  1. Very good book.  It's been a few years since I read it, but remember thinking it would be hard as hell to translate to the big screen.  Trailer looks solid, hope they pull it off.

    I remember liking the book more than I did The Martian.

    Not trying to be harsh. I like the guy and have heard he's a great teammate. I'm not bashing the dude. There's a huge gap between him and the other backs Texas has been fortunate enough to see in the last 4 or 5 seasons. I don't believe he's that dangerous back that requires attention every down. It's not an insult to say a running back isn't Bijan or Brooks. It's not an insult to tell Manu Ginobili "you weren't Kobe." Dab some salve on chili dog's labia and we'll get back to the passing game. 

    Had a similar discussion with a friend last year towards the end of the season. His question was "How far back in Texas football do we have to go to find a starting RB who wouldn't start ahead of Wisner?". I think we settled on Keontay Ingram. Not meant as a knock on Wisner, just that we've had a pretty incredible run at RB.

    Which would suggest that the people you know are not, in fact, either smart or good.

    Trust me, I think a lot about it. It sucks. Family I've known my entire life. Friends I've had since elementary school. To say this has complicated my relationships with these people would be a huge understatement.

    But yeah, remove politics from the equation, and they're great people.

    Would argue Trumpanzees are dumber for believing his bullshit. 

    It's the biggest mystery for me. Like I know otherwise smart and good people who have voted for him three times. But pick any random 30 seconds of him talking, and you're like "Oh yeah, he's a conman. Just completely full of shit, and completely ignorant, in addition to being an objectively horrible person". He should have been laughed off the stage in his first debate in 2016, and that would have been the end of it. "Who the hell would vote for this guy to be president??". But nope.

    Dude, remember how big of a deal it was that Clinton smoked a joint once to the Republicans?  So they went and elected a guy with a cocaine habit and serial drunk driver.   They have ALWAYS been like this.  

    It was REALLY disrespectful when Obama saluted while holding a cup of coffee. It meant that he hated the troops. A few years later and Dotard says out loud that he doesn't like American POWs and his poll numbers went up. These people are just fucking nuts.

    He won't be the lead running back by the end of the season. 

    It's going to be interesting to watch. What's the carry breakdown against OSU going to look like? We might have four guys all in the 6-12 range. Completely dependent on Baxter's health, and whatever Clark is going to look like. And if Gibson has learned how to hold onto the ball and pass block.

    Maybe ctj will be nice enough to do up one of these for our rushing game.

    Both claim to be "he's not perfect, but..." category of Trump voter.

    I know a bunch of those. Funny how there is always a reason, going back to 2016, why they just had to vote for him. I'm sure when he runs in 2028 they'll find a reason why they yet again have to vote for him, even though he's running on a platform of becoming king, and turning the presidency over to his son when he croaks. Because Mayor Pete once said something they don't like.

    He is completely immune to consequences.

    Hunter Biden making money off his family's name was supposed to be the worst thing to ever happen. But the sitting President increasing his net worth by 100% in seven months is just perfectly fine.
