  1. Don't be willfully obtuse (I say that with love). 95% of craps players are betting that the point comes before the seven, so they're rooting against the seven. If you are betting that the seven comes first, then you win when 95% of the table loses. I don't know what you consider "rooting", but you're just using semantics to hide behind.
  2. I never get tired of Herman ... "I love you, and I can not wait to watch you play." Dude just gets it.
  3. hahahaha dammit I"m an idiot. Dennis Green at ASU, obviously.
  4. Winning cures everything. 9-7, playoff berth with what he's already got on the roster is VERY attainable. His upside is the Rams this year (also with a young coach). Hire a big-time DC (wade phillips?) and this isn't the craziest thing I"ve ever seen. Better than trying to lure Dungy away from AzSt or giving Hue fucking Jackson another run, for example.
  5. In no particular order ... LJH, Omenihu, Anderson. Been said already upthread that the really cool thing right now is that we have backups to actually fill some of these spots, unlike the last goddamn decade. Coburn fills in neatly for Nelson. There will be a dropoff, but it's not a guy playing out of position. The LB and CB positions are similar. There will be a dropoff, but there are highly-rated guys ready to stand in. LJH and Omenihu are difference-makers, and there's just no way around the fact that when NFL talent leaves, you feel it. So that's my answer. Agree with Beck and Watson as well. Those two guys are cogs in this wheel - Beck made so much of the offense go beyond just his offensive output. He stabilized a position that was a literal black hole for years. Watson didn't fumble. Period, end of story. Kirk Johnson, to the bat phone - this is how you get on the field next year.
  6. Lots of guys break off big runs that aren't considered burners. Angles, second-level blocking, etc all play a part. #statingtheobvious.
  7. seems like that one part should be attached to that other part.
  8. The feeling of a good range session can last all day ... feels good man.
  9. wow. I've never seen that report. Just the executive summary is brutal.
  10. Some solid production out of a pretty low-ranked class. D'onta and Armanti. Heard. LJoe and Leonard contributed. Poona is probably the gem of that class behind D'Onta. Beck did WORK this year and last. I'd argue that Elijah Rodriguez and Jason Hall both outplayed their ranking here.
  11. Also, Fireman Dryerman -http://firemandryerman.com/. I can confirm that he's really still a firefighter, and does this on his off days. He now employs several current firefighters to handle the workload. They also do minor dryer appliance repair (fixed a lightbulb for us, and reattached a wonky front panel). I still think vent cleaning is a strange thing to specialize in, but they do it as well as any. I'm sure the georgetown guys do great work - just adding to the list here.
  12. Matt at South Austin Irrigation is your guy - https://www.southaustinirrigation.com/. He's done my tuneups three years running, and added a zone for me last year at a reasonable price (about $1000, but did it without having to run new wires, and squeezed things into weird spaces). His team are top notch, and incredibly easy to work with. The irony is that we're putting in a pool now, which has completely torn up the zone he added for me. That zone never put a drop of water on a piece of grass - lol. Oh well - he's going to get all the repair work in about four months, too :).
  13. ed verdad. muy verdad. Streamsong Red.

  15. Some gold in this thread already. I'll second The Doors and Aerosmith (and I like Aerosmith, but most of it really is quite shitty). I"ll add Nine Inch Nails, although "great" can be debated they got a lot of run in the 90's and 00's, and I never got it.
  16. I can't bear to read this thread anymore ...
  17. Where is this magical place that ER is easy to find and cheap? It's neither, in Austin.
  18. That McKenna 10 is EXCEPTIONAL, especially at that price.
  19. I've actually never asked her the question in that context. I think the answer is both, tbh. But I know that since the injury, her goals in life were VERY clear. She's committed to returning to the universe what she was given.
  20. She is indeed the toughest person I know. You want to know the best part? She's now a nurse, in the ICU that took care of her (Houston area).
  21. My cousin had an open radius-ulna compound fracture, in BOTH ARMS simultaneously (yes, you're reading that right). Gymnastics fall from the uneven bars. AFter everything was set, she developed compartment syndrome. Miserable, something I wouldn't wish on an enemy. She had to have both arms with the wounds left open for like, two weeks, so the doctors could immediately address any infection/gangrene and ensure the mylein (I think that's right - the muscle sheath) was healing correctly. Also, so much infection. So much. Not sure that's what Alex Smith is battling specifically, but compound fractures suck in general. More power to him, that's for sure.
  22. that's the intel I'm looking for :). thanks.
  23. Forward2me is pretty clear that they're going to inspect your purchases and make sure it's legal to ship to your final destination. Do you use them to send you alcohol in Texas?
  24. A fair point. The ram is straight from the PCMR builds, so I"m certain I'm not the first one to be using it. But we'll see ... not a difficult return if something is borked.
