Great — 0-2 now
-
Was it that brutal? We lost to quite a few spare eastern conference teams.
Offense is in the toilet statistically. Not sure if it’s a Nill, Monty, or players thing. Probably a little of all 3.
It was Boston, St Louis and Wash twice at least.
See Bishop has given up another goal on the first shot of the game. Unreal. -

After a brutal schedule to start the season, we've got to get games like tonight against the Wild.

Taco and who? Hill was a late 2nd rounder.
1st and 3rd is supposedly the floor for a deal but we'll see....
Probably wrote it clunky but meant Hill since he was the first player the Cowboys took last year. First two picks -- 2nd and 3rd -- from last year aren't working out very well.

Seeing as how the Cowboys have flubbed two of their last three first picks in a draft, I don't see a problem trading next year's 1st in a package for Adams. Let's throw in Tristan Hill. Adams is from Carrollton and reportedly would love to come home and play for Dallas.

he can't be any worse than 3rd and Orlando and he runs a 4-3 which I think is easier to convert to 3-3-5/4-2-5 when necessary but lets just say that there isn't much evidence that he can deal with the types of O he will see in this league. Big Ten is not the Big 12 when it comes to O. I'm also afraid this becomes a Co-DC thing with Orlando. I don't like that at all.
I'd rather Herman do an actual search than hire a guy who stopped his O once and happened to get fired this year from Rutgers.
Herman gets one more shot at this IMO and he better hit the mark. This feels very reactionary and that's not good.
I think I'd see it more as Orlando is gone and Ash is interim through the end of the season just like Riley did with Stoops-McNeil at OU last year.

Kind of scary they're now in charge of a Star Wars trilogy.

QuoteRegardless of how you feel about how the climax of Game of Thrones ultimately came together, it’d be foolish to not at least acknowledge that there are reasons the HBO show became one of the biggest televisual events of the last decade. At a recent talk for the Austin Film Festival, however, it seems that D.B. Weiss and David Benioff admitted that they were not among them.
At the Austin Film Festival this weekend, Weiss and Benioff spoke about Game of Thrones in what was one of their first public panel appearances since the series came to an end earlier this year.
While the talk only really danced around the reaction to how the series came together, it largely focused on how Game of Thrones got made in the first place. Turns out, how it got made seemed to be down to Benioff and Weiss being able to get away with a lot of learning on the go.
The most prominent report from the event came from a now semi-viral Twitter thread from user ForArya, who revealed what appeared to be an incredibly frank display from Benioff and Weiss about how thoroughly unprepared they were to guide what would become one of the smash-hit TV phenoms of recent history.It’s important to note that the discussion is interpreted through the lens of one account, and on Twitter it’s hard to estimate tone and intent when you’re dealing with transcription, and with only so many characters per tweet. But even then, some of Weiss and Benioff’s surprisingly frank remarks—especially in the wake of their last minute no-show at San Diego Comic-Con earlier this year, which was in the immediate aftermath of the season eight finale—are honestly shocking to read.
They apparently kept being surprised at their experience, and not just through its now-infamous, unseen pilot, which the duo has long admitted was a complete disaster. It just seems like even as the show evolved into the success it became, the duo—who scripted the vast majority of the series, taking on even more work when the show began outpacing the source material from George R.R. Martin—were still, apparently, largely unsure about anything they were doing. This includes understanding the characters they wrote (something they mostly left to the actors inhabiting those roles, in earlier seasons), or even production details like considering bringing women or people of color into the writing process.
The whole thread is worth a read for some particularly trenchant insight from the creatives, touching on how the duo treated fan feedback on the show as it went on—and reactions to how the series ended; the role of violence in the series; and even the way earliest seasons of the show gave an off-hand treatment to the fantastical elements of the book.
There’s even a truly disturbing story in there about how apparently an actual baby was put on a block of ice for the season four scene showing the Night King corrupting a wildling infant. Even that, along with many other remarks the duo made throughout the talk, seems to have an underlying thread that Benioff and Weiss are largely uncertain of why the things that worked about Game of Thrones worked, and why the things that were heavily critiqued didn’t completely undo the show’s popularity.
The shocking nature of the revelations are almost refreshing in the stark bluntness of them. It seems Game of Thrones essentially happened through some sheer dumb luck, on the part of both Benioff and Weiss and executives at HBO (plus the hard work of a lot of people in front and behind the camera), before going on to reshape the television of the 2010s and perhaps even beyond for good measure.
That Star Wars trilogy sure is gonna be fun, isn’t it?

Correct.
Sounds like B&S got an offer they couldn't refuse. Not going to put it on blast, but feel free to PM if that's something you give a shit about.
Is that correct? Richie Whitt was posting on FB earlier that they were effectively forced out by getting bumped to middays in favor or G-Bag Nation. (Richie is still bitter about his and Greggo's show getting booted so he definitely has an axe to grind.)

So does this mean I still need to hit the following posts for Gordo content: 7:15, 8:15 and 9:15, or is that all out-of-whack now?

Jamie Benn fucking sucks. Trade his ass before the rest of the league figures it out. Dave Zeiss was more of a presence on the ice last night than Benn was.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid the secret is out.

I expect him to transfer but I am assuming Herman told him he was only playing in an emergency/injuries. that is what herman said in the PC after the game. if he didn't tell him that then he should transfer.
That's the rub though. Either what he did warranted a suspension or it didn't. None of this "you're suspended unless we need you because of injuries" bullshit. If it was a half, have him suit up and play the second half like normal. Otherwise, do not dress him and/or leave him in Austin.

It's not just coordinators - Herman's entire worthless staff shows that he sucks at hiring people. He'll probably try to hire Shawn Watson back or some shit
Carrington seems good.

I would take Lane Kiffin before Franklin. But, hiring Franklin might cause Penn St to hire Rhule fucking Baylor while we're at it.
I think Rhule's next stop would be in the NFL.

I love my DigiQ
Do you know if the DigiQ is transferable among smokers? What I mean is if I buy the kit for my Klose could I simply buy the adapter (and fan if necessary) for the electronics to work on BGE (when I get one)?

Matt Rhule unfortunately his buyout is too big. would love PJ Fleck, Steve Ensminger might be as good as Riley. DInkwitz has App St at #21.
Reality is we're fucked. they of course prematurely extended herman to 2023 so the best we can hope for is a gut and new offensive and defensive staffs
Ensminger? Isn't he the one who oversaw LSU's archaic (and most shitty) offense until Joe Brady was brought in to revolutionize what they're doing.
On 10/27/2019 at 9:05 AM, Landomatic said:Oh, maybe it's because he's bald?
Or, the comparison was made because they both had a tiny bit of success at a lower-tier P5 school, which didn't translate to being ready for a place like Texas for Strong so people were skeptical of making the same mistake twice?
Strong and Franklin were candidates when we hired Strong. They were further down the list after Saban, Briles (ick) and Patterson. Strong seemed a safer hire with less potential skeletons (i.e. rape and bizarre comments about only hiring assistants who have hot wives because they can "close").
On 10/27/2019 at 10:19 AM, GreenspointTexas said:Legit HC wish list, in no particular order:
(qualifiers of no-coordinator, no G5)
1) Fleck
2) Peterson (not coming here)
3) Stoops (done with college, not coming here lol)
4) Briles (lmao no way)
5) Meyer (see Stoops)
6) Cristobal?
7) Klieman (need a bigger sample size)
😎 Rhule (lmao he makes 10 million a year, hes not leaving Baylor)
9) Patterson (see Rhule)
10) Dykes?
Did i sum it up pretty well?
Rhule doesn't make $10M/year. Swinney is the new highest-paid corch in CFB and he's at $9.8M or so. Saban is second.

Not without cheating he can't.

See above.
On 10/27/2019 at 11:13 AM, DefinitelyNotHollywoodColt said:I was one of I think 2 posters advocating for Franklin over Strong. And yes that opinion was widely mocked. But the comparison was in regards to lack of a resume beating quality teams. Neither coach had much of any history beating good opponents.
I think it's been proven Franklin would've been a better hire than Strong based on the results but there were some odd data-points on Franklin's resume at the time (rape, potential cover-up, etc)

You know Venables makes close to $2M/year with Clemson already, right?

Or if you bench him, tell him straight up that he won't be playing. Don't leave him out there on the sideline with his helmet on, thinking he has a chance to play.
I said the same thing in the game thread. Unreal. I fully expect Eagles to transfer.-

Our next coach can't be from a G5 program. Either NFL or a P5 steal. This cycle needs to break. Checklist:
- Proven experience as an HC at a P5 program or a coordinator in NFL
- Role model
- Someone Texas talent would love to play for
- No gimmicks
- Confidence but not arrogance
- Excellent fundamentals
- Helps young people reach their potential not kick them out of the program
OU has hired coordinators the last two times and they've worked out pretty well. I don't want to limit our search to any strict parameters. Get a good fucking coach. Period.

somebody doesn't remember the extremely racist tweets when the Spurs are whippin' the Mavs ass as well as hot head fucking moron trying to fight Hispanic baseball coaches at his little kids games.
He's extremely racist against Latinos at least and other than baseball he doesn't know much about anything that I can tell.
Also, CMan is a big Spurs fan so of course he doesn't want to hear about the shitty mavs
Yeah, die-hard Spurs fan that punches out during Mavs segments. Hell, the NBA basically bores me nowadays anyway so definitely don't want Mavs talk.
Bascik was fired from The Ticket for his dumb-ass Tweets during Spurs-Mavs playoffs and then later did have an altercation at a youth sports game where one of his kids was playing. Lisp doesn't help.
While we're on the subject can we talk about Newbury on the Cowboys pre- and post-game shows. Good lord did he take too many shots to the head when he played college football. Talk about marbles in the mouth.
