  1. I will also say that the front office is in a weird situation this year. If you're Dana Brown you are dealing with a medical staff that was already here (I think?) and you might not trust. What the hell do you do? We have a AAAA team that is 62-47 somehow and you have to think that IF Peña comes back healthy and Alvarez comes back at 90% of himself, etc., that you have a team that can win a title. You can't sell when you're in first place, the fanbase would riot. So you either sit on your hands and limp to a close division win with a team that needs small sample size luck to win a title or you try to go for it. I'm not going to get too upset about anything that we did today, we were in an usual spot. Obviously just like every year it might not work out but I'm not going to second guess anything we did. We tried to improve and we brought back a hero with his former team covering 30% of his cost.
  2. I will say that having team leadership and ownership willing and always looking to do SOMETHING is way more enjoyable as a fan than teams that just sit around and hope their current roster "plays better" down the stretch. Yeah we all sit around and analyze comparative value and long-term impact and blah, blah, blah but in the end this is entertainment and I appreciate the fact that we are always trying something.
  3. Told my kid the new HEB commercial writes itself. Altuve is hanging out with McCullers at home. The doorbell rings, surprise it's Carlos! Altuve excitedly says "CARLOS!" and they all hug. Then before he closes the door Altuve peeks outside and says "Alex?"
  4. I just saw this. This dipshit had a Heisman winning QB drafted (way too high) in the 4th round after 4 years. And it's inconceivable that a 7th round pick could hold off a future Heisman winner who is in his second year? Sorry not sorry if already covered.
  5. I said aligned interests should do it, not Democrats themselves. That was very intentional.
  6. Careful. Super obvious shit is too Cloak Room these days.
  7. Democrat-aligned interests should already be flooding the zone with posts saying that he's going to pardon or make a deal with a child molester so she'll lie to cover up his own misdeeds. That this is what conspirators do. And that he's going to do it because he thinks his supporters are stupid enough to fall for it. They probably still will but the ONLY chance to beat this play in their minds is to call it out as part of the conspiracy before it happens.
  8. It's like all our opponents are the Longhorn defense and we keep throwing backup QBs out there.
  9. It's hilarious that you think this post sounds smart. I can picture you sitting there as you edited it a dozen times until it sounded like you think smart people sound. So many awkward phrases jammed into 6 sentences.
  10. It sounds like you're asking if we know how good we've got it.
  11. Keep it in the Cloak Room! Oh wait, you only cry about that in certain cases.
  12. So you're saying that we got two 5 stars when the thread was full of off topic shit? And you want it to not be full of off topic shit in the future? Do you not like getting 5 star recruits?
  13. I had the reverse option. Oilers were always my #2 team. Honestly it wasn't very difficult growing up in Austin, they were both on every weekend. Plus the whole Houston versus Dallas silliness isn't a factor when you're from neither place. And the TX/OU analogy is pretty weak. Competitively the Oilers and Cowboys weren't rivals.
  14. Did you just quote a post in the same post where you made the post? Are you a witch?
  15. Yep. A "100 year" event is >50% to happen in any given 69 year period. 500 year event in a 347 year period.
  16. Got a chance but L as of now Barely a W as of now L as of now Easy W as of now
  17. Understood, the fuck yous were general, not directed.
  18. I got $1000 per year for being an engineering student who maintained a 3.5 or higher GPA. I got $5000 per year for being a Hispanic engineering student who maintained a 2.5 or higher GPA. While my mother had grown up on dirt floors and without indoor plumbing to two Spanish speaking only parents whom she taught English, she had absolutely busted her ass to fight her way out of poverty using education. She went to school even when her mother told her she was wasting her time bothering to graduate high school. She graduated from UT and owned her own successful business by the time I graduated high school. That lowered expectations Hispanic scholarship I took every year wasn't intended for someone in the upper middle class like I was by that time. But fuck you if you think I wasn't taking it. I have no illusions that I'm the badass in my life story but she certainly was and fuck you again if you think I'm not going to save her $15,000 (I got married before my senior year and paid for that myself). Everyone has a story. If you qualify and complete the form accurately and honestly and receive the funds then everyone else can mind their own business. How they word it is not your problem. Hell I have no issue with white South Africans applying for African-American scholarships. That's on the awarding entity to clarify.
  19. USA is playing their pool games in the 2026 WBC in Houston.
  20. I'm assuming he's only been to 10 or fewer rodeo shows. Well more hoping than assuming, I guess.
  21. I am definitely willing to bet he knows people who are responsible.
  22. Interesting example because I'm willing to bet half of Americans who have even heard of the DEFCON system think level 5 is worse than level 1. Nothing can be made idiot-proof enough for current America.
  23. If not for one game against the Cubs we would be saying the Rockies were our toughest opponent in that 4 series stretch.
