Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
horn4life replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Great game for Quinn! Glad to see him settle down and play very well in the toughest environment the team has played in of late. Reminded me of that Ohio State home streak ending win that was the start of something great. Now what I want to see is enough domination to where we can get the Murphy in for some more real game day experience. Simply as if we can roll along as we hope to, having the second stringer get solid reps can often be the difference in reaching that ultimate goal and falling just short because of a QB injury in a late big game. Funniest thing about the game was when Ewers unleashed that sky ball to the endzone, my wife exclaimed "that's a crappy pass!" right before it was reeled in for a TD! Tip fo the hat to Ewers, he did what he needed to do. Mover from a great QB on paper, to a great QB against a very formidable opponent. It must have felt great for him to come back after being knocked out of game last year and to have such a great performance. I also was very appreciative of his humbleness after the game. I think this performance bodes very, well for Ewers going forward, as QB is as much about confidence as it is talent. The deep ball may still be an issue long term, but last night the deep ball sure wasn't a weakness! Hook'em! -
What to do about a St Augustine lawns in Central TX?
horn4life replied to BillyBadAss's topic in Can You Help Me With This?
I just came up with a new temporary "plan." Maybe I take my giant brown lawn... and If we manage to beat Alabama... Paint a giant Longhorn in my front yard. The ultimate reverse humblebrag, brown ass lawn, with big ass Longhorn... -
What to do about a St Augustine lawns in Central TX?
horn4life replied to BillyBadAss's topic in Can You Help Me With This?
I decided to let the front yard completely go. It's brown, brown, brown. The only thing I am really glad about is that I did not spring for a sprinkler system to where I would feel obligated to keep it going. I have pretty much decided to expand my large flower beds off the house exponentially, and create a xeriscape heat wave survivor section next to the curb. My plan is to buy some buffalo grass for there will be a green river-like strip between the beds, for a pop of green. I was going to do it last weekend to stretch the rental of the backhoe and front loader over the long weekend. But now that I cannot water new plantings more than once a week, need to wait a little while to do it when there is least some hope of rain, or COA water access. -

What new UT gear are you looking to buy this year?
horn4life replied to GhostOfTomJoad's topic in Football
Won't know until next week. Just search for Nike Customize, and look for the Nike Internationalist. The only color I hate is when they use the way too bright orange, that makes me think of Tennessee or Florida. Although I still think I should have done "HOR" "NEY" as the three letters on each shoe! But wife..e did not find it as humorous as I did. -
Just ordered Black Pumas floor tix for December- Early passcode is ICECREAM We were lucky enough to see them in a last second ticket buy at the Mohawk right before they broke it open. Should be a good show Dec 5/6 ACL Live ALSO --- Don't know the lineup but this weekend is the East Side Kings blues festival. Old time rippers from the past, in small venues on the East side. The wife and I really enjoyed it last year. IF you love the blues it's almost a "secret" Austin music event.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
horn4life replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
There is one thing that will help Ewers and the team. Run the damn Ball!!!!! Tossing incompletes on first down, whether they are bombs or 5 yard drops, puts the team behind the chains. Run the damn ball effectively and all of a sudden you get a few looks at 2nd and 2-3. THIS is when you take shots downfield! If you take a shot downfield on a short yardage 2nd down, two good upsides can happen with the deep ball. 1st and best is a deep completion that puts the defense on its heels. 2nd is a check off underneath most likely to a back in space. 3rd is the QB stepping up in the pocket and scampering a couple yards forward for a first down. While the surprise of a 1st down deep ball can be deadly, the risk vs reward is not there for me. Moving the chains is the goal. If you achieve the small goal repeatedly you don't even need the deep ball. You just grind them up methodically. But zero yards on first down is a recipe for disaster for most teams. Two downs for 10 yards is a lot different than 3 downs for 10 yards. And that is never, ever going to change. -
Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
horn4life replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Total interference!!! But if the ball is not under thrown then the defender can't interfere... 5 yards deeper and Worthy isn't having to catch the ball literally off the back of the defender. Though I also have considerable criticism of throwing that deep ball on first down. The under throw was on Ewers. The result was... a punt, because of the zero yards on first down. Let me be clear, while I am critical of Ewers I am rooting for him like a Mofo. My concern is his confidence quite frankly, and I think it's shaken. Because what does he do the next series? We again call a deep ball on first, but this time it's way over thrown. To me that's a mental adjustment rather than shaking off the first under throw, and simply slinging the next one without thinking. I think Ewers was still thinking about the last one, and decided to throw it harder, rather than forget about that first pass and trusting all the ball you have thrown in practice. Which is a better choice mentally, for any QB or DB. You gotta not let the last one, influence the next one. AGAIN! I am critical of the bombs away on first down! Result of zero yards on... again a punt. Of course had we gotten one of those two, 'Bama might have been on their heels a hair on defense, but you gotta have success to put any defense on its heels. Sure hope Ewers hits his next deep ball, just to help mentally as much as anything. -
Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
horn4life replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Right now you have to simply say that the progression that everyone hoped to see in season with Ewers simply has not appeared, thus far. Now I can point some fingers at OL to some degree, but overall I personally don't think I saw much more in this first game that I did last season. The glaring problem is the exact same one as last year, the deep ball. I also think we try to force this aspect of the game to some degree, and I don't specifically blame Ewers for that, but as whose feet do I place responsibility for the inaccuracy if not Ewers? The good news is it was only the first game. The horrifying news is this was against Rice, not the beasts of Alabama's DL. My biggest regret about Ewers pedestrian performance is we should have been able to put in Murphy a lot earlier in a game we simply did not dominate offensively in the first half. That was my biggest disappointment. Now my concern shifts to how long do we stick with Ewers if we can't get a better percentage of completions on the deep balls? This is honestly where I wonder how much Sark has learned from Saban? If Ewers doesn't look strong versus Bama does Sark roll the dice with a change? I think looking back at Saban's career you have to think he might put next man up a lot sooner than Sark might. I personally hope like hell that Ewers comes out next week kicking ass. But if we cannot compete deeper balls, Ewers is going to have the dogs coming more and more often with less and less big play downside for the bad guys. Then again if he can make just a deep ball or two complete early it changes the game completely. Conversely strike out on deep balls that force punts a couple times... You get the idea. Ewers needs to move from greatness on paper, to greatness on the field. Or Sark is going to have to make a tough choice. -

The main thing is the Kentucky legislature did what the GOP always does (what moral children would call cheating) they changed the rules on appointing a replacement Senator to replace McConnell. He has to be replaced now with a Republican. Somenthing that only happened because, the citizens of Kentucky used their votes to show they preferred a change, they wanted a Democratic Governor. Thus the rules had to be changed to thwart the will of the people. A mirror image of what McConnell and the GOP did to pack the Supreme Court. They changed the rules not once, but twice, purely for political gain. Not giving a shit about the citizens that were not Republican. Now the court has the lowest approval rating ever. Probably because the rules were changed twice to place 3 justices in place who combined have fewer confirmation votes than any other two justices in the last what 80 years, prior to the comical demonization of Justice Jackson because they have damaged the process so much? (80 years was a wag) Baically there has never been a mojority put in place with fewer confirmation votes than the current majority. Mitch did that. What is sad to me is that Mitch McConnell presided over the largest deterioration of two of our nations branches of Government in the Senate and the Supreme Court. Now you can't even get military promotions advanced. And as I said above the Supreme Court is now viewed as heavily political, and where Republican Justices live the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Because they also do not give a shit about any citizen that is not Republican. And concerns about ethics are simply no longer a concern from top to bottom in the Republican Party.... unless it's a Dem... Mitch led the biggest partisan shift in our nation, and in doing so he damaged our Democracy. Simply because he turned his party into a party before country party. And until the last 10 or so years, I honestly did not believe that about the GOP. But today the evidence is overwhelming. Party before country, again, and again, and again.

horn4life replied to GhostOfTomJoad's topic in Football
just ordered these- I did a couple versions but this is what I settled on - I wanted TEX ASS on the back of the shoes but, morality police. SO I settled on ATX HRN for the heel text. Sort of fun to play with the customization with all the options. Unfortunately not all the NIKE custom stuff comes with orange "ginger" color option. -

Aggies just make you laugh. Because they honestly believe the shit they spew about Texas. Especially the move to the SEC. Let me get this straight, the fans of a team that haven't even been able to even win enough games to play in the SEC Championship in a fucking decade, are worried that we don't know what to expect in the SEC? Listening to the Aggies talk about expectations and the SEC are fucking hilarious. Listening to Aggies try to explain how to win in the SEC, is sort of like asking a street person advice on your 401K distributions. The Aggies were actually supposed to be good, and contend for the SEC last season. Before shitting the bed in a manner rarely ever seen in College football. So excuse me if all I can do is laugh at their predictions of doom for Texas next year, this year, or any year. There's a reason they ran away from big brother in the first place, and their nightmare is starting all over again. 😉 -

ERRRRR.... EVERYBODY!!!!! -
It's not really a surprise to me at all that racist violence often manifested in mass shootings have increased. The glee at which my friends who I thought had racist tendencies, let their guard down more and more as Trump became a Republican political leader and then President. Words like "There were very good people on both sides." When on one side their were people desiring equality for all Americans and on the other side were Nazi's and other other assorted KKK like groups. My racist friends heard the dog whistle. Slowly but surely the racist jokes that used to be whispered, gradually gained volume. They also gained more and more affirmation for like minded rural raised racists like themselves. Who finally had a guy who understood their racism... he was the greatest President ever, because he understood the oppression and victimhood of the high school educated white man. Who was angry about... damn near everything in their lives. The one thing I have noticed in my lifetime is that the people I know who are openly racists and bigots are pretty stupid as a whole. A few have college degrees, but most were small town raised young while men, who remembered what use to happen to "uppity N-words." They liked the way things were back then, and they can lay ever problem at the feet of someone other than themselves, or their white parents and grand parents who actually ran the governments of their towns and counties. Indeed even today, attempting to prevent black people voting is number one concern of the Texas Republican elected leadership. Republicans now honestly believe that state governments rather than local governments deserve control when black people come into power in cities. I expect a few more years of uptick in racism that has been stoked time and again by the GOP. I expect these to be manifested in mass shootings, by people who vote Republican if they vote. And it's not going to change until the GOP gets some political beat downs in traditionally GOP strongholds like Texas. Which of course will simply steer more hatred towards non-whites, by the party that is controlled and ruled from top to bottom with enormous influence from Rural racists. There are shit ton of angry uneducated white men in this country. The GOP has an overwhelming firm grip on this demographic, and it's the place where the most racist Americans proudly participate in politics. And yes, uneducated, angry, racist white men that then to overwhelmingly vote Republican are and will continue to be a danger. Because after all... "there are very good people, on both sides!"

See I thought we were gonna get a real number! But apparently Donald did find the missing 47 pounds! Happy to buy you a drink if you are in Austin. -
I think you saw exactly what the Republican party is today. An intellectually dishonest party without any actual principles. Yeah I will vote for a convicted felon, because... I can pretend intellectually that for Donald Trump and Trump alone, is a "victim." It's a pretend fantasy world, that must be lived in from top to bottom of the party. With the notable exceptions of Hutchinson and Christie. Intellectually... oops, I know, I know, intellect is a very, very dangerous thing according to today's Republicans, but intellectually most of the arguments I heard made last night would have been shredded in my Freshman year ethics(?) class, in that the basic premises of their foundational arguments are simply falsehoods. The single exception was Haley actually admitting that grotesque spending by the Trump Administration gleefully expanding the national debt by an unheard of percentage was the real culprit. I could go on and on. But to me it seem that the single foundational necessity to being able to be a "Good Republican" is a whole hearted embrace of intellectual dishonestly. Even worse, every one up on that stage, knows they are being intellectually dishonest, but they know it's now a requirement to be a "good Republican." And honestlym that is why we find ourselves at one of the single most dangerous points in time in our democracy. Simply as when you can knowing embrace lies, then you can lie about anything, And without truth, a country built on foundation of lies, has a very, very weak foundation indeed.

He just wants to find.... the 47 lost pounds... one more than he needs! -
since for the first time since he was elected President (with Putin's helping hand) we have not had an honest measurement of the math of the former President's girth. The lying physician said he was 6'3" and 244 pounds. while extolling Trump's amazingness. I don't really cane about the height os such a small man, but I am curious about the fun of predicting his honest weight. I'll buy the winner a couple of Hopdoddy big rita's in Austin if they would like! predict away! My Guess is 296 lbs.
