  1. He really has a great con going as a supposedly elite gate keeper. He tastes any power whatsoever and turtles up. He's not a bad counter puncher but still throws pussy ass arm punches like he's an amateur looking to score points. Wish pac would've finished him but oh well.
  2. Ha, I too have played a Spurs Legend's son in rec league basketball. David Robinson, Jr. is nowhere near the "honed" athlete his two brothers are though. Although he could bounce like his dad. Could jump all over the floor and even decent getting to the rim, but never ever wanted him to take a jump shot.
  3. Hook 'em, Shane. Always rooted for you to become more than what you did, but I don't completely blame you for not. You were a mid-4 star guy who should not have had to start as a true freshman, but you did and beat Notre Dame. Hang your hat on that. Should've had the benefit of a redshirt that a healthy program would've given him, should've had a decent QB to learn from that a healthy program would've given him (just think about the type of help he provides Sam, and ask who tf would have given him that his first two years?), should've had a better coach than Shawn fucking Watson to mold him. I think we'll be fine with Thompson as a backup and a true freshman as an emergency backup (where they should be). Rising is going to start somewhere, but so be it, this is the new era of transfer portals.
  4. I ejnoyed the fight. Was rooting for Uzcategui as the underdog, but Plant utilized his handspeed and movement very well in the first half of the fight. Likely he took all 6 first rounds. Figueroa looked good, much better than his older brother Omar. I've been a big Omar fan bc they're from the RGV, but as good as his record is Omar isn't going to go far with that style (no defense). Brandon looked to move around a bit more.
  5. People are starting to notice how tired he is (some Spurs twitter accounts/PtR guys). Get Rudy back, keep us long in the starting 5 and I think we'll be fine. I hated that loss to the Hornets, bc we're in a bit of a soft patch in the schedule right now, where I thought we'd really be able to make a move (LAC isn't playing well and HOU has a rougher patch coming with no Capela), but we were missing two key guys and DDR is getting tired. I'm confident Pop will cut DDR's minutes a bit with Rudy coming back. Let's get it rolling again and get down to 4/5 spot.
  6. I couldn't help but laugh at every clip they showed of McFarland and Ja Rule together getting interviewed. They ask Ja Rule anything about the festival and he just smiles and says some random general shit ("it's revolutionary" type shit) and hoped the CEO would take over. Won't spoil it yet but the last 15 minutes made me just as happy as when it was happening in real-time on twitter. Rich kids spending silly money to feed their egos and got Kraft Single sandwiches (not even cheddar)? Show me more, please.
  7. Seen that exact play earlier. But when the Rams need a 1st? McVay has something in his back pocket for our asses. Garrett is to busy clapping to even have a free hand to search his pockets.
  8. Huh? The Eagles went 13-3 behind a Top 5 YPG and PPG defense last year. They were also Top 5 in rushing yards/game and Scoring offense. I can't think of the last time we had a defense as good as we do right now, and that is evidenced by our playoff win. We're in the Elite 8, about where we should be by playing to our potential. I don't think we're statistically good enough to make it to the Super Bowl, but I've also seen our defense play to its 100% potential and beat the Saints, so I know that it can be down (however unlikely).
  9. His muscles arre numberrr one.
  10. Agreed. In those Tony Romo games we had above-average defenses that could play with a lead but if we had to stop any sort of decent offense in a shootout, good luck. Our defensive backs haven't inspired confidence in me in a damn decade, and I think I'm finally getting close. Saturday I thought that exact thing, for the first time in a long time I'm confident that our pass rush can get there and our DBs can make enough plays to stop a late charge if need be, we're finally "good" not just above average. Hopefully that doesn't come back to bite me in the ass this weekend.
  11. Will be glad to see Danny back tonight at least, looking forward to his ovation. Fuck Kawhi. Fuck 'em. But, I don't think DeMar will match-up well tonight, if he can give us solid numbers 15-20, with LMA and Derrick White staying hot, along with the role players hitting 3s, we can still take them.
  12. So great that he came from a P5 program, and a great school, but still seemed absolutely thrilled to be a Longhorn every time I saw clips of him. He deserved all the touches he got this year and I'm glad he gets to call himself a Longhorn for life now.
  13. I really enjoy that 3rd down confidence that I haven't felt since VY and Colt were with us. 3rd and 7? No fucking problem. 3rd and 10? I'm cool, Sam got it, just watch. What a comforting feeling to have a badass under center.
  14. Not a huge Charlo fan but I generally pull for them. Sucks to see Jermell be on the end of a shit decision. The argument for it is pretty silly and ignores how the fight actually unfolded. Harrison was cautious and timid the entire fight and refused to scrap.
  15. I'm still pissed about Trey Allen
  16. Seconded. About half an hour in I was getting Linklater vibes with all the meandering but somewhere along the way the story catches you and it's also not hard to notice this guy is a fuckin pro with the camera work. Beautiful movie for being black & white.
  17. Great show. Best under the influence bc you feel like you're just there chillin' with the homies talkin' shit. Bronson and Mayhem seem cool as hell but I could do without Alchemist and Body. Those dudes are just along for the ride. And of course Alchemist would rather be eating McDonald's every night than the fine dining they try to put him on.
  18. They didn't give me that option. They said they weren't doing cancellations but would be charging today or tomorrow. I'm turning my debit card off. Why am I getting F'd as a season ticket holder? Don't mail me shit I didn't pay for.
  19. 34,000 minutes. Top Artists: Miguel, Anderson .Paak, Toro y Moi, Pusha T, The Internet. Thought the first page was pretty funny, Fleetwood Mac mentioned along with BG (from Cash Money).
  20. What'd you think? I thought every damn guitar solo was incredible. And damn near every song had a solo.
  21. Surprised not to see any mention of Gary Clark's 3 shows this week in Austin. I'll be there tonight for the final one. Been waiting since f'ing June.
  22. They had 143 yards at 3.1 per rush. I don't know about "pushing us around." They also got a substantial amount of that off of jet sweeps (including 28 yards on a TD), before we figured out how to defend that, and while we had Malcolm Roach lumbering around the middle of the field masquerading as a starting LB. AND Gary Johnson got kicked out in the 2nd quarter. I ran the highlights of that game back and man we aren't even close to that defense we trotted out week 1. No BJ Foster, no Gary, and Malcolm was getting reps at MLB next to GJ (he played as a NT in the second half of the season, and in game 1 we had him trying to catch receivers off jet sweeps as a LB). Not to mention Kasim Hill had knees during week 1 and Georgia has starting QB that won't misdirect with triple option BS.
  23. He'll play more 4-man lines and ask Hager to take on less double-teams and "free up the LB" duty. At least I hope he would. ISU gameplan all the way. I respect Breckyn. But I'm glad this is going to be his last game as a starting DE at the University of Texas. He'll finish Top 3 in our hearts, but nowhere near the Top 5 DEs we've had on campus in the 2010s.
  24. Who has Golovkin ever lost to that he beat 11 rounds to 1? Good scrap. Went all according to script (power vs. boxing skills script) aside from the questionable decision. I was rooting for Wilder, but yes Fury probably still deserved a win after that fight.
  25. Finishing out my last hour of work this week on the 40 acres...... from campus: FIIIIIIIIIGHT!
