  1. Yeah I don't know about that. I'd go with "Bonney didn't look as athletic as freshmen in practice." With the amount of confusion and bone-headed plays we've seen this year, we could've certainly used some help back there from a guy whose main positive was his brain (since he wasn't the most athletic). He was also a solid tackler. Instead we get Locke forgetting to get set for plays, multiple guys refusing to tackle and every game we get a new receiver running wide-ass open for bombs. Running him off of a team with a thin depth chart full of guys who still haven't mastered coverages in our scheme was a short-sighted move.
  2. I'd take 5-2 100 times out of 100 with the shit we've been dealt over the last few months. Give me 2 out of the next 3 going into the game against the limping Rockets and I'll be ecstatic. DeRozan is really good at basketball.
  3. I went a couple months ago and got the Reuben, it was solid. Took too damn long to make a sandwich (30 minutes), but it was solid. It was middle of the lunch rush though.
  4. True, and pretty disappointing. But people will remember him fondly for that 2000. Boyd will gets shrugs.
  5. I know what's waiting behind him, but I also know that both of them are 1st or 2nd year players, not 4th year seniors who got left behind by their teammate who actually had NFL talent. There's still hope for Boyce and tons of hope for true freshman Cook (and Green). Boyd is at his max as a college player, literally, and is quickly running out of time to build a legacy here. He will be forgotten in 2 years.
  6. Or after they throw their first WR screen outside and it isn't blown up by Davis. He's not a great cover corner, but he adds value to this team at a position where not many other players are willing to mix it up like he is.
  7. Ball had some piss-poor effort on defense last night. He plays a bit like his brothers over in Uzbekistan or wherever they're playing. Like it's an AAU showcase. Lazy as shit. That reminds me of the LBJ shot at the end of regulation. Rudy Gay really, really disappointed me there. We're up by 3 with less than 7 seconds and he gives LBJ space above the 3 point line. He should've been hounding him as soon as he crossed half-court, and in no universe should he have been sagging off anywhere close to the 3 point line. Especially with so little time, you make him rush into a shot without his feet set at the very least. Even if he gets by you, at last make him rush the shot if you can't run him off the line.
  8. Averages sound good when discussing statistics, but so does mentioning that they played South Alabama and Missouri State early on. Did you account for that? How about the fact that they only put up 17 on Tech and 12 on Kansas State, and already have a game against Kansas to factor into their statistics?
  9. Not super-optimistic, but I do realize it's a viable game-plan. If you're scared to ask him to be a playmaker on Saturday, then put the ball in the hands of your 3 proven playmakers and let them work. CJ and Lil' J on the outside and Keontay inside. Shit, that's what Sterlin Gilbert used to free up room for D'Onta to run for 2,000, it just took us 3 and a half quarters to use it against Baylor's defense.
  10. I wish this was true. But the closest one to me is off Airport Blvd in Austin, and I never recommend that one. I still go there routinely, but I don't recommend it, it's just not quality. My favorites are usually in the nearest small town. The closer to Corpus the better.
  11. 82-0. We want the Warriors. I don't know what to make of this team yet, I don't know how we're going to find defense with the talent we have, but I'll be watching.
  12. I noticed that windfall too. I don't remember ever really paying attention to the fact that the clock keeps running (until we really, really needed it to Saturday).
  13. I just turned the corner to basketball season last week too. I was starting to get excited at the thought of DJM getting better, getting to witness the star that is DeMar, and just overall committing to this new Spurs team, but that injury is just a kick in the balls. Sports can be a real punk ass bitch sometimes. The silver lining is seeing Derrick White get his shot (and possibly even alleviate the talk of this team being a shit 3-point shooting team this year), but I think we all know this could be bad on the defensive end this year. I'll watch, but I'm not giddy about this season starting like I was last week.
  14. And none of this is to mention all the lines Conor crossed during build up. All the lines he could cross with Mayweather before they shared champagne (and/or blow) on the private jet before they flew to the next press tour stop. I'd pay a PPV fee just to hear/understand/translate what Khabib was saying to Conor when he was beating the shit out of him on the ground. That was some possessed/determined shit.
  15. He's not nearly as bad as Tristan Nickelson, or Shack last year, or Rodriguez at tackle last year, so our floor is definitely higher as an o-line, and that's important.
  16. I haven't been in this thread much because fuck Jones and Garrett and our refusal to help our secondary and our refusal to surround Dak with weapons that sorely needs............... but I'm quoting this bc I've never in my years of watching the Cowboys seen a QB throw to so many covered receivers in my life. I had just finished hearing that all of Dak's interceptions this year were apparently off of the hands of his receivers, when he threw ANOTHER one to a Texan that was also batted (and may have hit the hands of his receiver). But even if it did, it hit hands because he's consistently thrown into coverage this year. I know the receivers are bad, and it's true that the reasoning is partially because they can't fucking separate, but his decision making is not helping them out. You can't throw to a covered receiver who is below league average as it is. And wtf is up with these lines? Houston's O line has looked like dog shit all damn year, getting Deshaun beat up out there, and now they look like the Cowboys from 3 years ago giving him time to throw darts all across the damn field. Fucking ridiculous. I think I'm mentally done for this year too. I'll watch most of the games probably (ok maybe), but I'm done giving a shit.
  17. I hate that shit! Just go tf home already!
  18. Went to Micklethwait a few weeks ago on a rainy sunday (so no line). I was wondering if the rain would do anything to the wood/smoke or if it's generally not a good idea to go on a bad weather day, but that brisket/tex-czch sausage/pulled lamb plate was great. I've lived within a mile from it for about 3 years now and finally pulled the trigger to try it out. I'm a fan. Sausage was the least impressive (but still above average).
  19. I almost agreed with you but on second look the 2-toned fideo (brown & tan pieces) seems to be legit. Spaghetti only has tan.
  20. Yeah this doesn't hold up. First of all it's only drawing attention because it's funny. That taunting shit we did last year v. Missouri was way more embarrassing imo (which I still loved bc fuck 'em that's why). The big man (your 1-tech) makes a play and rubs his belly and it's funny and he deserves to, why would I as a Texas Ex get all high n mighty about it and start spouting off "we're Texas"?
  21. Are these tickets any more secure than the UT season tickets? There's people posting the barcodes all willy-nilly online on Craigslist and it makes me hesitant to make an offer. I've sold single-game tickets from my own seats and all you need on stubhub is the barcode. Could they be registered or something? Am I right to be hesitant?
  22. I felt it watching the highlights from the game. I watched the starting five and the bench, and waited to see one of "our" guys, and I saw Patty and that was cool, but then I just kept looking at whatever five were on the floor and thinking "these aren't THE guys".... No Manu, no Tony, not even a Danny. Dejounte is a great young prospect but I still don't consider him a "SPUR spur" yet. Not until he earns those wings (hell even Patty has). This is really LaMarcus' team now and it feels weird.
  23. I'm just on episode 3 and I'm already frustrated, but it's still entertaining. All the mixed reviews here are just about right... What's her hillbilly face extorting that old man for his business was pretty silly, as was his reaction, like they really needed to build that up for a 3 minute-shot climax. The FBI agent is also annoying as hell, what a trope. Just copy/paste scenes with the FBI dude from 'The Shape of Water' and call it a day, we already know his character.
