  1. huh, I woulda thought a guy named Biff was destined for success.
  2. while there might've been only one official drop, I still expect an elite receiver to catch a deflected ball that hits him in both hands and catch a deep ball that bounces off his chest. Worthy's big problem is he always lets the ball get to his chest, he is not a natural at using his hands to catch. What separates him from the best of the best imo.
  3. Watch Conner on the 4th down attempt after Brooks was pushed out at the 1. If he actually gets low and drives his man (who he outweighs by at least 50 lbs) backwards Brooks probably scores. Now, one could make the argument, why are we running to the left side of the line when we know Conner is a poor run blocker and Campbell and Jones are much better at moving their man off the line. But who are we to question the genius play caller?
  4. Yeah that guard pull play action needs to be ripped out of the playbook. It has resulted in more sacks than any other look, especially when you’re asking an oaf like Conner to make it over in time to a DE or blitzing LB
  5. he's a mean sumbitch. i might have to make the 20 minute drive to watch DS
  6. yeah I kept telling the folks I was watching with he has to be hurt. He looked like he wasn't physically able to move laterally.
  7. one thing I hope we're preparing for is the triple option that KU ran on us. Not something you see too often these days and we were not ready for it. I could see OU going to that early with Gabriel to get their run game going
  8. I was just 10 years old, but my family helped evacuate a bunch of horses from the stable we kept ours at away from onion creek. Another place down the road didn’t move all theirs and some drowned in their pens.
  9. Yeah it seems pretty anachronistic at this point. A relic of a bygone era when you’d work for the same company for 30 years.
  10. I figured the Fed pausing would be good for the rates, why did it jump so much?
  11. How do you attack the 335 tite effectively? Feels like you have to be able to attack the edges with wide/outside zone and be able to play action off of that. It takes patience and precise execution We’ve been average at best at getting much push in the run game and ewers is still inconsistent in his delivery so we’re often in 3rd and long where the flyover defense is at its best
  12. Yeah when the Fightin Texas Aggie Band marches in you really get a rare glimpse of what the Parisians must’ve felt like in 1940.
  13. you think 240k household income is average?
  14. IDK, that play at 1:39 where he ran down field 60 yards doesn't give off 'I don't like football' vibes to me
  15. aren't student interest loan rates fixed? Why would they go up?
  16. Yeah I've noticed pretty widespread over predicting of the temps from local sources. June at ABIA doesn't seem as hot as they made it sound like it was going to be during that heatwave: https://www.wunderground.com/history/monthly/us/tx/austin/KAUS/date/2023-6 Obviously it was still miserable with the heat index, but they made it seem like it was going to be over 100 on a lot of those days from mid-month on
  17. I think I remember his part in the Chernobyl mini series
  18. Thanks man. Realistically we wouldn’t be doing this until for 2-3 more years if we’re being honest with ourselves, but when the heat index is 115 you start day dreaming about gtfoing. Whenever we do pull the trigger I know who we’ll be working with on the next mortgage.
  19. when do we think house prices will start going back in the Austin metro? We bought only a year ago in West Buda (thanks Wulaw), and it is quite nice and we've enjoyed living here so far...but idk if either of us can take too many more summers around here. This is all quite hypothetical at this point, but if we were to sell right now we would lose money, seeing how we bought right before the rates turned everything over. Just wondering how long the experts around here think we have before we start to see things go up modestly. I'm sure rates going back down is a big part to play.
  20. The Village Buttery is the best place to get lunch in Ruidoso. And their pies are insanely good.
  21. I don't know if it has already been brought up, but I think dating apps make up a large part of the problem for younger generations. I am very thankful I never had to deal with them. They encourage only giving somebody a cursory glance before making a decision. It is more like a job interview process than a romantic initiation. Interactions are so transactional and disposable if you don't stand out immediately you get no matches, which would really hurt someone who might be physically unremarkable but has a lot to offer in the personality/smarts department. I know they have worked for people, but I just feel like it is overall dehumanizing and antithetical to how humans have been finding mates for centuries.
