  1. I wouldn’t draft Flores even if I was picking for an enemy. I can’t see that guy ever making it to the bigs. I assume Spencer goes later because of the injury and lack and leverage.
  2. The Lost World is the worst of the 7 and it isn’t even close. If I was a gangster or an emperor, I’d torture my enemies by making them watch the last hour of that dogshit with their eyelids glued open.
  3. Okay, I guess I have whoever you’re referring to on ignore, and the notion that you’re addressing just confirms that decision for me.
  4. Right, but who on earth is saying that? Whoa.
  5. You fucking people. The worst kolache I ever had was so good I couldn’t stand it. It’s like tex-mex or pussy. Get a grip. I knew a “well ackshually” pedant would show up before too long. Also, what is the old Czech lady usually wondering about? Current events? The price of tea in China? Her best friend from junior high’s whereabouts?
  6. Hey man, what the fuck is your problem? He’s General about his dates and timelines and Specific about given events. Pretty straightforward shit.
  7. Tech’s OOC is also dickless this year. UAPB, Kent State and then Oregon State. OSU is a shell of itself, Kent State is likely still the worst FBS team even with Missouri State and Delaware joining the ranks. UAPB is irredeemable and an FCS school. The Big 12 is of course going to be its own unique self again, with a ton of parity. I still think the talking heads are overrating Utah by stating that they’re a borderline top 25 team. Maybe with Dampier they’re a force again. Tech goes to Utah, off, to UH, then Kansas and to ASU. If you told me Tech would go 4-0 in that stretch, I could believe it. If you told me they could 0-4, I could believe that as well. I think that stretch defines their season. If they’re 4-3 after the first seven, I can see the usual Tech/Maguire mediocrity setting in and, BAM!, 7-5. If they come out 6-1, the rest of the schedule looks more forgiving and they’re probably playing for the conference title. Outside of Baylor, I will literally be cheering for anyone else to beat Tech to win that conference.
  8. The worst food poisoning I’ve ever had came a Shipley’s chocolate filled doughnut. Took one bite and thought “that tasted weird” and threw the rest away. That one bite was all it took. At one point it felt like someone took a sledgehammer to my kidneys.
  9. You can say all of that and then the rest of the world will continue to see anything outside of FBS in college football as D2 or worse. FCS isn’t D2? No one gives a fuck. There are a few pedants here and some guys like you that went to one of those schools who care and then everyone else doesn’t give a shit and it’s muddying the thread.
  10. Not a lot of Shipley’s in Boston.
  11. Bobby confirming the Cooper buzz, and thoughts on the always present “just break the fucking bank, bro!!??!” approach.
  12. Sorry to break it to you about not having a sense of humor and all. Everyone on the planet thinks they have one, so it’s always rough for someone when they discover the truth. In any event, continue to enjoy the high comedy of the likes of futureman and New Yorker comics.
  13. I watched this game on Thursday night in San Marcos last year (I think?). I didn’t realize the direct implications for Texas at that time, but it was a fun game and I thought Texas State should have won. This year, man, ASU is loaded and underrated. If TState gives them a real game, I’m going to assume the Big 12 is absolutely wide open.
  14. If you find that idiot amusing, you have a bland sense of humor. There’s no way to spin the idiocy to any moderately intelligent poster, so I am not sure what in the fuck you are attempting here. Congrats on being a humorless square.
  15. I’ve been a few times. It’s cool. I would recommend it to anyone who has a chance to go. We’re about to do Sweet Caroline and that’s what my baseball buddies are here to see. Hell of a game too (1-0 sox vs rays), so that doesn’t hurt. Red Sox fans rate way above Yankees, Phillies and Dodgers fans when I’ve visited. Below Cubs fans, though. Also, fuck Cardinals and Rangers fans.
  16. Back to the “keeping a scorecard discussion”, I’m at Fenway today with my 3 boys. Sitting immediately in front of me is this guy. Notice the empty seat next to him.
  17. You fucking clowns are wasting space here by feeding the known troll.
  18. Bobby’s update today is worth the read. He continues to be very bullish on Texas adding 2-3 more key recruits before August 1. He seems convinced that Sarkisian has a plan and that various other programs, less so. Echoes of the past cycles, but with different dynamics. Some programs have clearly gone from the pendulum swinging away from their bags and being generally poor to now just saying “fuck it, make it rain” without any regard for roster impacts in classes behind or after this one. He also mentioned needing another Safety for the first time. He also set the expectation that he still thinks Texas is going to get another big time DT. I can’t even remember who is still on the radar and uncommitted. Finally, and this is probably just wishful thinking, but having read he and Gerry for years, I think he’s got an insight to the Cooper recruitment that is giving him a lot of confidence. Someone who urgently needs the approval of various ne’er-do-wells on this forum should C&P it for everyone. @BurntOrange&White
  19. Owwww. That really hurt! I’m going to have a lump there you idiot. Who throws a shoe? Honestly!
  20. Ha, no. I ad-libbed once I saw your post. He’s Milton for me now, for reasons stated.
  21. What in the hell does Tom Herman have to do with any of this?
  22. Texas basically handed him to UH. They shit all over ATM to him and his camp, then soft-pedaled being able to bring him in for a visit. I assume they’re looking at UH as one of several quality development programs that they can prey upon when they feel like it in the future. Fritz is an excellent coach and it looks like he and his staff can develop guys. I’m all for it. UH has been a shitheel school to Texas for the past 60+ years, including recently fucking with the plans to add a UT campus to Houston. Never mind bleachergate and all of the dirty shit they’ve always done. I’ll find it very fulfilling if Texas feeds off of their success with regularity.
  23. I was looking at the mock draft (1st round) from a scout on Twitter this morning. Who are our guys that are expected to go from the HS ranks? Cunningham and Fein? He had them like 15 and 16 overall. I lost the post or I’d link it. Also, Liam Doyle has absolute bust written all over him. This dude had the Angles taking him 2nd overall. “Yeah, that’s about right.” I thought.
  24. He’s Milton with the red stapler until he does something at the MLB level to reverse out the dickless idiocy he’s displayed thus far.
  25. The sociopathic sadistic side of me, which is admittedly substantial, is rooting for Matthews to surprise everyone and pick SCar or Miami. The self-preserving side of me that really wants to fucking win at things needs Matthews to Texas. I am not sure how I lose today.
