"the bear" - new series on fx
I watched the show for the first time this week and loved it. I think Carmy eventually wanted to make it a profitable, good restaurant. He's also in no spot to fully achieve what he wants to because he hasn't dealt with the trauma of his brother's death. He can very clearly compartmentalize things which is how achieved the greatness as a chef that he did, but he clearly struggles with a lot of things and it's likely due to the trauma he hasn't dealt with. Slowly he gets the restaurant from a beloved shithole to a functional joint, but I think the plan was always to make it something elevated.

2023 Transfer Thread - Texas Capitalized, ATM Victimized
Nashville really doing numbers with an airport that has 20 percent of the passengers Atlanta has.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
It's also mind blowing that they started Cole Hutson the entire season over DJ Campbell. If Hutson had the leg up because he enrolled early, fine, but his play never warranted him being the starter all year and leaving the #1 OL recruit on the bench behind a bad player all year in the era of the transfer portal is just insanely stupid. Let Campbell take his lumps. His upside is just so significantly higher.

The window dressing in college football has changed over the 150+ years of the sport, but the fundamental truth that has always existed exists to this day: the mean, nastier, more physical teams at the line of scrimmage are the teams that are going to win most football games. That's been the problem for Texas for the past 10+ years and is the problem now and the problem is two fold. At the granular level, while there's a lot of talented young players on the o-line, they don't have anybody with a mean, nasty mentality in that group right now. They get pushed around in the run game far too easily and for all the plaudits Kyle Flood came to Texas with, the offensive line in two years has yet to look like they can move bodies in the run game. At the philosophical level, it doesn't help when the head coach views a four yard gain as a negative. Sark is so quick to abandon the run game at the first sight of any trouble. Did it in Stillwater this year when Ewers couldn't hit water from a boat. Didn't even try to establish any kind of run game against a putrid run defense last night. Starting Keilan Robinson as your every down between-the-tackles back was a joke. He certainly has a role in this offense and that ain't it. Until Texas can get back to mauling people up front, this is a program with a 8-9 win ceiling.

Alamo Bowl: Texas vs. Washington - 8pm on ESPN
Was pretty cool how on that field goal drive not a single goddamn person in burnt orange player or coach and the slightest sense of urgency. Just wasting so much time. Just stellar shit.

The was such a good drop from Terrance Brooks Sark is going to move him to receiver.

"Do you stay dedicated to the run?" Motherfucker they never started.

Alamo Bowl: Texas vs. Washington - 8pm on ESPN
Washington is 106th in the country in rush defense success rate and 91st in defensive opportunity rate (pct of rushes that go for 4+ yards) this is a defensive line that sucks shit through a straw and our o-line hasn't been able to generate any push in the rare times are dumb ass coach has tried to run the ball. Kyle Flood has a great reputation as an o-line coach, but that unit has just got to get a ton better without 5 to bail them out.

Wouldn't blame Pete K if he beat seven shades of shit out of everyone on the offensive coaching staff at halftime.

If they're blowing up the opposing team's passing game then I don't give a fuck.

Thank you New Balance for making extra wide shoes in more than one style!- Texas Recruiting Notes 2023: Strippers, Monkeys, and 5-Stars
Mom heard how much Miami was offering Derek Williams and said Cormani's price was going up. Smart business.- 2023 Transfer Thread - Texas Capitalized, ATM Victimized
Kentucky was 21st in offensive SP+ in 2021 and then the OC went back to the LA Rams. They were 92nd this year so they convinced the old OC to comeback from the NFL to take the job again. A McVay disciple who has NFL people gassed up about Will Levis is probably a good guy to spend a year playing for.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2023: Strippers, Monkeys, and 5-Stars
I appreciate how this staff aggressively tries to fix weaknesses through recruiting. OL last year, LB this year.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Remember when Red McCombs said it was insulting that Texas hired Charlie Strong and that maybe he'd make a good coordinator or position coach? Same fucking thing with Sark. He's an offensive coordinator. He ain't good enough to be a head coach at this level. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk- It's not the head coach that is the problem
No, it's the head coach. Just because this one is better than the last two doesn't mean he's doing his goddamn job. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk- The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)
In the last episode Martin went to visit them in prison and offered to pay them more than they were getting paid so when Lisson came to them they said the price was doubled. He never got the money and then after the incident on the beach he and his wife fled to Alaska. Martin went to Texas and offered to pay them more money. Martin went to Alaska to stake them out, spotted them at the store and told the ninjas they were on the move back to their hideout.- The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)
Is speculation a spoiler? I dunno. Not spoilering it. This was from episode two this season.- USMNT 2022
Maybe don't play in St. Paul in February again, but I have absolutely no problem making teams play in cold climates during winter qualifiers. The game is the game. Honduras has made the US play summer qualifiers during the day time when it's above 90 degrees and sweltering. Tough shit. Just because we have more options and resources than these other countries doesn't mean they deserve any mercy from us when it comes to where we schedule the games. You want to CONCACAF shit up against us? We'll do the same to you. I also think the environment 100 percent mattered last night. The US came out aggressive and as soon as they scored, Honduras quit. They didn't want to be there. If that game is in Florida somewhere and it's nice out, I think Honduras' effort would've been a little bit better. Maybe we would've just flat out kicked their asses anywhere, but we hadn't kicked anyone's asses definitively in qualifying to this point so that's not an assumption I want to make. Columbus is fine. Chicago is fine. New England states are fine. It's cold, but it's fine to play in.- 2022 Transfer WR Isaiah Neyor

Stetson Bennett just announced he's coming back for another year which is why Georgia's best receiver hit the transfer portal.- FCS 2021 Football Playoffs
Montana State's QB getting hurt took all the juice out of this game. Montana State's defense had been awesome this year, but just got fuckin' dump trucked today. The playoff committee was backed into a no-win corner this year. Sam Houston was at best the fifth best team in the country, but had won 21 straight games, James Madison's conference wasn't as good as it normally is and NDSU's loss to South Dakota State was pretty definitive so Sam Houston kinda had to be the one seed. The committee maybe should've made JMU the four seed just to put them on the other side of the bracket from North Dakota State, but other than that I'm not sure what else you could do to get a competitive title game. South Dakota State was probably one of the three best teams, but fucked themselves in the regular season and had to play back-to-back-to-back road games and it's just possible they ran out of gas in the semis. North Dakota State is FCS Thanos, they are inevitable, but I just wish it had been a better game.- Sugar Bowl - Ole Miss vs Fuck Baylor
Baylor might be in trouble tonight if they don't have Big 12 refs there to let them get away with defending pass rushers by grabbing them around the neck in chokeholds. - Texas Recruiting Notes 2023: Strippers, Monkeys, and 5-Stars
