  1. How Texas attacked them is exactly how my daughter's team lost in the playoffs. The team we played served our other OH 29 times and she mentally folded. We are big for high school and go 6'3. 6'3, 6'2, and 6'1 at our middle/RS rotations but the ball was out of system the entire time, so the game fell on two players and they adjusted defensively. Wisky is like us, big, slow, and terrible OOS.
  2. I am largely in agreement with you Jimmy, but I think you are way off base on how rational you think the American public is. The Consumer Confidence Index is its about as useful as the polling since Trump has been in the picture. Tons of people who vote for that dude don't participate in those things. 2016 and 2020 shoulda told ya.
  3. Lol. Your income has tripled because you no longer work entry level jobs. However, young people entering the market are making what, roughly 12% more than that job payed decades ago while trying to buy goods that have doubled. Of course you can find a 2 bedroom in Houston under 2k. If you want to lower your life expectancy you can find one for under 1k. We are talking in decent ares. Yes, 25 year olds aren't buying loaded Suburbans but a KIA Telluride is 42-55k as well. The point is there are swaths of people who know little to nothing about politics/economics but are upset with the high cost of living and expect the current president to do something about it. How the hell do you think MAGA got into office in the first place? He ran on draining the swamp and lowering costs for the layman. A hell of a lot of stupid people turned out to vote for that clown, and not all of them are Trumpers.
  4. Jimmy don't be obtuse. Sure Biden isn't the one responsible for long term inflation but people are struggling just the same. People aren't breaking down the numbers YOY. They are simply just unhappy with the current state of things. Not everyone is a UT grad out there. I am surrounded by Repubs and I hear the same rhetoric, but I also hear the youngs complaints as well.
  5. No it's not. Maybe I am off on what you are saying, but are you saying that MAGAts are the ones with deep economic pessimism? If you are then I say you need to hit the streets more. My father-in-law likes to dump their unwanted items on us. I am currently in possession of a 20 year old Suburban that they dropped off on our doorstep(my wife will never say no to her dad). Since they bought it brand new I have the original sticker for it. Fully loaded for its time. 46k sticker. Right now a 24 High Country Burban is 92k, and that's not even 4x4 or 3/4 ton like my old Burban is. Literally doubled in price in 20 years. Incomes haven't doubled in that time frame. Most of us here are olds. We own our houses, have solid wages, and thus are somewhat disconnected with the poors. However, the younger crowd is really feeling it. I own a house where the going rent rate is double what the mortgage is. Google a decent 2bdroom apt. 2k+ in the Houston area. My daughter is 15, young for my age, but talking to people my age I know who's kids have long since left the nest, they are a couple years out of college and still on the payroll. https://www.fredechevrolet.com/VehicleDetails/new-2024-Chevrolet-Suburban-2WD_High_Country-HOUSTON-TX/5732796150
  6. Just lets you know there is a whole lot more going on other than "running the country like a business". Blows my mind. You know what's funny though? 2020 was a complete shitshow. Both sides of the aisle can agree on that. Go talk to someone you know that is a Trumper about it. You will be in full agreement of how bad a year it was right up until you remind them that their boy was the overseer. I shit you not. Trumpers act like Biden was in office for Covid.
  7. Even at this level they take the same type photos they do at 12u lol.
  8. Videos not photos, and the whole pack is readily avail.
  9. Man, trying to watch my daughter play and this at the same time was difficult. I thought my wife was gonna kill me. They had this playing on a tv I could see through a window at the gym we were at. What a great game. I thought we were going to bow out after how we looked against them earlier in the season. Damn solid performance from the girls!!
  10. Applewhite was an asshole and that's straight from guys in the LR. So I give Simms a pass especially how he was treated. Also to the guys rolling their eyes about the discussion. It's essentially the off season. We got a damn month to fill. I can assure you that there are a ton of curious Coeds who "want to know" so you may be wrong.
  11. Yes I do. The more receivers you spread out the easier it is to see what the defense is in. There is a reason the game has evolved past the fullback. We were very stubborn offensively back in those days. Very. See Vince 03-early 04. We scored 0 points with Ced Benson in the backfield vs OU. 0! Not sure if you've ever played QB but a lot of QBs are following the route with their eyes, so they throw to the spot the receiver will be in and there is a defender sitting on the route ahead. Same thing happened to Quinn last week. The easy solution is to throw routes to the outside where the read is cleaner and/or put more receivers out there and that forces box guys out and prevents them muddying the waters. You can keep Ced in and go 4 wide, and then send Ced out in the flat which pulls a backer with him. Either way, we were always slow to evolve on offense which is why we got our ass handed to us vs Stoops every year. Too easy an offense to diagnose. Regardless, this game was on the coaches. We had an advantage at receiver. A big one. Sometimes you have to take what is available. We needed to see how good their 3rd and 4th DBs were. Just a dumb gameplan from Texas there. After the last Simms turnover we go 5 wide and get a wide open BJ up the seam. Then what do we do after that? You guessed it, go right back to what wasn't working. Punt, FG, missed FG, FG. Then when the game is pretty much over on our last drive we go 5 wide again and score another TD. I get blaming Simms but you had an advantage and didn't use it. Then Ced goes out giving you all the excuse in the world to use that advantage and you still stubbornly didn't use it.
  12. You SHOULD go back and watch it. How we remember it when we were emotional and how we will see it now is totally different. Watching it again it was a total team loss. Especially knowing what I know now. For example Roy Williams just didn't always play hard. A lot of loafing from him over the years. As good as he was he could've been so much better. The defense let us down as did the defensive gameplan. On offense we had the weapons to spread teams out but we trotted out a fullback quite a bit. Majors first TD was 5 wide, and we should've been in that look a lot from the outset. Maybe Simms would've been better not playing football in a phone booth. Too many FGs. We couldn't convert once we got inside the RZ. Major missed a couple throws and we fumbled one that we recovered too. The easy move is to just blame Simms, and while he deserves his share for sure, we sucked all the way around in this game.
  13. Again, we were aggy with Applewhite starting, but we beat OU so. One thing I have learned about football is that 9 times out of 10 the guy NOT starting is exactly where he should be with all things being equal. Only time that seems to consistently not be true is when the guy not starting is a freshman or the like. Also, we all loved roll left but that was a 5 loss team. Oh and its John Blake.
  14. Easy to play well vs OU when you already lost 2 games, you've Ricky Williams in the backfield, and John Blake on the headsets across the field. Then you run it back vs a coach in their first season once again having no pressure on you because you'd already lost twice prior to the cotton. Lol
  15. To me they were a lot like Thompson-Card except a higher tier. One could look better than the other in relief but as soon as you gave him the reigns the flaws would come out. Chris' problem was the lack of mobility and lack of touch at times. Major just couldn't get the ball where he needed to when it mattered but he was gritty. Neither one was going to win us 12 games.
  16. I still don't get y'all with Applewhite. Everyone liked Major but the idea he would've gotten it done had Simms just gotten out of the way to me is mind boggling. Major struggled just as much as Simms did just in different ways.
  17. I see what you did there and I love it!
  18. It's all fine from behind. It's all good with a hood. No big task with a mask. With no light you just might. With the blinds closed I'd hit these hoes. You get the picture.
  19. This right here. Jimbo, much to the entertainment of Longhorns abound, fleeced aggy for 90 while still churning out the same 8-4 average they always have. One could argue Sark has vasty outperformed his contract when you look at the median. Man deserves to be paid. Give him a 4 yr but at the top of the market and reevaluate then. Most importantly, pay Get in The Mother Fucker, and all the other assistants who matter so we can keep the train going. Make sure the only way those guys get paid more elsewhere is for a HC job. High pay but keep it around 4 years. That way we can afford the buyout if anyone goes south.
  20. I quoted myself because Seven Win Steve who was recently dubbed 12 fucking win Steve has now graduated to Playoff Steve. Pay this fucking man!
  21. Exactly. Pay the man, but especially make sure his assistants get paid. You don't wanna get poached because you were cheap. It's one thing to be UH and lose your coaches for better jobs but we are the better job.
  22. My cock has been rock hard for way longer than 4 hours and I am not calling anyone. Fuck yeah!
