    2021 draft Texas had 33 players (2nd most to Florida) - 6 were OL https://nflcommunications.com/Pages/229-High-Schools-Have-Players-Selected-in-2021-NFL-Draft.aspx

    2020 draft Texas had 34 players (first) - https://247sports.com/Article/NFL-Draft-2020-Jeff-Okudah-CeeDee-Lamb-Texas-high-school-football-146518252/

    Most years is either TX or FL leading the way. There's plenty of talent in Texas, but plenty of schools coming here to recruit that talent as well. Per capita I presume we dont do as well. 

    First round, not total. Who was the last elite offensive lineman who played high school football in Texas?

    McWilliams 80’s team actually kind of.  Metcalf was great and most of the rest of the team sucked.  Lots of slow, non athletic players all over the field.  When you looked at the UT players versus the players at Miami, FSU, etc… it was shocking like if you let the Southlake HS team play against the Dallas Cowboys.  I don’t blame Sark for this by the way (not saying he is the answer) but this is all on Herman.  He recruited these crappy players and if he was still the coach he wouldn’t have the O line playing great, the QBs suddenly good, the D with Bush, Brock and Schooler playing well.  Saban, Urban and Belichick all could have come here and they wouldn’t be able to do shit with these players. 

    All this. Picture Luke Brockermeyers playing in ski boots….

    FUCK THIS! I live in the Phoenix metro, and I'll never root for the red birds as long as the ewok (take the loss, pussy) is qb. I know Colt is the backup, and if he starts, I'll be happy to root for them.

    If we had gotten Kyler Murray from high school or when he’d transferred from aggy you’d love him. Little tiny E is a straight up baller, don’t hate him cuz he didn’t want to join our fucking shitshow….

    Do dumbass injuries go here? This isn't exactly age-related, but I imagine I would have shaken it off quicker a few years ago.

    Had friends over to watch WS Game 3 on Friday night. After everyone left for the evening, wife and finished cleaning up and getting ready to call it a night. Last thing I needed to do before hopping in bed was head downstairs and turn on the alarm and grab some bottles of water. Stupidly, I ran down the slick, wooden staircase with socks on, completely lost my footing about 2 steps in, slammed ribcage first into the stairs and rode 'em down all the way to the landing. Knocked the wind out of me and I ended up spending the rest of a gorgeous weekend sitting on the couch with an ice-pack, gulping down OTC meds and grunting in pain each time I had to stand up or sit back down. I almost cried during a brief coughing spell last night. Finally felt good enough to get out of the house today, but it's gonna be at least a week or two before I think about doing any type of exercise beyond maybe walking on a treadmill. Lifting anything over 10 lbs. is on hold until further notice.

    Man I’ve lived in a multi-story house with wooden stairs most of my married adult life (I’m 55). I used to move down those motherfuckers like I was running the 100m hurdles; now, ESPECIALLY when I have socks on I hug the rail like a fucking 4 year old headed to the deep end of the pool for the first time…

    Amen to that. We have neighbors that refuse to pick up their dogs shit in our yard. You would think living in a nice neighborhood that people wouldn't act like assholes with their dogs, but then you realize people aren't any different just because of where they live. Bastards. It's like the time I went into a bathroom at Walmart and there was a shitty diaper. Like wtf? You can't even throw it in the trash at the very least? People are the worst. 

    Depending on the WalMart, there were probably a few on the aisles….

    When I first started working for CompuServe, I meant to send an email to my dept. but accidentally addressed it to “All” which would make it company-wide. Fortunately they had a function where you could go to a command line interface and issue a command to delete the message so that anyone who hadn’t read it already would never see it. I never received a single reply.

    That was such a cool place to work. 

    The glory of the VMS mail, pre Exchange/Outlook days…

    Coburn is regressing because he's asked to do literally nothing. Go tell a DL their job is to take on 2 OL every play, and see how much they enjoy the game. All the joy he had for football is likely been driven out of him.

    Lol at 340 pounds what the fuck does he expect? We’re gonna run the fucking Philly Special for him?

    Dudes like Vince Wilfork and Haloti Ngata made a lot of money, won rings, and got tons of accolades because they realized that was their lot in life (football-wise, anyway) and embraced it….

    Top left is the worst thing I've ever seen, and I've been to Cleveland.

    Did you see Booger Presley’s mother’s douchebag while you were there?
