  2. On most forums, people pillory each other for less offensive shit than typos on "their, there, and they're." Welcome and enjoy. Regardless, history will be irrelevant for this. SWC - not relevant. Big12 - not relevant. Clemson's dominance in the bag-game late 2010s - not relevant. THIS YEAR, Texas is a superior team to Clemson - shown above - and should win by 2 TDs. I recall Clemson fans looking for QB2 last year when Klubnick struggled against decent teams. He'll struggle on Saturday, as he has against good teams this year.
  3. There. Your Clampson degree is on display.
  4. I forgot about that . The woman who was the guidance counselor for that group seemed like she was herding cats as much as making sure the students were making proper academic progress. It was mind-boggling.
  5. I do not think all of the NIL money in the world could convince me to transfer from Stanford to OU.
  6. Agree. The Eagles are really good, though. It was a battery-free game, so that's always a plus from Philly.
  7. Hilarious. Edit: seems like Coker is the guy Dallas should have traded for.
  8. Worth a bump. This is a great series.
  9. The first time, I stopped a few mins into the 1st episode. Came back later and pushed through. Glad I did, as I was rewarded
  10. Great cut. Lyrics, for the unitiated. Oh yeah, oh, no, the train, the train Every two or three years the train kill somebody Every two or three years, yeah Everybody knows about the train, okay? You hear it constantly You... I, I think the train is a way to find your way out of this life If you get hit by it A couple of kids got hit by a Union Pacific train Carrying sheet metal and household appliances Through the pouring rain They were planning on getting married after graduation Had a little baby girl, trouble came and shut it down Things like that ain't supposed to happen In this quiet town Families are tight Good people, they still don't deadbolt their doors at night In this quiet town When we first heard opioid stories They were always in whispering tones Now banners of sorrow mark the front steps of childhood homes Parents wept through daddy's girl eulogies And merit badge milestones with their daughters and sons Laying there lifeless in their suits and gowns Somebody's been keepin' secrets In this quiet town They know how to live Good people who lean on Jesus They're quick to forgive In this quiet town Now whenever I'm near the town I'll find some reason to give And I will walk with the dead and the living where I used to live And every time I see my parents in the prime of their lives Offering their son the kind of love he could never put down Part of me is still that stainless kid, lucky In this quiet town Salt of the land Hard-working people, if you're in trouble They'll lend you a hand Here in this quiet town The first crop of hay is up School let out and the sun beats down Smoke billows from a Sunday train That cries away from a quiet town
  11. IIRC, Gilbert got booed against BYU in 2011. 70+ year old lady 2 rows in front of me was booing about as loudly as anyone. I expressed, to no one in particular, but perhaps to the person I was with, "C'mon, this is not necessary. He knows he's struggling." 70+ year old lady turns to me and says, "If we do not boo him, Mack will leave him in." I told her that Mack has a close-up of what we are watching - or something like that. A few plays later, he was removed for David Ash. She turns to me and yells, "See! Told ya so!" Ok, wow. SMH
  12. Phonetically- up to you. As spelled - nope.
  13. Perhaps that's why Bouwmeester was chosen over Crimmins (Purdue). Crimmins has 2 years left. Bouwmeester has 1.
  14. Statistically, the Crimmins (Purdue) and Bouwmeester (Utah), were very similar. Crimmins: 64-2871 (44.9), net of 41.8 (top 25), 27% inside 20. Bouwmeester: 60-2680 (44.7), net of 40.4 (top 50), 38% inside 20. Crimmins was honorable mention in the big10, behind Czaplicki (USC - 48.5, 45.7, 60%), Eckley (MSU - 47.9, 41.2, 14%), and Dakin (Iowa - 44.2, 40.0, 45%). For what it's worth.
  15. Not sure he's up to the task, but he could play TE.
  16. I've had bad experiences w/ tOSU fans in Austin and West Lafayette. I cannot imagine how bad it would be actually in Columbus. Been to Columbus for kid college trips. I liked the place, people were great, etc., which was a total surprise based on how my fellow fans and I have been treated by theirs. That said, if we fans stop traveling to away games at tOSU, aren't we letting the terrorists win?
  17. Auburn is the Nebraska of Alabama.
  18. We could give them a few of these.
  19. I watched too much Purdue football this year for any sane person to admit to. It seemed like nobody on that team was good at blocking. Ha. That said, Klare seemed to be the best offensive player on that team. He, the safety, and the punter are definitely worth talking to.
  20. Perfect day for him to be here. Sunny with a high of 63. West Lafayette today high of 22 and grey.
  21. Both 3%-5% (low to mid single-digit net profit) and $20B can be true - or close. United Health Care financials: 2023: $371B in revenue; $23B net income after taxes. 23/371 = 6.2% net profit. 2022: $324B revenue; $20.6B net - 6.4% 2021: $287B rev; $17.7 net - 6.2% What amazes me more is they are carrying $75B in long term debt. No idea why, nor do I care to spend too much time looking, but it is likely related to using debt - rather than stock - to fund acquisitions.
  22. Punter from Purdue was at Miss St last year. I’d still take him here. The interview above is awesome. His very first stop in the US was Starkville. They did not believe he was from Australia. Actually indicated that West Lafayette was more cosmopolitan than Starkville because a real city (Chicago) was 2 hours away. Someone like him could be an exception, though. 23 years old. Already has a bachelors degree. Not playing the NIL game. His LinkedIN says he’s looking for work in education in 2025, etc. Go get him
  23. You absolutely want to talk to a small handful of folks on the Purdue roster. They were a low quality team overall, but they were not 100% devoid of talent. P Crimmins and S Thieneman are worth talking to. Here are the punter's per-game stats from this past season. His worst game was against Oregon w/ punts of 41, 39, 36, and 42. The 39 was downed on the Oregon 1. For some reason, ESPN has him listed as a Junior, but 2023 was his first year at Mississippi State. Also, he's working on his Masters degree in Education, Curriculum and Studies. He received a Bachelors in Education Studies from Victoria University, Australia, before heading to the US.
