  1. Can’t remember if it was in Dopesick or The Pharmacist but at least one (or more) high-ranking FDA folks went to work for Purdue at some point. The Sackler family can rot in eternal hell as far as I’m concerned. I’m convinced one of my dear friends was a casualty of Purdue’s bullshit. Had a shoulder surgery go completely sideways, had MRSA and then FF 4-5 years he’s dead of a heroin overdose. None of us had any fucking clue he was shooting smack. Overdose. Dead. Successful attorney in Houston, coached all three of his kids’ soccer teams and was by-all-appearances a model father. RIP, Kevin.
  2. Sounds like she fell walking down steps and broke her hip. Will need surgery.
  3. You're reading and posting on this thread while driving? Seems smart.
  4. Pretty sure the preseason plan wasn't grinding games to a close with our 3rd- and 4th-string RB's but it's become a necessity since our preseason Heisman-hopeful QB1 cannot get (or stay) healthy.
  5. In the NIL era the money speaks so much louder than anything Clem says about players on internet message boards. SEC Rant is a cesspool of the worst shit imaginable online and SEC schools continue to rake in talent hand-over-fist.
  6. And yet Brady could throw the long ball if necessary. Brady also had size Ewers will never have and incredible durability that Ewers has never shown he can have. Jesus, that's pathetic. If the bold is true, then he's even more sensitive than I thought. There wasn't some huge outcry regarding his play last year that I recall. There was clearly a drop-down at QB when he got hurt and Maalik had to take over. There's no chance a healthy Ewers comes close to losing the K-State game for example. We should've lost that one. He was lights-out in the Big 12 title game and for the most part was good against Washington. We just took too long to get going and I was not a fan of the last several plays of that game, either the calls or the execution of the passes. Still, heading into this year it was clear he was a Heisman hopeful QB1 for this team and Arch would take over he inevitably left for the NFL. And the season started well -- and then he got hurt. Again. He's been a shell of himself -- save for some glimpses of greatness vs Florida or a few throws here and there. But our offense is stuck in the mud, especially in the second half. Ewers has not been great in the second half. Probably because he hasn't properly healed.
  7. What if I told you Billy is also one of the rubes.
  8. Oregon or Michigan? Or does Larry Ellison’s GF want Underwood to start Game 1?
  9. If memory serves, Miami converted a 1st-and-40 on the opening drive -- without even getting to third down.
  10. Maybe QE3 will go back to where it all started.
  11. Lots of cops dying the last week. We had two up in here DFW suburbs/surrounding towns and now a SAPD veteran accidentally shoots and kills himself with his service weapon. https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2024/12/10/terrible-tragic-accident-sapd-officer-dies-after-accidental-discharge-of-service-pistol/
  12. There were points in 2022 and 2023, maybe even in early 2024, that Quinn looked like a future 1-1 pick. He barely looks draftable at this point.
  13. Hard to quibble with Ewers' first two seasons where the only real knock on him was his propensity towards injury. I didn't like how we ended the final drive against Washington but hell, we got there and Ewers was a huge part of it. And he started this season well but (again) got hurt. He's been a shadow of himself since coming back. The 2024 version of Ewers, post-injury at least, is barely passable. Sure, we're winning games but that's mostly due to a historically good defense. We normally don't do dick in the second half. I firmly believe that Ewers is broken physically and is probably slightly skittish due to the multitude of injuries over his career and this year in particular. Does this mean I want to see Arch in there instead? Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe go fuck yourself. I think he'd ultimately do better vs this version of Ewers, which is not anywhere close to the best Ewers has given us in his career. QE had pretty good numbers on the surface in the SEC title game but when we needed him to make a play the most, he wasn't able to do it. At a minimum, I'd like to see Arch get 10-12 meaningful snaps per game moving forward -- at least until Ewers is totally healthy (which I admit don't think will happen again this season).

    Thanks for the link. Brings my attention to several artists I wasn't aware of until now.

    Glad to see our decision to not bother picking this back up again appears to have been affirmed. I read a review of the last episode, the one y'all are discussing where Taylor Sheridan needlessly injects himself into the storyline and writes a love letter to his character. I also saw where he did much the same near the end of Lioness Season 2. This is why I haven't bothered starting Lioness or Landman.

  17. Was coming here to post this trailer. Damn, this could be good.
