    Who is this QB coach?  “Just sprint out full speed and chuck a bunch of bombs at some dude standing downfield.  Nah, don’t worry about technique - if it feels good, do it.  That’s my motto.  So, anyway, have your dad make the check out to ThrowingKing.”

    That vid was a lot better than the April one. Getting his shoulders more square now, throwing with some power. His footwork is still a work in progress for sure, as is his accuracy. What's unquestionable is that Jackson has the better build to survive in Herman's system. He resembles Ehlinger much more closely than Card does. Then again Herman made good use of 5-10 170 lb Greg Ward at UH so who knows (yes Ward inevitably broke down but while he was healthy he was good). 

  2. Louie’s Backyard has turned into a fucking shell of itself. Don’t go there. Wanna Wanna is still ok, and there’s a cool little bar called Cocunut Jacks on the bayside that has good coconut shrimp.

    I get emotional every time I think about SPI. Went there literally every summer as a kid. Usually 10ish relatives staying in one hotel room, swimming at the beach with my cousins all day, seeing how many different hotel pools we could sneak into, crab hunting at night. Some of my favorite memories in life.

    This rule is trying to fix something that doesn’t need to be fixed. 80% of extra inning games end by the 12th inning

    20% is not an insignificant number, at all. Much higher than I imagined it’d be actually.

    Yeah, that's fine.  It's just that you jumped on the bandwagon of the biggest winners from two thousand miles away, and now you're talking shit to a bunch of guys who grew up watching Nolan Ryan in the Dome.  And your bandwagon team is just as guilty of cheating as our hometown team is, so you can shelve the sanctimonious crap. 

    Have you ever even been to The Bronx?

     

    I’ve seen 5 games at Yankee stadium, including 1 at the old one as a kid. Major lulz at Astros fans calling anyone else “bandwagon”. I think I went to MMP once a summer from like 09-13, tickets were so cheap. Don’t know that I ever saw it more than 30% full. Well except for Pettitte’s farewell the last weekend of 2013. Imagine that.

    Sorry that you hate free markets & capitalism.

    Aren't you from the Valley?

    Yeah. It's 6 hours from Houston and the Astros were never on TV, can't imagine why I never felt a connection with them.

    Of course it would be dumb for Acho. He's a smart guy, but Shapiro would destroy him if it got into a serious discussion and Acho started pushing back on Ben's points. Ingraham hovers the line too much for even me.

    Shapiro is no moron, but he has a hard time "destroying" anyone that isn't a freshman liberal arts major. It's no coincidence those Q&A's are his best soundbites.

    Charlie's legacy will be that of a leader who saw his players quit on him. He was one of the worst head coaches college football has seen in the last 30 years. 

    Charlie sucked here, but this kind of hyperbole is what brings unnecessary validity to claims of racism. There’s no way “one of the worst head coach coaches in 30 years” could have an overall winning record at HC. Not by all that slim a margin either or in a tiny sample size, 74-53. You can think he sucked at Texas while recognizing that overall as a head corch he’s been mediocre.

    i get almost zero right or heavy right tik toks. i do get a ton of milf tik toks though 

    might want to take off your maga hat while surfing tik tok lulz 

    I go on there to laugh at shit, not to see anything political. When I first got one it was showing me all these conservative political vids. I did the “not interested” thing on a few, but then it started showing me a bunch of liberal ones. Hit “not interested”, and now it’s showing me conservative bullshit again. Pretty frustrating and a big turn off really. 

  9. Are we really buying the “tiktokers bought out the tix” theory? Sadly, I have a tik tok & you can tell from comment sections on political vids it leans heavily, heavily right. Maybe it’s bots or hyperactive trolls, but that image is there. I think he just didn’t sell that many tickets. Kind of shocking/pathetic.

  10. Talked about it before, but family legend is my great great grand-uncle or some shit was lynched by the Texas Rangers. There's a famous corrido written about it. Definitely lots of animosity and violence between the Rangers and the Tejano community back then. Like, lots of it. But hey the Rangers aren't as feared an agency anymore and hispanics still have a massive presence in the state, I'd say we won in the end. Even I'm not really offended by their name and don't care if they keep it. If there's a big pressure to change the name, it won't come from most in the hispanic community.

    I think they players want to be treated equally regardless of their win record. 

    I do as well. I’m just saying, many people equate success with legitimacy. Why I called it an “ugly fact of life”.

  12. I’d be open to replacing The Eyes with “Kooda” by 6ix9ine if it meant we were playoff contenders every year. 
     

    Ugly fact of life Herman & the team must learn: if you want more people to take you seriously, win more games. 4 losses a year & walk-off field goals against Kansas aren’t going to open up a lot of ears.

    don’t feel threatened by her truth, david. 

    She’s basically saying black people should shut up about changing things because black on black violence is a bigger problem. By that logic, they shouldn’t work on changing that either because heart disease is responsible for 4x as many black deaths per year as homicides are.

    I'm a big fan of those guys, but never really took to D'Elia.  Something about his energy seemed off to me.

    I think a big part of it is how he claims to have never once tried drugs or alcohol.  He's also weirdly and openly close with his parents on social media.  Don't get me wrong, some of my best friends are sober, but their sobriety is a learned decision, if you will.  They know what they're missing (and don't miss it).

    If someone has never once messed with chemical alteration of their mind, I initially wonder what fucked up impulse they're trying to bottle up.

    I’ve never done illegal drugs, rarely drink alcohol. Growing up everyone smoked and drank, not doing that stuff was just my way of standing out a little bit. Getting to my teen years & having friends of mine get shot, stabbed, beaten, robbed during drug deals made the choice even easier. Never felt the need to try it, still dont. But I guess I’m a piece of shit & there’s something deeply wrong with me though.

    And will keep being swept until it disappears.

    Staff Sgt affords home in Heights/Stone Oak?

    ME "releases" names but no cause of death?

    Mil Intel doesn't get every morning call from Cyber-intel agent, so calls city cops? 

    Cops enter house, smell fumes, panic? But didn't see note on door until later?

    Such absolute bullshit.

    That specific neighborhood isn’t outrageously nice or anything. I also imagine they were renting, they had only lived there since January.
