    Yeah.... no. Losing in the regional isnt our standard and isnt a badass season. Yes the future is bright, but a regional flameout was pathetic and we shouldve beaten UTSA at home even in the worst of scenarios. 

    A guy who couldn't play 'setting the standard' for guys who can... that's rich. 

    As for me, I tuned in the entire season, and watched us win a lot against a lot of great opponents. It was fun as hell. I can't control product on the field (my NIL donations, aside) so I enjoy what's enjoyable and I dont whine when things don't go my way.

  2. We just signed Higgins (WR Iowa St) to a fully guaranteed deal.

    First second-round pick to ever get a fully guaranteed deal.

    Im all for high risk/reward moves, and I think some of the extensions we signed recently are big on that, but I just don't see the reward here. Hopefully one of y’all can explain it to me.

  3. Cam Rising is medically retiring from football. His 8th year of eligibility was apparently in play but he is two years older than CJ Stroud, who has been to the NFL playoffs twice.

    Fare the well, we hardly knew ye

  4. Pretty sick to have to wait until May to lose a series... Schloss will help the boys make lemonade out of this, we'll bounce back.

    Also, for a team that "wasn't ready" for the SEC, the entire conference throws a digital-kegger any time we lose - that's respect.

    Did the Texans ever mount the head of that practice squad WR who ran the wrong route and obliterated Tank’s knee on a pike facing Kirby Dr?

    Oh, I thought we came down on Slowik's play call putting Tank in on goal line as the culprit... Im good with knots though. Hang everyone!

    Seems like the Lazy Eye checked out after Booker got drafted, and resolved to string together a bunch of singles. Probably the least exciting draft by a Houston playoff team in recent memory. Ersery is the only pick I liked but…can he play guard? 

    Understand where you're coming from but a few counterpoints:

    - Ersery is a tackle, he had a great day against Penn State's Top 5 EDGE. Draft profile says he could play guard but there's still IOL available in FA. He's our new tackle.

    - Did you see the WR corps we rolled out against KC and LAC? If Nico's the X, we just drafted our Y and Z starters for years to come, with Kirk there to allow them room to grow. And we replaced our KR.

    Some other picks are just SWARM guys. We want what SF has, a very tough group who beats up on others. Whether that pans out who knows.

    - Graham Maeetz is an A+ pussy. This one is no good.

    That feels a lot like a Dameon Pierce hype to get no production.  If they wanted a RB they should have gotten Skattebo, he’d be a legit #2 behind Mixon to bully a defense.

    But you want contrasting/complimentary backs, not two guys who do the same thing.

    Also word on Skatt is the skills won't translate when facing pro defenders. I think he'll do fine, but there are concerns.

  8. Just a heads up but on ESNPNNEWS it is whiffleball right now, then an hour of disc golf, then dodgeball, then air guitar competition! 

    Kinda sick. Whiffleball and Disc Goof played at the highest level are both very watchable. Not even August 8th.
