  1. I wish! That sounds much more fun.
  2. I mean- what tone Am I supposed to set tomorrow?
  3. I mean, I guess we will just have to agree to disagree about where we are at right now. Everyone knows that you are a soft touch and willing to overlook pretty apparent problems because you want to "trust the corches" I hope I'm wrong. Still think 10-2 or 11-1 is more probable than any other outcome but I want to see them start playing to a standard on offense sooner rather than later b/c eventually it will matter. I'm wound up b/c I truly believe this is the best chance, by far, of winning a national title since 2008/09. I'm grading on a curve with high expectations on this team, and maybe that's unfair.
  4. I will get the other two graded this weekend and put up the season scoreboard. Been slammed at work, on the road and dealing with a miserable poison Ivy Situation. Prediction- Texas 59 UTEP 3. Prop bet- total yards from scrimage (so catching or running) from the WR position. 258
  5. That’s what is so frustrating. That lineup they trotted out Saturday? There’s not a hole in it. Not everyone is great but there’s not a single below average hitter in it. we scored 11. First time we’d seen the lineup all year. We haven’t seen it since.
  6. They’ve broken me. I no longer hate this team. I applaud what they are doing as a great piece of trolling and performance art. Bravo Astros, Bravo.
  7. Why wouldn’t you walk him?
  8. Zero chance here.
  9. I absolutely love this. In Arlington we went 3 innings in a row without advancing now we said- let’s go backwards!
  10. If we don’t lose here we lose in 10 thankfully. LmJ gonna be our last bullet (to the head)
  11. I don’t remember his prospect shine. I have a type/ good fastball and swing and miss. Command/control not as big a deal.
  12. Fucking Varsho. That’s a former catcher doing larceny at CF 2X tonight.
  13. Astros pitching prospects I’ve been super hyped about: Forest Whitley (I still sort of believe) Hunter brown arrighetti blubaugh Ullola. The Arrighetti injury is so sad. If blubaugh can keep his elbow intact I think we have a good one.
  14. Dfa him. At best he’s a 5th OF thats even though he averages like 2.8 WAR per season played (150 type games)
  15. I feel like you are ignoring yeoman work Jfkfc has done on that front.
  16. Don’t tell me about “latest politicized issue dude”. I’ve been saying this for 30 months. Consistently. And I’ve been right literally every single time I’ve said it. And I was calling for them to raise rates 4 years ago (or at least 3.5).
  17. But we pretended they were and market priced accordingly. it’s awesome that the Fed drives looking through the review rather than the windshield.
  18. Not sure why it’s not just Ullola.
  19. 910k jobs that didn’t exist? Messing up the industry for like a year. habibs take
  20. Add not a bunch of dumb shit penalties and yeah- that’s what I wanted to see and didn’t from the last game.
  21. I do watch other teams play. Sometimes it feels like I’m the only one with all the idiots saying 7-5/8-4/9-3 ceiling after Texas games. That’s dumb. This team could be special with that defense and kicking game, but… man…
  22. To me beat yourself means turnovers, penalties and dumb shit stuff that's self inflicted, not being fucking incapable of scoring on good teams. The former is about self inflicted bullshit, the latter is sort of about what your actual quality as a program is. It's a slight distinction but after a loss we say things like "if only we wouldn't have done this, that or the other we'd have won" while they say things like- if only we were capable of completing a forward pass we would have won. There's a distincition there even if there's not a difference. I bet on the incompetant team (them) over the one that likes to cut itself so that it can feel alive (us) if it all comes down to the end of the game.
  23. Also, holy shit I've been selling sunshine on this program for 4 years now- since december of 21 when Sark killed the recruiting and the portal. I've got optimistic threads in 2022 and 2023 where I had the zeitgeist of this team and this program right with the arrow pointed up, while a confederacy of dunces surrounded me bleating stupid shit like "6-6 with 8-4 as an absolute ceiling" or "we are losing to Bama" or "we won't be ready for the SEC" or all sorts of other nonsense. Hell, even in the darkest post I've made on here in forever I still say 10-2 or 11-1 and playoffs, losing in the quarters or semi's. That's not exactly grim, that's just what this team looks like to me as a best case scenario, unless we get a lot better, which, hey it could happen and I want it to. If I'm a little more surly than normal I got into some poison ivy while trying to fix up a rental house and it's covering my entier body with rashes, blisters and my eyes swollen shut, head to toes, stomach, legs and gooner. It's day 6. Chat GPT tells me it's the worst from day 4-7. Holy hell I'm miserable, itching, swelling, unable to sleep etc. At least I'm on enough steroids to hit a home run at MMP right now.
  24. I mean- this is why I’m perfectly comfortable saying we go 11-1 or 10-2 and are favored in all our games sans perhaps Georgia. it’s a shitty year for college football with no great teams, but Ohio state has shown they aren’t going to literally beat themselves and I would guess the same about PSU, Notre Dame, probably Georgia. None of those teams are “good” and PSU is really really shitty at doing anything against similarly talented teams, but would you bet on us right now down 13-7 with 1st and 20 on the 20 to punch it in and beat them?
