think UT is better than 85% of the country. But I'm sure that since Sagarin backs up my argument, it's invalid for some reason.

Which teams would you say are "in the hunt" for the national title?

As for Chris Simms, he's hardly an arrogant asshole. He's stood up after EVERY bad game, including and especially Colorado2, and taken FULL BLAME for the game he played. He's said that he needs to improve on this or that, and answered every question to the fullest extent. He's never pointed fingers or played the "what if" game. He's best friends with each of his recievers, and has formed a deep bond with three of his teammates (see the tatoos). Coach Brown has never had a bad word to say about his attitude, work ethic, desire to win or heart. If that's not enough for you, then you're just a bitter person who can't handle success for other people.

i wonder what trolls eat...do they drink beer?

Don't... feed... the... trolls...

Ashley:

And point out in any of my posts where I questioned what the "arrogant asshole" might do against Texas A&M? Read what I posted to Josh and try and refute some of it with something other than home team bias... actually better not, you'll just embarass yourself.

Josh, I think it's time to let him talk to himself. We'll let our team speak for itself when the "arrogant asshole" torches the Wrecking Crew next month. Again.

josh:

I never once said they "sucked the whole way" -- I simply pointed out that Texas being in the race for the National Championship unlike 85 other teams is nothing to brag about -- it wasn't earned anymore than Bowling Green's "race for the National Championship" would be. Texas played one above average team and got beat, that's that.

Better than 90% of the country? Is that based on anything other than the Biased Fan Top 25? They could very well PROVE LATER that they are better than 90% of the country, but they certainly haven't yet. Texas hasn't beaten a team higher than #62 in the Sagarin ratings (which actually takes into account strength of schedule instead of just W-L and conference favortism). So far they've beaten #62, #75, #79, #102, and #103 out of 115... Pretty easy to beat up on the lower half of the country. First time they play someone in the upper half (which granted WAS #3 OU) they get beat by double digits (I'd say 11, but OU gave them the last TD of the game, it was actually more of an 18 point loss, so I'll stick with "double digits"). Texas hasn't PROVEN anything. Like I said, they may very well be that good, but they haven't proven it yet.

None of the games you mentioned had ANY impact on Texas making it to the National Championship. Big games? Yeah... Important games? Yeah... But I think Simms' stats against Top 10 teams shows you how good he is in "big games".

And by the way, do you have a father?

Ashley:

He's in the public spotlight and he's an arrogant asshole -- he gets everything he deserves. If he were modest, I'd have no problem with him whatsoever (and probably would root for Texas when they played OU). He's just too easy to hate though.

As for not ever hearing Texas fans boo when an opposing player gets hurt -- you haven't been to the last few Big 12 Baseball Tournaments have you?
