Definitely seen this. He'll also see someone streaking down the side, look them off for other options, and then pass to them after the defense has caught up to them. It's so frustrating, but I'm pretty sure I've seen multiple players do this. It slows down the entire attack and is frustrating. We look most dangerous counter-attacking using speed down the sides, but Poche doesn't seem to value that option.

The last run from Cecilio in the box (coming down the left flank) reminded me that there's a reason he started the season there. He and Manneh actually challenged defenders one on one out wide. I like Stroud and Gallagher, but they don't seem to add more than running really hard out wide. They don't have the confidence to challenge a defender head-on. I also said a few weeks ago Cecilio is better at doing what we are trying to get Pochettino to do, but I'm not sure who would play up top if you drop him to the midfield. That's the conundrum Wolff is in. If you send Cecilio back out wide we got nobody worth a shit to play 9, if you move him back then we still got nobody to play 9.

Paid as a top 3 player on this team and doesn't play like one of our best 7 or 8.

You can find them on SeatGeek's app. But if you join the group, you can get them for face value if anybody is selling through their Slack, so I've heard. The cheapest ticket for Sunday is $115 on SeatGeek, in the supporter's section.

Texas vs Mississippi State: College World Series
We look like SWAC hitters when they reach the regional tournament. This is garbage.

Fuck this god-damned catcher for framing every fucking pitch, and fuck this shit ass ump for falling for it like a bitch.

I was in 234 and loved how the Verdes sounded all game. The chants in person around town have sounded ok, but at the game it was like a heartbeat for the action. It was great. We moved over there for the last 15 minutes to meet some friends. Nobody checking tickets or anything.

Another great day for NOVN. 21+% on the day. 110+% over a week. According to twitter the new PTs that came out last week are starting at $28, then $40, and Friday a $90 dropped. Somebody should run tell Reddit....

2021 UFC/MMA thread
I know this board hates Nate Diaz, but fuck it, that's exactly why he's the fan favorite. He isn't the best boxer, isn't fast enough or even have enough pop, but he knows his game and is decent enough at boxing timing, and will just try to wear the person in front of him out until the technical aspects are no longer a factor. He had Leon cross-eyed for about 7 seconds there and just pointed at him and laughed instead of rushing to finish him off. I don't understand it, but I kinda do.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2023: Strippers, Monkeys, and 5-Stars
Bring that dang kid home already Sark. He looks like a Longhorn in that burnt orange and has 75% less derp than his (uncles?) Eli and Peyton.

Part of me wanted to say that the "cauldron" thing is a joke, it's 5 degrees cooler than in Austin, and 10% less humidity..... but then again they haven't trained in Austin during the summer yet, and have spent months on the road already so it's not like they're here much.... but anyway, they shouldn't be the ones faltering due to weather in this league for long.

It's embarrassing to watch.

STUUUUUVVVVERRRRRRRR ..... What a great move to show the open legs then cross them at the last second. Sounds like me trying to get laid after a night on East 6th.

First 10 minutes were one-sided, we're coming on a bit. Ball is flowing a bit more during the counters....

2 minutes in and Pochettino already turned the ball over because he's slow to do ANYTHING with the ball, as usual. Dominguez had all kinds of space on the right but he hesitated for a second and dispossessed. I and all-in on this team, except for this guy.

I think the IBRX mentions led me to buying NOVN off some twitter research. What a good day, but honestly I'm just back to even now. I didn't think I bought in that late (I think I was in around 1.60), but the r/s seems to have put me in an even bigger hole. Here's to some more positive research findings...

Just different email addresses, so you'll need to create different accounts.

Waiting over a week for my first as well. Put in another on Sunday so 2 days on that one. Hoping to get this damn jersey before Game 1.

Uber/Lyft. What's the verdict?
As a rider, I hate the surges, but as a driver, it literally does what it's designed to do, get me off my ass to make $25+/hour, which is worth it to me. So I understand the market. Pre-covid a normal rate would be closer to $12-15 on weeknights, maybe $15-18 if it's a busy season, which is hardly outpacing the wear it adds on my car and gas prices.

In their defense, it's a bunch of Latin folks trying to recreate a Latin American style of soccer fandom. In English. Fuck an aggy.

It was a hassle, but after an hour of SeatGeek crashing I finally snagged 3 for the home opener. Estoy listo. See y'all there.

This Khruangbin song is just so sexy tho
They had a song on the premier episode of "Hacks" on HBO too. They're getting $$$$. Also, checking in to the thread. Got my tickets for their Stubb's show in September. I also saw them open for Chicano Batman at Emo's a few years ago but they hadn't quite exploded yet. They've long since eclipsed.....
