    Yep. Obviously Brock needs to make the tackle. Jones didn’t do Jack. Dunn was poor. Cook was the primary problem though.

     

    This gif is legit art.  No UT fan will blame the same player because there are so many interpretations as to who fucked up.  

    I see a butterfly.

  2. After a string of around 100 delicious homemade oven-baked pizzas, I decided to buy an Ooni because grow the fuck up, that's why.

    I only made enough dough for two pizzas for my maiden voyage.  Well, daughters had to eat sandwiches because pizzas sucked.  Two rays of sunshine:  (1)  the very little that wasnt burnt or just f'ed up was delish and (2) my first pizza was an F while the second one came in at a solid D- so trendline is to the moon.

  3. I booked in March 2022 for a late June trip and tried many times to get Ahwahnee and failed.  A friend who has stayed there various times said to call 10 days before and try to get a cancellation as she has had luck with that but that didn't work for us.

    Yosemite is amazing and wish we could go back soon.  I recommend renting bikes and riding between hiking trails (easy ones from your olds comment).  It's never that steep if that is a concern.

    I have a compulsion to translate gibberish into what’s actually meant by it to clarify things. I don’t know why but I can’t stop myself when someone confuses people by misusing words but I understand the point they are trying to make. 

    Thanks anyways for helping this damsel in distress.  If I ever brush up against a bulletin board genius again,  I hope you come to my aid.

    we want to know about the risk of potentially losing games.  what kind of risk are you talking about?  because card is definitely at a higher risk of putting an L on the board than ewers.

    I'm being pedantic and trader-like about the word risk so I'll just stop there.

    Card gives us higher probability of losing an increased number of games, yes.  And as a result, I hope he is our backup QB and QE gets 1st team reps for both growth and programmatic perception purposes.

    If I know that a guy shits himself in the pocket and has an almost craven need to throw pick 6’s on the reg, that makes him “low risk” because I already know that he presents my worst case scenario at QB? Okay, then. 

    Yes, you got the concept.

  7. Card is absolutely lower risk than Ewers.  We know more how he will do and thus, lower risk.  Low risk does not mean better, btw.

    Ewers could suck.  He could be first pick of NFL draft.  That is higher risk.  And Sark will bet on that upside so let's get behind Quinn and stop the BS.

    This is my favorite message board narrative. That the coaches purposely don't play the better players.

    Most of time, I'm with ya.  But I remember Mack not playing freshmen versus OU until we were down by 50 because "Jim, these freshmen are throwing up in that tunnel from nerves."

  9. If you believe practice reports and FCB, then I bet you go broke every time you hit the strip club because you really believe, for those few Def Leppard songs, that Cinnamon thinks your acne and man tits are sooo cute.

  10. Lived there for a couple of years and if you stay in same side of town, love it.  Don't try and cross town too many times. 

    Lot of people had great suggestions so only touristy thing I'd add is renting bikes in Santa Monica and riding to Will Rogers state park area.  A fun daytime event.

     

  11. I don't know what will happen in episode 6 but I have to imagine this has decent ending for Jimmy. 

    The question is how much damage happened to get Jimmy to that decent ending (a la Andy Dufresne and the Sisters or worse).

    Either way, have definitely enjoyed this show so far.

    In some vague part of a dream last night, Hudson Card opened the season as a starter. It woke me up. I don't think I've had a dream with UT football in it maybe ever. Fucking Ewers better be the guy from the jump.

     

    @closetohumping 

    Your REM wasn't established enough yet to remember the early part of dream where Ewers sustained an injury during camp because that is only way your dream is true.  But still.....10% chance your dream becomes reality.

    Ha. It's very much luck. Our best couple friends, the husband is from Scotland and his family has a working farm of around 1k acres. Livestock, etc, and he's one of 3 brothers. Their mom is a piece of work, and she's got strong opinions, etc. Anyway, the middle brother will inherit the farm, because he's the one who stuck around to work it, etc. The other brothers will inherit other things from their parents. But the brother who works the farm, he gets paid an ok wage, but it sounds like the farm is closer to a break even enterprise. Anyway, the point is, he doesn't have much in the way of retirement with his wife, but he'll have all this land that he'll never want to sell, so he's somewhat trapped.

    Anyway, the farmland has 3 cottages on it now that I believe they rent out for additional income. The idea would be that my family could buy one of these cottages and a small section of land around it, while the middle brother gets to continue to work the farm, but with a bit more peace of mind. Wed include into the agreement access to the other 1k acres for ourselves, walking and hiking, etc. All conversations about this would have to take place after their mother passes away, but our friend broached the topic with us, and  has brought it up with his brother as well, so it's this vague concept that is out there. Personally, the land is beautiful, and it seems like a great place to travel from across Europe. That being said, owning property in the UK is an expensive motherfucker form a tax perspective. 

    Fwiw, I just brought up Scotland as one place I'd like to move if there is ever a civil war here.  Costa rica, Canada, Ireland, Scotland, and Ecuador made our top five.  

    So do it (when she dies).

    Lol. Yeah. I had forgotten about Aberdeen until halfway through my post and forgot to amend it. See the part about a bachelor party. I've never had a NORMAL visit of Scotland where by BAC was consistently below .1 for any period of time. 

    Then I believe my one week in Scotland doesn't count.

  15. Truth was top notch today.  Stood in line because I'm old school like that.  

    Though if we were to rank pet peeves, people cutting > slow ordering.  

    I've started to just walk ahead of people who are right in front of me and allow people to cut.  Today, we were already in the inside part of the line with life-saving a/c when 5 people barreled past everyone in line outside and then ahead of us to join their law firm coworkers that were directly in front of us.  I just told all of those folks  "we are going to go ahead and get in front of all of you" and just walked ahead of them.  They were not amused (and said so in their lawyerly way) but I'm fine being Larry David in this situation.  Sorry, not sorry.

    And yes, online ordering saves you from that too.  So maybe yall have something there.....

    Ps their Brussel sprouts were on fire delish today

    If you like Reacher, you'll like the Terminal List.  If you disliked Reacher, you'll dislike the Terminal List.  Both shows are escapism TV for middle-aged men.

    Reacher.  Shooter.  Terminal list.  All hallmark movies for men.  Same plot, quite predictable, yet oh so entertaining.

    I will say other than a “proper chippy”, the native food sucks. If you like Indian food, there will be plenty of options for you.

    Agreed.  Most local food wasn't great but food scene was really good.  Somehow ate various very tasty non-local meals.  I did not expect that.

  18. Few of us went and we fell in love with the place.  Hire a local driver when you do scotch tours.  

    We stayed in Edinburgh and fantastic restaurants though I can't remember any specific names.  Oddly enough, one of best Italian meals I've ever had.

    Also, little town called Tomintoul had a great restaurant and we stayed at a hotel there that we all thought was haunted.  Never had felt that energy before (nor have since).  Who knows.

    Also, they hate it when you put more than a drop of water in your scotch.  I like ice in my scotch so got many comments on that. I am too old to care too much about others judgments on ice in my drink but it was interesting convo.
