  1. Or trading for Fields
  2. At what age do you select dads find that it starts to click for most kids or is every high level kid quite different? Last year our 6u all stars rolled through a joke summer rec league based only on physical talent. Last fall the kids got picked for “AAA” rec ball and they made a jump, but nothing like I’ve seen at a couple 9U select games. Now we’re playing a different rec league with AAA and several select or ex-select kids mixed into the other teams. These boys as first graders might be better than I was at third or fourth grade, but they are still 6 and 7 and have 30 second attention spans. I’m hoping there’s a natural mental leap around the corner and that I’m not holding back their development due to inexperienced coaching.
  3. @tx 3 putt he just gave you the sign to double steal.
  4. Are we at the point this show is like Rogue One, where you don’t get too attached to the characters because you know their end is near? That said, what are the chances Tech is still alive? Will Palpatine hump Omega to produce Rey’s father?
  5. I’d happily take either of them in the 2nd round, but I could see why some have Murphy higher based on consistency, floor, and ceiling. I hope the Texans get a Longhorn in the 2nd round between the WRs, DTs, or Sanders.
  6. Yeah, we voted on that at our last lodge meeting. Next month, we release Xenu from the volcano prison.
  7. This will be my 6th season coaching my 6yo (he’s a young 7U in LL, old 6U under select calendar). I get frustrated every season like I’m on a quixotic one man crusade to prioritize skills development, learning the game, and fostering a love for the game for EVERY PLAYER on the roster over winning LL games and getting a $5 ring. Most coaches in 6U and 7U ignore minimum play rules and keep their top kids at the same key positions all game. It helps them win but does no favors to their studs who don’t learn other positions (or how to be a good teammate or how to deal with losing) or the bottom half of their roster that get minimal IF experience. OTOH, having a losing record is no fun for my kids but I haven’t compromised on my approach. Every season I try to get other managers onboard but the Alpha Bro response is always “coach your team how you want and so will I.” It’s a beating sometimes, but I end up being the most requested coach by the parents. We ended up dropping from AAA to AA this spring. Hopefully the competition difference isn’t enough (among 7U lol) that it impairs my kids’ development but also giving us a chance at a winning record while affording the weaker half of the roster time at P, 1B, SS, etc. Tying into the discussion above, it’s all stupid to think that the best 5/6/7u players will be the best 12u or HS players later on. Some great 7u may quit because his parents put way too much on him. Some potential future stud may quit baseball in 7u because he had an asshole coach that played him in RF all game.
  8. Did you tell your kids which was rated worst by the IVF Mel Kiper?
  9. We rotate all game on defense and kept it the same, just stopped blitzing and played 5 yards off the LOS. Errrbody made it rain chickfila nugs after the game.
  10. Had myself a Mack Brown-related “am I a hypocrite?” moment this weekend coaching my a 4 and 6 yo sons’ flag football team. We went up 22-0 going into halftime. Other team’s coach flashed an upset look and I thought “Should I basically take a knee the rest of the game and not be accused of running up the score on some first graders? Hell no, that’s a Mack move and you gotta get the backups some meaningful reps!” 4th, 5th, 6th RBs (including the 4yo) got all the snaps in the second half with the full playbook. Final score: 36-0. Mack would call us classless clowns.
  11. his parents debated between Harry and Poe.
  12. Her AIM was linked to her public mail.utexas.edu address and a couple of us messaged her right after they got arrested and she was released. We were poking at her, and she actually engaged. She was spouting nonsense and inconsistent stories. She told one person that Cave was the real drug dealer and got killed by rivals. To someone else she said if her or Colton killed her, it was self defense. Then she went back to the generic story that they came home and found her dead in Colton’s bathroom. She got pretty stabby when the posters messaging her started hammering her on dismembering the corpse rather than calling the police. I blocked her after about 20 minutes and deleted that burner AIM account.
  13. This kind of shit talking on the kid will lead to an MVP type performance. Brock Purdy seems like he sucks?
  14. To some extent, all guys with NFL talent make business decisions. But Worthy seemed to be the most business decision guy I can recall in my 25+ years of following the Longhorns. Say what you will about Roy, but he was always first round talent but bled burnt orange and would put his body on the line to make tough catches, throw blocks, go after punt blocks. Worthy seemed more focused on the NIL bag every off season than improving or doing things to help the team, was “injured” a lot, disappeared frequently. He may have been protecting himself, but ironically probably cost himself from being a first round pick.
  15. Maybe Washington is dumb and would give up #36 and #40 to move up to #23.
  16. There are several Longhorns (Sweat, Mitchell, Sanders, Worthy) that would make sense for the Texans, but taking them at #23 may be a reach and they may all be gone by their second round pick.
  17. Are you high? Cam Newton is maybe and Ricky and Carson Palmer are close? I’d guess Joe Burrow is most likely, and he’d make that smaller #1 overall pick club too. Jackson depends on how far off his peak is and if his legs start breaking down. Paul Hornung was on the Packers Super Bowl I team. Staubach has 2 super bowls. Tony Dorsett has one (SB XII). Marcus Allen has one (SB XVIII). Charles Woodson won with Packers (SB XLV)
  18. If Nico wants WR1 money, let some other team pay it.
  19. They have cap space (projected $74m), but resigning their own free agents may gobble a lot of it. Schultz (~$11.5), Rankins (~$9.5), Singletary (~$5), Nelson (~$10), Noah Brown (~$5), Fairbairn (~$4.5) plus signing bonuses, per sportrac predictions.
  20. Rasheed Wallace was awesome and would be even more coveted today his ability to D on bigs and rebound as well as handle the ball and shoot outside. But putting him in some all time top 25 list is lolz.
