  1. Regardless of the draft I’d expect us to pick up a 2-down veteran DT between now and camp. Between post-draft cuts and trade possibilities there should be some solid (not spectacular) options out there. Might see some movement with one of the remaining FA safeties if we don’t pick one up Day 2/4th round….

    I've seen Mike Sainristil mocked to Houston a few times recently, and it's worth noting that he's an old prospect, and Houston has shied away from drafting older players high the past few years 

     

    Here's the ages of the top nickel corner types. Rakestraw and Phillips have both visited

    Ennis Rakestraw Jr- 21.9

    Max Melton- 22.0

    Andru Phillips- 22.4

    Renardo Green- 23.5

    Mike Sainristil- 23.6

    Think one thing that works in his favor is that he only started playing DB as a Junior. IIRC he was projected to be a mid Day 3 selection last year, so coming back to up his draft stock to mid/high 2nd round was definitely the right move. I love the way the guy plays, though I’d be happy with Tampa/Rakestraw as well…

    Pretty sure CDC said Fair Park and Dallas PD want the game to remain at 11am for crowd control. 

    As long as Fair Park starts making an effort to keep the post-halftime bum rush slightly more orderly than the evacuation of Saigon, they can kick that fucker off at 6AM for all I care…

    A eunuch is a castrated male.  Bevo is a eunuch.  My dog Sebastian is a eunuch.  They both have dicks.

    So neither of them was responsible for shutting off the power grid?

    Night after in AA will not be fun win or lose. It’s a big bummer from a fan experience that it’s not a night game because night games at the big house are legendary, but it was always a big noon game and they don’t give a shit about the day of experience for fans. 

    Im cooking some stuff up that should be pretty fun. 

    Looking forward to it man; last year in Tuscaloosa was a blast…

    If anybody else is staying in Chicago versus Detroit, consider hitting up Wrigley on Friday or Sunday, Cubs host the Yankees.  Will be wild to my childhood brain to see those two teams on the same field in person.  

    The Cubs game the day before we played Notre Dame up there last time was epic. Probably 10K people in burnt orange; got a March Grandiso and 3-4 rounds of the fight song from the organist, plus probably another 5-6 impromptu Texas Fight chants. 

    The next day, on the other hand…

    11am is perfect for us. A severely depleted Michigan team getting a not fully lubed up Big House. The entire reason this game moved was so Fox could have one of 2 last Texas games. The other will be Ohio State in 2025.

    Also plenty of time to get back to Detroit and get back home; looking forward to day before in AA, not so much night after….

  8. I’ve been wearing out Seger the last couple of months; Live Bullet was the first piece of music I ever owned (Xmas 8 track, 1976)…

    Why wouldn't Linklater still have it set in 1976?

    in my drunken state, this story is somehow appropriate….


    Ted Williams was interviewed one time by a sportswriter who served him up what he thought was an easy question - “Ted, if you played against these pansy pitchers of today, how high would your average have been?”

    ”Oh, probably about .270 or so”

    ”Wow, that’s all? Figured you’d think it would be way higher!”

    ”Well shit, I’m fucking 82 years old!”

    Texans picks from Brugler's 7 round mock

    42) Mike Sainristil- CB- Michigan

    59) Ruke Orhorhoro- DT- Clemson

    86) Kamren Kinches- S- Miami

    123) Brandon Coleman- OL- TCU

    127) Will Shipley- RB- Clemson

    188) Jaylen Harrell- Edge- East Michigan

    189- Nathaniel Watson- LB- Miss State

    247- Willie Drew- CB- Virginia State

    All over Sainristil; he’s a total DeMeco guy. My Clemson co-workers (live in ATL) are split on Ruke; all agree he’s a leader and effort is there, but may be more athlete than football player. Dudes universally love Shipley, especially on 3rd down….

    Another guy who's in the second round range. Very skilled, but below average measurables and has some medicals

     

    Can’t say I watched a lot of Mizzou this year but Rakestraw appears on a lot of ‘high propensity for bust’ lists….

    United has flights to/from Houston and Bentonville. It's extremely easy to get to an Arkansas game from Houston. 

    This is true; I made that flight for work way more fucking times than I wanted to….
