  1. That was then. What about now that the evil empire has invaded the SEC galaxy and negative propaganda is at full throttle?
  2. Fingers crossed these are minor. Keep hoping this guy will get over the hump.
  3. I give it a thumbs up although I don't find the Hatch flavor to particularly pop. Perhaps it contributes to the overall flavor profile though. It makes a good taco and I'd buy it again.
  4. Arch will have a much better RB situation to start the year, likely equal or at least similar WRs, slight downgrade on OL and TE, and Sark will have a much bigger plays selection given Arch's scrambling and long ball. The defense will be likely at least equal and very possibly better. Aside from TO's, fewer stalled drives. Because there was a shit ton of them last season and shitty punting to go along with them. Our defense has better depth and breadth of talent, but have it to prove in terms of resiliency. But I believe the culture is there to maintain that standard. While it's true the defense had some breakdowns at times, they seemed to toe the line far more often than not when the offense was hanging them out to dry. Kept us in games.
  5. After OU he got all my respect. Guy is also 15 pounds bigger and more explosive per Nahlin. You couldn't tell it by the weights listed on the roster. Not saying it isn't true, or partially so, but I was particularly interested to see what kind of mass he put on over the off-season and he's listed at 194 lbs vs 200 lbs last season. Perhaps he has redistributed his mass. Or maybe they just need to update it. I certainly expected he would make improvements with another season of his body maturing and Torre Becton's supervision. I'm hoping he outperforms expectations and has a kick-ass season.
  6. Are you sure about that? Maybe she just needs to shave ...
  7. If Baxter can hold up under full-contact play, that will be huge. Regardless, there is tangible opportunity to incentivize Clark, Gibson and Simon.
  8. I am curious about his run blocking, even if there is an expectation of improved run blocking on the interior. As a unit though, OL remains the big ? for me. Behind that, who will RB2 and RB3 be? And can they protect the ball and their QB?
  9. First I've heard of him. Maybe he's miffed he couldn't make the cut at the flagship. An inferiority complex is consistent with trying to act like the smartest guy in the room.
  10. With OT being a priority, seems like a contingency option should be considered. Perhaps late risers will be evaluated. Will be interesting to see if alternative names crop up as time moves on if Lee looks to be unlikely.
  11. He started one year (plus one game) and was injured during testing for the draft. I wouldn’t be too sure of this assumption. Agreed. There are several previous players who didn't really put it all together and fulfill their potential until their final season. Some examples include Alfred Collins, Vernon Broughton, T'Vondre Sweat on defense. Christian Jones and Denzel Okafor come to mind from the OL as players that were frustrating to watch until their final seasons. Campbell has it to prove though.
  12. Practice today from 3pm to 5pm. Sark meeting with media afterwards per Bobby Burton on Coffee & Football.
  13. I can fathom someone not having enough on hand for unexpected guests on short notice. While I've managed that on occasion, it's stressful and could catch one low on stock. But the deliberate invitation of two couples with four children instructed not to eat prior to showing up is a bridge too far and incomprehensible. Even more so that they ate the majority of the food prior to your arrival. Makes one wonder if they're in the early stage of dementia or mental decline. So as not to be totally off-topic, here's some breakfast tacos I made today with HEB Hatch Chorizo. Salsa is homemade. Tortillas from HEB bakery. Double meat cheeseburger with mustard, grilled onions & mushrooms, pickled jalapenos, lettuce & tomatoes from yesterday evening served with a mug of Founders Porter.
  14. Picked up some Hatch Chorizo I'll be trying for the first time.
  15. Founders - Porter, 6.5% Alc., 👍 Have posted this combo before, but damn if it wasn't worth a revisit. MyFitnessPal need not apply, taste buds front and center. Double meat w/cheese & mustard, grilled onions & mushrooms, pickled jalapenos, lettuce, tomatoes
  16. Fantastic news. First I've seen anything definitive about Shaw's knee issue. This puts Clark at the 2nd heaviest RB behind Baxter. I don't agree on him being the only RB able to make people miss. Simon's HUDL tape shows some good shiftiness. He doesn't show the extreme cutting ability that Bijan did (who does?), but he has excellent vision and nimble feet. More of a cut and slash style, he is elusive weaving through traffic. Have yet to hear anything about the RB's behind Wisner regarding QB protection. With pads coming on next week, maybe we'll start to hear more about it. Some have mentioned wanting to see whether Gibson has overcome his fumbling issues, but he was also a minus protecting the QB last season.
  17. was at the beach yesterday and realized the same
  18. Good discussion on the DL for those with the time and inclination. Brief mention of Myron Charles potential from Bobby. Be interesting to see whether he makes his presence felt this season. My thoughts are Texas will, or should be, tough to run against this season, not just for the DL but also with a seasoned tandem of Ant Hill and Leona Lefau in tow. Which may end up testing the secondary more as opponents seek the easier path. OTH, that ridiculous EDGE room along with Ant Hill getting after the QB should also help in that regard.
  19. also “sleeveless tank” is redundant. Ditto for "cut off jorts".
  20. I was thinking the same and so worth highlighting your comment. I'd also add Linda Hunt to the list.
