  1. Silly? I would have agreed at the conclusion of last season. But In spite of the momentum we are spiraling downward. Now that’s silly.
  2. Bregman doesn't look like Bregman. The look on his face is "I see dead people..." or some shit. I think he started to think about things. Got inside his own head. Or maybe his girlfriend took massage lessons from Corea's fiance'.
  3. So if I charge the mounds, Nolan will kick my ass?
  4. Much of this is correct. However, there are some unsettling trends shaping up with the program. I can accept losses and even scary wins, if the overall trajectory appears upward. The dipshit play calling and the catastrophe defense, are not upward trends. Neither are the stupid but apparently acceptable penalties and special teams gafs. A decrease in the incidence of penalties and ST mistakes would indicate awareness of, and addressing of the problems. I don't see that. On defense, I see bodies hurtling into the line of scrimmage from the D. backfield with no apparent benefit and an obvious loss of numbers. The DBs seem out of position and always chasing receivers. There's over-aggression in some aspects of the scheme and lack of aggression in others. It's just a shambles. You don't fire TH now. But he has to demonstrate that the is capable, and humble enough, to learn from his errors. That may be a problem. He also has to accept that Orlando is not the answer. He's a guy with a scheme that doesn't work, and doesn't seem to change. Where are we with TH if he tells all the $200 fans they don't know what they're talking about? What if he says all the problems are due to injury and lack of depth? More importantly, what does DelConte do?
  5. One needs joy when they live in the RGV, with the Chubacabras. Speaking of joy, just saw a recap and didn't realize just how awesome Yuli's play in the 2nd was. He really doesn't get enough attention for his defensive game.
  6. This reads like Naked Lunch. Only not as good.
  7. Seriously, this shit has to be addressed. The university presidents and ADs at some point have to realize that this kind of shit will ultimately undermine college football. The body that they are supposed to take seriously has no credibility, no integrity, and no balls. The NCAA pisses itself like a puppy when confronted with real transgressions by powerful programs. That those programs do not insist on the NCAA enforcing its own rules just goes to show that no one is really interested in playing the game within the rules. Who has to be pissed to get this fixed?
  8. I , for one, am certainly glad that the hard working, honest and fearless folks at the NCAA are fighting the likes of MHB who would corrupt our youth, and poison our institutions. The courage and fortitude it must have taken to ferret out this affront to decency.
  9. You folks aren't giving our trailer dwelling acquaintances to the north any credit. You are assuming that nothing illegal, immoral, or constituting outright cheating on an heretofore unknown scale, will occur between now and when 2022 recruiting heats up. Ye of little faith! Their President was roughing up the junk of his lovely office boys, on State company time, for Pete's sake. And for those of you old enough to know what I'm talking about, don't you imagine his male office staff looking like the waiters at the GM Steakhouse on the Drag, circa 1982? You don't think something that eclipses the forgiveness of face crushing punches, the bar room punching of women, etc. will arise clad in crimson and cream? They're as bereft of morals as aggy is bereft of self awareness. They'll give us our 2022 recruiting thread name, just give them time.
  10. I love me some JV, but today, there is no pitcher I would rather have taking the mound than Cole. And my hat's off to Will Harris. He is the calm in the storm that is the bull pen.
  11. Don't undersell "groping." That word carries some umph, no?
  12. So what you're saying is that the President of Oklahoma University for 24 years, was using his office to initiate non consensual, homosexual groping, fondling, touching, and such, on university employees over whom he had the power to promote, demote, hire, fire, and in his mind, diddle? Is that what you're saying? I think that's what you're saying. I'm pretty sure you're saying that the former president of Mobilhoma University was a fucking sexual predator with the state imbued power to harass at will. The only reason I can figure that this has not been a much bigger story is that it seems normal inside of that state, the football team has won a lot of games during his time, and no one outside of Oklahoma gives a shit what happens in Oklahoma. On a recruiting note, OU sucks.
  13. I was 1/2 way joking but damn. Hope none of his HS team mates are gooner sooners. There's no way this has failed to come to the attention of TH.
  14. Wonder if Cosmi can throw a pass?
  15. The perch on the left is a Guadalupe Bass. He is the state fish and pound for pound, fights better than a largemouth. You can tell he's a Guad because his jaw line does not extend back onto his body, past his eye.
  16. Are any of you bass anglers familiar with LBJ? We can catch fish on Travis, Buchanan, Belton, etc. We've been on LBJ 3 times and have not limited yet. Our first trip was up river before the flood. Since then, we've fished the lower lake. Any suggestions?
  17. 50 year old hooker, crack and The Shades Motel, in Baton Rouge. If someone had written that in a short story, you would think they were over doing it a bit.
  18. Aggy has managed to become a huge joke not in one, not in two, but in three major conferences. No other pretend army, homo erotic, military fetish cult, ag and mechanical college will ever best that record. Put it on the wall!!!
  19. No crab legs for Leon. You get some harsh discipline for $12 million/year!
  20. I'm concerned but not hysterical. I have questions. There are no bad questions, but there are inquisitive idiots, so be patient: Is the scheme such an attack oriented scheme that the D backs are screwed if the rush can't get to the QB? Or, are the D backs failing to execute their assignments and would otherwise be in better positions to make plays? Which raises the question of whether the D backs are being well coached. Whatever the reason, our secondary is often a step behind, even though we seem to be recruiting some very talented D backs.
  21. Sun Radio out in the hill country is pretty good. I heard Going To California, Folsom Prison Blues, and Sturgil Simpsons White line song on the way into work the other day. Lots of early Rock & Roll, R&B, Hank, etc. My version (Fredicksburg/Kingsland) plays a little too much Charley Pride for my taste, and I hear White Lightning almost daily, but no commercials and I like 95% of what they play. My truck is a 2004, so no way to access Spotify, etc. Have some cds loaded...
  22. I hear Yuli with a strong, Spanish accent, saying "Don't make me stop this car, and come back there!"
  23. When we were in law school in Lubbock we went up to visit my father in law who was up there rebuilding some kind of refinery that had blowed up real big. It was thanksgiving and it was colder than a well diggers ass. I mean cold, and the wind was relentless. But, as stated, if you can pick out the private jet best suited to the particular flight plan, then it doesn't much matter where you depart from.
