    No. Stop.

    He's had sciatica. If he can't scramble, at all, in a P5 football game as a QB, then don't fucking play him. Sorry for the back pain, but either get your shit together and take some meds and get out there, or just say you can't go.

    It's weird how well some guys can play the QB position when there is no threat of contact. The spring game tells us precisely dick about Maalik Murphy. People were saying to ignore that appearance since it occurred and have been largely ignored. 

    The guy has rushed for -18 yards on one carry in two starts, I just looked it up. He's imagined pressure and thrown the ball both early and off of his back foot repeatedly in both games. He's playing like he's scared of contact and it is fucking things up. Either he needs to pull it together and be a grown ass man, or just say "thanks for the scholarship" and turn over his wings. 

    This. Plus the kicker for me is his reaction to the interception where he gave up trying to make the tackle. Gave up. Can't remember if KS or BYU. 

  2. Wow that is pricey insurance, I won't be complaining about mine anymore.  Somewhat understandable low time and a retract, but wow. 

    My next-door neighbor has a -300 and was formerly the president of the International Comanche Society. You might want to touch base with them for a check out program endorsed by them which may help your insurance rate. They also may be able to recommend a Comanche experienced local (to the plane) mechanic for a pre-buy inspection.

    Good Luck.

    With things like the F35 cockpit, helmet, and cameras enabling pilots to see through the plane, why even have windows if they have a significant RCS penalty? Although, I assume those camera systems also have a RCS penalty. 

    No real penalty . On the F-117a they were coated in gold film, opaque to radar. We had the regularly measure ohm readings at various points to periodically to ensure integrity.

    Kestrel?

    If so, karen on the river crossing next door app is losing their mind over noise. ABATE NOISE.

    Sounds the same every fucking weekend when the weather is nice.

    Once a year. The open house is to invite bordering neighborhoods to come see what Kestrel is about, meet those of us who live here, have some free bbq and give rides to anyone who is interested. It is a vehicle to improve community relations with face to face interaction.

    The Association constantly stresses to all that being good neighbors is critically important. 

    The internet makes it easy for idiots to make uninformed snap judgements and the broadcast them to the world. Since this is surly, f$#k Karen.

  5. Once had a solid cloud deck below flying cross country in a rental tomahawk. Had to use a windex bottle I frantically found after first emptying the windex out the small side window. Long time ago. 

    Couldn't imagine spending that much time in a slow "spam can". 

  6. I fly out of uncontrolled Airports 99% of the time.  The twin driver is 100% at fault. Pattern traffic has the right of way, so his responsibility is to sequence in safely. Calling a 10 mile straight in is fine if the pattern is empty, but sounds like 3 aircraft in the pattern already, so he should have flown an upwind or deviated his route to use another safe entry like midfield cross.

    Dumb and 100% avoidable.

    Herman was significantly better than Charlie. 

    Yeah right. Look at the roster Charlie had his first year and look at Herman's. Both couldn't get it done, but Charlie was a better evaluator at talent.

    That's a fair point.  But folks on here try to act as if Mario was some kind of bust and *obviously* the Texans should've taken Vince.  Except that Mario racked up almost 100 career sacks.  The Texans went with an immediate impact pass rusher instead of a rookie qb who wasn't a very accurate thrower and no franchise receiver or tight end yet to help him.  It's actually really hard to argue with that logic if you're not a blind Longhorn homer.

    Mario had the better career and could be argued the better player, but he was still the wrong choice. If the Texans would have been a contender then yes, a DE can be the difference maker (Haley to Cowboys for example). But, they were an expansion franchise lacking impact talent and depth. You draft Vince to build the fan base and be able to run for his life. Vince made other players better, Mario did not. The win/loss record would not have been significantly different most likely, but having Andre to throw to would have been much different from what he had in Tennessee.

  9. All you need to know about Herman was on display yesterday.

    Start the game with a delay of game and equipment violation. ???

    The exact same disjointed crap they called an offense last year is still in place. Brand new coordinator /interim head coach for Maryland had their offense look like it knew what it wanted to do.

     He says player accountability is paramount, but evidently coach accountability is not.
