  1. That’s not entirely accurate. He did release a picture of the alien:
  2. Rees and Steele are terrible and that shouldn’t be a surprise. However, unlike Mack Brown or Charlie Strong, Saban can personally go in and fix either the offense or defense. He fixed the defense against South Florida, while humoring Rees by letting him play the backup QB’s. Rees has no idea what to do with a running QB like Milroe, just like Yurcich had no idea what to do with Milroe at Texas, hence one of the reasons why he de-committed.
  3. I’ve been American Exec Platinum for years but I loved SWA, not withstanding the recent computer issues. They board faster. The flights are faster. The people are happier. The prices are better if you plan ahead far enough. They go into less crowded airports. They have a lot of flights per day. They have a lot of direct flights. They don’t have bullshit like carry on fees, baggage fees, ticket use by dates, etc. They’ll provide service with integrity - not withstanding the computer eff ups. They are nothing like Spirit.
  4. Oh good. Just came by to make sure everyone was as pissed as me when Maldy wasn’t pinched hit for.
  5. I always wondered how much of Campbell’s success was due to the three man defensive front scheme that he used to positive effect. It’s seemed to work well for awhile but then teams started figuring out how to attack it better. Many coaches win due to some sort of gimmick.
  6. According to a white hat hacker on Tik Tok, the entire mgm empire will have to throw out every piece of hardware they have, and every piece of software. The hackers will have installed thousands of pieces of back door code everywhere and attacks will just occur continuously for the next several years. This is not going away soon, and even if it looks like it’s resolved, hackers will just be stealing information via these backdoor access points without them knowing. He said it is one of the most sophisticated black hat attackers behind the attack. He estimated the cost to mgm of over $1 billion. I wouldn’t plan to stay at any property there for the next five years.
  7. Saban said himself he started the other QB because he was better in practice than Milroe. That assumes, I’m sure, them running the existing offense with no tweaks for Milroe.
  8. Great point. Had not thought about that at all. Yes, that could be an issue, because we do have some health issues in the group. We love the recommendations for Crested Butte, Telluride, Leadville, Buena Vista, Creede, etc. The wife and I have decided we are hitting them all in the next few years. After (re)considering a few of the requirements, we realized we are flying into Denver rather than driving up from Austin, because we have two young kids in the group and that drive would be hell. So given that, we are thinking either: 1. Golden for two nights to aclimate and then Winter Park for the remainder, using it as a home base for Breckenridge, Grand Lake if people want to drive there, or 2. Steamboat Springs, and then catch the wedding on the way back. I'm trying to figure out what Steamboat is like in the summer. It seems incredible in the winter.
  9. Speaking of SEC bad teams, I watched Miss St and they are terrible. Their QB is also horrible.
  10. I know Baylor is coming up, but I just realized that with LHN shutting down, what in the hell are we supposed to do about having Bevo on the TV during Christmas Day? I’m panicking.
  11. Somewhere on surly is a thread in the last few weeks where this team was compared to 2005. 2005 was exceptional.
  12. Listen to this former high school receiver who has chimed in.
  13. This is not the time for high optimism or extreme pessimism about this team. They have a ton of talent, show flashes of greatness, but the offense is very frustrating at times. There needs to be an indication that Sark can field a consistent offense because so far over the first two plus years he hasn’t shown he can do that.
  14. This game is nothing but commercials. What a beat down.
  15. I’ve been following this thread for a long time. I’ve noticed a lot of older peers have had difficulty finding other jobs for a long time. In some cases they are employed but hate their company/job. Others are out of work. Ageism is real. To generate some good karma, I’d be happy to look at resumes from people on here who’ve been looking a long time. I’m semi-retired but ran companies for many years. I don’t know if I can offer any advice of value, but thought I’d offer. DM me.
  16. Wow. Shocking first half.
  17. This Missouri coach is a major tool. He thinks he’s so cool.
  18. I don’t think I’ve ever been so down about this state and country in my entire life than I am today. Next up, Trump and all his co-conspirators skate for selling our most sensitive state secrets and trying to overthrow a Presidential election.
  19. Wow. That’s…not surprising?
  20. I like Milroe but I think Saban made the right decision, assuming his replacement can complete basic first read passes. It was obvious Texas didn’t respect the passing ability of Milroe at all. Saban was staring at 8-3 or worse with him. A game manager will get them to 8-3 or better.
  21. I’ve been an unabashed X fan, and said two years ago he’d be the best receiver to ever play at Texas, BUT last year was not great. We can all theorize why, but so far based on his performance he hasn’t cracked the top 5 at Texas. However, he still has time, including to make it to #1. He has the speed and moves. Does he have everything else? We gonna find out soon enough.
  22. Ya! Those lame ass boomers, being respectful to others. Eff ‘em, yo!
