  1. Past hour
  2. Yes! And it needs to be like when the did the scientologists with the text flashing "THIS IS WHAT THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE!"
  3. Apparently, there is some real buzz around Zuhn being moved to Center. Tarp offers his take, spoilered below. He does that whole write-up and fails to analyze the impact of having Crownover and Fatheree on the field at the same time. If they're rolling Fatheree out at RT, he's either been miraculously rejuvenated to the shining 18 YO recruit that he was, or he's about to set a record for sacks allowed at the P4 level. The idea of Reed having to throw more because Zuhn fucks up their running game at C is also extremely gruntling.
  4. "Gurriel crushed a 103.9 mph fastball from Miller into the left-field seats for a two-run homer in the eighth inning, tying the score at 5-all. It was the hardest-hit pitch for a homer since MLB started pitch tracking in 2008."
  5. Oh thank God. I regret the part I've played in this Glen Powel tangent. Agreed about Shaw. That dude has a very Alfred Collins-esque career where the talent and physical attributes were obviously there, but he never really did anything with them. If Baker is unlocking that potential then we are in great shape at DT in light of how the other transfers + January are doing. Fucking Arkansas. Can their medical staff have really missed that dude needed surgery? That seems shockingly incompetent, even for the pigs. One thing Bobby mentioned last night that I didn't see in his practice report - Arch is staying late with a group to run the offense even after the coaches leave. That has real "If you want to beat Ohio State, meet me here every night at 7 p.m." energy. I know we've heard a lot about Arch during camp, but it doesn't seem like he's been the focus. Even when IT/OTF are talking about the QBs, they're mostly talking about the battle for QB2. I assume no news is good news, and I love hearing about Arch's leadership. Ewers was great, but he never struck me as a "lead from the front" kind of QB. I think Texas is better when the guy under center shows people the way.
  6. This reminds Al of the good ol days, so cute.

  9. Sanchez has really improved his plate discipline this season. If he can get to be a 30 2B, 15-20 HR guy with around a .330 OBP, he's going to be really solid for us.
  10. NoCa(rolina). Wegmans is good in comparison but goddamn it sucks
  11. Lets never forget that Dusty Dvoracek once claimed a medical redshirt year for alcoholism, AFTER he was kicked off the team, for beating his best friend and roommate in the head with a baseball bat. Holy Shit, Hugh Freeze looks like hammered dogshit. No wonder that motherfucker was coaching from a Hospital bed, clearly he needed his scotch infused through an IV. This guy is transforming to George O'Leary before our very eyes.
  12. Yeah we've hit blastfurnace mode - now the question is how long into September does it go?
  13. This reminds me of those “returning starts” metrics and it’s like, returning crap is still crap.
  14. As written either both players or the second one and almost certainly the manager specifically because it was multiple players. Note that it doesn't say they "may" be ejected, it says they shall be. Agreed that the West champion and Florida are better, but Lamar and Eastbank are essentially equal. Eastbank won 7-5 then Lamar won 5-2.
  15. He had Sabonis in Sac, who is no slouch and garners plenty of attention from the defense. Sabonis is a top 20 player by most accounts, and yet Fox's shooting numbers have been bad to average at best for most of his career. That's not a great indicator for a guy who is 27. Some of that may be him trying to carry a mediocre team and shooting too much to overcompensate for the lack of talent and coaching around him though. However, it's tough to gauge how much better he can be in a system and organization that is considered to be top 5 versus bottom 5 in the league. I know the Spurs have taken guys like this and turned them into better shooters, fixing small things like elbow placement, release point, the way they jump and land, etc etc. The Spurs do that really well and tend to get the most out of their players, so maybe Fox will get a whole lot better. Betting on that growth isn't a bad idea, but if they are wrong it will be an expensive mistake.
  16. My personal interest level has dropped considerably the last couple of years due to nothing in particular. Maybe it's I'm getting old and the time zone differences for matches of significance are total shit. There's no set "popular season", but global interest usually picks up whenever one of the 10 million World Cups gets played or the Indian Premier League kicks off. Other big series that gain interest are things like The Ashes between England and Australia, India vs England tests, and the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (India v Australia). Basically unless it has England, Australia or India in it; no one gives a shit.
  17. Monday was certainly a welcome surprise. England had that thing in the bag at stumps on Sunday.
  18. Crime is a fat cankle
  19. Here's a link to a YT segment from Sooners Illustrated mods and insiders who have attended the practices and talked with coaches and those around the team. They're discussing their view on progress and questions so far:
  20. Hope he makes it here, and doesn't have to go to NFL Europe ... ... they cannot afford another Landwehr in Europe! (But if you do go, have a Plan for that, Marshall! Peace!) I may not survive this recruiting lull.
  21. You don't trust BB, OL coach extraordinaire?? You know how much his players rake in playing for the NFL right now?? it's what I hear over and over about the OL when I question it.. Meanwhile they tell us we are replacing 4 starters with guys who never have started..
  22. With OT being a priority, seems like a contingency option should be considered. Perhaps late risers will be evaluated. Will be interesting to see if alternative names crop up as time moves on if Lee looks to be unlikely.
  23. Chip on the shoulder? How about Boulder in the Belly?
  24. Where’s Slim Whitman when we need him?
