  1. I feel like he’s got to be intentionally fucking around for headshots to look like that, but then I see that all his photos are weird.
  2. I heard he was told “Alto o disparo!”
  3. Are you the poster that keeps repeating this, and thereby implying Kern is going to be Dicko 2.0? I don’t think we should be playing ANY freshman punter, ideally.
  4. I’m on the other side-if you want to beat up teams with strong defense you’ve got to pair that with a reliable punter. Particularly with the offense poised to be more inconsistent next season with the new lineman and TE.
  5. I think there’s a misunderstanding of how GOP politics tends to operate. They aren’t trying to use vouchers to improve education. At least in Texas, it’s an intermediate step on the way to use public funds for private religious schools and the proof that you only need a couple of committed west Texas billionaires to run a state.
  6. I think the economics of this are changing and it’s not settled. If Sydir Mitchell, for example, requires $250k annually to retain and doesn’t contribute until his fourth in the program, that’s basically $1m for a stud DT in the portal (presuming that’s available). I know it’s not that simple and there’s very much an appeal to bird in hand, I just don’t think we can predict with any confidence the best practice yet. Worse, each position is likely different (for example, I think pulling offensive lineman from the portal is clearly inferior to developing them, yet that’s because there’s so much continuity required in that position group).
  7. Yeah, I don’t know why that poster says it likes it’s a bad thing. Add to that the Kwiatkowski defense has a long history of using a LB/big safety hybrid effectively.
  8. Backlash from whom? Have you seen the voting patterns in Austin? My neighborhood went something like 75%-80% for Harris. The GOP gave up on earning votes from here 20 years ago. Even prior to that, Austin was “the people’s republic” for the majority of voters.
  9. If he ends up being that good at baseball it’ll be because he’s focusing on it at the detriment to football training, in which case he’s likely buried on the depth chart anyway. it does look like early playing time at LB will be a selling point for the ‘26 class.
  10. Eh, I will be shocked if Jonah Williams doesn’t end up at LB.
  11. I feel the same-I’m pro-Michigan to the extent that it’s not hindering excellence at The University and fucks over those couch terrorists in Ohio.
  12. @Crayon1973 is going to kill you in your sleep.
  13. I know the aesthetic here is kind of Hayes Fawcett’s thing, but Elko looks like he just came down from the mountains with severe frostburn and the kid’s as orange as an Oompa Loompa.
  14. This is why I only very reluctantly make referrals to insurers. When they are non communicative and a borrower complains to me about it I feel like Crash Davis shouting after the batter “I give you a gift and you stand here showing up my pitcher? Run, dummy!”
  15. I would love to switch out of Farmers because somehow we got signed up with some agent in Missouri City that we have zero connection with, but it’s just been cheaper than everyone else and we’ve been shopping for the last two years. We’ve got 1% wind/hail deductibles on our houses and that seems to be unavailable on new policies, too.
  16. This is probably upthread but an Alamo hack is to buy the $100 gift card packages at Costco (cost $75). It’s like going back in time to 2014 ticket/food prices with the 25% reduction.
  17. Looks like two pears in a pod…
  18. Well shoot, he was my Hayden Conner replacement for guard who needs SPF 80 before going outside.
  19. I would argue that this dovetails with the economic argument and that the Dems didn’t tell a good story on this in 2024. Too many voters decided THEY were the vulnerable population and the Democrats didn’t sufficiently reassure them that their distress was a priority.
  20. I just presumed that’s Banks since TE’s alternate between receiving and lineman drills.
  21. I’m again trying to read tea leaves, but if you think that retention is going to be expensive, and that depth is the difference maker between teams like Texas and A&M, then that argues for spreading the money around on a greater quantity of lower profile transfers than the Walter Nolan’s of the world. 10 is the under, especially with scholarship limits poised to increase.
  22. Well, in support of your argument (and as a rebuttal against mine), there’s likely donor fatigue all around the big schools and a transfer DT from the Big 12 isn’t likely to have a lot of appeal as a promotional partner to someone like Lamborghini Austin.
  23. If what @closetojumping and others have speculated regarding Harris is accurate, that’s a title in name only and Sark is the real GM. My point is that’s not a model that tends to work outside of a hall of fame type career, and even then it’s questionable.
  24. That’s got to be coming-the stakes are getting too high and schools will need to follow the NFL front office model and then some, particularly since you have to so many more players for transfer candidates plus expanded high school as recruiting becomes less regional for the top 20 or 30 schools.
