    White Tennies

    A little late to the party on this new-to-me phenomenon. Thinking about inking up on these bad boys for a swanky beach-chic (the fuck does that mean?) party coming up in Sept. Anyone own a pair?

    Western Novels

    The Son, great book about a multi-generational family along the Texas-Mexico border. Combines a modern story with 1900 era cattle/Cowboy feud that bubbles over to the current family saga, very good. Cormac's Blood Meridian is a hard read but its about as western as it gets. If you want an Indian slant, Empire of the Summer Moon is an outstanding Comanche/early Texan oral history.
  3. those are fuckin sweet
  4. Newish Tecovas , really liking them and old faithful luccheses, prior to a recent shine.
  5. Snowmass was awesome this past winter. My first time to Aspen and really enjoyed it. Splurged for an instructor on day 1 to learn the mountain and maximize terrain, minimize lift line. Didnt do Ajax or Highlands, as we had novice skiiers on the trip too.
  6. Lets make sure to get the Gold Medalist Horn Crouser in the building for his recruitment.
  7. Sounds like you had yourself your own billy baroo. The Hancock dude was looking for a Billy ba-blew.
  8. I like your chances if it comes down to which QB can make something happen when the play breaks down. RL is a superp athlete, incredible basketball player in his prep days.
  9. Big fan of Riley Leonard ever since that Clemson win. He had Notre Dame beat too but for one play and then the injury. Re-aggravating it cost them the FSU game otherwise Duke would have had 3 very solid wins last year. Could have those flip flopped. I hear they (Domers) lost their starting LT, so we'll see how they handle that, but Riley Leonard is a great athlete in the vein of Arkansas Matt Jones, super long strider and deceptively fast. Really hope they beat the aggies. Leonard has not played on a stage that big so we'll see how he handles it. Could make himself a lot of money this season. My daughter (no pics) is very good friends with him and his gf, so kind of hits close to home. Rooting for the Domers this year.
  10. yeah i agree, it was more of a true freshman playing on big stage for the first time against D1 players (even CSU) and then the following week being on biggest stage of them all. Lot can happen to any player when its game on.
  11. Good news indeed , but whole new ballgame when live ammo starts firing out you. Its the Mike Tyson saying that everyone has a plan until you get hit in the face. Id like to think he'll be ready for what CSU is going to bring, but when the lights come on, the curtain opens, you find out real quick how well you know your lines.
  12. To be fair that wasnt Mack's kid.
  13. carry #5 got him, the 32 yarder. Nada after that vs Rice.
  14. Who is the Ramonce Taylor of this WR corp? He lined up as a back and played both very well before the backpack incident. That would be our answer. Not saying RT ran between tackles much, but if we have a guy like that in the WR depths, we should be fine with Blue, Gibson, TW and then spreading some carries to an athlete or two.
  15. I can see us using a lot of screens and jet sweeps with Bolden .....gimmicky type runs early in games to open up lanes for our smaller backs to run vs less occupied boxes. We'll have to run up the gut no doubt at times, but losing our big back (Baxter) and now depth (Clark) will force our hand a bit. With speed to burn on O, we'll see a lot of designed runs in space and then let Blue take his shots using tempo. The 4th and 1 or less than 5 where we go for it will be something to see how Sark handles. Baxter housed the one vs KSU, running through an arm tackle with a quick cut . If Gibson (he has the size) can prove to be durable, that will help tremendously. Loved Baxter, but IIRC he got hurt on his first carry. Granted he came back vs Bama the following week.
  16. Torture the numbers, they'll confess to anything.
  17. Not great at comparing, but I would think College Trent Richardson would be an apt comparison. From memory Richardson was a bit heavier 20lbs maybe , but about the same height and body type. The video on Gibson is not great b/c he was playing at IMG and tough to know what the competition was but seems like a similar build to Trent Richardson from his Bama days
  18. yep, Trent Richardson starter kit. Also, i see a lot of Brooks running style in Wisner, from the limited reps on tape at least.
  19. Gibson...next man up
  20. Just looked it up, knew nothing of this story. Finishing up March by Geraldine Brooks at present, but I may read this one next. I seem to recall an older movie about a Belgian outpost overrun by locals and the battle that ensued, that may have been loosely tied to this era/region. Cant say for sure though.
  21. he also hurt his shoulder on the first run of his career, a nice 20 yarder, went down hard on the sideline and i think may have missed the rest of the game.
  22. I can see Bolden lining up in the backfield some or running the orbit route ala Davantae Smith. With reports of his quickness and suddenness, that little route Bijan would run out in the flat is going to be deadly.
  23. Pretty hot for a Mayor.
