    Never have I seen a more sound secondary. I’m sure having Caleb Downs helps, but fuck. No busted coverages, no one ever wide open, anything that could be considered open would have minimal YAC. The very definition of a “Rolling Ball of Butcher Knives.” CHIEF
  2. Ryan Day went and got an upgrade at DC. The Ohio St. secondary is absolutely smothering. They have more WR talent and still have a better secondary. CHIEF
  3. Does anyone know if Bob Cole has been hit with a full beer can yet? CHIEF
  4. Not even touched. Wow. CHIEF
  5. What an insufferable cunt. Can we at least have one board without CR dribble. It’s just football for Christ’s sake. CHIEF
  6. For sure. I don’t keep up much, but they are apparently the number one team at their level. Predicted to be the national champion. I think they have won a couple of national championships while climbing the ladder, in different classifications. The kicker that won the game was from Crawford. Nearly a 1A school. We drive through there coming to Austin for home games. CHIEF
  7. CHIEF Jr. called me from the bar. We are both Tarleton alumni. That was hilarious. The newest stadium might hold 20k people. CHIEF
  8. A pretty good game for the Friday night before the first big Saturday. I think I have watched Colgate vs. Delaware before. CHIEF
  9. Called my uncle today, Mom's baby brother. He got COVID, on a trip to San Miguel de Allende. Asked him what precautions he was taking. He said he quarantined himself on his bass boat. His biggest on the day was a 6.85 pounder. CHIEF
  10. There is so much truth to this. For my son, it had to be ABET certified, a good value, and a track record of putting people in the industry with good companies. A bunch of his class works at Lockheed, Firefly, and SpaceX. If all applicants meet the same qualifications, it comes down to the interview, and sometimes their job experiences, in college, and how long they stayed with that company. If your kid can find a job that is somehow related to their degree, and they work there the whole time they are in college, they will probably get the job over someone with a degree from a higher tier college. They will also leave college with little or no debt. CHIEF
  11. Swisher Sweet grape flavor. CHIEF
  12. We have a ton of retired folks. The title companies around here call the mortgage companies and verify over the phone. They won't hang up until making sure nothing goes wrong. It may delay funding a day, but it is totally worth it. CHIEF
  13. So, those of you who have kids that didn't get into UT, did your kid get a rejection letter? CHIEF Jr. was a week and a half, in at UTD before he got an acceptance letter to UT-Austin. Of course we already had sunk the cost into UTD, so there wasn't any way we were gonna pull him out. I didn't get to read the letter, so not sure if it was for that fall semester, or that he could enroll in the spring. He missed the top ten of his class by like seven people, but had a stellar SAT score. His professors at UTD, in engineering, and math were all foreign. I think everyone in the Russian professors class failed, as his English was very subpar.It tanked his first semesters GPA enough that he would not be able to transfer, and that was all she wrote. CHIEF
  14. I had a 1982 Ford Bronco, four speed manual, with a 351 and headers. At Tarleton, you had to cross Lillian Street to go to different classes on campus. I always liked to goose the throttle from a stop sign, turn the key off, but leave the clutch engaged. I would roll up about 25 feet from the crosswalk full of people and turn the key back on. The backfire that came out was about like "Smokey" going off after a touchdown. I can't imagine the trouble I would get into for that kinda shit today. CHIEF
  15. I'm quite the bbq snob. Hard 8 has a narrow window at lunch from about 11am-1pm, and dinner from about 6-8pm. I always make sure that I am going in either of those two time slots. Purple Goat has an 18 oz. Wagyu New York Strip that is really good, as tender as any ribeye. I haven't been there in a few years but I remember it only being about $23. CHIEF
  16. Well, I finally got my @Cajun starter kit. I'm a one man operation now. CHIEF
  17. Finally got to try Dayne's Craft BBQ. It was really good, but not stellar. I wouldn't drive from Granbury and wait in line for hours. We got there at 10:30 and the line wasn't bad. I would have been pissed if it would have been a couple of hours. Everything was cooked perfectly, and was plenty moist, but neither the brisket or ribs were seasoned heavy enough. Minimal salt, and no coarse ground pepper. The bark was lacking. $280 for five people. The sides were really good. TM gave them high marks for consistency. The ribs were better than even the moist brisket. It lacks consistency, but I would take Hard 8 in Stephenville, if you hit it at a peak time, when it is hitting on all cylinders over Dayne's. Salted nicely, with big coarse cracked pepper and great bark. CHIEF
  18. Shit, that post was over two years ago. They are married up and pregnant with their second kid, or they have already turned into bitter cat ladies. CHIEF
  19. This popped up on my Youtube feed. Kinda got choked up. Just the love and innocence of a child. I used to do this with CHIEF Jr. as my father had done it with me: CHIEF
  20. Or the Kdub. CHIEF
  21. This is why I posted it. There are some smart sumbitches in here, with first hand knowledge, that would know what is true or not. CHIEF
  22. Here is Lavrov discussing the reason Russia invaded Ukraine. I believe it was a travesty and a mistake, but Ukraine and the West have made mistakes as well. If Lavrov is correct, that Russian language is completely banned in Ukraine, that would be like the US banning Spanish being spoken in South Texas, which has had Spanish speaking citizens for a couple of centuries. He also brings up the 1999 OSC Summit, where NATO promised not to expand east, and broke the promise. Not stanning for Russia, glad they are getting this asskicking. If the Baltics, Poland, and Eastern Europe wouldn't have joined NATO, they would have been invaded again and back under Russian control. CHIEF
  23. The huge outlier is the pandemic. House prices almost doubled between 2019 to 2020-2021, in my market. Free government cheese, 3.5% interest rates, and reduced expenses of not showing up to your job every day artificially inflated the market. We are seeing a reckoning. My mother has been a realtor for over 50 years, and has still never seen anything like that time period. I'm thinking about building spec homes again. They will probably be on sub $20k lots, water available, aerobic septic, barndominium kits on slabs, and spec interiors. I can do this, in Granbury for under $200k with not much margin, but they will all be sold before I complete them. Not something I have to do, I can wait it out for the first movement of interest rates decreasing. But, to be honest, I'm bored, and young couples, around here, need a break. CHIEF
  24. Saw yesterday where the median home price is 57% higher than the national median income. I am out of pocket right now, so I can’t look up the article. But that is the all time record. CHIEF
  25. Never took CHIEF Jr. to Disney, the closest we got was Universal Studios before the Rose Bowl, specifically to talk shit to all the folks in USC gear. CHIEF
