  1. Febres just threw that up. Had time.
  2. KSt having their best offensive performance of the season. Even when defense plays well, they are hitting tough shots right before the buzzer.
  3. If they are going to sag off to protect against the lob, drivers need to take it hard to the rim, which they were doing in the first half.
  4. KSt is scoring on every fucking possession. Their offense is supposed to be suspect. Have to get stops and start hitting some 3s.
  5. Of course KSt can’t miss from 3, where they usually suck...
  6. Didn’t make many outside shots. Most of the scoring was drives, points off offensive rebounds and some free throws. Out scrapping KSt, which is hard to do.
  7. Like Huck said, the 67% weighting for the Freshman class makes absolutely no sense for predicting next years team. Also, on offense, I would think returning QBs and Olinemen would be a heavily weighted factor. Not sure if it is...
  8. I believe your thinking of chickenpox that causes shingles. Measles is a different virus that is much more dangerous for kids.
  9. Isn't there a vaccine for chickenpox now? When I was a kid everyone got chickenpox, right of passage sort of thing. Turns out once you have that virus in your system it never leaves. So now (that I'm old) I have had 3 episodes of Bell's Palsy thanks to that "harmless" chickenpox virus (varicella-zoster) and shingles is caused by the same thing. Just reactivates later in life as herpes zoster.
  10. Kid may grow himself into an OL prospect. He has the kind of athleticism that could translate into an elite LT.
  11. Going for the 3 and the win, unfortunately they ran the panicked, herd offense. Fugly...
  12. Offense had better flow tonight, but of course Garrett decides to have a career game... Need to win one of these type games at the buzzer to gain some confidence.
  13. Ding! Ding!
  14. I'm not complaining in the slightest. The point of the post was about expectations. As an example I brought up the boards expectations for Jake Smith and specifically a lot of talk about his speed. He's fast, not elite but plenty fast , along with other great attributes. It's not a knock on the kid at all, just the hype certain recruits/incoming freshmen get before they step foot on the field. It's interesting to me how those expectations play out and how often they end being off base. Shit, I hope he ends up being an all-American, it wouldn't surprise me.
  15. Agree with all of this. They were the worlds worst at setting lease bonus precedents at 3 to 5 times the going rate, for no apparent reason. If they showed up in an area we were working, we knew we were fucked.
  16. It's always interesting to see how the incoming freshman "pan out" in comparison to whom this board is really excited about right now. LJH didn't get much attention, either positive or negative when he came in. Although some "analysts" thought he was a terrible take... Jake Smith seems to be the one of the class favorites. He looks like a damn good football player to me, but I'm not seeing the elite speed I keep reading about (ducks). He's got good speed and quickness and runs exceptional routes, but he doesn't have Marquise Goodwin or Hollywood Brown speed. I think he ends being a really good football player, but I'm not sure he makes as an immediate impact or lives up to some of the expectations I read here. Malik Jefferson rings a bell in this regard. This happens every year, I'm sure with every fan base.
  17. CB is a position where experience really matters. There is plenty of talent on the roster, but it might be a rough start to the year at that position. Hopefully they will pick things up quickly. I think Cook will be ok if he can eliminate some of the bonehead stuff he tends to do, mainly from being overly aggressive. Not sure what to think about Green. He's got a ton of talent but it might take him a little while to get up to game speed.
  18. That makes sense. I wasn't trying to come across as snarky, but I have become a bit jaded by what's happened over the last several years. The business has become mostly manufacturing, run by PE companies with select "management teams", or stock companies. There is still a niche for companies like ours, but it has become much more difficult and certainly not as much fun. In other words...get off my lawn!
  19. Wow, that blows my mind, "that's probably the only one I've heard of in all the years I've been writing title opinions". I've been in the conventional exploration business my entire career (a long time). We still drill only conventional deals. I would expect about a 20 to 30% rate of success depending upon the prospect (might be higher). So, there is a very good chance we will drill dry holes. Supposed to drill an exploration deal in the Spring (hopefully not dry). And we operate in the Permian. I suppose that sounds even more outlandish. That's been the norm for the majority of my career, it's just relatively recently that dry holes are considered "rare". Lmao... It's crazy how much the industry had changed in the last 5 to 7 years.
  20. Cook seems like an asshole.
  21. Plummer may be having ankle problems. She is not taking hardly any approach.
  22. I’d rather see Stanford win...jinx probably.
  23. Yeah, impressive. They could do no wrong that last game. Amazing how fast momentum changes in vball.
  24. Plummer has disappeared.
  25. I don’t understand why tree doesn’t adjust the block to the inside when Foecke and Sweatt are swinging on the outside. Too much to ask of Hentz covering that much court.
