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.”

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.

Didn't take long for fascism to render them incompetent.
Colorado defense just got flat run over into the end zone.
What an insufferable cunt. Can we at least have one board without CR dribble.
It’s just football for Christ’s sake.

Congrats! That's gotta be the biggest win in program history.
Edit: I was texting a buddy who graduated there in the early 90s during OT. He's at a bar in FW and was frustrated because he couldn't find the game on one of their TVs.
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 Jr. called me from the bar. We are both Tarleton alumni. That was hilarious. The newest stadium might hold 20k people.

A pretty good game for the Friday night before the first big Saturday. I think I have watched Colgate vs. Delaware before.

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.

Ain't that the truth. One reason we're really trying to let him figure out where he's going to love being and get involved academically and socially. Some of the smartest, best, and most successful rads I work with did their undergrad at places like Angelo State, Tech, and even LSU.

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.

So they are, in fact, just cigars with aggy logo and 12th man band on them, and sold in branded boxes.
Which company does third party branded cigars?
Swisher Sweet grape flavor.

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.

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.

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.

I’m far from a bbq snob but Hard 8 hasn’t been good in 20 years. I’d rather go to the Purple Goat and get a burger than give Hard 8 another try.
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.

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.

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.

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:

Russian isn’t banned in Ukraine. Ukrainian is the only official state language and media, official communications, elections, and state institutions are required to use Ukrainian. Russian citizens must renounce Russian citizenship and accept Ukrainian to publish books in Russian. These laws were in place before the full-scale invasion but not before the 2014 invasion.
Russian books and media cannot be imported from Russia, Belarus, or occupied territories and post-Soviet Russian music and entertainment can’t be performed unless the reformers have condemned the invasion. This is because Russia uses information and culture as a weapon. Important to note that the most strident restrictions only came after the 2022 invasion.
Everything Lavrov says is a lie, so it’s not really helpful to engage or respond to it. You can’t address the complaints because they are made up.
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.

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.

Somewhere you have to factor in the fact that during those 40 years builders started building McMansions instead of two and three bedroom houses - because no one would buy them. Everyone can afford the houses that I grew up in, but who the hell wants to live in a house with two or three bedrooms and one or two baths?
I totally get the tiny house trend. And happiness is being able to meet your needs and still do fun things after your nut is paid for - and not go deeply into debt. Not needing a fortune in income just to meet your basic food and shelter needs (because of self-inflicted over-purchasing) is far from impossible if you set your goals more realistically.
It is interesting that the older I get - having things that used to be seen as extravagant are now deemed to be necessities.
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.

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.

The Gun Owner’s thread
in Hobbies
Posted
CHIEF Jr. came home with a new toy, I have a feeling he bought it yesterday. He kept mentioning what had all been done to it, how much his boss had put into it ($3500) and what a good deal it was.
His boss shoots competitively, and this one was for three gun comp. He built out this Barretta 92X. Ported barrel, really light trigger, more pronounced mag release. He got the original stock slide separately. Fitted with a Holosun red dot. This is his new daily carry. The Sig situation has him a bit sketched, he also doesn't like the way they have handled the P320 situation. He decided he doesn't want to carry a striker fire as his daily and opted for a double action hammer fired. He doesn't think he would survive his FN 510 accidentally going off in the holster, I don't either. So much for him ratholing his money. He ended up paying $1200, the barrel has about 5000 rounds through it, but should last for about 50k.
