SEC Catch-all Thread
I was curious as what the new guy hazing might look like and here it is. And as others have pointed out upthread, Texas home games were baked into our admittance into the conference. Meanwhile, OU continues to get a free ride.

Tell me about ou
I think it’ll depend on how the season plays out, but Mateer needs to think about his medical redshirt + keeping the college NIL gravy train going. Medical redshirt = 30% or less of the teams games. He’s played 4 games of a 12 game schedule so he’s already right on the line. If it’s 8 weeks that would be the Bama game. If it’s 10 weeks that’s LSU. They’d have to be in the conference championship hunt to bring him for either game.

2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀 [Now Featuring Kevin Durant]
Holiday’s ball handling is pretty rough. He reminds me an Astros prospect. He does everything pretty well, but lacks a critical skill to play his position at an above average level.

The Mandalorian and Grogu
The trailer kind of had a The Rocketeer vibe. It seems pretty intentional given the graphics/font. If that’s the case, there are certainly parallels but it’s an odd wagon to hitch on to. The Rocketeer was largely a flop and hasn’t enjoyed much of a cult classic following.

One Battle After Another, the next Paul Thomas Anderson film
I’m about 11 hours into Vineland. Based on the trailers, this is going to be a very loose adaptation. PTA is a better screenwriter than Thomas Pynchon. I don’t think anyone would argue otherwise. Again based on the trailers, I could see Leo and Del Toro’s characters in the first 3 hours of the book. It then jumps to a femme fatale ninja story with hippies and communes and The Man. The plan is to finish Vineland and roll up to the matinee showing on Friday.

I couldn’t do on the Widow Jane 13. I read the small print, distilled in KY, IN and TN. To my knowledge Jack doesn’t contract distilled for anybody, so I assume it’s Dickel. No thanks. Picked up a Baker’s 13 instead.

Sam, we’re a little worried about the Gilroy game
A family member had the same cancer with far fewer resources to fight it. This is a death sentence. The shocking weight loss is very sad. It robs your memories of who they were. Cancer is a plague.

You better get this one right, but word of mouth reviews in this thread are far more reliable than Reddit reviews. I’ll give it a shot.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Houston? Non-CR thread
Drugs addicts living near bodies of water are never a good mix. It’s not unique to Houston or in your case Austin. I hope your defense attorney is looking into this phenomenon.

He’ll be fine in 2 weeks, but it doesn’t help that he’s not practicing. The kid needs reps.

SEC Catch-all Thread
I believe OU’s first choice after Texas was Florida for recruiting obviously. Probably wouldn’t have been mad at aggy on the schedule either to give them another game in Texas. They were never going to duck Mizzou because of the Big 8 thing. Ole Miss and Mizzou is a net zero in recruiting.

Florida Gators
I believe aggy was his only other serious option. Odd recruitment. He only took an official visit to Florida. Last 3 unofficial visits before committing to Florida: Clemson, Baylor, USC.

Anybody swing by the Spec’s on 35th in Austin? Based on the Reelz, that has to be the nicest Spec’s in Texas. Im

Houston: where to stay?
Glad you had a good time. Hermann is a great park. I’d probably go Zilker, Landa, and Hermann in that order in Texas.

Houston BBQ
I love Peter’s. I could drive home from UT and eat a good lunch for about 15 bucks. Simpler times.

I think their website gave my phone AIDS. I do see pigeon on the menu, that is pretty, pretty wild. What’s your review of their lamb chops?

Houston BBQ
Can somebody explain $15 for a chipped beef sandwich?! We’re talking about the trimmings from slicing brisket for by the pound and meat plate orders. I was thinking about getting a sandwich at Feges last week and passed. Link: https://fegesbbq.com/greenway-plaza/#menu Peter’s in Ellinger still charges $3.99. Other than their rent, what makes Feges’ sandwich $11 better than Peter’s?

Maybe it rips the band aid off. While I like Fred, he wasn’t supposed to get a second contract. Jalen Green sucking shit changed their plans. I’m not going to arm quarterback their summer decision making, but I bet they wish they signed another guard instead of Capela right now. Hopefully we get a nice surprise out of training camp, and a guy like Davidson emerges as a rotational player. Also have a trade deadline to get whatever we might need.

I’ll try any restaurant with lamb chops on the menu once.

Houston BBQ
I’ll try to be gentle here. It can’t be easy to do halal bbq on high level, but Levant sucked shit. I liked the fried okra. The jalapeño cheese sausage was passable. The smoked lamb chops were dry and bland. The baklava was brittle, bland, and unsweet. This isn’t a new restaurant working out th kinks. They’ve open about a year. It’s just a bad restaurant.

H-Town Burgers
And it’s nearly company wide policy to not have specials or happy hours. It’s a great lunch spot if you can put it on company plastic.

Silver lining they had to trade for a guard anyway, this will expedite things. Also forces Reed into a deep end of the pool sink or swim situation instead of the team his entire rookie deal trying to figure out if he’s good. I think any short term fixes are going to require taking a bad contract in a trade and going into the apron as stated above. Not sure they’re willing to do that yet.
