  1. I hope 2026 allows each of you to grow as a person and that you can do one small thing each day for someone that makes their day better. I strongly feel that you grow more as a person when you incorporate kindness into your daily routine. Do nice things and do most of them when you will not be getting noticed for them.
  2. Get a new surfboard and get some use out of it. Have the miracle of miracles happen and catch an Ulua from shore. This would require me to not take naps while I fish so this will be a difficult one. Read 50+ books and have at least 30 or more of them not be class related reading.
  3. I feel like this is a good place to put this.
  4. This was at the swearing in ceremony for Mayor Mamdani. If you are familiar with NYC politics you know who Jumaane Williams is. The best descriptor I have for him is if you asked me to name an American that walks the walk and genuinely cares about their fellow human beings this is who I would say is the ideal. I remember listening to him in August 2020 at the March on Washington. He is not a naturally gifted speaker, but he still excels at it. He wears his emotions on his sleeve like a political Dick Vermeil and you’ll see that in this. I am proud of him and what he has done to make New York City better. It is possible to be a public servant and not lose your soul in the process. Mr. Williams is living proof of that.
  5. Okay makes sense. I really have spent zero time understanding NIL and whatnot. In my rudimentary understanding I thought schools have a cap on what they can spend, but outside money is however much they want to spend. I am sure I am probably way off on the specifics. If Campbell wants to spend money on the school he graduated from go for it. Spend as much as you legally can and pay the players in whatever sport you see fit. There are issues I know I think differently on than Campbell, but sports-wise spend on your school if that is what you want to do.
  6. I think it’ll be an issue until they hire a head coach that understands that side of the ball. McGuire isn’t that. All those relationships with HS coaches matter far less now. It’s what are you paying to get players to Lubbock? They need an actual college head coach to take the next step.
  7. I was just reading an article about Landry and he said he always maintained the same expression because he was thinking two plays ahead and he wanted his guys to know there was someone competent and in charge of things on the sideline.
  8. I think anyone who saw Tech this year knew their offense was a big issue for them. They were not built on that side of the ball to beat any of the teams in the SEC or BIG 10. They desperately needed an offense that could at least put up something. Asking their defense to do it all for them is a bit much.
  9. Look you line them up against Carthage and you’re looking at a nice 4A DII state runner-up finish for the Owls.
  10. I haven’t followed most of this real closely so I am not sure what he’s inferring. What are the actual rules on NIL money? What is Campbell allegedly doing that’s not above board? I feel like the only rule is there are none, but I also do not delve too deeply into the money aspect of things.
  11. I would not really dispute that view. I guess I just can’t understand why he was afforded the opportunity to be the head coach this year when he showed he is in over his head before the big money rolled in. To me it just means another wasted season next year if he is at the helm. I want the Big XII rep to have a good showing the playoffs and have an offense that is competent. Such a waste of an incredible defensive unit. That defense paired with an offense with explosive talent and good QB play wins a title in my opinion.
  12. That stuff is great if you win. When your offense does just about what it was capable of today and leaves that ridiculously good defense high and dry it’ll leave a mark. I believe Campbell said publicly that they found their coach in McGuire. Campbell might should realize that coach he loves is a clown with zero ability to coach at this level. He’s Mack Brown with no VY and even less football acumen. If Tech is serious about winning fire him after next year and see who you can money whip to come to Lubbock.
  13. I cannot figure out how he was not fired last off-season as he is the epitome of a JAG. I would take Utah’s new head coach, with all of one win under his belt after their bowl game, before McGuire. Heck I’ll take three toes in Boulder before him. Tech employing him is good for the small cadre of teams trying to have good football programs in the Big XII.
  14. I said this on here before the playoffs started that the Big XII had one really good team this year in Tech. The rest of the conference was average to outright mediocre. I also said Tech’s defense would keep them in a game, but they had two issues. One is they had an average offense. No real explosive players that worry an opposing defensive coordinator and they had an average to below average QB. You take that and combine it with having a JAG for a head coach in McGuire and this outcome isn’t shocking. He will forever hold Tech back until Campbell and Co decide to fire him. Thankfully, for the three or four teams trying to win in the conference, this helps us out. He was saved by the amount of spending on players. That’s it. If not for that he’s unemployed right now and looking for a program analyst job.
  15. That he called that a top three movie for him is funny. He must’ve watched only three movies this year. I did enjoy the movie. It was funny and it did what it was supposed to do. I like Jack Black and Paul Rudd. It was a stupid fun movie, but fun nonetheless.
  16. If he wanted to keep it real he’d be in the Sunny South at Annie Mae’s if that place is still open and he’d finish the night somewhere in the Four Deuce neighborhood shooting off a few rounds while yelling out “F the police.”
  17. Probably both and they'll do it with a nose full of coke.
  18. Wait until you get Chrispy’s current iteration, one in which it looks like he used to make actual posts going back to 2022. I think his current handle is Vegas64 as that is the one made three years ago. It was not hard to figure out it was him when he posted about an interaction with a billionaire where he had to prove to himself something odd. Easily the strangest person this side of the gru chatbot.
  19. Seyfried’s acting in this was pretty good. Sweeney was, well, she did what her fans want to see. She got naked and that’s about it. Her acting in Christy and Eden was actually good. The only part of this where her acting was above par was when she was angry in the 2nd half of the film. I hope for her sake she finds some way to be in movies where she doesn’t have to get naked for anyone to show up and watch it because hoo boy she is not going to age well.
  20. When you are starting a Make-A-Wish QB this stuff happens. I would have been shocked if he ended his career in any other fashion than how he did.
  21. Watched about 15 or so plays. That was enough for me. Manny Diaz still runs nothing defensively despite that being his side of the ball. Sims is out, 35 other guys didn’t play today, but mainly Sims is done. Thanks for one final backbreaking INT before you begin your nondescript career that never involves football again. Hope 2026 brings a Division 1 caliber offensive line and perhaps a transfer QB that understands how to consistently throw the forward pass. Dillingham squeezed just about all he could from this team so no complaints with him.
  22. That community college arts degree really gave that bio some added cred.
  23. Of course he’d do it today. No complaints. Set some records on your way out. Nice to see points on the board before halfway through the 2nd quarter.
  24. I didn’t even get a chance to get my line setup yet before the good guys scored on an 83 yard drive.
