    Last season, J Thompson was asked who the fastest player on the team was and he said himself and Jake.  I think in the previous season, J Thompson said he was the fastest on the team including Duvernay.

    I was a bit wrong on this.  Josh Moore says he's the fastest with Jake being second fastest.  J Thompson says he is definitely faster than Duvernay.

    Are they faster than K Dixon?

    Yeah he made up a ton of ground to get back into the play 

    Schooler got juked but didn't give up and outran Dunn easily.  Surprising how much faster he looks than Dunn, but I think he just took a better angle.

    If Cade gets on a Mackey watchlist, Denzel Okafor earns a Gaskamp, and Tope Imade provides quality depth at guard, then I will know for sure that Tom Herman was a clueless, turtling drunken fuck.  

    I wouldn't consider Okafor as a Gaskamp contender.  Tope Imade, on the other hand.

    Yeah, the fact that not just Collins, but DL like Thornton, Jones, and Broughton - guys we know aren’t world beaters - are getting singled out as bright spots says a lot... about the OL.

     

    I think most recruitniks expected Broughton to be a world beater, but not in his first year.  It appears he's already surpassed Ojomo.  I expect good to great things from him.

    IT notes from Saturday's scrimmage:

      Hide contents

    By: Eric Nahlin

    -It was 1s vs. 2s for most of the day except at the end of the scrimmage where about 25 plays were 1s vs. 1s.

    -Hudson Card took the first snaps with the ones at quarterback but both he and Casey Thompson took snaps with the first and second teams.

    -Josh Thompson intercepted Card on one play when the defense played zone behind a three-man front with a delayed blitzer.

    -Thompson threw a touchdown pass to a tight end on a drag route when the defense lost track of him in coverage.

    -Bijan had several nice runs, including one for around 50 yards where he ran through a couple of poor tackling attempts.

    -The offensive line is currently without two starting tackle candidates, a first-team tackle and a second-team tackle. The edge rushing duo of Ray Thornton and Jacoby Jones did have a solid days, but it was against a slightly depleted O-line

    -Jerrin Thompson had a big form tackle near the goal line. He’s being pushed by Brenden Schooler, who had a big Saturday including several PBUs and TFLs. Schooler played with the 1s and 2s.

    -Tyler Owens made a big hit near the goal line against Roschon Johnson from the safety position.

    -The search for wide receivers continues. Jordan Whittington is about the only reliable guy for the Longhorns right now, and he is asked to do a little bit of everything.

    -Overall, the staff was happy with the scrimmage. A good, but not great, day.

    Jerrin and Brenden are playing different positions at Safety, correct.   I'd expect Brenden to be pushing BJ.

    Also JAKE

             

    I can't remember the last time we had a player break a foot.  How does that happen... someone step on him?  IIRC, there was a football player who got injured by dropping a weight on his foot.  Andrew Beck had some type of uncommon foot injury.

    I'd look at Owens as Overshown's replacement. He'll need a year to learn the position. Would be cool to seem them together though. They'd be an even more athletic combo than Malik + Gary Johnson, which coincidentally was the last time both starters at the position were good. 

    Precisely what I was thinking.

    I know this is all kind of unsolicited advice, but I was at the same point you are a few years ago and I got a lot of different opinions, read several books, and spent time on the Bogleheads forum. It seems like this is the most foolproof approach to retirement planning you can do. You won't get rich by picking a hot stock like Netflix, but you will do very well for yourself over a long period of time. Besides, you can use your Fidelity account for a brokerage account where you play around with GME and other stock gambles.

    Also, if anyone else reads this and thinks there is a better way to do it, I'm all ears. This has just been my autopilot approach since making the initial decision to go with it.

    This is pretty sound advice.  I opened a Roth recently and I'm trying to decide how conservative I want to play it.  At this point in time, I'm not looking at is as a retirement account (maybe in a few years).  I'm looking at is as an account where I can be more active with my trades without having the tax consequences.  Somewhat of a play account.  More freedom to reallocate whenever I want.  The downside is that if I lose money, I can't realize the loss.  Other than that and the contribution limit each year, I'm not sure why you wouldn't use Roth for play money.  Then again, I'm still learning.

    Thanks, everyone.

    Just set up the traditional IRA with Fidelity and will convert to a Roth IRA later this week. 

     

     

    You have, at minimum, 10 more days to contribute towards 2020.  Since tax season was extended, you may have until May 27th.  I was informed by my broker the extension, even though federal, may not apply to all States (there may have been some miscommunication).  Also, you can go ahead and contribute towards 2021.

    Just opened a Roth in addition to my traditional brokerage account.  Apparently I can transfer individual stocks from my traditional brokerage account into the Roth as a contribution?  This will help me avoid capital gains tax.  I thought I would be limited to contributing only cash to the Roth, then investing with that cash.  In other words, I  was planning on selling stocks in my brokerage account and use that cash to contribute to the Roth.  That seems dumb now.  Am I missing something?

    Nvm.  I can't do that.  Need to convert securities to cash before I can contribute to Roth.

    Was that bijan that couldn’t be taken down? Had to be 

    Jamison.

    Can't tell who split the two on the first play, but he left BJ in the dust.  BJ can't afford to get beat deep because his recovery speed is not good.

    MSOS, MSOS, MSOS. The future of US weed is Cresco, Trulieve, Green Thumb, and Curaleaf. They will be the Walmart, Target, Costco, and Kroger of weed in the US. And those are MSOS’s top 4 holdings.
    I could see diversifying but I honestly wouldn’t touch those Canadian Producers.

    Lots of talk about federal legislation.  Fingers crossed.

    Just came across this on reddit....read comment at bottom also
    17b23afb8d30078e8694aba664c85f13.jpg

    I'm confused by the last comment, "US steel is supposedly moving into this space".   Are they saying US electrical steel is moving towards GOES, as in a different form of processing electrical steel?

    I wouldn't say you missed out yet...might not make as much short term but from what I read about them before I bought is that they bought up a bunch of others in the supply chain. They control the mines and production so could run up quite a bit when/if steel prices take off in earnest with infrastructure/china news gets going

    I'm not disagreeing or agreeing with you cuz I don't know shit.  Just want to point out that the Infrastructure plan has been all over the financial news outlets in the past few days.  And I mean, all over.  Haven't been paying attention to how China plays into it other than what was mentioned by KeysPhoneWallet:  "China is rumored to be reducing its exports by reducing its rebate, so global prices go up."
