  1. Question, aren't college athletes in other sports such as baseball, track, swimming, etc....allowed to transfer without the restrictions that football and basketball once applied and coaches complain are no longer in place?
  2. Based upon your track record of prediction we should anticipate a historic rate in the fall of batting average and home runs along with a surge in broken bats and strike outs in roughly a month or so. Will be very interesting to see how this plays out and I still think as much as the design will benefit the batter it still comes down to whether or not you can consistently make contact with the ball. Don't see Joey Gallo coming back in the league and suddenly hitting over .200 or the above mentioned Jose Siri hitting .250.
  3. Don't you still have to make contact with the ball? You could give Jose Siri one of these and he still is going to miss when he swings at a ball two feet outside. Same with the Yankees in 2017 when McCullers threw the curve ball after curve ball after curve ball. Judge could have gone up there with a canoe paddle and he wasn't touching anything so I am not ready to say this changes the game quite yet until we see how pitchers counter.

    True enough and the moral of Sheridan's story is if you have to travel anywhere don't go with Alex, Rainwater, or Spencer unless you want to wind up dead or fighting for your life.

    Solid character, one other reaction from Banner I found of interest is how his attitude about Spencer changed when he found out exactly where Spencer fought and not just simply that he got a medal. He tried to explain to Whitfield that Spencer is the one truly hard man of all those who are going to be involved in this showdown. By killing off the one Dutton, Sheridan has basically made Spencer immortal because once again we know the end of the story and we know the significance of the 6 generations of Duttons owning the land.

    Yes, life was hard in 1923, people treated others like shit, hubris will get you killed, and people do stupid shit. I am pretty sure that has been going on since there have been people on this earth and will continue forward so I have no clue why the hell Sheridan feels the need to hammer those nails about 10 times and episode. Sad thing is this series, much like "first" part of the story could have been so much better and instead he falls back on this tired shit. Consider that he has now left Rainwater out in the middle of the fucking prairie with no clue where she is, no clue where to find food or water, no money, her dad and her first love dead and we know she somehow survives because decades later we have Thomas Rainwater. So, do you waste more time in your finale explaining how the fuck she survives, does she miraculously cross paths with the female marshal, navigates home, or do we just never really tie off that thread? Why do we need to get reminded no good deal mixed with hubris and fueled with alcohol go unpunished and do we really need to be reminded how unreliable cars and roads were in 1923 during the best of times let alone in a blizzard? Seriously Rip and Beth get their fucking ranch with foster kid and you can't have Rainwater and her love survive on the plain or Alex and the two Britts wait out the storm in Buffalo or take the train? Sheridan has gone full Shondra Rhymes with this shit. Banner is going to turn on Whitfield, you can see it in how he responded when Whitfield make the comment about the girl's mother and Banner realizes that the same pieces of shit who made his life miserable back home are present in the States even if he has a nicer home and better clothes/food for his family. Besides, somehow the Dutton's have to find out about the location of the train station unless everyone has been dumping bodies there for over a century which if the case would draw every damn scavenger in the Rockies.
  7. I am not sure if that is Al Pacino or Sean Penn, but Nick doesn't have a mustache.

    I think Sheridan turn over the last few episodes to an AI program and simply asked that every possible stupid decision and peril be included in the script.
  9. TCU did get play South Carolina earlier in the year and that game was about as close as the title game against Georgia a few years back. I have no clue how Texas and South Carolina compare in terms of physicality, but did read that Carolina forced 20 turnovers and did what they wanted on the offensive end so if Texas better than that it has been a nice year for Campbell and his team.
  10. What is the worst that can happen, they look like they have totally fucked up the second driver situation and the team as a whole is in danger of imploding on Helmut?
  11. WTF? $23M a year for a receiver who had lost a step before blowing out his knee? Heck, Tank Dell might get $5M in this market if he can ever walk again.
  12. Not happening, they didn't sign two journeymen tackles with that bit of money they free upped from re-working contracts simply to pay for depth at tackle. Robinson and Fisher start and Titus slides to guard which means they stay put and draft the best available interior offensive linemen to fix one of the other holes in their offensive line and address the tackle situation next year. This isn't a great offensive tackle draft, every prospect has got some issues and I don't see them overpaying for someone they aren't sure about and you don't go get two veteran tackles if you are sure about a prospect.
  13. Not sure what people are watching, but I am damn sure people aren't watching that steaming piece of crap staring the two DeNiro's.

    Understand, my wife is all in on any of Sheridan's series, but even she has started to laugh at some of the scenarios that are written for Spencer. Fucking Odysseus had an easier and shorter trip home than Spencer.

    There wasn't a tense scene with them in the car with Spencer, merely wasting more fucking time. Who didn't see what was coming the minute they had the conversation about the tax? The tense scene you are talking about was lazy arse writing where Spencer with a straight razor to his throat and a grown man's hand on the barrel, somehow can move around without getting a knick on his face, turn the gun barrel, shoot one guy, and then take care of the other two. I heard Sheridan saw in a podcast that when he writes these episodes he sits down and cranks them out all at one time which makes perfect sense watching these series unfold.
  16. These are not a rumor and I told this board what I saw at that track meet. Kid is a headcase and a cancer, but go ahead and attack the high school coaches. Neg me into oblivion all you fucking want, don't care, but you don't want this kid on your team and it is fucking hilarious watching the experts on this board rationalize this decision. Time to find out if Sark learned from Saban or if he is going to be like Mensa.
  17. Only providing an answer to the poster who asked how Evans did, but I forgot you only care about Texas recruits so anyone have any thoughts about what happened with Blue at the track meet this past weekend?
  18. No, dumbass. Vettel on the radio always bitches about every other driver and is god's gift to motorsports What the fuck is wrong with you?
  19. So Vettel wasn't at fault? Okay, so why does Seb apologize to Ocon and why does Seb get the penalty is he wasn't at fault?
  20. Realize it is very, very early with a new team and for the team itself in some ways, but thoughts on Vettel? He was bad in qualifying and was clearly at fault in the collision yet on the radio he is confident it is the other driver. Reminds me of the guy driving 15 mph too slow in the left lane with his blinker on bitching about all the other dangerous drivers.
  21. Many got what they wanted which is Max with and equal if not better car and Lewis still pulls out the win. Obviously they are the top two drivers, but the question I have is what happens with the Mercedes car. Heard and read multiple times since the new regs came out, testing, and in qualifying that the low rake cars were being negatively impacted by the changes while the higher rake cars were mostly unaffected. Mercedes does what Mercedes does apparently and in less than a month's time they go from a car that is struggling to stay on the track let alone be competitive to 2 top 3 finishes. Does anyone expect Merc to pull ahead of the field with their car as they continue to dial things in with adjustments or will Red Bull be able to find more from that car?
  22. Thanks, glad to know someone cares.
  23. Frogs split 220 carries between four backs this past season with Barlow getting the most carries. Why Zach didn't get more carries sooner is something most of us won't know, but it wasn't because he was a true freshman. Miller got more carries earlier and he was a lightly regarded recruit. The explanations for Evans were either he was out for Covid reasons or he was adjusting to the pace that TCU practices. Both could be right, both could be total bull shit, and I think we will see this year if Evans has bought in a bit or if he is going to implode. Frogs return those 4 backs and Foster who was injured and missed the last half of the season. They don't have to have Evans, but he can be special.
  24. Common knowledge that is about as fucking right as most of the expertise on the internet that is completely fucking wrong, but keeping telling yourself you have a clue as the most common bonds the schools have are the color purple, being near the interstate, and having christian in their name. I have nothing against burnt orange and think it is a unique and great color for the school. Damn shame Texas doesn't wear true burnt orange anymore.
  25. Glad to see Gasly with the solid effort and I think he might be the driver I pull for the most this year. Interesting that even though the second driver for Red Bull changes, the results don't seem to follow. I think Max can and will challenge Lewis this year I don't think Red Bull challenges Merc for the constructor title.
