  1. To spice it up a bit for the casual fan, I guess we could add "artistic merit" to the scoring. Creative bat flips, cup adjustments and pirouetting gayly while turning the double play could push your team up a few percentage points in a year-end tiebreaker. Maybe go with capes on the outfielders.

  2. A lot of people think the Cubs winning in 2016 "fixed" it. I happen to think it occurred a year later, with the Astros winning the title. 

     

    Seriously, speeding up the pitch cadence and not letting every batter take five minutes between pitches, a la Mike Hargrove, has helped quite a bit. So too has the (allegedly) smoother ball almost no one can throw with a big break to it. Flatter pitches getting grooved and then scattered 400-plus feet from home plate has made for some pretty watchable games.

    Maybe instead of his NFL career sputtering to a premature end (like his college career) because he's hard-headed, Warren's NFL career will be a failure to launch. Dummy. 

    So...physical giant, mental midget? Flip another coin, Chris.

    Who else should Noah Cain's recruiting be about?

    Anyone signing on to play for Texas needs to understand the decision has zero to do with anything as trivial as their own education or athletic development. It should be all about making the regulars on this board proud to be Longhorn fans. I don't know why that's so hard for some players to get their heads around.

    Speaking of danger_snax, whenever he wakes from his bake and finds the shag deserted..

    He's gonna freak out...man.

    He's one of only two people I finally just put on "ignore." Even if I'd thought he was actually trying to communicate some cognitive thought (which I still doubt), I knew I wasn't savvy enough to decode it anyway. 

  6. Not only do we need an outdoors category, we then need to divvy it into a number of more specific activities. As noted, there's no shortage of possibilities.

    And yes, hunting exotics is cool...with a wide range of locations, weapons, etc. Texas is obviously the epicenter of the universe on that.

    I am now fully on board the tank train. Watching this team in the playoffs is really gonna suck.

    If we go ahead and drop our remaining games, we'll end up with another winning season but hopefully fall into the lottery. At least that would bring some additional off-season hope. That said, the very notion of missing the playoffs makes me queasy.

    Could you imagine our 2 backs being Cain and Sanders? Dear lord

    No, actually, I can't. At this point, one or the other would be sweet. But I'd love to have my mind changed about that "package" deal. 

  9. Turkeys are one of the best ways to get kids hooked on the woods. If there are any gobblers around, a pop-up blind and a decoy can make for some pretty reliable shooting...even with fidgety kids. Of course, then you still have to figure out what to do with the turkey.
