  1. You still have the possibility that the "known commodity" is Amari Niblack.
  2. I liked this dude's tape. Hope we keep him warm.
  3. "Truly repulsive and disgusting"....until he wins a Senate seat next year. Then he's cool.
  4. I'm still fucking annoyed by that "article". Our society has a lot of sicknesses, but one of the most insidious is the widely held belief that being rich and being smart are the same thing. Campbell says it outright at the top of the article - "I made a lot of money, therefore I'm smart" - and a major news organization accepts that as a given and prints it without any critical eye whatsoever. As for me, I'm over billionaires showing up and telling me that they, and only they, have the solution to all of my problems and indeed all of society's problems. In fact, I'm more inclined to believe the exact opposite. I guess I'm just in the minority on that, though. Certainly Matt Hayes seems on board.
  5. kissy face, kissy face, sent to ur phooooooooone (guess who has preteen daughters?)
  6. Campbell really seems to believe that he’s the smartest guy in the room. Yet he’s not quite smart enough to grasp one simple fact: if anyone in the country gave a single fuck about watching Texas Tech on TV, they’d already have a seat at the table and he wouldn’t need to gargle Trump’s balls to get one.
  7. We’re not recruiting anyone whose high school is anywhere near that address. I guess North Shore would be closest but it’s still like 20 miles away. Does that McDonalds have the only working ice cream machine on the north side or something?
  8. Glen Powell was great in Everybody Wants Some! and Hit Man. Needs to stick with Linklater, I guess.
  9. Won’t Deloitte get the shit sued out of them the first time they reject a deal? Isn’t that a giant flashing red sign that says “ANTICOMPETITIVE PRACTICES”?
  10. Seems like we’ve been reading for a few years now that certain programs make promises they can’t keep, but is there any evidence that it actually matters? Mark Bowman’s family doesn’t seem overly concerned with what happened to Jordan Addison. Betting against the capacity for cognitive dissonance in human beings when it’s in their own self interest is a proven loser.
  11. Here's The Athletic's guess at the 26-man WC roster as of today. They didn't do a starting lineup or put them in order. GK: Turner, Steffen, Schulte DF: Dest, Jedi, Richards, Ream, McKenzie, Freeman, Scally, Zimmerman MF: Adams, McKennie, Musah, Tillman, Cardoso, Berhalter, LDLT, Tessman FW: Puli, Weah, Balogun, Wright, Luna, Pepi, Sargent Not a ton to argue with. GK suuuuuucks. No depth at FB and no 2nd CB you feel good about. I think LDLT is a waste of space, but it's not like he'll be playing a lot so whatever.
  12. I think that's a drawback of the Roto format. If you're down it's hard to mount a comeback and it feels hopeless. Maybe next year we could experiment with doing a 2nd half winner to keep people more interested. As for trades, I wouldn't mind a pitcher but I'm also chasing OPS just like you. You'd have to give up a fortune to get someone like Greene from me. Have you tried $50 Donation/@UTHornFan014? I heard that guy likes trading lol.
  13. Keep in mind that Boeing immediately pointed the finger at the pilots in the 737 MAX crashes. This might be something or it might be nothing.
  14. It’s hard to figure. If there were other forces at play, like hot Sark-to-NFL rumors or something, we would have heard about it by now. Best I can come up with is that every circumstance is different and we have run into some just plain bad luck. Tech decided that Ojo was a guy they absolutely had to have. Same with Florida and Guervil. Always seemed like our staff liked the two legacy WRs but maybe had them a tier below the best of last year’s class. We got in on Rouse a little late. And so on. This isn’t going how we as fans expected, or how the last couple cycles played out, or I’d wager how the coaches planned. But if we have lots of dry powder it ought to be an entertaining fall.
  15. Well I didn’t want my rep whoring to be TOO obvious.
  16. Early July straw poll Over/under final class rank: 5.5 Pos rep this post if you think under (i.e., top 5 class). Neg if you think over (i.e., 6th or worse). Can’t rep my own post but for the record I’ll take the under.
  17. On a rational level, you're probably right. The Brocks looked at a program in disarray and made a defensible business decision. But on an emotional level, I've always felt like the anger directed toward them was exactly because they chose to kick us when we were really, really down. Really down. And they did it with a smile on their face. Every single person here knows that we'll survive without Jalen Lott. It did not feel that way at the time with the Brocks. In summary: fuck them.
  18. He does photoshops for free so recruits tell him a lot of stuff. Really seems like AI will/should put him out of business in pretty short order, though.
  19. Yeah Martin loaded them up then they brought in Milner. He threw ball 4 on a full count. Walking off the field like a chump after you walk in the winning run has got to be one more humiliating feelings in sports, as it should be.
