  1. Past hour
  2. oh and even if you did all that right... you still don't necessarily know what a guy's assignment was unless you knew the play call
  3. I don't care what Campbell thinks. Buying these players might make them believe they're gonna be Bama, but the reality is they're just dressing up as Auburn for Halloween every cycle without the championships. They'll get 5-7 mostly 4* recruits, with maybe one or two 5*, but the rest will be nothing but 3* filler, so I don't know why anyone thinks Campbell will be making much of a difference just because he's spending their budget on one-two 5* every cycle. Good for them for making the top 25 in recruiting at #23 (one spot ahead of SMU) so far. They have one 5* and four 4* recruits and fourteen 3*. I don't know how many more they plan to take, or if they'll just go portal heavy, but then what about the portal? More money spent. Being a billionaire is great I'm sure, but overspending on a recruit like Ojo who is a project is retarded. 2027 they have one 5*, a top fifty 4*, one top 200 4*, and a 3*. Drops will happen, risers will come, so already spending like that is dumb af. I get it, the tech grads/fans here love Lubbock, but the rest of us who graduated from Texas or are Texas fans and attend games, did it for not just academic reasons, but Austin, which sells itself. This is what Campbell doesn't understand. Most of these recruits don't even know about Lubbock, don't care about Lubbock, or don't want to sign some ridiculous contract binding them to a school and/or team they may not want to be at in the middle of nowhere who play no one, hence why the top 10 teams in recruiting each year have between three to six 5* and fiftenen to twenty 4* with around six 3* on average, and it's always the same teams, with the outlier here or there (aggy). Campbell thinks their money can get them there, but he's being delusional. We know this. Tech fans on this board know it. If they make the playoffs, that's great for them, but once they're seeded against a team stacked with damn near 4/5* talent, they're going to look out of place and get embarrassed. Just like SMU and Boise, and ASU before we started getting players hurt/injured in the game for their "miraculous comeback." The ceiling is the playoffs, not championships, because that will absolutely never happen as long as the Texas', Bama's, Oregon, Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Georgia's of the world still exist. But Cam Skataboo was a fucking beast.
  4. Ray Rice another one with some similarity.
  5. Those cessnas wont do shit against a bunch of drones buzzing around like wasps. More likely to shoot each other. Be like Galaga up in that bitch.
  6. And fuck them whenever he wanted?
  7. If he doesn't receive a special Nobel Peace Prize, Trump is going to attack with carrier and air forces. Preferably against countries that can't do anything about it.
  8. I think that me going to Catholic schools, including a Jesuit school, somewhat insulated me from that. Not that I didn't see/experience racism and such - dude, it was Texas in the 70s-80s -- but because in my tighter circle, it not only wasn't tolerated, it was expressly taught AGAINST. My handful of classmates who were more openly racist actually stood out. And, we had scholarship students, and minorities, and they were generally treated well and well-regarded (again, sure, there was a divide between the really rich and snooty and the rest of us, but that was asshole-based, not race-based). So, as much as I was exposed to the full world, had family on both sides of the border, grew up among oilpatch types, etc., I was also pretty sheltered, and not only was I not really exposed to the worst impulses of the GOP, I was actively indoctrinated against them, by many people who were also Republicans. I was sheltered, had a small sample-size, etc. When I got to UT, I got to see more of the broad entitled rich white kid dynamic, and it did indeed start to open my eyes. And let's not forget that the Republican party in Texas actually pushed back against some of this nativist shit. I actually remember a meeting back when GWB was governor, and a guy showed up with a whole anti-immigrant screed (that would be moderate in MAGA world today). He was told to GTFO, in pretty plain terms. BUT, the precinct chair explained to me that those assholes had started showing up a few years back, and they were going to keep coming back. He was right.
  9. I had never had a cavity in 46 years. I went to the dentist. Said he found a cavity. He left the room and the DA shook her head and quietly said "you dont have a cavity."
  10. My buddy sent me a photo he took with Valtteri this morning at a free bike he had on S. 1st. I couldn't go because of a dental appt, and my boys wanted to go but had work and classes. Looked like it was aight. Apparently VB was giving people mullet haircuts after the ride, so they got that goin' for 'em. There's also an AM/Glenfiddich event sometime Saturday. You have to register and then you might get lucky and be sent an invite. https://www.astonmartinf1.com/en-GB/Glenfiddich-Paddock-After-Dark
  11. Goddamn, those HOCO's were fun as fuck. I have zero interest in planning one, but i'll damn sure play!
  12. When we retake power from the nazis, the nazis in Israel need to be our next target.
  13. Big news!!! Made the last payment on ole Sparkle Cake today!! paid off just in time to take delivery of my new truck at the end of November. Signed papers on a 2026 Kenworth t680.
  14. Ooooooooooooh @capnamerca !!! Come on down!
  15. 2 pages in and not one reference to the multiple pictures of the infamous Bob’s carrot. What has this site become?
  16. "Covert" CIA action - what do you mean "covert"? Does Venezuela not get the NYT? Or just another round of bullshit propaganda. Got it.
  17. Same. Being a VH fan has sucked for the past... oh, 40 years or so. We're, like, the Mariners fans of rock and roll
  18. The fact that a "cabinet bible study" meeting even exists should be cause for concern. Their "Christianity" is so fucking performative.
  19. ☝️ Most of us have takes on this team that aren't worth flushing if I'd shat them out. It's a combination of not being arsed enough to care to learn enough about the game of football to have an opinion worth a dang, being too lazy to review the game tape if you did have the knowledge, and being drunk and/or too emotionally invested to look at it objectively even if ya did have the knowledge and took the time. It's frothing at the mouth, screaming at the walls, and just generally venting frustration that we actually lost two games. So... yeah. What gives, @Park Gothic?
  20. I recognize her now....
  21. I was super confident we got Florida at a horrible time for them last season. It takes a lot out of a team to get on a plane and go into a different time zone. If you add that up with other timing considerations, I believe it can be a real factor. I loved USC over Michigan last weekend. Put them in a bowl game at a neutral site and I think its totally different.
