  1. 24 hours and no one has produced at the very least a mugshot from that one app? What's going on with this story, anyone?
  2. maybe his username is checking out, or maybe it's not. I haven't decided, yet.
  3. Vols, sure. Aggy? The Houston Chomicle can try shoving it up everyone else's ass about how aggy is leading the way in NIL, but you can't fool most of us. They're not doing anything special with NIL...
  4. and those placing podiums are fucking embarrassing wtf! I will donate my time and the materials to make them better ones.
  5. Wouldn’t think you’d intentionally mislead anyone, just talking ball, and as I said, red zone and running game were terrible, which is pretty important regardless of your ppg and ypg etc… Your criticisms are more than valid. As for the Kelly stuff, I’m just going off on memory. Trying to think back, but I don’t remember being terribly down on the idea, but as the thread said, it was “UM or bust” so we all had tunnel vision going on.
  6. Didn't 99% of this board NOT like the idea of Kelly coaching at Texas when rumors of such had been swirling during Tom's Great Dead Man Coaching Tour?
  7. Not to mention the offense actually improved in both scoring and total yardage in his second year (from 15th to 10th, 8th to 6th). The offense's biggest issue was the running game and red zone offense (kinda important?). You can put a lot of that on Sark, and also on what was one of the more overrated offensive rosters in the league, IMO. The team's overall biggest issue was having one of the shittiest defenses in the league. That team has been a fuck show of unreasonable expectations ever since the Pats came back and tea-bagged them in the Super Bowl.
  8. Lost to move down to 3-2 last night in a roller-coaster of a game against who I believe is the best team in the league. The Boy would strike out twice, walked once and score a run. I've been working with him on underload/overload training for a few weeks now, and you can really see his swing speeding up already. He has seen the ball well all season, but last night it seemed he wasn't. We'll work on it. Our first pitcher went out and had an off night, was shelled. Our catcher continues to not stop far too many balls. Were down 9-0 after the first inning, but went into the last inning down 10-7 with a chance to hold them and come out for the last frame with a decent part of the lineup due up, but shit went off the rails with a pitching change that had to be made, but just wouldn't work out. We got football scored. Still in it.
  9. Are you suggesting they might be a little lazy? Ha, come on now.
  10. I know what you're saying. And I know what the poster you "corrected" was saying, and it's basically the same thing (that the player made it more difficult on himself), and I chuckled.
  11. Those bags will become less significant... but by how much, and by when, are the questions. Luckily the transfer portal can help balance that out a bit for now. But it is hard to ignore how the Houston Chronicle just pumped sunshine up everyone's asses on how aggy is leading the way in NIL, and how it has led to this crazy recruiting surge over the past two cycles. It's absolute bullshit, we all know it, but it shows you how deep this shit runs. "A bird in hand (bags) is worth two in the bush (NIL..kinda)" comes to mind.... except aggy is promising these kids all three.
  12. The Little League division Yankees (still getting used to this name gross) are 2-0. Had their game postponed from this past Thursday over what I'm calling some bullshit shenanigans (as I mentioned before, coach is new in town. They're trying to take advantage of him. Me and the other assistant aren't new here, though, so this is about to get fun). But back to the Yanks... They're scrappy as hell, and I love how they play. The Boy has a couple of hits, including a 2-out hit down 3-0 which started the rally (we'd tie things up that inning and win 4-3 on a walk-off steel). The first pitch he faced this year, to a kid a couple of years older than him throwing some decent heat, he looked over at me with his jaw dropped and eyes opened wide. I said "that's fine, reach out and touch it next time." He did. I'd say we're a top three team in the league, behind or tied with the team we just beat 11-5 last week, but they didn't have their ace on the mound (whose name actually happens to be "Ace"), and he is without a doubt the best pitcher in the league. Anyway, the kids are having a blast. I'm loving it. My daughter (first year coach pitch, 6) got a hit and scored a run this past week as well. Also tagged a runner out (She seems to be the only one paying attention out there most of the time). Wish I could work with them more, but The Boy's either practicing or playing.
  13. Hell it's not their fault their leader would rather hump bears and half-assed invade neighboring countries (my last CR post bye)
  14. We'll make that two threads I can't read up here at work you horny assed fuckers.
  15. We just had our 2nd practice yesterday (Majors;9-12). I like our coach, he seems good, and his kid's really good. He's not from here, just relocated here, so he didn't know many of the kids, but managed to get an okay roster, but with a lot of young ones (my son included, who is 9, and average-ish with room to improve). All we've done so far is fielding and throwing to the bases called, for a full hour, twice. Some work on cut offs, and a lot on making sure the outfield is backing up the infield. The kids haven't picked up a bat yet, and honestly I'm okay with that. I think it's a good crash-course for the start of the season, and also gives the coach an idea of the kids he's got, where their arms are at, their baseball knowledge etc... Looking like I'll be one of the assistants, which I don't mind, I enjoy it. The coach with the team practicing next to us seems to be "That Guy." He's probably been coaching in this division for three years, knows all of the players and appears to have grabbed a lot of the older, more athletic kids. He also wears baseball pants to practice.
  16. I'll just leave this right'cheer
