  1. One of the long term axioms of recruiting is the preceding season impacts juniors more than seniors. At best, we were underwhelming in 19. Not sure why people are surprised when that axiom holds true and our recruiting is underwhelming. 
     

    We’re Longhorns. Stop acting like a bunch of pussies.

    It’s pretty much impossible to tell what kind of a recruiter a KSU position coach was under Snyder. They just don’t go for big names like most schools. Having said that, we had a great chance of bringing in a known elite recruiter at the spot, be it Samples, Jones, or even Carrier. 
     

    Coleman better have all our talented, young WRs playing like All-Americans this season, or this will only get worse. Oh, and good thing Herman took forever to promote Coleman so we also lost out on blue-chipper Quentin Johnston in 2020. 

    That’s my biggest gripe with the Coleman situation. Herman should have cut bait with Meh midseason and promoted Coleman to give him a chance to establish his bona fides.

    i take the complete opposite approach. buy what you want, you won't be able to tell the difference in 99% of the pressings you find...or you could fool yourself into thinking you do and waste a lot of time. 

    I lean towards this. The only ones I research are the whole remastered, 180 gram pressings since some (not all) of that is bullshit and not worth the cost compared to a cheap, used original pressing.

    Sorry for a stupid question, but is there a good site for reading about different pressings?  Discogs just seems to list them all en masse, which for me is a bit confusing to read.  Wikpedia sometimes has things on them, but just wondering what some of you use to know that something is a good pressing or not.

     

    Steve Hoffman . net is a good site for that kind of info.  But that's a rabbit hole I try not to go down.  I'll check for reissues that are expensive, especially 'remasters', but I'm content to buy cheap old records and not worry about the minutiae of various pressings for all but a few records.

    Any good workout ideas for inside the garage? Now that gyms will be closing across the state I'm fucked. I can do my cardio around the neighborhood but I don't have weights at home nor do I want to spend the money to buy a set. Burpees, push ups, sit ups, what else should I be doing? My goal is weight loss.

    Can’t say enough about the onnit 6 body weight program. 

  6. I admire y'all who can recount the gory details of the recruiting near misses of the past few years kinda like I admire folks who can repeatedly punch themselves in the dick.  But the "We're Texas" attitude has enabled a shit ton of hubristic dumbassery for way too long.

    No clue how long this will last but I'm really not trying to invest $300+ into weights that I'll hopefully only be using temporarily. Searched online and weights were either prohibitively expensive or said 1-2 months for delivery. F that. So doing the kettlebell route. I know they're good just never got around to using them at the gym or home. Recs for good online vids or sites? Limited research says start with one, most men can start at 35lbs and just go from there, so going that route. Thanks in advance.

    Onnit has a killer kettlebell home workout program that I can’t recommend highly enough. 

    This is also a great video for the kettlebell swing, the foundational kettlebell exercise

    Fair enough.  I agree with all of your policy points -- we should have been testing in mass volumes weeks ago, and the fact that we aren't shows a failure of leadership.  Policy discussions should absolutely be in bounds, and I didn't mean to suggest otherwise. 

     

    It's one thing to discuss policy and another thing to single out a particular politician as "a fucking hack," which is what OP did.  We should all want to keep this thread from spiraling into a debate about whether Abbott is a hack, a pussy, etc.

    You’re the only one doing that. Just shut up and let the conversation move on.

    Or the Pax 3. Mixed reviews here but can handle the flower or wax/crumble.

    My store in Chicago decided to rollout on-line ordering for rec. Small ordering windows and limited product (no flower), but no wait at the shop. Got a couple disposable pens (Outer Space, Island Lime Haze).

    I’ve got a couple of friends who have the pax 3. None of them like it. My brother has a Mighty and Pax 3 and the Mighty is easier to use, has better temp control and gives bigger hits.

    Just watched the instructional video. I could probably handle the initial round but after that it seems like it would get far more complicated 

    Not sure which part would get complicated. But the whole thing is super easy.

    I am a pretty solitary smoker. Mostly just sneaking out to the garage when the kid goes to bed, hitting a vape pen on my own as I'm walking into a bar when I go out with friends (I had to quit drinking), etc. - no real "network" of people that I regularly smoke with any longer who can show me the ropes of this whole goddamned newfangled Brave New World of pot. 

    I feel like a fucking dinosaur, but I find the whole vaping thing just completely overwhelming, so I have just been sticking with disposable pens. 

    It's worse than trying to buy a TV or a smartphone - I don't know what 3/4 of this shit is or why I need it or how to comparison shop or figure out what product I even want/need and, perhaps most importantly, how to even use most of it. 

    Not sure if there was a question in there, but just get a Mighty. Since it vaporizes the thc without burning the flower, you inhale a lot less crap.
