    What' s the line?

    We're favored by 2, probably because the game is in Stillwater, so basically a push. I can't imagine that line didn't move drastically after the Wallace news which was rumored on Thursday and confirmed yesterday. I bet a ton of money went to TCU.

    Not sure I agree.  Wallace is really really good, but I think Hubbard is the most important player on offense.

    For one thing, there is a MASSIVE drop-off in ability from Hubbard to the rest of the RBs. 

    WR is at least a position where we are deep with talent. Braydon Johnson is pretty fucking good and has shown the ability to make game breaking catches. He's actually averaging a higher YPC than Wallace (22 ypc vs 17 ypc).  I also think Stoner, McCray, Wolf and Woods are all legit targets.  Maybe Sanders will find that out if/when he throws to them?  Taking away his crutch (Wallace) might actually help him develop.

    Obviously I'd rather have Wallace in there, because he's a badass, but I don't think it will be the unmitigated disaster that OSU fans think it will be.

    Now if we lost Hubbard, OTOH, FML.  

    I honestly don't think Sanders is capable of seeing the field and making more than one read. He throws almost nothing to the middle of the field which has been a big area for us in the past. Stoner has 24 catches all year., then Wolf at 14, McCray 11, Woods 10. Everyone else is single digits. I hate being negative but I just don't think Sanders is a good QB. Strong, talented, athletic, but is missing something between the earholes that is needed to be a successful QB. I really hope I'm wrong. Gundy says it takes a full season for the game to "slow down" but there have been plenty of really good true freshman QBs who don't commit 5 turnovers in a game and who can spread the ball around. And Sanders had all of last season on the sideline and practice field to get experience. All I can do is watch, support, and hope for the best, but I'm really down on him right now. Maybe you're right and he'll spread the ball around with Wallace out and stop throwing it to the wrong damn team. Fingers crossed.

    And everyone falls for the clickbait. 

    No shit. Obvious troll bait too. City trash talk can be fun but “worst” city in Texas for Dallas is laughably stupid even by clickbait troll standards.

    does the running and cycling not shed the gut? 

    It helps but I don't have the time to do it enough to be one of those guys who can claim "it all burns in the incinerator." I hit the gym over lunch 2-3 times a week and try to get at least one long run or ride on the weekend. I can increase it if I'm within a month of a half-marathon or organized long ride.

     You'd probably be best off cutting back on booze.

    Consuming alcohol only one day a week is a great place to start.

    Fuck you mind your own goddamned business! Seriously though, I don't think I drink enough that I need to cut back significantly. Eating better meals and exercising more should be enough for what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm not big at all I just have a dad belly that I hope to slim down. Ten pounds at most. I've already shed 4 points in a couple of weeks.  I'll reevaluate my booze consumption if I hit a wall before obtaining my goal.

    I'll send you my mostly full dovetail for a steal.  I don't like it.

    Nah, the reviews here had me do some research and I think I'll pass. I'll spend a little extra for WP Old World, that is currently my favorite bottle.

    This is going to be the death of college football (and basketball).  I actually agree it's not right for kids to not be able to profit from their own name and Image. But it's one thing to pay the student athletes a living wage. It's another to make some kids millionaires and have a defacto bidding war for top talent.  It's going to turn it into NFL lite.  On the plus side, Texas will probably wind up on the right side of the chasm that will exist between top tier programs and everyone else.  Sadly, I already feel myself losing interest.

    They said that too in the 80's when TV rights were expanded. They said that about pro sports when free agency was allowed. Any time the free market is introduced the chicken littles come out, every time things work out. Yeah things will change, that has happened over and over again. Barry Switzer made $80,000 salary in 1988. The current game isn't what it was 20 or even 10 years ago. Things change because of money. Welcome to capitalism.

  8. Yeah, it sucks for disparity between the haves and have nots. But I can't think of a single good reason to deny anyone the right to take money someone else wants to pay them for their services. The next thing that needs to go is the three year rule. If an NFL team wants to take a risk on an 18 year old kid out of high school, why the fuck should the kid be denied that money? The risk should be on the owners willing to pay. Instead, the risk of injury or not being good enough is on the kid. Thats not how this should work.

    Sugar.  Sugar is killing more American's than almost anything else.  We're dying from complications of abundance.  Too many calories.  Too many of the wrong calories.  Sugar is in everything.  Ketchup.  Pastas/bread.  Sweets.  Alcohol.  

    A diversity of natural foods in always best.  I try to eat lean proteins (primarily venison, chicken, eggs, and beef) and vegetables.  Supplemented with raw foods like nuts (and vegetables) for when I get hungry during the day.  It's not perfect.  But I keep a food journal and weigh and record my weight each day so I can track progress. 

    Go to Costco.  Get raw peppers, cucumbers, snap-peas, avacados, almonds, etc.  Have at it.  

    My alcohol is now primarily vodka and silver tequila w/ lime.  Red wine on occasion.  

    This. I'm trying to shed my dad gut to improve my running and cycling. I am doing everything I can to avoid sugar (primarily added sugar) and refined grains (mostly white bread and anything with white flour as its main ingredient). It is hard as fuck. Everything has sugar in it and our diets are loaded with empty carbs. My saving grace is nuts, seeds, and fruit throughout the day to keep my stomach from groaning. Sprouted grain bread only, and I found wraps made of cheese for lunch which I stuff full of peppers, onions, greens, and a few thin slices of higher quality lunch meat. I still drink beer and bourbon. I figure if I change everything else and workout at least 5 times a week I can still enjoy my booze. I'm not looking to lose more than about 10 pounds of belly fat.

    They thought it be fun to celebrate a gender reveal party with a pipe bomb.

    “Hold my beer” said the visibly intoxicated expectant mother before the obviously dumbass thing about to happen. The child, unfortunately, is expected to survive and to be incarcerated by 14.

    Seriously, that kid has no chance with an idiot family like that.
