  1. Who is your least favorite?
  2. It's easy to forget that the people we interact with in our day-to-day lives aren't necessarily representative of the population at large. I'm grateful for Surly posts like this one to remind me how utterly fucking stupid some people are. Keep your head on a swivel.
  3. What talented studs did he hold on the sidelines for said shitheads?
  4. I've never kept up with Texas volleyball and have only really recently gained interest in the sport through playing recreationally. Shoutout to @Js1 @SL Xpress and others for all the good info in this thread and making it a little easier to hop on the bandwagon this season. Looking forward to following along and probably annoying you all with newb questions.
  5. Here's the full list, fyi:
  6. 16 total times since 2000. 8 of those were Case Kennum or Leach QB's. 6 were other G5's. Then Burrow and Mahomes.
  7. I heard Sark hands out Sydney and RGBIII's #'s and they don't pick up the phone.
  8. Sometimes pain is the only way I can still feel
  9. Now sitting here watching this shit. Should neg you.
  10. You really think Sam was going to come back and risk his legacy by having to beat the next Aaron Rodgers in camp?
  11. This. Stole a yard flamingo from in front of a certain UT college on a drunken summer walk back from 6th. Showed up in the campus crime report next week and listed as $800 of damage / stolen property. Not the genesis of my username but would’ve been a better story had I gotten caught. Was reluctant to post this but took comfort in knowing we have a knockout resident criminal defense attorney who could come to my aid @ztejas Let Marion come up with a creative punishment and be done with it.
  12. Ha so much for setting an example right? I finished... just not where I wanted to.
  13. I like this. It seems obvious on surface but roles are often reversed in more subtle ways and it is impactful on an impressionable kid. I don't have children but when I do, I suppose the silver lining of my experience is that I know a lot of ways not to parent.
  14. Good advice here, thanks everyone. We spoke and it felt less like I was her last resort in a dire situation, and more like she just didn't want to go back to her usual targets. She mentioned a few bills and new school clothes for my nephew who is starting middle school. I didn't really feel like interrogating or pushing beyond that. I sent her $1k via Cashapp and told her not to worry about paying me back. I'm sure this thread will get bumped in future. I'm in my late 20's and it's already abundantly clear that I will be supporting her and both of my parents. I'm probably being an asshole but it pisses me off. I do not have meaningful relationships with any of them and honestly it's not something I really desire at this point. I know I wasn't buying my own lunchables as a 2nd grader but I also had to be 100% financially independent before graduating high school and had to pave my own way when a little help (monetarily or more so guidance) would've made a big difference. Tired of having to be the adult for them.
  15. Tell me about your experience. My older sister (33, single mother, high school dropout, no pics) just texted me requesting a $1,500 loan. Story is she has fallen behind after having to take a paycut at a new job. She said she wouldn't have reached out if I wasn't her last resort. We are not close and haven't spoken in months so no clue on background/validity of her story. This isn't a surprise. She's made a lot of bad decisions and has been bailed out financially and otherwise many times (that I know of) by my mom and an aunt (also no pics of either; not that you would want them). I thought she had finally gotten her shit together (relatively speaking) but now I don't know. She proposed to pay me back with her tax return in February...so yeah, repayment is very unlikely. The amount isn't an issue. And despite our relationship being non-existent for the better part of two decades, I would want to help her if she's truly in a pinch. I just worry about precedent and if it's really the best thing to do for her. Thanks for listening and I welcome the Surly wisdom.
  16. Lol. What does comp look like for this type of role? So post firing: 1st offseason 13 D1 HC changes Tom lobbies for USCe job. Told Nah. 1st season (2021) settles on vague offensive analyst role with Bears. If there was any reporting of him actually being close to the game / adding value to the organization I saw none of it not saying it's Tom's fault (rookie QB / dysfunctional org), but Bears offense goes from bad to worse 2nd offseason 29(!) D1 HC changes, shuffling of staffs December- Tom tells Andy Staples he's "not interested in college roles" and prefers to stay in NFL. Righhhht. Bears HC change, Tom asked soooo what exactly would you say you do here? 2nd season (2022) No other NFL team wants him(?) so he settles for CBS college analyst role? Doesn't sound like a career move for someone preferring to stay in the NFL. Or maybe this is his way of getting his foot back in the college door after not landing a gig during one of the busiest coaching carousels in recent memory? Weird... it's almost like nobody really wants to employ fuckface.
  17. You're giving us too much credit:
  18. No problem! And snap count is also from PFF which is helpful- not sure if I've seen it anywhere else. Ha... yeah it didn't look so small on my big monitor but just tried to look on my computer and see what you mean. I added a spreadsheet link in post that should be easier on the eyes.
  19. Here ya go. Added offense and also added PFF overall player grades. I know several posters on here think the PFF college grades are garbage (and maybe they are) but I figured it was at least one way to stack up past production against rest of depth chart and compared to D1 / Big 12 sample. Edit- realized it's pretty hard to see so put it in googlesheet if anyone wants it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PVwFduvFQ5mHUNm9gNHYBHGy0TN1uj8Z/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=103413962120518164336&rtpof=true&sd=true
  20. FYI. Incoming freshmen in green, transfers in yellow.
  21. Did he? I don't know the kids academic prowess or post-football plans but If he's like 90% of other recruits, he's going to go major in communications or sports & exercise science orrrr.... let's just call it what it is- major in football. So maybe going to a school with the 4th most CFP appearances has something to do with his choice. I'm sure he knows his OU degree doesn't have the shine as one from Cal, Stanford, Virginia, or Dartmouth or whatever other shitty football program he would choose if his plan was to study pre-med, business, etc.
  22. I likey. Another lefty bat with 4 years of experience in a good program in a position of need. Over last two seasons (83 games, 54 starts): - 312/405/486 slash line - Walks decent amount (13.03%) - Strike outs not crazy (20.69%).
