  1. A team that pushes the ball downfield, versus these PI-prone corners? Yikes. Puckering up in prep for Saturday. Lots of shitty deep balls gonna be flying, with no intent to actually catch them, just trying to catch a shitty CB getting handsy and not playing the ball.
  2. It's a multi-year process sure, but it also has to actually be fruitful. We need impact players at DE and at LB. We got young guys, but are any of them sure-fire talents? Are we sure that 2 years from now we'll be able to say "LB is shored up now and so is DE and now we got everything we need to field a complete defense." He's got to hit while recruiting, otherwise his multi-year process will be a waste of time. We've missed out on some big-time state DL and LB prospects in the past few years. That can't continue. If we keep taking shots on 3 stars and portal re-treads Sark will really have his work cut out for him.
  3. I'm not too sad, this was a bunch that played hard more often than not, and found themselves alive a lot longer than most expected. Today was disappointing, and they definitely seemed to be way too small and soft for what LAFC had to offer, but hopefully we get better after this offseason.
  4. Altuve got away with a blooper, made it infinitely less likely we'd get away with two. That wasn't a perfectly placed one in RF.
  5. The dude is batting under .180 for the 2nd half of the season and 0-15 in the post? C'mon mannn....
  6. What a crazy night for Keldon to have a crazy night. GSG.
  7. This is crazy. So unexpected. But I can't help but laugh thinking it was something racially charged. Honestly...... nobody would care if he said some shit about white people. The more likely thing would be him saying he hates Mexicans since he's surrounded by Brown people all over SA. Which would kinda be hilarious tbh. Just from the unexpectedness, and I'm Mex-American. I would imagine it's domestic.... or drugs. Who knows.
  8. UUUU and IBRX are both up 11% the past week. "Coincidentally". Instead of buying shares in either, I should be betting that next week they will both drop over 5% and it will have nothing to do with the price of uranium.
  9. Best case scenario would seem like it, but I also can't help but laugh at the red-ass aggy that aren't partaking in this and decide to stay. After Jimbo has shown you what an idiotic plan he has conjured up to win at A&M, and proved how much of a fraud he is.... if you're still aggy after all this shit, you deserve the laughs you get for being associated with this joke of an era of aggy football. Good luck and enjoy living in your aggy circle for the rest of your life.
  10. This isn't how any of this is supposed to go! GSG. TST. WTF. IDK. LOL.
  11. What a great sports day all around. They went out there and kicked ass early and often. Felt good to not have that 20 minutes of "settling in" time before they got going. And they never let up either. Impressive. And it makes it a hell of a lot easier when you have the best player on the pitch by a mile.
  12. Kittle was celebrating a bit too hardcore for my liking. Making a 2 score game into a 1 score game and acting like he'd taken them back to the super bowl. Very satisfying that they promptly give up 16 unanswered after that.
  13. Good point. What was he supposed to learn from this game? That losing efforts are acceptable and not a bad thing as long as we can make up a moral victory for it? Getting your ass kicked and playing like shit aren't things you should be preparing for in case they come again. They shouldn't be happening at all or you should be preparing to ride bench.
  14. Headed to Parker McCollum at the Moody here in a bit. Excited to see the new arena finally. Not even much of a country guy, but I'm expecting there to be tons of talent there. And Parker's alright, I can stand his songs at least. Hearing his stories of being a Texas kid that headed to Austin to become an artist made me more of a fan.
  15. This show keeps teasing me on the Hulu screen, and I keep passing it up. Guess I'm in the majority (on this thread) now. I watched the first episode and it was about as satisfying as a big wet fart. Building up the wife to be the new villain. June is broken and can't accept getting away and NEEDS to go back to the fight and set up another season of her undercover again? And of course ended with yet another close up of her face. Once I saw the face shot I figured they were just poking at us with that and letting us know they weren't changing for shit. Just a retread of past seasons. Not sure I'll ever get around to episode 2.
  16. Definitely a huge let down, and both sides are pointing the finger. They failed boxing and nobody should buy that bullshit fight. Just like Fury fighting that other British Bum for a 3rd time. They wouldn't do these brazen cash grabs if people would stop supporting it.
  17. But but, the Bregman HR wasn't even hit well, and was actually a good pitch if you think about it. Ump gives you away and low? Throw high and inside to a guy that's been putting playoff baseballs into the Crawford Boxes for half a decade. If it wasn't for the one swing Severino would've been dominant!
  18. Got an email from the fan club yesterday about $20 opening night tickets (Manu's jersey being hung on the rafters!)...... I'm kinda excited for the season and to see how much Devin and Keldon develop, and Sochan actually starting... but the $20 ticket email is a rough reminder, we're gonna f'ing suck and they will be struggling to give away tickets. Don't care, got mine for Moody in the spring anyway.
  19. Fuck yeah!! What a shit performance for most of the team, but Stuver let his nuts hang when it mattered most.
  20. Well damn, really glad I didn't make a $100 last second decision to go. If it was August I might be a lot more confident for us scoring 3 in 75 minutes. Nice to see Finlay get a few weeks off and now get put in, probably in much less form when he was playing well for us in the middle of the season. What was the point of bringing Rigoni in as an automatic starter then? He should've sat his ass on the bench when he got here.
  21. Won't pick on them too much until they break again. I'm still happy with this defense. Aside from the "keep everything in front and make the offense execute" angle of the defense, there's also the factor that people don't mention as much..... The more you plays you run, the better change our defense is going to make a big play themselves. An INT, a forced fumble, etc. If OK state can't handle our D line, we'll see big plays next week. It might be an oversight, but I want to see Sanders prove it. I remember seeing him two years ago and thinking how much of a fraud he was. Obvs he's older and in the system now, but make him prove he can make a 2nd or 3rd read.
  22. One thing that bothers me is my inability to sleep on my back if I put the pillow pressure directly on the back of my head, where my head connects to my neck, right under where the skull softens up back there. I've also though maybe it's that the blood is pooling in that area, but it gives some gnarly nightmares if I fall asleep that way. Started out of nowhere in my mid-20s, and still affects just about every time I accidentally fall asleep that way a decade later. I became a side sleeper or a back sleeper where my head is turned at least 45 degrees to a side. I had two dreams where I literally woke up and got to work immediately started coaching myself to forget whatever I just dreamt and not think about it too much, because I know what causes it (the sleeping position), and that position activates some of the darkest things my imagination has ever come up with. Luckily I don't remember them, I just remember waking up terrified twice, one of them definitely screaming. Definitely had sleep paralysis a few times in that position too. I do remember one dream where I fell asleep with the back of my head on my couch armrest and it triggered a dream with my grandma in it a few years after she passed away. We were just chillin in her living room but she was there and it felt so real but instead of being happy to see her I remembered she was dead and started crying. I blame the sleeping position on that pain feeling so vivid. Certainly just as vivid as when I was at her funeral, but the despair and pain came back out of nowhere that night. I feel like if I would've had the dream while sleeping in a different position the feelings of pain/sadness wouldn't have hit at all, maybe would've just had good memories.
  23. I thought this week was a good episode. Enjoyed.
  24. Can't wait til an actual competent coaching staff smacks you in the fucking mouth for trying to go for 8 4th downs in a single game and boat races you by 28 at the half because you can't be a dumbass against all big 12 teams. Let another coaching staff find out your QB is basically Hudson Card plus 30 pounds. Just wait!
  25. I know this is loser talk but I'm going to say it anyway because I'm still pissed. Fuck you you cocksucker. The only things running through Lubbock require a condom to stop. Beating Texas is the ONLY thing that matters to your fans. After you lose to K state on Saturday and your stadium goes back to 60% full, it will hit you that mediocrity (but beat Texas) is a damn good target for Tech, and always will be. You won your super bowl, but as the longhorns know, playing your super bowl in front of a sold-out home crowd is a nice advantage to have for a week. Your 3* will show 5* hustle for a game. Get back on the road and prove you're not the definition of mediocre then come talk to me.
