  1. Why is everyone so worked up about a 1 tech nose tackle? On a team that might have the best QB in the nation next season and will definitely have the best backup QB in the nation. Hell our two deep at QB might be the 2 best QBs in the nation in 2024. 
    Is it because Bobby Burton was acting like the team is doomed if they don't get a 1 tech? Come on now...
    Chill out and let dudes develop. We aren't completely bare at DT. We might have to adjust our defense a bit against run heavy teams but we have more than enough talent to do it. Alfred Collins is on a contract year and looked quick and powerful early in the spring game in just a few snaps. He could be this year's breakout defensive player. 
    I'm far more concerned with the lack of development outside of Muhammad in the secondary. But with this offensive explosive potential the defense needs to be solid. Not exceptional. Make plays when needed. 

    I agree. I think last year we were a defense led team bc we had so much experience on that side and we were bringing the offense along. This year will be the opposite, we have a lot of upperclassman experience on offense, it will lead the team and defense just needs to come along and not fuck it up.

  2. There is no narrative that we didn't want him because it's just about the money with him, this is another fantasy you created. His issue is low effort on the field (and no effort to stay on the field) and performance/production  that comes nowhere near his potential. This has been a common refrain since he first stepped foot on their campus and hasn't changed. 
    I didn't remember what a bad poster you are when you weren't around for a while. You're one of those people who seems better in memory than present reality so you should probably just go back to being a former poster. 

    I hope you are right and we dodged a bullet. I guess we’ll see. He probably won’t even see the field for ole miss. I definitely didn’t watch a lot of a&m last year so I’m relying on an impression I have that he was talented, maybe he sucks like you say.
  3. Sweat and Murphy ended up being much better. Collins will be good but the other DT will be a downgrade and we are missing a dominant NG.

    Yea, probably, but the edge rush will be better. Defense is such a complementary thing that even if the NG isn’t as good, the defense may be better and the NG won’t need to be as good. It all adjusts.

  4. This whole deal felt like Sark being aggressive to me. OU lured him into the portal but they had to sweat it and overpay because Sark went hard in the paint. This deal doesn't project strength for OU. They are limited and I think Sark is well aware. 

    Just adding stress to the system. I love it. Last year we were bemoaning the loss of coburn and ojomo. But sweat and Murphy stepped up. This year Collins and broughton may damn well step up too. Nice to have waves of experienced guys cresting like this.

  5. I don't think anyone had any confidence Nolen would actually play hard after he got paid


    He played hard on the field and is motivated to be drafted right? He won whatever fuck award those idiots gave him last year right before flipping them the bird and entering the portal last year, and he was one of the better DTs in the SEC. Maybe he wasn’t a culture fit, no way for me to know, but he was talented and the narrative that we didn’t want him bc it was only about money seems inconsistent since we’re pursuing this guy who wasn’t as good and is only about money.

    Anyway doesn’t matter now, we’re hoping to get this guy bc we didn’t get that guy.

    It actually doesn't suck that it is all about money. That is one of Texas’ superpowers. We want it all about money. 



    I guess…

    Did you put a monumental amount of effort into making this ridiculously stupid post or did it just naturally flow onto the screen?


    Not as much effort as it took for you to pull out all your big words and put them into one post.
  6. With the cowboys 3rd place nfc easy finish this makes 2000 years since we had a back to back nfc east winner 

    Cowboys will probably do pretty well in the regular season. Then lose as quickly as possible in the playoffs
  7. The other option is to just fuck off whatever you are using for a pressure side cleaner that probably has or will break, the pump and put the money in a robot cleaner.  That's what I finally did after over 10 years doing multiple minor repairs and then ultimately replacing a Polaris and a few years after that finally starting to hear the same noises out of my booster pump that indicated it was on its last legs.

    I had to wrestle with a Polaris and booster pump for years. Polaris repairs at Leslie’s pool supplies were always expensive. Shit didn’t work that well, and then the pump started making a racket and needed to be replaced or rebuilt. I pulled the whole thing and bought an electric dolphin with a 3 year warranty. It’s worked much better for me than the Polaris did.
  8. Sounds very good.

    Ended up being closer to $15k bc I replaced the filter system, added some additional rock wall thing, and had him tear out the framing for the deck and reorder because he used sealed wood instead of pressure treated and I wanted all pressure treated wood.

    We just used it for the first time this weekend and the extra space was definitely worth it, happy to start getting some payback from the investment.

  9. What does any of that have to do with the draft? My comment was about the draft grade and analyzing what we did in the draft. 

    My point was that the offseason mismanagement forced the team to approach the draft differently. We took guys where there was some consensus that they belonged, for whatever that’s worth, but we should have been taking other guys if the team hadn’t created additional problems for itself like it did
  10. The guy we took at the 29th pick, which most services had projected as a first round pick was not a reach. Our second round pick was projected to go in the second round. Our third pick was projected to go in the 2nd or 3rd round. This wasn’t a classic Jerry Jones special taking guys before their projection because he just fell in love with them. 
    I wish we had taken a RB with our second pick in the third round and found a linebacker somewhere else through free agency or trade. That’s my biggest critique. But we all knew OL was a bigger priority so I cannot complain about the first and third pick. 

    Yes cool. But the problem is the team has gotten worse since the playoff loss. If we were adding to that team then this might be all good. But we let Tyron walk and Stephon walk and pollard walk and so on and so fucking forth. We got demolished by Green Bay because we had no diggs and no lbers. We should be getting diggs back, adding cooper, and adding Beebe to last years team. Next year is gonna suck, and we’re “all in” on that for sure. Which is cool, just expect it. Let’s let Dak and McCarthy walk, bring in belicheck, and go to a model where we pay all players but QBs. Keep a qb on a rookie deal then let him walk or trade him for picks when he’s good. Fuck it

  11. I mean god damn cowboys. Take cooper, then in the 2nd take a center/guard. Later in the draft take Christian jones and move him to guard. Lots of things that could be done to strengthen the OL and still grab a sure fire player like cooper. Or take kool aid to play beside diggs since the team let Gilmore walk. This team has holes everywhere and I don’t think a project left tackle is the best move when there were certified starters and at least one game breaker available.

  12. The trade down and add a low 3rd was a good move.

    The team that lost to the packers needed a LBer and I think cooper will be an all pro. He is the player I was hoping the cowboys would take.

    But since the team has gotten decidedly worse since that loss to Green Bay, taking a CB or OL would be acceptable. I am not sure that Guyton will be that good, but I’m willing to give the team the benefit of the doubt, I guess.

    Overall, I think we should all expect the team to suck and go through a reboot cycle.

  13. Someone can correct me if I heard incorrectly, but I think Gerry said right now OU would be the leaders for Damonic Williams, but only because Texas didn't know he was coming out. Said they put together a good NIL pacakge but that obviously Texas was prepared meet. Also said this one is going to come down to fit/culture.

    This nil bs needs to come to its ultimate conclusion where athletic departments pay players directly and there are salary caps and shit.

  14. We are most definitely in the realm of if the team executes they should not drop a single game except against top ranked opponents who are evenly matched. Georgia next season comes to mind. 
    it’s really wild how this thread is so much different than years past. The jokes about surly not knowing how to act are so true. Everyone here knows better than to sunshine pump too hard but damn is it hard to talk much shit about this roster right now. 

    I have a certain rhythm to my sunshine pumping that I have honed in on over the years. Right now is the ‘we’re gonna be so good but there are other good teams on the schedule so let’s nitpick our weaknesses and assume something will soil the party next year.” But after a summer of nothing and fall camp, I will be frothing with a mouthful of “ we’re going to be un-fucking-beatable and here are 100 reasons why!” Followed by utter disillusionment should we do the unthinkable and lose a game. That will kick off a full grieving cycle where some parts will play out on the board and some in my real life.

    That is life and the good stuff is in the journey.

  15. I’ve tried a number of new ones lately, off the top of my head:

    Old forestor tw store pick 100proof : like it a lot, wish I bought the regular 100proof one to compare it to.

    Dickel 15 yr store pick 104 proof: this is awesome. My first Dickel and it’s a buy.

    Barrel foundations: this is ok, I was hoping for better, but meh

    Ben holliday soft red wheat: this is great. Definite buy.

    What I really need is a weller full proof and a 23staggjr. If anyone here can help me get those for msrp, that would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance

  16. Aside from a few bottles I keep around for special occasions, if I’m having a drink before dinner on a Wednesday night, it’s EWBIB.  It used to be Weller or Antique, but that ship sailed a long time ago.

    A lot of love for ewbib , I get having a cheapo to drink on, but why not keep a 101, early times, and of100, mm101, some sort of cheap good rye, etc on hand too? That way you can rotate around a little. Variety is fun.
