  1. I think what was most frustrating about the Miller hire is Oats. Alabama had a shit basketball program and somehow not only found him, but have kept him (so far). I just don’t buy the argument that Miller was the best Texas could expect given the state of the program. But maybe the administration really believes Miller can win big. We’ve got a ways to go before we find out.
  2. There is clearly a new idea on the 40 acres about how recruiting should be done. I’m not sure where these new insights are going to take the program, but it will at least be entertaining to see if all these guys succeed or fail at Texas. I’m very skeptical.
  3. That’s no way to win the contest!
  4. When Texas went up 2-0 I turned to my wife and said Kentucky would win it in 5. I don’t however think Texas would choke it away. I just figured Kentucky was just going to play better the last 3. I guess for the most part they did. They staved off a lot of match points.
  5. Is there a resource that addresses this? I was wondering about that, and whether wells will go dry. I’ve heard that about the area northwest of Austin too.
  6. I was just there this weekend. I love the area. The price of land is very expensive in that area. Great place to live but still be close to Austin.
  7. I love how certain people these days try to claim that they are being treated unfairly for having a different opinion, when in reality they are grossly uneducated and spouting nonsense like the rubes they are, too stupid to even recognize their own stupidity. These people are an epidemic these days as we watch disinformation expose them all. I’m sure this rube has been fooled by many many other things as well.

    I still often think about the 128k of memory in my first Macintosh.
  9. Who was the trust fund baby with a complete lack of self awareness regarding his privileged upbringing and thus unreasonably biased towards most political positions that weren’t very conservative?
  10. They both sound like brands of beer.
  11. This is such a genius post.
  12. Ok….now filter by white guys outside the top 1000. Quite a list left.
  13. Oh my god. Helobious has said something I find rational. I don’t know what to do.
  14. What a stupid comment.
  15. Yes, you are correct. It is best cast. I guess I don’t like the OP’s thread, because it could imply just throwing a bunch of money at a bunch of big name actors. This thread insists upon itself.
  16. I don’t like this data point because it’s credible and undermines my thesis. Seriously, the reason I’ve made this proclamation is because neither college or nfl teams believe that DT is that important, but I think they are potentially wrong, for the reasons I stated above. However there is a good argument for LT being more important, for sure.
  17. On a more serious note, RB is a position where you can actually tell from the stands whether the player has the potential to be a top college or nfl back. I’ve never seen Walker play live. I saw Burkhead back in the day and immediately knew he’d be a very good college back and possibly an nfl back. If anyone has seen him play live, I’d be interested to hear what they thought.
  18. Can’t you just do what the rest of us do? Go buy way more meat than we need at a price we think is a great deal but actually is not, once you take into account how much had to be thrown away due to freezer burn? This is the American way!
  19. I’m highly skeptical. Maybe Cooper’s deal had a clause that said slow white boys could be the second back.
  20. You’re answering a different question.
  21. But is it? That was a meh movie rated 53% on rotten tomatoes. Just throwing a whole bunch of well known actors into a movie isn’t great casting imo.
  22. LT has a strong argument given it protects most QB’s. I used to think Edge, but they aren’t involved in a lot of plays, so I discounted that. Shutdown CB has an argument, but I can only think of maybe a dozen ever who were so good they shut down half the field. So, that’s trying to find a unicorn like Deion.
  23. DT/NT. Yup. I said it. They stuff the run game. They clog the middle. They reduce the time DB’s have to cover. They make it easier for LB’s to shoot gaps. They are important on every single play. They charge the entire complexion of a defense. Think back to some of the best Texas teams and they usually had strong NT/DT’s, often NFL quality. Now look at this year’s Texas team. Good NT/DT play, but not elite, NFL quality. And as a result, Texas isn’t elite. I’d put more NIL money on DT’s in the future if we aren’t getting the best available. Any other position worthy of mention?
