  1. I have a 6.5 year old and he loves the Nintendo Switch. The ex-wife actually started getting him into video games a year ago which kind of annoyed me at first. But I've come around to it. He LOVES Zelda: Breath of the Wild. We went to Ren Fest a few months ago and I got him an ocarina and "Master Sword". There is a lot of usefulness with this game in particular that I think benefits him overall. Tons of problem solving and creativity needed. HIs reading has improved greatly. He's an only child, and I'm going with the strategy of letting him play video games when he wants to. Obviously I put a time limit on it and make sure he's physically active, but I think it will pay off in the end. If you told me I couldn't do something as a kid, I'd want to do it even more. I think he's the same way. He barely touches his iPad anymore after being attached to it for a couple of years.
  2. Didn't Larry David get a divorce from his real wife right around the time he and Cheryl split up on the show? I agree their dynamic is great, but I'm guessing LD wanted to mimic his real life situation with being newly single. He gets so much of his material from real life experiences.
  3. Really interested to see what happens at RB in 2024. Baxter was solid all around but nothing spectacular, it looked like he was banged up most of the year. Excited to see what he can do fully healthy. Blue was a pleasant surprise, though I think he should still be a change of pace back and not get a heavy load of carries. I thought Tre Wisner looked good, showing a lot of toughness in a smaller frame. Now we bring in Gibson and Christian Clark. I don't know much about either, but have read some people who are really high on Clark. I'm assuming it's easier to convince RBs to share carries these days as the desire for a bellcow back is fading away. But that room is stacked. Fascinated to see how it plays out.
  4. Goddamn, this team needs Tari back ASAP. Defense is atrocious and we need his junkyard dog skillset.
  5. Pretty savvy of A&M to offer him $2,000,001.
  6. Don't jump, man. Think about your family.
  7. I don't really see a reason for Holiday or Tate to get significant minutes once Tari gets back. If we don't make any significant trades, just run with a 9 man rotation and get these guys ready to make a run next year.
  8. Really happy to see Amen thriving recently. He seemed pretty uncomfortable out there until 2-3 weeks ago, but now his confidence is growing and those elite skills are starting to show. I don't even know what to say about Whitmore anymore. Human highlight reel. Still can't get over him only being 19 years old. LOL WHAT A FUCKING STEAL IN THE DRAFT Can't wait for Tari to come back.
  9. 5th pick is a stretch, but I feel like NFL people will love Byron Murphy and consider his floor to be pretty high. I can see him going top 15-20 and being the first Longhorn off the board.
  10. It's not simple. And your inability to critically think about the situation makes more sense now that you've made it about you and your false rape allegation.
  11. I've always joked about making a short film about how my life (and my fellow Oiler fans) would be different if the Oilers beat the Bills that day. Better looking, marrying younger, working a dream job, and being just a happy and optimistic person in general. All of us died a little bit that day. I remember that day vividly. I was over at @henrygandorf 's house in high school. There was a group of 4-5 of us watching. We'd play the Oilers "fight song" after every touchdown. At halftime, I remember us going outside and shooting hoops, so fucking happy and loving life. Fuck.
  12. Not sure if any of y'all have watched JT O'Sullivan's (@QBschool) all 22 breakdowns of Stroud, they are instructive and really interesting to watch. He clearly is super impressed with Stroud, but praises Slowik and his offense a lot as well.
  13. “Coach, I heard it was chicken fried steak day at the cafeteria. How was it?”
  14. Beard's reported lack of contrition and his attitude with Texas/CDC that y'all have mentioned is a HUGE red flag in the "Beard is not an abuser" argument. That's not how a victim would act. The whole thing screams mutually abusive relationship. This was not his wife/mother of his children. He got divorced and then later chose to be with this woman. He brought her from Lubbock to Austin. I'm sure the sex was "amazing". Dumbass.
  15. Wait, are we not supposed to post about Arch in the Arch thread?
  16. But he won't be worth the contract he'll be looking for.
  17. Cool photo Cole Cubelic posted on Twitter
  18. I'm not a big Jalen fan at all, but what makes the last few games a bit different is 1. a lot more effort on the defensive side. He's skying for rebounds and closing out well on shooters. and 2. taking more shots in the flow of the offense.
