  1. I like Traylor but pretty much everyone on that staff is (to me) damned by association.
  2. My old man had a Playboy sub when I was growing up so this hits close to home, #riplaststapledissue
  3. So who thinks Season 5 will involve Eleven using her powers to reunite Max’s spirit with her body, thereby undoing her death and closing the gate?
  4. Wow, I figured Caan was immortal. He just did an avclub interview in the last year.
  5. Who are the four plus Bama? Conference looks to be down this year. CTJ must think the world of Kerstetter for that loss to so affect the line’s performance. Back to recruiting, I think 7-5 or 7-6 peels off a couple but unmet expectations seems to hit the following class worse than the current one.
  6. well, we don’t really have to wonder. He’s #100 on Jim Callis’ list and probably #100-#150 elsewhere. I doubt that commands the kind of bat the Astros would (I think) target (I think they prefer someone at least a couple of seasons away from free agency).
  7. I love him, too. I want all the Myron Rolle types that can ball and make the academic All-American team.
  8. I haven’t seen that but maybe I missed it-Gerry has indicated his relationship with Gundy is the best amongst the principal recruiters and that he’s not especially verbal. I’m not sure I’d consider that immature compared to someone tweeting daily updates on their recruiting experience and other “look at me” behavior.
  9. If that’s the return I’d rather keep him for the inevitable injury or innings management to come later in the season.
  10. As someone who grew up in the Golden Triangle during their 1980’s era dominance, I’d be more than happy to have their fan base obsess over a rivalry with Arkansas or LSU or whoever instead of UT. They are kind of like an ex girlfriend that won’t stop calling-move on already, get over it.
  11. I didn't watch the spring game but even if I had I wouldn't exaggerate it's importance.
  12. For those of you that pay for a pool services company, what's your weekly spend for labor and additionally for chemicals?
  13. I find it hard to believe that a catcher in MLB doesn’t speak passable Spanish.
  14. I’m no guru but I think Brooks is the best of the lot. Bear in mind we have senior film on him so it’s a little unfair as a comparison.
  15. I’d rather they stay 3 stars yet out-perform the rating in college. Perhaps A&M can take full ownership as the home for overrated Texas prospects.
  16. It’s funny, I was having a similar thought and intended to start a thread on “what comes next.” Someone described Ukraine as a country with free elections/high corruption and that creates specific governance problems (you have to be corrupt to provide any sort of governance AND it increases the the stakes for losing an election because the other side is also corrupt AND because the elections are relatively free there’s also a high likelihood of losing). It would seem the same thing is happening in the US. For example, if the Supreme Court is going to act as de facto rulers and the only way to effectively seat one is for another to die then it sure seems like assassination is a lot cheaper than buying an election. This is also why I think the Democrats should be singularly minded on election and civil rights reforms for what little time is left before the next election. There’s a 538 article I haven’t finished reading about “what caused Jan 6th?”but one piece from the beginning that was novel was that political scientists are fixated on partisanship as the source of our current governance problems when they should be focused on the fact that both sides are so angry (I.e., we’re living in an environment of high agitation broadly). I also think social media is 50% of the problem (kind of like calvary in WW I, our tactics haven’t kept up with technology/Boomers lose their minds with social media). As the olds die things will improve, or at least that’s where I hold out hope.
  17. He’s allowed since Orangebloods doesn’t do original reporting and just lurks on Surly for content to publish.
  18. It’s what, $27 or so now with the coupon? 100% inflation over 45 years isn’t too bad.
  19. I thought it was common knowledge that the recruiting services are particularly poor at O-line evaluation. You can’t read too much into 3-star vs. 4-star.
  20. We flew back in Monday night from Jamaica, arrived (late) about 1 am and the airport felt about half full with arrivals. What was particularly nuts was the pick-up area-I’ve never seen that much traffic during daylight hours.
  21. This shit makes my head hurt, I don’t know why I read it.
  22. They are just negotiating after the fact. Don’t get mad about it, just agree with them it’s expensive and unfortunately it’s what the investor charges. If they’d like to terminate the application and go elsewhere you’ll wish them the best of luck.
  23. Hah! You must be from San Antonio.
