  1. For me he is a Texan Nancy Mace. The moments of clarity are mainly when it’s convenient to prove their anti-establishment bonafides, i.e., there’s very little political risk to be out on that ledge.
  2. Not only was he still working but he hadn’t lost anything off his fastball.
  3. Haha, I did a loan for a guy who built a house in Granbury around the time of the Cruz-Beto election (he was retiring and lived previously in Georgetown but it had gotten too liberal). He described Granbury as "Heaven--you won't see one Beto sign in the whole town."
  4. Not that I disagree with the sentiment, but the average age on this board is probably 50. If a teenager is reading it’s purely out of old people mockery or out of curiosity to read what weird old people talk about. You know who does think teenagers, particularly blue chip football players, hang on their every word? TexAgs.
  5. The fact that dude isn’t dead of a heart attack is a testament the incredible medical community in Houston.
  6. I actually think it’s brilliant. Netflix is already trying to push subscribers into an advertising tier and I bet the analytics are showing everyone else that they HAVE to do so to keep up and CAN do so under the cover of Netflix resetting the marketplace expectation. Plus, I’m convinced that Amazon programs for Gen X and older males almost primarily and we never got “unused” to broadcast commercials because we’re the prime sports audience consumers.
  7. I think ya’ll should ask Gerry but preface it with “we all know that Rivals/Orangebloods is the only truly accurate ranking, am I right?”
  8. So CSB alert, but I was doing a five day Prolon fast with a group a few years ago and my first meal after the fast concluded was at Pieous. I ordered five pizzas, a pound of pastrami, and probably ate about half of everything. The stomach distress to follow, however, took years off my life.

    Ah, that Hershey meeting--I just got chills remembering Hamm's performance and the amazing writing. I recall thinking that Joan was just done with Don's self-centered behavior after Jaguar, even if those decisions made her better off. It was that he took control and made those decisions for everyone else that caused the bitterness.
  10. Ah yes, the first rule of fortune cookie writing is to allude to two opposite outcomes so your predictions are never wrong.

    Burgers

    I think it's really dry, but I also abstain from cheese and condiments on a burger so that's probably also to blame.

    I’m on team Suzanne Farrell.

    I really like June’s All Day, although when I went last week the updated cocktail menu was disappointing and kind of out of season (ingredients and recipes looked like summer leftovers). I also want to try Chapulin Cantina because Oaxaca cuisine is the best.
  14. I was going to bring up “trust the coaches” as up there with “Natty” on the list of things Longhorns* shouldn’t say but I didn’t want to pick on any recent offenders. *Aggies, by comparison, can’t help themselves.
  15. Not to be an external skeptic but I recall feeling this way about post-Muschamp Mack hires. On the opposite side, I think Sarkisian (regardless of what he’s paid and did last year) has a lot less institutional leverage and if it ends up being a mediocre hire he’ll get pressure to upgrade. As @SydneyCarton mentioned, I do like the DL coach on the Dolphins and Fangio is a top tier coordinator. If we’re hiring based on what they’ve done over the last 12 months then it’s comparable to a Wright hire without the legacy story.
  16. Haha, if what @YGIFS says is true then this is very much an accusation as confession.
  17. Let me give you a different bit of analysis--buyers (and maybe some sellers) now know that the Fed pivot is here. The Fed isn't raising further short of something extraordinary and that's making it easier for them to drink the Koolaid that there's a refinance to come before the end of the year.
  18. That's got to make him a shoo-in for next year.
  19. The one I thought was a little interesting (who knows if attainable) when researching a response to @SydneyCarton yesterday was Austin Clark with the Dolphins. Daryl Tapp with the 49’s and AC Carter with the Rams both had interesting resumes but not necessarily superior to Rod Wright’s.
  20. Just for some context, this is also coinciding with A&M paying whatever it takes on the DL and raising the NIL cost for everyone else. I think some of the direction UT/Davis’ took in contrast was to play to his strengths and get in rawer players that he could groom for several years (and hopefully avoid some of the arms race and chemistry issues plaguing other teams).
  21. Well, prepare your anus. Apparently only full blown excitement is acceptable today. @SydneyCartonIf I have time today I’ll try to do a little research and at least suggest one name who I like more based on their resume and who isn’t obviously not a candidate, just since you issued the challenge.
  22. Look man, I don't want to start mincing words but you're kind of forcing it as a rebuttal--expressing skepticism is not "shit(ting) on Rod Wright as a hire". Did I write something like "comparable coaches to Bo Davis are littered throughout college football" and now I need to support that? If you want to take on disproving that as a research project, be my guest. Your whole post is just a straw man argument.
  23. Because we have a third year Terence Brooks and his cousin that both appear worthy of starter snaps and with a senior Gavin Holmes and early enrollee Kobe Black that presumably have some expectation of playing time. Plus, the gossip was that Jahdae Barron wanted to compete for CB snaps so he could put that on film for the NFL. Meanwhile Bama just lost it's starting cornerbacks and Nike has decided their previous NIL restraint was holding back Oregon.
