  1. No, not really These things can change though. I could see them putting it on in Austin and/or the Metroplex
  2. Big "so-and-so is the coach of our football team and has my full confidence" energy
  3. Watched some clips of this past weekend and I liked the Uber Eats recap and sensitive strippers (although I'm sure that joke has been done 100 times before). The red haired dude has been a good addition. Not sure why they didn't just hire the rest of the PDD guys as well. And I try really hard not to be a hater, but yeah Wickline just staring at the cue cards in every skit drives me nuts. Can't someone just...tell her not to do that? Stop putting her in sketches until she figures it out?
  4. Maybe Trump has only ever seen North?
  5. I love the guy but honestly counting on him to be available next summer really worries me. He is truly made out of glass.
  6. She's lucky to have kept her teeth...or what few she started out with.
  7. I feel like I'm seeing that a lot less this time around. Why bother with the pretense any more?
  8. A plurality of our fellow Americans: “hell yeah, that’s my guy”
  9. 8-8-1 is absolutely perfect for this franchise. Fucking print it on a banner and hang it in Jerryworld. Make a docuseries about it. Rename Jerry’s yacht 8-8-1.
  10. Chiefs game was fool’s gold IMO. They suck this year.
  11. I've lived in Houston for 15 years. I'll never root for the Astros, but I don't have the same aversion to the Texans. They have their own issues, of course, but they're at least attempting to win, versus existing solely to serve the ego of one person.
  12. Good challenge, way to go Schotty. Great effort by the entire organization today.
  13. Absolutely pathetic performance tonight with the season on the line. People were literally starting to talk about closing the book on McCarthy already and he just strolls into our place and carves us up.
  14. Losing because you started Joe Burrow over Bo Nix is just a bad beat. The rationale is fine, that’s just the way it goes sometimes.
  15. Meh. Those are definitely "we are obligated to field an actual baseball team this year" moves. Although maybe $15 mil for an average catcher maybe means we're not as poor as we keep claiming publicly.
  16. Yeah I'm pretty satisfied with the way my team has rounded into form late in the year. I'm really hoping the Dolphins with nothing to play for and Achane a little banged up don't start managing his reps. Definitely anything can happen. All 6 playoff teams are separated by less than 100 total points over the course of the regular season. It's like a 7 ppg difference between #1 and #6.
  17. I decided to go with Pitts over Kelce at like 7 pm last night. This might be the first time in my life that a fantasy football decision has gone my way. Now fully expecting the rest of my team to fumble on their first touch, sprain their ankle, and sit out the final 58 minutes of their games.
  18. Dane Brugler’s most recent top 50 big board was on November 11 and doesn’t have Goosby (or any Texas player). I’m the intro he mentions that it’s a relatively weak OL class.
  19. The certainty about the number 3 is what I find interesting. For Sark and Flood to go from "we have never taken a portal OL in our time at Texas" to "we will get 3 starters from the portal this year" is a big leap that I won't believe until I see.
  20. Interesting that Gerry is confident about 3 IOL. I really hope that's true but honestly I'm not getting my hopes up for more than 2 and even 1 seems possible. Unless we fire Flood and the new guy wants to remake the room.
  21. Vasek's just an example. If they feel like he's not over the injury stuff, or he's not actually good enough to hold the fort in the event of a Lance Jackson injury, then sure cut him loose. But it's interesting to me reading this thread and others around Surly, and you'll find damn near every player who isn't a surefire starter or a freshman discussed as a transfer possibility. And on an individual, player-to-player basis, that makes total sense. But we do have to fill out a depth chart, whether it's with guys that are already here or ones from the portal. I mentioned Vasek specifically because I was looking at our depth chart at edge the other day. You've got Simmons and Jackson as your starters. Great. Spence mixing in, that's good. Then Zina, who I feel like I haven't seen much about, and Orogbo who I'm almost certain I saw something along the lines of "promising but not ready". I'd say you need at least one more body in that mix. You can go to the portal and get the edge version of, I dunno, Cole Brevard, to come in and join the rotation and it likely works out OK. But it's not free; by definition you have to pay that guy more than what his current team is willing or able to pay him. Not to mention you don't really know what kind of guy he is, don't have a great handle on his medicals, etc. The post I responded to was concerned with losing the sort of "middle class" of our roster. Guys that probably ain't gonna end up stars but can fill out the depth chart. To be perfectly honest, I don't remember Vasek hardly at all this season but the official stats claim he played in all 12 games. Seems like he could fall into that category, unless, as you say, the ask is nonsense.
