  1. The generally accepted belief is that we only get Tosh if he’s a play calling DC. That’s been covered several times in this thread, albeit fewer times than folks have shared either their fajitas recipe or their favorite ice cream.
  2. And that thread is great if all you care about is confirmed hires. Some of us like to follow the speculative part of the process, which is not captured there. BTW, all the shit posters know that there are entire fucking forums for the kind of inane and banal bullshit that you fucks insist on dragging into this topic, right?
  3. I care, because wading through 5 pages of shit posting to find the 1 or 2 legitimate updates fucking sucks. It’s not like there aren’t plenty of other options on this site for that kind of discourse either.
  4. I wish I understood why some people get up in arms about ice. I also wish I understood why some people put ice in whiskey in general.
  5. This reeks of Urban or bust energy. I think Sark wanted Boom, thought he would get Boom, but didn’t get Boom. He’s now scrambling to vet the other options, and he hasn’t found the right fit yet. That’s my read on what’s happening, FWIW. And I’m painfully aware that it’s not worth a got damned thing. I just think people need to quit living in fantasy land when it comes to Muschamp.
  6. Woooooow. Sad sad effort.
  7. Sheesh. Some terrible individual efforts there. Should have put this away by now.
  8. This is really bad football on our part. Everything is two touch or more at the moment. Very little flow or creativity. Depressing to watch.
  9. I get it, up to a certain point. I assume they were trying to find a way to stand out on shelves that have become increasingly competitive. I don't love the bottle, but the SiB Rye I have is absolutely delicious, so I'm not about to deny myself that experience because I don't care for their marketing. For comparison's sake, I would rate it above the Willet 4 year and probably above the EHT Straight Rye as well. I thought the BiB Bourbon was meh, so I'm hoping that the SiB Bourbon has something in common the SiB Rye. Of the 4 bottles pictured above, I'm only keeping one. A few buddies wanted to check out their stuff so I had my friend send down extras for them.
  10. This one is 115.
  11. Man, was I ever happy to intercept this package before the wife got home.
  12. Maybe. Master Teague and Sermon platooned for most the year, with Teague being the starter for the first 6 games. And he was fully healthy vs. Bama. Not to discount the loss of Sermon, who is clearly talented. However, it's not like Teague was some scrub walk-on either.
  13. Not sure this constitutes proof, but it's certainly evidence that would seem to challenge your hypothesis. Exhibit A: Exhibit B: I think most would say that Clemson has a pretty solid defense, and Fields worked them over something fierce. Modern defense has evolved and the emphasis has shifted towards 1) limiting explosive offensive plays and 2) being stingy in the red zone. While disruptive plays and turnovers are still great outcomes, you can't be solely dependent on those things vs. modern offenses. This is particularly true is your own offense is prolific, as your defense is going to be on the field a lot more.
  14. Great fucking bottle. The Discovery series is now an auto-buy for me, even at ~$120. I have a bunkered bottle of Series 2 and Series 3, and a Series 4 bottle en route from an out of town contact that found it while hunting in Illinois.
  15. So wait. Fields is 6/15 for 90 yards in the first half and people think Bama should be doing better defensively? Did we all watch the same OSU vs Clemson game? Seriously, surly. What in the literal fuck?
  16. It's a high Rye bourbon, not an out and out rye. It's still 51%+ corn. I thought I read that the Rye content was 37% of the total mashbill somewhere. I've had it twice so far, and came away liking it both times. I need to go back to it soon for one more critical tasting, as air has more pronounced impact on GB bottles. What I took away from the first two pours was that the "signature GB note" was still there, but not nearly as front and center as their standard expressions. It was more of a background note. There was more spice present, which I assume came from the Rye and is also likely responsible for balancing things out a bit. Additionally, the finish had a mintyness to it that I really enjoyed. The only knock I have against it is that it's not as complex as I was thinking it would be going into it. For now, I've give it a solid B/B+.
  17. I think Balmorhea is supposed to release sometime in January. That’s what they told us when we were out there for the Hye Rye release anyway.
  18. God dammit. You fucks need to stop Urban or Busting up this thread. Get in a fucking chat room with all this ice cream bullshit.
  19. $65
  20. I may have this wrong, but I was operating under the belief that the barrels intended for batch 3 were ultimately scrapped and/or repurposed into other Beam brands given that they did not pass muster with Fred. My understanding is that the juice inside of Pigskin is the juice that was originally intended for whatever Batch 4 was going to be named. They did not want to skip a batch number, so they still released it as Batch 3/Pigskin, and there won’t be a 2020 Batch 4 bottling released. Again, that’s how I understand the sequence of events. I have heard really good things from friends I trust about Pigskin, but have yet to pull the trigger.
  21. I want Sark hiring coordinators that desperately want his job. If that means we are searching for new coordinators every 2-4 years, great. That means we are getting hungry guys on their way up with plenty to prove. I don’t want anyone that’s perfectly happy being a career coordinator. I’m sure there is a mouth breather that is going to say Boom is now a “career coordinator” based on failing twice as a head coach. I promise you that he would punch you square in your fucking face if you told him that’s how he feels. He may never make it as a successful head coach, but no chance in hell he’s ready to give up on that goal.
  22. If Hutzler is already out, you have to assume he knows Ash is out too. All things being equal, I’d rather have Coleman on the staff. That said, this all a normal part of any regime change. There are candidates out there that can fill in the gap, and this staff is still shaping up to be much stronger top to bottom than the staff Hutzler was part of.
  23. Do you even surly, bro?
