  1. Detective's curse. Focusing on the wrong thing. There are environmental things that obscure and distract, and before they can spend much time with him, they're called away with news on a lead they had been "hoping" would pan out.
  2. One of the hallmarks of fast food is reliability. Yeah we know if you go to a completely different area you might pay more due to taxes or supply differences, but anyone who has been in line behind a senior citizen screaming that their 55 cent coffee is now 58 cents knows how this is going to play out. For better or worse, some of their customers plan out their budgets including these things. This really only works if you're ordering via delivery service where you can see the price instead of committing to actually drive to the store. We've already accepted that menu prices are different via those services, so this wouldn't be a huge change. The amount of ire this is going to create is insane.
  3. Missouri just got a huge donation influx, with some of it ($12M) requested to be earmarked for NIL in couched terms. Link to local story
  4. Or to ruin a computer with a glass of J&B on the rocks?
  5. They also mentioned a Childs and Blair, I believe. No sign yet of Nauls, Palmer, Windows, or MacReady.
  6. I read this season as a sort of re-telling of the movie, except you replace idiotic guys with capable and determined women. This is how the story changes. It's not 1-1, of course, but it was a really great season.
  7. Yep, bad roster management to burn a redshirt year with next to no meaningful development in live play. Arnold barely threw the ball outside of the BYU game. Couple that with a rebuild along the line and who knows what you get next year.
  8. I think that should tell you about the staff's realistic opinion of their season next year. I'm glad they're not trying to blow smoke about how "we're in a position to win the playoffs every year" when that's not where the team is yet.
  9. Hawkins, Zurbrugg, Booty, with Hawkins being the likely second guy up. Agreed. I think Gabriel is absolutely the higher-floor choice and if they thought the pieces were there for a playoff appearance (Veteran OL, high-prod receivers, hyper disruptive DEs), then you maybe entertain Gabriel for his last year at the expense of Arnold. Given how things are in actuality, you have to trade one good year of Gabriel for potentially 2-3 high-ceiling years of Arnold developing alongside some of the young talent that's there.
  10. The hope was that Gabriel would be an undeniable NFL selection, and so would slide gracefully on to greener pastures.
  11. I've done a chuck roast before, basically treat it like burnt ends. It'll tear apart if you're not careful, but it's delicious.
  12. I'd say it's debatable. Definitely for bodies, but he wasn't ever pushing to contribute and hadn't been spoken of highly by those reporting on practices. He tried to transfer out in the middle of the season, I believe.
  13. It's very possible, but so far it's just one guy who appeared to be in a great position and decided to leave. By all accounts, it was the family pulling strings. If we see more this year, or a continuation into next year, I'll absolutely call it a systemic issue. The larger issue might be that Bedenbaugh has struggled to recruit top-end talent to insulate against this sort of risk. They need to get him a ride-along coach for his visits or something.
  14. I mean... There's a reason I don't do it anymore, but it's not because it tasted bad.
  15. I wear these. Get mistaken for the Hey Dude things all the time, but whatever. Bought a pair at the beach a few years ago and I've bought two other pair since then.
  16. Either Missouri or Oklahoma, based on comments from his "advisor" in the process. Probably Missouri, unless this dude reached out to BV directly before entering the portal.
  17. I think Jones and Valai (if you don't count Wells as an analyst) are the only ones without ties to one or the other. People in the building seem really high on JJF, and I hope that's true because best case scenario, Littrell is here for two years and gets poached for a HC job somewhere.
  18. Half the room was hurt, also, so no chance to get the freshmen any snaps to see how they worked out.
  19. Agreed. Love Bedenbaugh as a coach and developer, but something has to change with the ability to land and retain top-level OL. If he can have a partner on staff that can act as support for him, that's the best of both worlds. I had hopes that Murray might be that guy since RB recruiting is historically a smaller pool and can be locked up early.
  20. Bass is more of an Athlete pick, if I'm understanding his recruitment. I think it was a panic response to the Texas game from last year when it became glaringly obvious there were zero QBs on the roster that could do the job at even a replacement level. The Ezukanma thing reads like a guy who was on the bubble and could possibly follow Lebby to secure a spot. No actual knowledge, though.
  21. Having to exit, go through the draconian security that takes forever, waste two hours, and then return to my gate that was two down from my arrival gate? Yeah, that's Frankfurt to me. Plus, I always enjoy explaining in GermEnglish why a Kindle isn't a laptop, but isn't a phone.
  22. I'm keeping the carcass from my family's thanksgiving, and making a turkey of my own when I get back into town. The first friends gettogether after Thanksgiving always means gumbo.
