    Do any of you guys know bear country? Maybe the builder would know, but I'm wondering what is a problem and what isn't a problem. I've heard trash is a problem, but if you put the trash in the garage, I've heard about cases like:

    Still, I think the garage is the answer. I don't have any clue on when people put trash out for pickup or if there is pickup.

    And we are doing an addition next year (so I'll probably know the answer by then, but if you guys know)... Is an outdoor dining area possible? Is a grill in a dining area like below possible? Currently, there is induction cooking inside. I don't know much about grilling inside though and I know nothing about how to do it with induction heat. Shit, maybe I should have bought a house in the Caribbean first.

    Now does all this depend on how big of a bear problem exists? Originally, we purchased a lot near Sandpoint, ID and there isn't much of a bear problem there. Then we were going to buy near Yellowstone, but the wife wanted to be near a lake. Finally, we settled on the west side of Flathead lake in Montana. The east side of the lake is closer to Glacier and most of the mountains so it definitely has more bears. But there are bears on both sides and we are a little higher up in elevation for the views and on 10 acres so it is somewhat rural. Hopefully, the views make it all worthwhile.

    And I now we all know the rationale for your defense of the American health care system in the other thread!

    Who is insulting Arch. I am calling it how it is. Listen to you all. Dude is in the quarters of the CFP and y'all are ready to jettison this dude into the sun no matter the outcome of this season because you think the guy behind him is better than he is with no proof of that other than two games vs the two worst opponents on our schedule.

     

    Colt threw 18 interceptions in 2007 and hadn't done anything great up until then. Ewers threw 6 picks last year, won the big 12, got us into the CFP, and almost the championship game despite us letting the opposing QB throw for 430 yards on us. It's one thing to not be good. Players know when they can't play and accept their lot in life for the most part. But to already be the 3rd in almost every category. To have taken your school to two straight conference championship games, and two straight CFPs? That's a shit sandwich for someone who has helped get us back on the mountain top.

    In my lifetime the most hated QBs on the 40 were Simms, Ewers, and Gilbert in that order. One of these things is not like the other. Ewers is 2-1 vs OU. He threw for 452 and and 358 in his two conference championship appearances. Even last year in the CFP game. He didn't hit the last throw but dude threw for 318 and no picks. Win at a high rate. Beat OU. Get us to conference championships. Ewers has done all three and we still dislike him.

    Agree with the overall message of your post, but Gilbert was literally booed off the field. Think you might be underselling that just a bit.

    You should really read an entire post before responding to it. Had you done so, you'd see that I ended up not being livid.

    Early in the game, it looked like it might be a horse race of scoring. I was okay with it. And there is the whole Auburn thing, another thing I mention in the post you didn't bother to read.

    Unfortunately for me, I did read your post. You said “I think the decision this time is mitigated by the poor performance of Auburn. That mitigates the decision, but does not fully justify it.” Auburn is perfect inside 40 this year (9/9 I believe). In fact he hasn’t missed one inside the 40 since September of 2023.

    So, you were irrationally angry about going for it, but then you convinced yourself it wasn’t so bad for irrational reasons. I feel like I’m arguing with my wife.

    I was livid when Sark chose to go for it. It gives the other side a chance for celebration and rejuvenation. The UH game is the perfect example. There are, of course, other examples in Sark's tenure and Herman's.

    I think the decision this time is mitigated by the poor performance of Auburn. That mitigates the decision, but does not fully justify it. 

    Sometimes, I think head coaches get too tied up in the math of the score. Going for it yesterday may have been the best chance to score, but the risk was the victory the other team may get when they are on the ropes. Missing a field goal is a relief to the other side rather than a victory.

    I still think Sark should have kicked, but this decision wasn't as stupid as other times. I still think Sark is learning.  He went with the running game yesterday. He blamed himself for not doing so more often in the past. 

    I admire cold self-assessment in anyone. It's not easy when the world is celebrating your success. I really like our coach.

    Were you similarly livid when Sark went for it on the first drive from essentially the same spot and we scored 7?

    Kick the FG in the 1st half .  Take points.   Learn from it dammit.  Hook’em

    His 4th down plays are either great, or an abomination

     

    he needs to learn to take the points more often, specially in the cfp

    Again, we went for it on 4th twice in the 1st half from nearly the same spot. We converted the first and got 7. We missed the second. Had we just kicked field goals both times, we would only have 6.

    I get it, math can be frustrating when you are an emotional person.

    I agree. I sent this text to a low to low-intermediate football fan. Yes a girl. 

    I don’t know if it’s just me, but our playbook has been very simplified since that first loss to Georgia. Head coaches simplify playbooks when they lose confidence in their quarterback. It’s simplified in order to statistically limit errors by the quarterback. That’s what all the short to the corner passes are. High percentage completions that give the struggling quarterback confidence, but gets only minimal gain.

    I remember early in season we were throwing deeper. We had a lot more explosive plays (plays that go for 25 yards or more). We don’t have many of those. anymore.

    Sark has lost confidence in Ewers, hence the few times he lets him throw an intermediate route, the idiot throws an interception. So back to the bubble screens. Rely fully on running game.

    It’s all very frustrating. We’ll get close this year but won’t win it all. Next year should be our greatest shot

    Notice the “should”.

    But it is going to get worse. Because as I’ve mentioned 3 million times, Ewers is going to come back next year. But the death knell is that Sark is going to throw all his support to this kid.

    And as I write this he throws a shit ball.

    Woah, I’ll bet ya she wrote back tldr

    We’ve just got to be better coming out of halftime. 5 straight games without a 3rd quarter touchdown. Quinn was 6/10 for 61 yards in the second half after a good first half. It just never feels like the offensive can consistently move the ball through the air in its current state. Maybe a healthy Bond changes things, but I don’t know. We will need to run the ball extremely well in every game going forward to win.

    Maybe losing 2 starting offensive linemen and a starting running back had a little bit to do with that today

    Defense was fine. Cade was playing out of his mind, as were their receivers. . Only other team that can do that is Oregon. 
     

    edit: main concern was we weren’t getting any pressure for awhile there. Maybe got top vanilla. 

    Was getting flashbacks to Washington a few times in the second half. Just absolute dimes and great catches into pretty good coverage.

    Once you see it you'll see how vanilla the new one is.

    The old one is in the pantheon of fucked up but not snuff-level films. Fantastic movie.  The new one is surprisingly good, but adjusted for the main stream American public.

    Here’s a morning shot of overt racism from the aggies on 247. This is in the middle of a thread about Hudson where they’re debating the veracity of Hudson NIL demands. It bled into UT NIL discussion/ignorance and complaints about all of them gol’durned Mexicans in San Antonio buying Walmart Texas gear.

    Yes, but I don't know why so many people think he's the difference maker. Malcom Brown had more power and was faster, and he's not the 2nd coming of Benson. I'd rather have a Bijan who was better at breaking tackles and had crazy open field elusiveness. I know you don't get a Bijan every year but we can hope for something close. Gibson may turn out to be the best option next year as he appears to be an all around type back and Baxter can be the short yardage, 4th qtr guy. Or maybe Quintrevion continues to improve and no one can beat him out.

    This post has it all
