  1. Twelve years or so back an old Italian guy opened an authentic Italian restaurant in my small hometown. The food was really good when it first opened, everything made from scratch, used fresh herbs, ect. Then people complained because they had to order a salad or side salad so they put in a salad bar. The local hicks of course complained about the price and the taste because most of them had never had Italian food that wasn’t Olive Garden or ragu spaghetti. So they pivoted to Sysco crap and it sucked and they closed down a year or two later. He was probably tired of serving crap compared to how he started.
  2. Went and looked at the Texags game thread and they just said the exact opposite. But I’m watching with no sound so.
  3. Who’s on first? No one to catch the ball for you aggy…
  4. In the form of we will be passing downfield a lot more with less screens and three yard outs, it will feel like gunslinging vs last year.
  5. It definitely played a factor I think. It’s hard to take that part out of the equation totally. A lot was put into Quinn and not just money. He was a heisman favorite at the start of the season with many “experts” and people here saying he would be a first round pick after the season but he regressed in his downfield game and footwork due to injury or not. Sark knew it would have totally tanked him if he benched him and thought he could change the offense to fit Quinn’s strengths and dink and dunk and still win. They are very different quarterbacks, short game with Ewers was very good, with Arch it’s going to be a much more of a gunslinging offense.
  6. I mean he’s right…. He would have got close to that probably by playing in college next year.
  7. Yes the tape from this year does looks as bad as many of us said…. But I did not expect him to be in danger of not making a roster this year, there’s plenty of upside still.
  8. The assholes that don’t sell their seats and don’t go need to start selling them, it’s terrible every game.
  9. Good chance the Bears think they need another TE so they can have 8 going into the season, so be on the lookout for that…..
  10. It’s every damn game but usually it’s much worse than today.
  11. This, he did have 4K yards passing, 37 TD and a 74% completion percentage with a really shitty oline with many 300 yard passing games. Not a fan of him or his attitude at all though.
  12. If I told you before last season Ewers wouldn’t go until after the third round possibly, no one would have believed me. I really expected him to go in the early part of the third round.
  13. What did he say? Watching the baseball game.
  14. They love to say they have so much money yet their recent hires were very cheap and lacking experience and they have 15 threads on Texags complaining how NIL is ruining football and unfair. Shouldn’t that benefit you with all that money?
  15. Just watched that episode yesterday, it’s an underrated funny show.
  16. I’m not sure he had a choice at Texas..
  17. I hope all this jewelry these guys are wearing is fake..
  18. wtf is the Bears obsession with having tons of TE’s and drafting them high all of the time.
  19. They need Europe to step up big time I’d say. I have a feeling manpower of experienced soldiers and overall will become a huge issue over the next year for Ukraine and Russia has a huge supply of manpower to force to the front. I wouldn’t count on Putin running out of gas he will continue to throw everything they have at it and their economy isn’t as close to collapsing as we would all like it to be. I’m afraid this summer could be bad without US support, hopefully something changes soon and Europe steps up. I miss the days of Wagner marching towards Moscow.
  20. Jarrett was there with him when he passed.
  21. McDonald’s is not better than Whataburger and I’m not a huge Whataburger fan. Plus there’s so many preservatives in McDonald’s and its meat is so dry the food will look the same left on your counter way longer than most fast food. To me the Whataburger decline is more in people’s heads because it sold out vs a huge decline. It still tastes the same to me and no matter what they throw on it with new creations it still tastes like Whataburger if that makes sense. Avoid both of those places with their prices now and just go to a local place to get a much better option if you have the time for the same price or close to it.
  22. You don’t see those things when you first start dating, next thing you know you’re in too far and they beg you not to leave and I’m too nice and hang around way too long. She’s sweet and really does means well, just lazy and dumb. Last few months with my schedule if I stay over there I leave at 7 most days and not back until 8-9 at night. That and great boobs and sex.
  23. My girlfriend’s kids are some of the worst I’ve ever seen but it’s not really all their fault. (Minus the oldest, something is wrong with that one). These kids 13, 11, 8 can’t make it thru a dinner without complaining, throwing a fit or playing on their phones loudly every time to where I’m just like they aren’t going anymore because they can’t behave, take them to the beach they complain non stop, I swear they would complain the whole time at Disney World. It’s all because no one has ever actually disciplined them and parents and grandparents spoil them (example the 13 year makes mom put his pizza in and comes and yells at her to get it out for him, I’d of starved if I wasn’t making my own food by 9). Their mom has to tell them a minimum of five times before they do anything she says and there’s no consequences for doing for anything done wrong. She has gotten better since I’ve been around and I’m like wtf non stop telling her you have to do something but it’s a long battle if they don’t drastically change things and quickly. They complain loudly if they have to the smallest thing they don’t want to do, the boys (older ones) skip school and refuse to go pretty much once a week to play video games all day. Real life is going to slap these kids in the face so hard when their lazy, ungrateful, undisciplined asses graduate. I’ve even offered money to send the oldest to a scared straight type summer camp because that one definitely needs something. Mom is also pretty much like her kids though and possibly one of the laziest people I’ve ever met. How I ended up here is my fault I know but I’m probably jumping off this train wreck soon.
  24. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-says-russia-lacks-certain-weapons-despite-beefing-up-military-production-2025-04-23/ Putin is just going to ramp up production of weapons and especially drones even more than they already have and throw more meat at the front lines, Russians and non Russian. I read somewhere else they have 650k troops operating in the war right now. I don’t think they should take a shitty deal, it would be nice if they didn’t have to take one at all but without US weapons they have to be running low on manpower and weapons soon. Any deal definitely needs more access to port areas than Russia is offering now but Putin is never giving up Crimea.
  25. This 100%. I’m for tariffs used correctly, raw goods like steel, aluminum, rubber, should have been in place to keep more production domestically a while back. The execution of what Trump did makes 0 sense, but don’t try talking sense to people who only watch Foxnews and believe the spin. I’ve tried with educated friends that seemed logical a few years back but now it’s all one side vs the other on everything and they puke out and buy into the spin Trump puts out.
