    This is the kind of shit that pisses me off. 

    I said it seemed like Blue had an attitude problem and even called out that it was how things seemed. I did not even assert that it was reality, just appearance.

    You rocked up into the conversation and said that Blue never had an attitude problem and that this board was shitting on him for stupid reasons. You got called out for being wrong, demanded that other people prove you were wrong, then when that happened you acted like your ignorance was more valuable than other people's knowledge. Now you're pulling this motte-and-bailey bullshit where you pretend people were attacking the kid and calling him cancer. No one said that, and in fact we soft pedaled it as much as possible.

    You're not really a bad poster, but this is a terrible series of posts and you should probably shut the fuck up for a bit. 

    Today I learned about mottes and baileys and also the motte and bailey fallacy.

    No one is trying to go into any depth with you because you aren't worth the effort with this kind of bullshit. You're misinformed and blathering voluminously as though what you're spewing has any value for the discussion. It doesn't. You've been pathetically wrong here while first trying to cast aspersions with certitude, and now you're crawfishing with the bitch ass "tell me why I'm wrong" nonsense. 

    I somehow missed any discussion of Blue being some sort of team cancer, guilty as charged.

    No one said that either, dum dum.

    Pro-tip: If you're going to call someone out then provide examples of why what I said is wrong. Nobody has done that so far..

    You are on this board too frequently to not have read the 1000 discussions and updates, many contemporaneously, about Blue's travels to be this fucking ignorant. Holy shit.

    Browsing the board and occasionally posting isn't the same as paying attention. Guess I missed all the Blue controversy. I knew about him entering the portal, but also know he came back out pretty quickly. If the coaching staff didn't want him around he would be somewhere else doing his thing.

    The guy didn't enter the fucking portal. No one is arguing that the coaching staff wants the guy around. Get a fucking clue here, man.

    So everyone who doesn't see a path to starting and enters the portal has attitude issues? Apparently Blue's wasn't too bad since he was either talked into coming back and/or allowed to come back if he decided on his own.

    I really liked it, but to this day have only seen it once. The dad/daughter stuff was just too much. 

    Replace what you're saying with Inception and that is me. I've seen Interstellar probably 20 times and love it. I watched Inception at the movies and enjoyed it, but I have never seen it since. 

    Also to those in this discussion, everyone agrees that Tenet is absolute dogshit, correct? We all watched it at a rented theater during corona while sitting multiple seats apart during the film, so no one could really talk. I walked outside after the movie, waited for the other 15 guys we were with to stand around and said "I just have one question ... does anybody know what in the fuck we just watched?" and then most of us busted out laughing. Great cinematography and score and probably even acting, but just absolutely convoluted nonsense. 

    Also also, the only guy who actually attempted to explain to the rest of us what was going on in Tenet? @SydneyCarton, who was then lampooned for his pedantry all the way to his car.

  7. I enjoyed my trip to Boston. Thanks to those who provided thoughts on this thread. Thoughts below for anyone else visiting down the line:

    The Freedom Trail was excellent, as hoped. Had Bell in Hand Ale at the The Bell-in-Hand along the way. Would do again.

    Went to the Fenway area on Saturday and they were having their 2024 Red Sox Open House. We got to go on the field and walk the entire fence line, go into dugouts, the press box, you name it. That shit was cool. Had drinks at various pubs along Landsdowne afterwards for awhile.

    Visited MIT since we have a kid who really wants to go there and might have a shot. Not a good campus to visit. 

    Walked shopped Newbury with my wife and she thought the shop options were strong.

    In terms of restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner, I'd rate them this way:

    1) Yvonne's - cool menu, really cool vibe inside, great service. We had the "Lazy Lobster Dumplings" as one of the dishes and could have had 5 helpings of that.

    2) Parker House - did this for lunch and did the chowder, the scrod, the Boston Creme Pie and Parker House rolls. Just thought the whole thing was cool inside that hotel. We sat at the table next to the one JFK proposed to Jackie at and didn't know it until the end. Fun shit like that. They serve high quality food and it was not ridiculously priced. 

    3) Sorellina - Solid Italian. We had a lamb Lumache that was excellent but almost too al dente. Everything outside of that was excellent. Their rendition of veal saltimbocca was good but weird. It was basically served as involtini and took away from the flavors, I think.

    4) Four Seasons - We stayed here and had high tea one lunch and they do a great job with it if that is your thing. My wife is British and when we spot high tea, I find that we somehow wind up doing it.

    5) Bricco - We liked it, but I didn't view it as anything that outpaced quality Italian places in Houston like the original, non-chain Carraba's, Di Marco or Coppa, depending upon dining style preference. The eggplant bake for an appetizer was outstanding. I'd recommend it, just not above the other two dinner places from our visit.

    6) Tatte - Local chain of breakfast/brunch/pastry fare. I had a lamb shakshuka that is as good as anything like that I've ever had. This place smokes places like it in Houston such as Common Bond, IMO. It's a chain and it was breakfast, so whatever, but I'd like one around the corner from my office in Houston for breakfast once every week or two.

    Would be difficult to top the 2000 class of Williams, Johnson, and Thomas if we’re strictly talking from a high school rankings perspective.

    That's three of the top-six WRs.

    Moore, Ffrench, Lockett are three of the top FOUR WRs ---- and this doesn't include Kelshaun.

    Tony Jeffery/Jefferies/? was also in that class couched by Rivals as an ATH but recruited the whole by Texas as a WR, if memory serves. It was a beast of a class on the WR end.

    After looking at his HUDL highlights and knowing what we have on campus, it seems like that spot that we've offered to Jordan Davison could be better spent on another position.

    We are going to see some TB attrition. There’s a reason they’re taking 2 every time they can.

    For someone who refers to another as a “lying piece of shit” you sure have a way of making up arguments in your head.

    At least attempt to be original, guy. Good lord.

    “A lying piece of shit”. Wow lol. Sorry I got confused about which coach who hasn’t accomplished shit you were advocating for.

    Ive literally called for DP to be fired many times on this board. But I am not replacing him with a bunch of dudes who haven’t done anything.

    Why are you such a thin skinned pussy? Maybe don’t talk shit to everyone else if you’re gonna act like a baby when someone says something back.

    That’s a lot of words to just say “I’m an ardent David Pierce supporter. I would never replace him unless someone promised me a sure thing so I can sleep at night without my safety blanket. “

    Oh yea that’s absolutely what I’ve said. You constantly call others clowns because they think results matter but then you’re ok with saying Saarloos or Walter lol.

    Fair. Gotta do something and Jack O Dowd certainly ain’t the answer 

    Never mentioned Saarloos. Negged for being a lying piece of shit. 

    Keep carrying water for Pierce. Let’s see how it works out. So far, so good.

    You’re the guy who was advocating hiring someone who’s been to Omaha once in 18 years.

    You’re the guy campaigning for a lifetime contract for David Pierce.
